Lychees and Dragons

My little cousin's boss, a really nice Chinese guy in his early thirties who owns the only authentic Chinese cuisine resturant in town, shared some really interesting fresh fruits from Asia with us. We had some fresh dragonfruit, lychees (that's one thing off my bucket list because I absolutely LOVE lychee juice) and some famous pastries from some shop in California.

I feel like being a fat kid and stuffing my face with the cute little lychee fruits and pastries.

I wanted to take some pictures but sadly my phone is completely dead (it refuses to charge anymore) and my camera is broken (the lenses got knocked out so it doesn't focus) so I just decided to use some pics from the internet.

Lychee (extremely tasty Thailand fruit)
I had to warn my cousins to not accidentally swallow the seeds because I heard they're POISONOUS!

Dragonfruit

I tried the juice and it numbed my tongue but I tried a freshly sliced one and it was AMAZING! My cousins have five more at their house along with some unknown fruits (I say unknown because I've never heard of them).

As for the pastries... I don't know what they are called but my cousin's boss said it takes TWO hours to get a box of the pastries (one hour to order and one hour to make). I think its a type of Danish pastry with cream cheese but its really DELICIOUS!!! I'll add a photo later if I find one.

Other than that my aunt and uncle mentioned something about a Jackfruit (cousin's boss is going to show them how to cut this fruit later on tomorrow - I hope they take pictures) and Durian fruit (its nature's weapon... just imagine flinging this at an enemy ^^).

As a thank you, I think my cousins and grandma want to throw a cookout in the mountains so we can show him our grandpa's land and the house my cousins' are building up there. I'm definitely going to go that time even if i get attacked by mosquito because I want to snap some more pics of the trees, bear cave, and canyon.

Plus ts always interesting what you randomly find in the forest... I once came across a campsite that looked like an old murder scene because the discarded sleeping bag had these huge tears in it and there was a shredded shirt. I took pictures of the whole scene and my uncle said it looks like a CSI crime scene photos ^^;;

Updated Lost Sin

I completely forgot that I updated my Lost Boys fanfic, Lost Sin on Fanfiction.net~

I revised ch 1-3 before adding a whole new ch 4. The story line has been refined because I actually took the time to write out the plot (something I almost never do because I get side tracked all the time).

Sadly I got writer's block and stopped on ch 5 because I can't figure out the setting (I even spend a whole day at the fair for "research")... probably because the only time I went in a fun house was by myself so I can't imagine how it would feel with a friend. My friends don't like the Fun House because its annoying.

Oh well for now I guess I'll just focus on my non-supernatural creatures stories >w< also the cover picture is Lawrence (Paul's brother - an OC who isn't too important to the story).

New Fanfic

I've recently been reading a lot of kidnap stories on QuoteV plus a handful of overbearing werewolf mates to make me glad I'm human and know no werewolves or have a mate for that matter.

I have developed a fear of two words, "Mine" and "Mate".

Anyways, I decided to write a 2P! Hetalia fanfic based on the random thought of what would happen if Alfred (1P America) and Allen (2P America) fell in love with the same girl?

Considering their very different personalities I fear for that poor girl... ^^ I can just be so evil sometimes to my own fictional OCs.

Oddly enough I have a bunch of chapters but those are later on scenes so for now I'm just struggling through my writer's block for dialogue and descriptions because I have the outline. It's like drawing a circle (story outline) but getting a hand cramp (writer's block) preventing the circle from being shaded (dialogue) and contoured (descriptive senses) into a finished product.

Drifting in the abyss

Found a RL job and so excited for Big Bang's comeback in April!!! I seriously wish I could go to their concert in L.A. (if they decided to go there) but I find it impossible because their tickets sell out in less than a minute and my internet so slow!
Stopped working on the ch 2 & 3 revisions because I'm so caught up in working and attending classes. I almost finished untangling all the plot twists, loopholes, and plot pits for the whole ch 1 - 13 but I guess it will have to wait until I start my nomadic year of traveling~

So far this is what I have on my mind lately... Dimitri (sin's older brother) and his best friend (the friend is a new development because trust me everyone needs at least one friend in thee life even if they drive you over the edge at times) come to Santa Carla for an (un)welcomed "visit". Hmm~ Just the thought of our favorite Five (and i think Star =_= she's my least favorite person so i tend to forget about her) with three new younger vampires (Sin, Dimitri and his friend)... The shores will run red  with all the romantic tense among these eight. Or at least that's what I hope to achieve.

