OP(old post)#2: Yule Log Cake/ Model Bridge

Another one of my old post, enjoy!

Aloha! (。・ω・)ノ゙

Have you ever heard of the Yule Log Cake? It is also know as Bûche de Noël( ´∀`)pronounced (BOOSH duh noh-EHL). It was created by a French pastry chef in late 18th century who came up with a great idea to replicate the yule log in the design of a cake. Yule log are used to carry out the tradition of celebrating Christmas and the winter solstice by burning the wooden log in the fireplace. It’s kind of similar to a roll cake, with it’s swirly shaped design.

My mom’s best friend, “auntie” bought a cake similar to the one below. I am so stupid, I was late to dinner and missed out on taking a picture on the cute yule log cake.(; ̄д ̄)Oh, well it’s okay I have some leftover of the cake ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ノ yay! The cake was certainly interesting, it was split into half: one part was chocolate and the other was green tea with sprinkles of azuki beans within the cream. Omg, I love both of them~ (´ ▽`).。o♡ For some reason, my family members and auntie said that the chocolate one taste really sweet? haha, am I the only who likes it? At first I couldn’t decide on which one to try first cuz I love drinking tea (●♡∀♡) ~ and I also love chocolate esp. dark chocolate ♡^▽^♡

The one my auntie bought was similar to this one~

Oho, so I ask my mom to give one to me randomly♪ So I got green tea XD Sorry for the crummy looking picture –I realized that my phone is terrrible at taking pictures (>人<)

It was actually pretty sweet of my auntie to buy this delicious yule log cake♬ Considering the fact that my dad is without a job, it made Christmas a bit cheerier :) Hopefully my dad’s body can take speed recovery and get back to work ^^ If he doesn’t, then I might have to get a part-time job to help out the family. It would be a new experience though it might not be fun of course since it is work. ┐(‘~`;)┌

here’s is one side of my bridge, another to go!

My workspace is messy as you can see.

Work in Progress (´(エ)` )

This bridge is for MESA if you don’t know what MESA is, it stands for Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement it’s a program that help disadvantage students learn more bout math and science in a fun way~ (^(I)^) Also it helps students who want to become engineer, mathematician, or scientist; just so you know it’s not something I want to do in the future. fufufu(⌒▽⌒), I am just doing this for fun~

I once had a dream about becoming an architect–dreaming bout designing Gothic Architecture 。◕‿◕。

Now that I think about thoroughly, I am not sure if this is my passion 【・ヘ・?】I think all these drafting and blueprints of the design would drive me insane! My mom said if i made a building of some sort, I would probably be risking peoples’ lives. (;¬д¬) What the heck?!? Sighh..hard to find some one who has faith in me and actually do believes in me, no matter what happen. If the people you trust can’t, who can you?

Anywho, have you heard of The Calling? If you haven’t check this song out :) It’s called ‘Wherever You Will Go‘. This is old song but one of my old favorite~




So cutee <3


Gotta Sleep, Byee (。-ω-)ノ

Old Post-Christmas~

An old post from my other blog~ I was meaning to upload this for a long time, so here enjoy :)






Aren’t these cute? I just found them (^(エ)^)

Anywho, MERRY CHRISTMAS~ or if you don’t celebrate Christmas, then Happy Holiday! This Christmas seems a bit bland and boring, mundane I must say (´A`。) It isn’t the same without my idiotic older cousin (he went oversea in Britain to study), somehow there is a lack of spirit and togetherness with my guy cousins w/o him…ehhh it’s isn’t to say I actually miss him. It is more like there is an emptiness in my grandparent’s place. Then again I was always a loner, fufufu( ´∀`) nothing new at all. Somehow without my older cousin, my younger guy cousins doesn’t wanna hang out with me ((´д`)) What the heck?!? Those punks…well I only wanna hang out with them to play a card game of 13. ヽ(´ー`)┌ Do you know how to play 13? It’s hecka fun~

This year I didn’t get to bake much, unless you count the times I cook in Cooking class. To be entirely honest, I absolutely loathe and detested that class (¬д¬。) The actual part where I get to cook is fun but the cleanliness of the place is disgusting (since I had it first period) dirty dishes in the sink, ants crawling around the kitchen station >.> Utterly filthy…I would never take that class ever again. Cooking was actually more of common sense and using your brain to follow directions; however it turns out some of my group members are terrrible at reading (¬、¬) Somehow we manage to pass the class for the quarters. Thank goodness for our final we can choose different groups \(^▽^@)ノ I was able to relax and chill out for once :)

Hmm, what else can I say about myself? Truthfully, I am not a normal person..but then again no one is perfectly normal, right? My good friends or what they like to called themselves my best friends –called me a weirdo, actually scratch that, one of my good friend said that I was #1 on her creepy friend list. (゜´Д`゜) What the…? Why do I deserved that when me and her know that one of other friends is way creepier than me. Screw that, hmm, I would describe myself as an eccentric, book lover (actually any book that’s interesting, also comics/mangas), sometime drama watcher, amateur artist, knitter/crocheter, a fan of anything cute/kawaii (´ ▽`).。o♡, music aficionado (。’▽’。)♡, tea lover and something other things as my hobbies. There is more things but I am sure I will blog more bout them.

New word that I learnt today :) Lissotrichous (li-SO-tri-kuhs): Adj. Having straight or smooth hair. Origin: It comes from Greek; “lissos” = smooth and “thrix” = hair. Some related words are cymotrichous (having wavy hair), trichotillomania (the compulsion to pull out one’s hair), and its end result atrichia (baldness).

What a big word right? Sure, is interesting (´・ω・`) I need to keep up on my vocabulary, so that my brain won’t die out from the lack of learning. Hmm, I would say that my hair type can be describe as lissotrichous since I am Asian, fufufu( ´∀`) of course that’s isn’t true for all Asian though majority do have lissotrichous hair.

This is actually something that i wanted to test out on my computer, so please don’t mind it. hahah I learnt how to type the word fruit in korean. How cool~

열매 = fruit~

Thanks again for reading my first post, until next time ー( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

Look even more XD So cuteee~
