Today I am also thinking ...

Where was I when Wrigleys invented Blueberry flavour for their Extra brand? When I saw it, of course I had to buy it!

And so far, I have been impressed. Its packaging is purple, which is my favourite colour. It says that it helps to keep teeth and gums healthy. It is a 14-piece pack, and the pieces are individually wrapped, kept neatly in the envelope, just waiting to be eaten. The wrapping paper on each stick has cute cartoons on it [Kawaii!]. The gum is lilac in colour. The envelope is a thick card, and is easily re-sealable. It smells exactly like the Blueberry Pie I baked, no kidding.

Going to try it now ...

Quite a strong flavour there, but it's easily noticeable as blueberries. I like. But I recommend it only if you like blueberries. This is a I'll-eat-it-once-in-a-while kinda gum for me. Like the Green Apple. The dairy owner said it's really fast selling. Well, I suppose she'd say it, as she was selling it to me. But I bought it [pun intended].

Today I am thinking ...

Bus drivers are crazy beings. Honestly. Today, as I was getting home from uni, this bus [not mine] pulled up in front of me. All was going good, till a girl who was about to get on had the doors shut in her face. The bus driver stared the other way and pulled the bus out of the bus lane. She was left standing there, feebly waving at him to open the door. I mean, what is that all about?! And this is a bus that comes at an interval of every half an hour.

Has something like this ever happened to you?

Story of my life.

Once upon a time, there was a Graphic Design student. She had drawn a whole heap of whimsical characters, all emo, all cute. She then went on to design a lovely campaign for them, ranging from stickers and bracelets to terrible flavoured lollipops, and even a book!

Normally very good with computer file organising, she accidentally made multiple files for this assignment. Of course, she only updated one of these files.

Everyone at her exhibition loved her campaign.

She then went on to delete the most updated folder.

And then she emptied her trash.

And now, all she has is half-finished work.

M. E. A. H. S. for Stephanie

Hey everyone. Today's upload is for a fellow blogger, Stephanie. She regularly comments on my blog, and as a special thanks for reading my blog, I've created a poster for her and her besties, the M. E. A. H. S.

Hope you like it, Stephanie! Let me know if M. E. A. H. liked it as well, okay? Oh, and let me know if it's getting pixelated, and if it is, I'll post a pdf version.

Kawaii

Kawaii means "cute" in Japanese. If you look around, most Japanese artwork is pretty cute [although sometimes I think it is overdone]. Wikipedia also mentions that since the 1970s, kawaii has become a prominent aspect of Japanese culture, entertainment, clothing, food, toys, personal appearance, behaviour and mannerisms. It goes on to mention how the western culture sometimes sees it as juvenile or frivolous [in places such as government publications, offices, military adverts, etc.], which sort of backs up the point I made earlier about it being overdone.

Anyways, I am not here to point out the negatives. Today, I'd like to start with some cartoons that come under the Kawaii umbrella.

Everyone knows who this is. Hello Kitty has gathered a cult following. [I wonder if anyone saw that episode on Tyra when we were shown this woman's Hello Kitty-filled house? That was an interesting episode. Anyways, I'm digressing here.]

Pikachu! Isn't he cute?

And, last but definitely not the least, Miffy. Miffy's designed by a Dutch illustrator called Richard Bruna. But she's still Kawaii, isn't she?

Ten Things About Me.

When I read my fellow blogger Stephanie's blog, she'd nicely stated ten things about her there. Which made me realise, I hadn't really done that. Hadn't really introduced myself.

So, here are ten random things about me:

1.) I wanted to be an astronaut when I was younger.

2.) I have green eyes.

3.) I could eat just chocolate for an entire month.

4.) I really like tomato-flavoured popcorn.

5.) I really like the smell of lemons. Actually, it's my most favourite smell.

6.) I am a stickler for proper spelling.

7.) I am in my first year of Bachelor in Graphic Design.

8.) I am really good at Scooby-Doo Unmasked on Nintendo DS Lite. As in, really, really good.

9.) I am obsessed with Harry Potter [who isn't?] and the Lord of the Rings movies.

10.) I really like writing this blog, but more than that, I like reading your comments.

So go comment! Tell me who you are. How you found this blog, etc. We can be blog-buddies.

Awesomeness Part Two

It's been a long time since I posted Awesomeness Part One. Since then, I've seen so many cool things that I thought I'd post them first [Kawaii being posted tomorrow!]. But, finally, here it is. Awesomeness Part Two. In its special glory.

How many times have you really said "delete it" instead of "bin it"? Come, now. It's definitely happened to me. And I'd like to dedicate the below Awesomeness to all who've said it.

Dharma Chair. Awesome. I know. [That's why it's here!]

...

Gandhali is devouring a Cadbury Dairy Milk. Mmm. I am such a chocoholic!

... oh no! It's all gone! The fairies must've gobbled it all from me! :(

Cuteness.

Do we need any more cuteness in our life? Look at this:

I really like the Oreo ring!

All of this is available at TuckShop's Etsy shop.

50th!

Yep, peoples, this is my 50th post. Hurrah!

Have a great day, wherever you are!

Miffy image copyright whoever owns it. It's certainly not mine!

p.s.: If you like Kawaii, don't forget to peek back in this week. I'm going to be uploading some serious cuteness.