Darn. Now I feel bad for ignoring my story for so long. Oh well. Not many people check this blog anyways. ^^;; I get the feeling I would make a terrible client for any Editor to work with because I would be the lazy writer avoiding her work until a week before the deadline. Such bad habits die hard :D

Just savoring this picture of the awesome Daryl while I enjoy the walking dead~

Maybe Dimitri's friend can be based on Daryl... hmm... maybe?

Lost Sin - Revised Chapter 1

Sorry about taking down almost all of the chapters from FanFiction.net
I was planning on using the first chapter for a contest-thing, but it got cancelled :(

I am nothing, but Sin

It took awhile with tons of ink from both the printer and various pens plus help from various friends to fix most of the grammar/spelling errors. Basically it took forever to finish revising the first chapter. I hope everyone enjoys this revised chapter. I'm halfway through the 2nd chapter =_=;; and should have it posted on here next month along with ch 3. Its going to forever before I finish revising the chs but I believe that by then I should definitely have new (not revised but literally new) chapters by New Years... Fun thing about the Google Docs is you can comment on anything in the page.

The Day After

Its the day after my birthday... day one of being 23 is over XD

Anyways... ^^;; I actually got a lot more happy birthday wishes then I had originally thought from various friends around the world and =_= part of my family didn't know it was my birthday until we lit the small cake my mom bought me!!! Even though the cake was my least favorite flavor (vanilla blah~ its always so damn dry!!!) i still loved it because I got to stand around a table as everyone sang to me and called me by my various nicknames. It was such a sweet moment. If only my mom didn't have to work that night...

Aside from that, TT TT my older sis made me clean up the house after she woke up! I was bossed around all night long before we finally got to eat the cake and ice cream. Then I completely crashed out on the bed. She was laughing away about the fact that it was my birthday yesterday yet she made me do this and that with no mercy -_-

Birthday Blues

I woke up super late this morning and it finally hit me... Its my birthday, I'm officially 23! O_o
Its funny though because my mom asked me last night if I would like a "fly cake" (the pre-made cakes from the local grocery store that flies are very likely to sit on before people buy it). I just want to buy some carrot cake mix, apricot jelly, whipped cream and cream cheese frosting. That way I can make my experimental birthday cake today. I think most people would agree its a sad thing that as you get older it doesn't matter anymore that you spend your birthday alone watching movies and making cake... OMG I've gotten old ^^ I wish I could say I'm spending the day with family and friends... but my parents left to work, siblings either left for the day or still in a deep sleep and all my cousins took off for a day trip to the big city~

Now its just me and my computer (all my online friends are offline too!!!)

I only got a happy birthday wish from two people and one of them isn't even a person! Thanks Hawaii (a real person and excellent Chinese translator friend) and Google (not a real person). -_-

Well I decided to add a playlist to this blog from SoundCloud. And I think I will officially shut down my other old scanlation blog Reaper Scans. I had really hoped that I could figure everything out but it seems like I will continue it and put it back up in two years because first I need to get my BA degree.

To all those people who come across this and think, "Why the heck are you blogging if no one is going to see it?"

Well the answer is simple! I do it because I like doing it. Blogging is a place I can rant all my crazy random thoughts to the world! Or at least the cyber world. It doesn't matter if anyone sees this blog or not because I'm beginning to learn other people's opinions about me don't matter. Nekos are solitary creatures, we don't need anyone else.

Ah! I just remembered, I'm actually going to be selling three books I have in my little library of junk. its vol 8 - 10 of Koibana! Koiseyo Hanabi in the original Japanese paperback format. Not sure if anyone even likes the author but I figured some US fan might want to have the original books.

Well I guess that's enough ranting for today~
