of wrong spelling, grammar and definition

"Eat" bugs me every time I see people update their status on fezbook and they don't even bother to check their spelling? Dropped letters, typos and gay slang are okay but it bugs me when people do not even bother how to spell a word.

Eat and It are 2 different words, I feel bad for saying anything to people who are not close to me, but when they are I let them "knows", which brings me to my next topic.

Using wrong grammar makes me cringe and want to scratch my eyes out, especially when they have it in every sentence of their post. One can be excused only if they changed something mid-sentence and they forgot to remove some words.

"Selfie" according to the urban dictionary is "A strange phenomenon in which the photographer is also the subject of the photograph, in a subversive twist on the traditional understanding of the photograph. Usually conducted because the subject cannot locate a suitable photographer to take the photo, like a friend." Why then do I keep on seeing people describe their picture as a selfie when it's clear that someone else was taking the picture. Smh

Song for the day 05/18/13

Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them

Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh, oh
Things you never say to me, oh, oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
(Oh, we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind
(Yeah, but this is happenin')

You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh, oh
You used to lie so close to me, oh, oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oh, our love, our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I never stopped
You're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Oh, tear ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust
But our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, oh, that we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Les mis 2013 review

Les mis review

I always loved les miserables, the musical, especially when our very own Lea Salonga played Eponine. I never watched the musical, though I've always wanted to. I saw the 1998 movie and I liked it, Javert was very hateful in that movie, and I loved how they made it.

Now the new movie has a lot of good elements in it too, graphics and such but it failed to capture my attention, except when Amanda Seyfried started singing, and this is suppposed to be Les Mis, my favorite musical.

Ok so this my opinion and I don't care if you love this movie and want to start an all out les mis shootout hehehe...

Anne Hathaway was just not doing it for me, in the first scene she was too clean, nice and pink, for someone to be working in a sweatshop, when they shaved her head she wasn't appealing enough to be one of the lovely ladies. Did she deserve to win that award? No. I think other actresses who played more expressive roles should have won.

Rusell Crowe with his monotone speak singing was just booooring, he bored me to death.

Hugh Jackman was awesome though, not only because I love him but his face was very expressive.

Amanda Seyfried was the shocker, omg that girl can freaking sing. Wow!

Marius had a nice voice. He was ok

Sasha Baron Cohen was very good as master of the house. He had a good singing voice and was very effective in making you hate him.

Helena Bonham Carter was awesome as the innkeepers wife. Very good singing voice. I loved it when she was playing as a beggar on the street. A very good actress.

05/05/2013 Book Review

***Spoiler Alert***

Unravel Me - Tahereh Mafi

Worst second book ever. I hate it. I feel her longing to be touched and all that but really, with the guy who wanted to control you and make you kill other people. bleaaaachhhkkkkk. I still want to see her to be with broken Adam not with broken Warner. I hate the "I love him but I think I love you too" crap they always have in this love triangle books. 

Perks of Being a Wallflower - Steven Chbosky

I loved the movie, I loved the book. I love Charlie and how nice he is. He is awkward, lonely and broken but he still makes time to make everyone around him feel special and loved. I watched the movie before I read the book and I kept on waiting which chapter they are going to talk about what the horrible aunt did but they never did which I thought was thoughtful, it's not something I want to imagine and think about, it was just implied, I thought it was a book that was very well written. I love it.

Fire Within - Chris D'Lacey

I liked the story about the squirrel and the dragon but the thing that irked me about this book is that everytime the kid squealed, she would squeal "Hhhhh", how do you squeal Hhhhhh anyway... hmmm..

