Blog of a Eliza from NY, that makes beautiful cakes which will inspire me to make some polymer ones! On youtube: ConfettiCakes. No idea why I have this flickr user: jpop3000? A girl named Betty, who apparently became popular because she danced very... you have to see the video...

Wow, I guess I never knew that people had such closed minds... I live in a city that is truly multicultural. I have never experience or seen racism in my life. And for others to do that I find it totally wrong. I like Asian men since my early 20s. There are a few differences between men borned in NA and those who haven't...Asian men born outside of NA, they're very different from Asian born in NA. Their mentalities are also very different. Overall, they're all pretty much sweet and treat you like a jewel... I have dated white men but the relationship has been very different, not as sweet but still kind... Example. my Asian exes doted on my liking cute stuff and encouraged it. With Western men they discouraged me from it. The things my W-exes told me were "grow up and stop acting like a child!", "Are you seriously an adult?", "Didn't you have a good childhood, that you have to revert to it?".... those are some of my faves from them... Now that I remember some of our fights were due to that! Oh, maybe there are Western men out there that don't mind it but the ones I dated surely did...

what is wrong with the customer service now a days! I can't believe the nerve of some people. How can you do that to someone! I am so angry at the fact that the airline has such asses as employees! If it had been me I would have sued [for more then 2 mil.] not only the airline but the flight attendant, for say it was OK and then going and bitching to the pilot that she/he wanted the seat back, & the pilot, for being a prick and asking a paying customer to hang out in the toilet w/o a seat belt.

Learn some manners!

what are these shows good for! they will, most likely, not learn nothing and go back to their cushy lives and forget about that! let's see if any, keep helping out those in need after the cameras have left, that I would like to see. Aahh, but society is so dysfunctional like that! but will see... shouldn't put all my ducks in one basket, yet!

Is he totally crazy... how about if he had gotten into an accident and hurt or even worse kille someone! bad man!

crazy drunk man!!!!

Obama has led a fairly pleasant existence, with most of its suffering and conflict taking place within his own head as he tries to turn himself into an authentic angry black man.

Wow! Einstein thought of the belief in god as a childish superstition and that Jewish people are not the chosen one, even though he himself is one... He also decline to be the 2nd president of Israel, that I didn't know... He has the same birthday as OCM and me!!!

Cell phones to be used for emergency purposes, too... cool!! I guess in times of need your phone is one gadget to have!

I can't believe the nerve of some people... How can you do that to someone! I am so angry at the fact that the airline has such asses as employees!!! If it had been me I would have sued [for more then 2 mil.] not only the airline but the flight attendant, for say it was OK and then going and bitching to the pilot that she/he wanted the seat back, and the pilot, for being a prick and asking a paying customer to hang out in the toilet w/out a seat belt. How come people are so cruel but I can't expect all human beings to have a heart or a sense of decency!!! Oh, so angry!!

I may think of this when the time comes... getting dissolved instead of getting cremated... just read an article on the discovery channel about this. Apparently is environmentally green as the coffee color liquid [human] can be pour down the drain, doesn't emit gas emissions and take up too much space like crematoriums do! :) I hope this process is used, if its really found safe!

Goodbye to HELLO!
Sad I had signed up to hello about 3-4yrs ago... now they have killed it! too bad it was fun to use when uploading to my blog! bye hello!!! mountain view has the domain now...

my second batch of imaginationApril month was the introduction to polymer clay! I wanted to a long while to do some crafts with this... Have done already 7 batches of dingbats and all sorts of cuties... Even made a few charms for my kitties. I want to try some more fun stuff but its really hard to do some of the stuff... Specially when the clay gets too warm... need to leave to rest and cool... I usually put it in the freezer for a few minutes and then take it out.my cake - 3rd batch

Learn that from reading blogs and info on polymer clay... I have spend hours and hours on sites about it... Found a site where I found someone had made frosting (was going to buy PermaIce) for her donuts and asked how she made the frosting... She was nice enough to send me the info via email... I was so glad... She has a site `tooaquarius` and also found her flickr site!! She makes really nice beads and wonderful canes...

I can`t make canes to save my life...my brainy imagination at work I think I would need to do many tutorials... I tried the other night but my cane came out awful!!! I don`t think I have the technique down yet!! I love to make the cakes, got a tutorial from youtube from ebola909. There are not many tutorials on youtube on how to make things but found some really informative sites:
craft gossip
thing-a-day
how to miniature
polymer clay central
glass attic


5th batchDid some origami from tutorials from youtube... kinda fun... found other dingbats to do and made already about 7 batches... Currently, sick and not really up to doing some tutorials... Even though I want to do them and will eventually... Still wondering how you do those pillow beads???

