Oh my god, how did I not learn of this sooner?
Ever thought that? Yeah, me too.

...don't you love it when you see something simple, and read it completely differently? Like cuteoverload becoming cuteoverlord. DON'T KNOW HOW I DID THAT. Website I was checking out here.
I really love How To Train Your Dragon--so naturally, I love this. A lot. Yup.
Japanese writing instructor. It's good because it shows you which strokes to do first, and has the English phonetics beside it. Unfortunately, those aren't characters. Most of them are parts that you use to build up a character. I'm bad at explaining. This is what they put: * Note that these marks are not characters, but are used to modify the pronunciation of the character they are written after.
I like this one, too.
VIRTUAL KOREAN KEYBOARD. Oh god, so many hours on this thing. So then how do we work the letters? How do we know what we're saying? LIKE THIS.
So I tried flan pudding today. If you watch anime, you know what I'm talking about. Purin. The yellow thing with a caramel glaze on top that looks absolutely adorable? Or, at least, that's what it said it was. It looked like it, too, and it was mini and super cute and I found it at the Asian Supermarket, so I thought "SCORE." I tried it today. Bleck. Texture: Jello that doesn't melt. Taste: sugar. That's it, it just tasted sweet, and there was way too much vanilla in it. Not even the good vanilla. Super artificial vanilla. Smell: Over-powering vanilla perfume.
That's one of my pet peeves, by the way. Artificial flower scents. I hate them with a passion. If it's done well, whatever, I don't mind it, but I still don't particular love it. I've only encountered a few artificial flower smells I can stand, and those only in small amounts. For any of you who have tried angel food cake, it's that kind of vanilla taste and smell, only ten times stronger...(I don't like angel food cake. It's one of the few foods - CAKES - I don't eat. ) So...maybe it doesn't taste too bad, but for me, it wasn't very good at all. I don't know. I just finished eating some other foods, so maybe it affected the taste? I'm going to try some tomorrow, too...Just to make sure. It came in a package of SIXTEEN, and I don't want to waste it so...I'll try it again tomorrow. orz.
Speaking of flan....http://basilkitchen.com/flan/ I can't verify whether it's really the best recipe like it claims, but it looks and sounds legit. =) I'll give it a try and post whether or not it was good. Maybe I'm just not cut out for flan.
And after a month and a half of procrastination, I finally checked my socials provincial mark. 95% O_O WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE? Socials is, like, my worst subject. And my provincial mark was higher than my in class mark. WHAT. Math is, like, my best subject, and I got 91% on the provincial last year. -somuchconfusion-

PS: Macarons. I wanna make them

Busy-ness
What better way to relax after work than surfing the internet? None!
I came across this while randomly looking up videos of G-Dragon. (Because I love him, he's just so amazing. =]) It's called The Butterfly Dragon and it makes me want to make fanart. It's so beautiful, and I just wish it was some sort of children's book that I could give to children I might meet in the future. Just...Ah, so amazing.
AND SO IS THIS. I don't know what's with me and dragon videos today, but this was really cute. I really liked the wizard and the frog. They were so adorable!
AND THIS. IS. SO. AMAZING. IdeaStation's CF featuring BIGBANG. It's a bit blurry, but the subs are good on this one, so I like it....Wish I had one of these. =/
Ever wanted to learn Japanese? This is just so sweet. =) I like how it starts with one, two, three...Shiawaseeeee. (It's in the video, watch it!)
SMASH JOURNALS ARE JUST SO AMAZING. My friend works at a craft store, and introduced me to it. I WANT THEM ALL. I haven't even started decorated it yet, but just the ideas for it have started making me want to craft. And blog. A lot. Oh my.
PARANORMAN. Is that out yet? I really wanna see it...it just looks so amazing. Like coraline. CORALIIIIINE. <3 I should really get to watching Brave, too. I've wanted to watch it for a long time, now, but I've been too busy to get around to actually watching it.
THE HUNGER GAMES. I'm watching the movie. Like right now. And, um, I feel like I really should've finished reading all the books. Although I admit, I stopped reading because I don't really like Katniss. I like her, but I don't like the...stoicness, I suppose. I also hate her lack of affections. HRRNNNNNG. (shutupIstoppedaafterthefirstbookIdon'tknowwhathappensafter)
...
I've been writing this post over a couple of days. Partly because I'm really behind in biology, and partly because of work, but also because I am boring. Seriously, my life is boring, so my blog is going to be nothing but a bunch of rambling, but just finished watching the Hunger Games. It's so good. =D A lot better than I thought it was going to be. Gale forever. <3 My friends were all over Peeta when they read the book, and I love him, too, but I've always loved Gale. Always.
So I just realized something strange. I grew up watching Cantonese dramas (dramas from Hong Kong), and I've recently discovered that I find it weird to pick a favorite actor/actress/singer even if I know them...I mean, I love all the old actors/actresses/singers, but the new ones? I'm finding it difficult to love them. BUT, when I watch things from Japan, Korea, China (I know Hong Kong belongs to China, but it's different), and/or Taiwan, I choose favorites relatively quickly. Like BIGBANG (and G-Dragon from BIGBANG. <3), from Hana Kimi Yamamoto Yusuke and Mizushima Hiro, Nana Mizuki...Ugh, really, when I watch anything from anywhere--even just reading things online or videos from Youtube--I choose favorites. My favorites change a lot, but I choose favorites. Never have I done that for Hong Kong artists.
I don't know why. (^_^")
Have you ever watched The Fierce Wife? I don't think it's too well known (I learned about it from my parents...Fufufufufu, I'm such an old person. orz) but it's SO GOOD. I love it. My parents have only found it in Mandarin with Chinese subtitles (I don't speak Mandarin T.T) but I've managed to make sense of it with the help of some translation from my parents. The acting is so amazing! <3<3<3
WHEN DOES UTA NO PRINCE-SAMA 2 COME OUT?! IS IT OUT YET?! AND WHEN WILL HEART NO KUNI NO ALICE BE SUBBED AND RELEASED?
-As you can see, I love reverse harems. Even if I think the plot is weak, I fall in love with one character, or the songs, or the idea behind the plot (but not the plot) and I watch it until the end. It's like, my strange addiction. And I've been off it for three months. MUST HAVE REVERSE HAREM.