Cookie Addiction =)

Brown Butter Sea Salt Cookies

Cook Time:   15 minutes

Total Time:    an hour

Yields:          3 dozen

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter

1/2 C lightly packed brown sugar

1 tea vanilla

1 1/2 C flour

1 tea baking soda

Sea Salt for sprinkling (preferably fleur de sel)

optional - chocolate chips for dipping

DIRECTIONS

- Preheat oven to 325°

- Line cookie sheet with a silpat or parchment paper

- In a sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter until it starts to caramelize. It should smell nutty and you will see brown bits at the bottom of the pan. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN - in which case you will have to start over.

- Pour brown butter into a medium bowl and stir in brown sugar and vanilla. In a small bowl whisk together flour and baking soda and add mixture to the butter and sugar. Let cool to room temperature.

- Roll cookies into balls the size of lg marbles and sprinkle with sea salt and press lightly into tops of cookies.

- Bake 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Don’t overcook, or they will be very dry and crumbly.

- If desired, melt chocolate and dip bottoms of cookies into the chocolate after they have cooled.

NOTES from tastebook

We searched this recipe after getting the original cookies from Kelly Ross. She got them from a friend in California, from the Brown Butter Cookie Company in Cayucos, CA. They are $12.95 for a dozen... and we thought we could do better.. and we have.

Lately I've been miserable.. most specially at work... small things have begun to bug me, people and their attitudes started to get to me and it came to a point that I just didn't want to be there... I've never felt this way before, I dread waking up each morning because that meant I had to go to work. I would make up any excuse at night just to extend it, make me very tired so I can sleep and just forget I have work tomorrow.. It was that bad...

Then I watched perks of being a wallflower and loved it, so now I'm reading the book and I'm loving it more, there was one word that caught my attention in the book and the movie, it said PARTICIPATE.

I felt so sad and miserable at work I forgot how to participate, all I want to do these days is stay at home, lay down and play with my violin, at least that makes me feel inspired that I can do something new....

Maybe it had something to do with my birthday too, I'm not sure but I've always been sad around my birthday, it was horrible, I had five years with this guy and he would always forget about my birthday, despite me planning events or things to do on my birthday, he would either schedule his car to be fixed or spend time with his friends on my birthday...and this happened every year... it scarred me a lot.. I know I had friends and family, but it made me sad that that one person I counted on to be happy with me wanted to be happy with his car...

But of course my story doesn't end there, thankfully. These past few years I spent with my husband has been wonderful we have one grand celebration for both our birthdays because they're so close together. One year we went to Utah to snowboard, last year we had a party at our apt, this year we went to Morro Bay, got scolded by a huge Sea Lion and had fun.

But this is not why I'm writing this. I love to ride my bike and go biking with Mike during warm days but because I've been focusing on being miserable we haven't been participating. Thanks to Madeline for reminding me that Ciclavia was last Sunday, I've heard about it but they never came to Culver City before, carting the bikes around is a bit of a hassle when there are no parking spaces, and its usually a hassle to go to downtown LA. But this time around they would pass by our neighborhood to go to the beach, yay! We've done this bike ride before but its not easy when people with their cars want to take the opportunity to tell you how you're being an inconvenience using the bike lane by trying swipe you whenever they can. This time they closed one side of Venice just for bikers, yay!

The photo bug in me was screaming... let me out, let me take pictures.. but I decided I wanted to participate instead, maybe next year we'll start out early so I can take pictures. Or like what the others were doing I have to learn how to ride my bike with no hands and use it for my camera.

This is how I'm going to participate, bike my way though every event, if I can hehehe... though I have events like Color me Rad and the Train concert scheduled in the near future, I want more.

I think this is the year we try all the things we want to do, Mike has started his RC Heli projects and he's happy with them, I'm learning the violin and if I suck at it then I can say at least I tried to learn it, but so far my teacher says she's happy with my progress, I'm just happy I don't scare the cat nyahahaha...

Ok so I will start this blog again and show my participation, I know its the other way around, less blog, more participation but I realize now while writing this that I may have participated more that I thought I had, I was just focused on moping around like the cat. Writing helps me remember the happy times. It takes my mind away from people who want to ruin my day.
