Thanks for the lemonade!

What is your favorite "pick me up" song? Here's mine. It's called "Lemonade" by Chris Rice. The music is so fun and catchy while the text is really optimistic. It put a smile on my face every time, and I can't just help singing alone. Enjoy!

(If you love this song and would like to hear more from Chris Rice, I recommend "When did you fall in love" and "Untitled Hymn". Search for these on Youtube, or better yet, buy the CDs!)



"Lemonade"

So go ahead and ask her
For happy ever after
'Cause nobody knows what's coming
So why not take a chance on loving
Come on, pour the glass and tempt me
Either half-full or half-empty
'Cause if it all comes down to flavor
The glass is tipping in my favor

Life gave me lemonade and I can't imaine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath the tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I'm a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade

Now take your time to answer me
For the beauty of romancing
Is to calm you trembling had with mine
While begging love to fill your eyes
I can hardly breathe while waiting
To find out what your heart is saying
And as we're swirling in this flavor
The world is tilting in our favor

Live gave me lemonade and I can't imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath the tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I'm a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade

I've got it made
Rest in the shade
And hold my love
While God above
Stirs with a spoon
We share the moon
Smile at the bees
More sugar please
He really loves us after all
We're gonna need another straw
We're gonna need another straw

Life gave me lemonade and I can't imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath the tangerine sky
Life gave me lemonade and I can't imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath the tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I'm a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade
(Life gave me lemonade)
Thanks for the lemonade

Thanks for the lemonade!

A cure for your Monday Blue!

Happy Monday, everyone! So, many of you probably do not know that I'm taking hairdressing class right now. I actually finish the basic training, i.e. basic hair washing/blowing, coloring, perming, cutting, and I do enjoy it very much. Can you tell I'm all about making women look their best :)

So, I thought it would be fun to share with you guys an easy-to-follow tutorial on how to create loose waves with your curling irons:) It's the most helpful tutorial I can find. I tried it, and it worked!




Have fun!

A cure for your Monday Blue!

Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens...

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

[Repeat all verses]

Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens...

Gummy Bear Surgery!!!!

Is Gummy Bear one of your favorite treats? Or are they almost too adorable for you to eat ? Then, skip this post, 'coz it includes some graphic details of an intricate surgery that may appears as too violent for some, and I don't want to be reported to the Gummy Bear Society! LOL. Warning: You may not be able to stop laughing!

How in the world can you eat these cakes!!!

These cakes are so amazing that if I have them, I'll probably stare at them for hours before actually eating them! They are from an online cake competition hosted by threadless T shirt company, in which its competitors create cakes that resemble shirts' designs of the company (Click on the link to see the shirt and cake side by side. There are a lot more cakes there, too.). What a neat idea, huh?

Here are some of my favorites!

So, other than Etsy and Twitter, I have to admit that I have other addictions as well. Here are two FUN (and FREE) things I really enjoy lately :)

Do you see my cute dressed up avatar on the left sidebar? That is from poupee.com, a Japanese web application for grown-ups who do not want to grow up. LOL. It's like having a virtual doll (poupee is doll in French) and dress it up all you want. The only difference is that you can "buy"clothes for your doll without out begging your Mama for money.

No, it won't cost a cent. Here's how it works: you post some photos of your (real) wearable items (clothes, jewelry, shoes, hair accessories, make-ups, etc.) to share with others. Then, you'll earn some ribbons, which is the virtual money unit on poupee.com, to buy adorable clothes, shoes, etc. for your dolls. You can also make friends with other poupees, take the snapshot of your poupee and share with others, too (like my case). How I love looking at people's closets and dressing up my doll in adorable outfits (that I don't have. lol.)!

(One problem with this is that since it's originally Japanese, sometime you may feel a little lost when you wander into a page with everything in Japanese, but let me assure you that the English there is decent, and you can definitely manage. I'm not Japanese, you know!)

The second addiction is the "Farm Town" application on Face book. Above is a snapshop from the game. Basically, you'll be a farmer working diligently to plant and harvest different crops. You can also have fruit trees, flowers and animals. Then, if you work hard, you'll keep getting richer and richer to the point you can buy a stunning mansion like this one (and many other fun thing). If only real life is that easy! LOL.

What I like the most about this game is that it is very interactive. You can chat with other players, visit/tend their farm, hire someone to work for you (and earn more profit that way). Of course, if you're broke or need more money to buy seeds (and what's not) for your farm, you can go to the marketplace to find a harvesting job in someone's farm. Fun!

(The only problem with this game is that the crops take forever to grow - from 4 hours to even 4 days real time, but you can always work on someone else's farm and earning heaps of money while waiting for your crops)
