Ten on Tuesday

Posted in Lists, Ten on Tuesday by

1. What was/is your favorite live action (meaning not animated) kids movie?

I want to say that it was Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I think I watched it because it was 1/2 cartoon, 1/2 live action. I remember my mom covering my eyes at the end when the bad guy died. When I watched it a second time on my own, I didn’t think it was that bad.

2. What is a bad habit you have? Are you working on breaking it?

Laziness. I try to break it, but it’s hard. I’ve kind of grown up with being lazy. Did you know that the first time I ever mowed a lawn was last year? Yeah. I’m laaaaazy.

3. Describe your father in 3 words.

Chinese, random, amazing.

4. Which character in the Breakfast Club were you most like in the ’80s?

Was there a 1-5 year old in that movie, because that’s how old I was throughout the 80’s. But, if the 80’s were now, I’d say that I would be that geeky kid.

5. Name 5 songs you know ALL the lyrics to.

“Wanna Be” by the Spice Girls, “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga, “See You Again” by Miley Cyrus, “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz and “The Safety Dance” by Men Without Hats. Don’t judge me.

6. Do you make pancakes from scratch or a box mix?

We’re big fans of Aunt Jemina’s recipe.

7. What was your worst job ever? Why?

I haven’t had any horrible jobs! Why? Because I’m incredibly selective and picky with where I want to work.

8. What was your favourite class in high school?

P.E. or Cooking.

9. Favourite summer guilty pleasure?

Reading for hours in the sunshine.

10. Please share your best money saving tip!

Give yourself an allowance out of your paycheck and hide your credit or debit cards, then only pay for what you have to (rent, gas, bills, etc.) When I was strapped for cash that’s what I did and it worked amazingly.

Home Is

I’ve been rather stressed lately, dealing with some personal issues at home, so I got this from Nicole over at BusyGirl :) If you haven’t already, you should go check her out.

A- My AIR CONDITIONER is set on: 18°C. In my bedroom only. It is FREEZING in there and I love it. No more miserable summers!

B- My BEDROOM theme is: There is no theme. The walls are white, the comforter is beige and my curtains are gray-ish brown and are too big. I guess “A Mess” is the theme of my bedroom.

C- The CAR in the garage is: None existent. We don’t have cars in our garage, just boxes upon boxes of stuff. We do have a Ford F150 and a Ford Focus in the driveway though.

D- My DESK looks: Neat and tidy, just the way I like it!

E- The EXACT time I wake up daily is: 8:45 a.m. is when my alarm goes off.

F- The FIRST thing I wash in the shower is: My hair. Always!

G- My GARAGE is filled with: Boxes of junk, other people’s boxes of junk, tools, seasonal tools, empty bottles. The usual!

H- My HOME is: Not even mine.

I- If you peeked INSIDE my bathroom you’d see: The toilet. Srsly. It’s right there by the door and it’s probably the first thing you’d see if the door was ajar. If not, it would be the window.

J- My favorite JUICE is: Sunripe Mango Pear juice. Sooo good :)

K- The best part of my KITCHEN is: My counter top appliances, minus the stupid microwave/toaster combo. You can’t toast while microwaving! Multitasking fail.

L- The LAST person who visited my home was: The Roommate’s girlfriend (aka C!) I suppose. Or my dad.

M- The last piece of MAIL for me was: My Cosmo magazine! I think I’m too deep in a relationship for any of their crazy advice, but it’s hilarious to read.

N- My NEIGHBOURS think I’m: A crazy Asian driver. Or deaf since my music in my car is too loud. I don’t actually talk to my neighbours.

O- If you OPENED my fridge you’d see: Milk, salad dressing, leftovers, veggies. We eat relatively healthy for three 20-somethings!

P- My last house PARTY was: Probably Kyle’s birthday back in February.

Q- A QUICK meal I like to fix is: Potstickers and Rice. Can’t go wrong with it since it’s a favourite.

R- My favorite ROOM of the house is: Now that I have an air conditioner in it, my bedroom.

S- The SHAMPOO brand I use is: Dove. I used to have the Cool Moisture shampoo & conditioner, but I changed it up to Beautiful Care. (Or at least I think that’s what it’s called)

T- My largest TELEVISION is: I have no idea how big our TV is. I think it’s a 38″? Maybe bigger?

U- UNDER my bed you will find: A lot of doggy hair tumbleweeds and some random empty boxes.

V- The last time I VACUUMED was: Last Friday.

W- Looking out my WINDOW I see: Out front: The neighbours across the street. Out back: Costco.

X- I wish I had X-TRA: Money because I’d buy my own house.

Y- My YARD is: Good enough for my two doggies.

Z- ZZZZZZZ My bedtime is: 11pm usually, unless there’s something really good on TV.

Happy Thursday! The weekend is almost here :)

Ten on Tuesday

Posted in Lists, Photos, Ten on Tuesday by

1. If you could trade lives with another blogger for a day, who would it be and why?

I really don’t think I can pick one, because they’re all so unbelievably freaking awesome. I’ll do a rotation of all my favourites.

2. Do you prefer receiving handmade or store bought gifts? Be honest!

Handmade gifts have more thought put into them, but sometimes I think to myself, “Cute, but what the hell am I going to do with this!?”

3. Would you rather camp or stay in a hotel?

I love both, but I think if it were for a long period of time (like more than one night) I’d say hotel! Personal hygiene always wins.

4. What’s your favourite comfort food?

Macaroni & Cheese, hands down.

5. You’re having a really bad day at work. How do you unwind when you come home?

I ask Kyle for a big hug and then I pour myself a drink. Horrible, but sometimes a big Caesar is all I need!

6. What’s your favourite chore? (Or, the chore you hate the least)

Laundry, minus the putting away part. At least I can toss it in the machine and forget about for an hour before I actually have to do something about it!

7. What got you interested in blogging?

The first time I started blogging it was to get out of a written project for one of my university courses. Now, it’s just to let my thoughts and randomness flow.

8. Are you currently reading a book? What is it?

I’m in between books at the moment but I just bought Hope in a Jar by Beth Harbison and I’ll eventually get around to reading it.

9. Do you have a favourite artist?

Oh, you have to be more specific than that! Musical artist? Visual artist? I’m just going to answer “No”, purely just because I have certain tastes as opposed to artist preferences.

10. Have you ever met someone famous?

This would probably mean nothing to most of you, but I’ve met Kenny Florian of UFC fame. That was pretty awesome. I’ve also met Lorne Cardinal from Corner Gas. (If you’re Canadian and don’t know about this show, get out of the country)

Happy Tuesday, and Happy Birthday to my little brother!

We're too cool for school!
