Cookies

So my friend recommended that I'd write a random post today. Strangely enough, the first thing that popped into my head when I saw "random" on my screen was to babble on about my toenails. I mean, how can it get more random than that? But after a few minutes of thinking, I figured that would be a pretty short post, so I decided against that idea. I started scanning my room for inspiration, enumerating anything and everything in sight (I even considered 'water bottle', 'scissors', 'giraffe', and 'cupcake' to name a few.) and ended up choosing cookies. Yay! ^.^

Cookies. There are many varieties of cookies, as most people are already aware. Chocolate chip, oatmeal, butter, sugar, and more. They're kinda like the pizza of desserts, with all the different toppings and recipes to choose from. My love for cookies actually shows in my blog's background, which features Cookie Monster from Sesame Street. Even my header screams SHE LIKES COOKIES. So if you don't get that, I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Lately, one of my friends started selling oatmeal and cinnamon cookies around school every Monday. Whenever I see him, I'd run towards him screaming "cookies!". At that time, I wouldn't care even if I had little to no money left, I would buy at least one. Since I always buy from him, I get them at discounted prices too! Sooo, more cookies for me. :D

I don't know why I love cookies so much. I just do. I mean, who doesn't love a good cookie? I would probably survive even if I had to live on just cookies and milk (but I'd have a better chance of getting diabetes that way). And speaking of milk, doesn't it go great with cookies? Dunk a cookie in a glass of milk for a seconds and when you take a bite, it's so soft, all soaked in dairy goodness. The only downside is if you leave the cookie in the milk a little too long. It ends up crumbling into the glass and you'll have to take a while to fish the cookie bits out. But they still taste good all the same. 

Oooh, all this talk of cookies is getting me hungry. I guess it's time for me to start rummaging through my cupboards for some cookies to munch. So I'll leave this post with an apology for being a little too random and making no sense. I just hope that my post has also awaken the cookie monster in you. :)

Nice Nails: Halloween

This was the result of me not being able to choose just one design. So what I have is a Jack-o-Lantern, a ghost, Frankenstein's wife, Frankenstein, and a bloody finger. The Jack-o-Lantern, ghost, and Frankenstein were fails, but I like how the wife and bloody finger came out.

For the Jack-o-Lantern, I started off with a coat of orange polish. I used a green art pen for the part at the top, then a toothpick dipped in black polish for the face. Pretty simple, but my hands were a little shaky with the mouth.

For the ghost, it's just a white base with 3 black dots using an art pen. The polish smudged a bit, so the eyes weren't even. Another fail.

For Frankenstein's wife, I started off with some black matte polish as the base. When that dried, I painted half of it with some white polish then let that dry to. After some time, I dipped a toothpick in some black polish for the eyes, then I used the same toothpick and dipped it in red polish for the lips. Using the same toothpick gave me a hint of black polish in the lips, which turned out pretty good. I finished it off by using a white art pen for the two squiggly stripes in her hair. :)

For Frankenstein, I used a lime green base coat. Then I followed up with the hair, scar, and mouth, all done using a black art pen. I made two white dots using an art pen for the eyes, then finished it off with a couple of black dots using a toothpick. I think I put a little too much hair and scar, which made the face a little uneven.

Lastly, I used some red polish for the bloody finger. This was the easiest to do actually. I just couldn't think of any other Halloween character, so i settled for this simple design, which turned out pretty good. :D

LSS: I Am

I've had a month long hiatus, so I'm apologizing to my readers (if I have any). That's the longest I've gone without blogging since I made this. So I guess it's time to make up for it. It's just that I've been so busy lately. Oh well.

On my way back to Manila earlier, I had my earphones plugged into my ears the entire bus ride. I woke up after an hour and this song played on my iPod. I listened to the lyrics intently and thought that each and every line fitted me perfectly. So I decided to myself that I'd blog about it.

Alright, I'm not entirely sure if this song is for those that are bipolar or what, but it sure sounds like it. It just sounds like someone who's confused about herself and figured that the best way to describe herself would be to call herself "special". She obviously took the positive path, and I think that was a great idea. During the stanzas, I kept on agreeing with what she said about herself, so when it came to the chorus, I couldn't say no. 

All in all, I figured that this song is pretty inspirational for those who don't know who they are in this world. :)

I Am - Hillary Duff Lyrics

I'm an angel, I'm a devil
I am sometimes in between
I'm as bad it can get
And good as it can be
Sometimes I'm a million colors
Sometimes I'm black and white
I am all extremes
Try to figure me out you never can
There's so many things I am

I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am

I'm someone filled with self-belief
And haunted by self-doubt
I've got all the answers
I've got nothing figured out
I like to be by myself
I hate to be alone
I'm up and I am down
But that's part of the thrill
Part of the plan
Part of all of the things I am

I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am

I'm a million contradictions
Sometimes I make no sense
Sometimes I'm perfect
Sometimes I'm a mess
Sometimes I'm not sure who I am

I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am

I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am
Of all the things I am
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am
Of all the things I am