Jumping Geekery
If you're like me, you like spending money but you're broke most of the time. 'Tis a shame. That is why I love the internet. So many free things being shared--sure, some of them may be illegal things (like downloading music or movies), but I'm talking about things regular people made, and made to be free.
Lots of shopping sites have really awesomely cool things. Not gonna lie. Neatoshop, ThinkGeek, Etsy, and many more are really super cool. But they're expensive. Especially when you've got nothing. That's why you'll only see me post free things most of the time. Because free things make broke teenage girls happy. :3
Ever heard of VlogBrothers? No? Well, Youtube them now! If you're geeky, so much enjoyment. Vlogs between two brothers who talk about nerdy, intellectual and overall funny things. Seriously. They talk about baby Hitler and evil baby orphanages, spreading awesome, and made a musical about Tumblr with the help of AVbyte. I kid you not, click me.
And Community Channel. Oh, Natalie.
I really love Youtube.
But that aside, if you're like me, long story short, you like free things. And you like to make your own things because you won't get them otherwise. You'll also see a lot of craft sites here. Not all of them, but a lot. Say hello to my favourites!
Cut Out and Keep
Ravelry
deviantArt
WolfDreamer OTH
Nanette Crochet
Paper Kawaii
Kat's Creations
AH! Creations
GundamGirlWing's Blog
These are the ones that I'm currently totally obsessed with. They can keep you occupied for days.
Lastly, I leave you with Russian Mario figure skaters and Maru the cat jumping into a box.

MIND BLOWN
Song: Choose Me - TMDC/Nobunga/Guriri
Blog: myrollingstar.tumblr.com (SHE IS SO COOL. LUBLUBLUB)
Cartoon: Adventure Time (Mathematical!)
Random animal: Llamas
Crafting: Bendaroos
So there are a lot of epic things on the interwebs. Especially Youtube.
Seriously, Youtube is like social life online--and what I mean by that is you know when you feel disgustingly tired/depressed/unmotivated/unhappy? And, maybe, you're talking to one of your friends and they go, "Hey look: talking cats" and all of a sudden, you're cured; and BAM! You have a new obsession. Yup, Youtube has lots of people capable of doing this EVERY HOUR. If I may, I might also say that lots of Youtubers are items of obsession themselves.
So I may have been on Youtube today...er, yesterday. And I came upon Vsauce (and Vsauce2); it basically just spews all sorts of nerdy, awesome, and/or weird things. WITH LINKS. It really doesn't get better than that. Without mindless hours of surfing the web, you can just find interesting things because they did it all for you! Things that you may have never even thought about, like Llama Font. That's right. Now you can write in Llama.
And did I mention I am semi-addicted to homestuck? Seriously, Google that. I'm not very far into the whole fandom, but I love it. I should've gotten addicted to it sooner.
Who knew that deviantArt has an entire category for tutorials? Not I. Guess where I'll be the next few days? Shirking my biology homework and finding me some good instructions. (Resources and Stock Images>Tutorials, if you were wondering)
Also, J.K. Rowling release an 800 word short story on James and Sirius?! Since when?! AND IT'S FREE? Or maybe it wasn't supposed to be, but it's online now!
I just want to share what makes my day with the world. =)
PS: Bendaroo Jack Skellington. It's wicked.

Strawberries.
Hi, I'm Lin (not really). I used to blog (poorly) and thought I'd start again because I refuse to give in to tumblr. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but I don't want a tumblr. I just want to enjoy other peoples' tumblrs.
So, here I am on blogger. Trying to tumble.
It begins.