6th batchBeing sick is not a wonderful thing.... BFG brought it into the house from the hospital! He lost his voice and sounded really weird!! Now he looks find and I'm still sick with a runny nose!!! So much yukkiness...
I haven't even seen my k-dramas... I get tired and nauseas still, so I need to lie down for a while and take it easy... Been sleeping somewhat as the nose is freaken blocked at night and prevents me from breathing... Been taking the sinus Tylenol pills and they somewhat help and use the Vick's to breath!!! Having 2 maladies at the same time is not fun!! AAAh, I want it to be over and done. Getting back to my usual self is not happening... Soon...
doing origami
Yesterday, spend a few hours on flickr looking and adding peeps onto as contacts... I looked and saw some wonderful and interesting pictures... I really liked many of the creations people have made. Got some ideas... VerdeBlue gave me inspiration for ladybugs, turtle, carrots, oranges and lollipops! I thank her... my phone charms also gave me some inspirations, like my takoyaki with an octopus on top of it, the totoro crowd... gave up on the cat and mushroom... made some spaghetti from the inspiration we had last week! I love how my plates came out!!
7th batch
Have found out that sculpey III is not a good material to use... Too brittle, I need to practice with it and then will buy the good stuff: prèmo, kato or regular fimo, not the soft fimo!!

Korean BBQBought the Korean bbq and had it frozen for a while decided to make it on the Japanese grill I brought back from Japan... That grill doesn't even exist here but its wonderful... I love my grill. These bbq ribs are boneless which is totally great and easier to eat... no bone to keep me from the flesh, yum!!

We had them 3 day in a row... they are totally amazing... I bought the sauce and marinade overnight... all I can say is JUICY, JUICY...

Found cute_ami on flickr and she does some beautiful crocheting stuff! Amazing! - Porquinhos! - she's Portuguese.. Lucky me that I know Spanish, French and Italian or else I wouldn't know what she would write! I need to get me some tutorials and buy some of the books I've seen on amazon!


I want to learn to make these! Too bad when I was in Japan, I didn't get the chance to snag me some of the crochet magz or books! Dang, maybe next time! Amigurumi [編み包み] is crocheting small cute animals, inanimate objects and any other cuteness that can be crochet or knitted!

Site where found some tutorial on how to start... called crochetme.com... Free amigurumi patterns! not so cute but still it's a start! Crafting Japanese! List of various amigurumi....

All started with reading article about Seinfeld's car accident with his vintage 67 FIAT!!! And finding out his age 53! OMFG!!!! He could be my daddy!!! Only a yr younger then my mom, dang! The ball started rolling and started to check when his show was on the air and for how long at Wikipedia [wonderful and amazing site]! That's when I started to reminisce of old shows I use to watch when I was a kid:
bewitched [ 2005 movie was made w/ Nicole Kidman n Will Ferrell which sucked!]
Alice
The Beverly Hillbillies[family from Arkansas]
little rascals
three's company
partridge family
the Brady bunch
happy days [ spin-off Laverne & Shirley]
punky Brewster
diff'rent strokes - [facts of life a spin-off]
golden girls - [ spin-off Empty nest]

Came upon a odd article that in Arkansas the law allowing even toddlers to get married has become illegal as of mid-March 2008... Age requirements are now in place [17yrs old for boys and 16 for girls]. Truly odd!

Article reading, 10 ways to get a better seat, came upon seatguru.com a site where you can check seat maps of almost every type of plane on any major airline. Good to know for traveling! There are ways of also getting good seats apparently joining frequent flyer mile programs are good if you travel a lot! OK, buying tickets early is a no brainer... i try myself to by the cheaper tickets but I ask to select my seat it will depend though if they would charge you or not, and if you are nice -.*... In some cases they won't but in others you can get if free! seat confirmation, early arrival at airport, be specific to agent to get the seat that you wish, be sure to inform agent of important issues for him/her to accommodate and last but not least, which works for me, be nice to the agent sometimes they can work miracles that you wouldn't expect!

BFG watched M.A.S.H which lated a 18yrs on TV... Seinfeld [the comedian is a year younger then my mom!] the show ran for 9yrs!

Read me some OCM!!! Feel hickey today!
