cute tote bag

A few days ago, it was my birthday

I turned 22. It's kind of weird getting

older, I don't think of myself as 22...more like around 18. Here is a birthday

present I got from my uncle, isn't it cute?

I have been looking for a good tote bag lately, so this was very nice. The

inside is so soft, and it has inside pockets too

About Me

Joined

Toybox

I'm a 22 year old girl who is currently a student trying to get into nursing school. I have a calico kitty named Mike

(pronounced meekeh, a popular name for calico cats in Japan), whom I love very much, although she can be very mean!

I am a very friendly, but quiet, person, and I am always open-minded about learning new things and about different

cultures. For about 6 years, I have been studying Japanese which you could say is one of my past times. I have actually

lived in Japan and gone to high school and college for 3 semesters for a total of about a year. I currently live with my

parents, brother, and my uncle.

Some of my hobbies are: web design, making stuffed animals,cooking, pixeling, and of course, studying Japanese.

Favorite color: pink, all pastel colors

Favorite food: sushi, cold sandwiches, cucumbers and sweets

Favorite music: J-pop. Especially Ai Otsuka, ,EXILE,GreeeeN,Utada Hikaru,Rie Tanaka,Hanako Oku,Home Made

Kazoku and more : D I also enjoy J-trance, and anime music. Other than Japanese music, I like Daft Punk, 80's music,

and 90's dance music

Favorite anime/manga: Azumanga Daioh, Lucky Star, Di Gi Charat, Pita Ten ( I love all of Koge Donbo's work!)

Favorite Japanese doramas(drama): LIFE, Daisuki!, 1 Litre of Tears (very sad..), 14 Sai no Haha, Akai Ito, Koizora

Favorite games: I love my Nintendo DS! I like to play, Harvest Moon, Pokemon Soul Silver, Taiko no Tatsujin, Pop n'

Music, Sims 2, Katamari Damacy, and the MMORPG, Mabinogi

Favorite movies: Lost in Translation, all of the Studio Ghibli(Hayao Miyazaki) films, especially Tonari no Totoro

Current obsession: anything kawaii/Japanese, kao ani, cute pixels, San-X(tarepanda!), Q-Lia, and of course, JAPAN~

Likes/Dislikes: I love anybody who is sweet, kind, and understanding of other people's feelings. A gentle, fun-loving

personality is something I admire. A judgemental and insensitive trait is one that ticks me off. I also HATE racism and

ignorance. As for other things, I don't like tomatoes, tofu, and I basically can't eat grapefruit! I also dislike most

actresses/singers(britney spears, disney channel stars,etc.) because they set a bad example for young girls, making

them think they have to look a certain way to be accepted.

Chocolate Cornet

Here is how to make a chocolate cornet as seen on the anime, Lucky Star They are so good and I recommend you try them!

INGREDIENTS:
Photobucket

2 egg whites
½ cup sugar
1/3 cup sifted flour
3 tablespoon butter, melted and cooled

For the cream filling:

1 ¼ cups whole milk
2 oz. semi-sweet, melted
3 egg yolks
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

PREPARATION:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Beat the egg whites til stiff, sprinkle

the sugar over them and fold over gently. Fold in the flour and the butter in the same way. Butter and flour a baking sheet, then heat it up in your pre-heated oven. Drop

the batter onto the hot baking sheet by tablespoons and spread thinly. Bake for about 3 minutes, and the wafers are

gently golden. Be careful not to burn yourself! Quickly take the wafers from the sheet with a spatula, and while still

warm, roll into cones. If they cool too quickly and become brittle, return them to the oven briefly. Fill with cream filling,

let them cool and enjoy!

Cream filling:

In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until it is just hot enough to steam. While the milk is warming, whisk

together the egg yolks, sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and cornstarch until the mixture is completely smooth. Once the milk

is steaming, add the melted chocolate to it and whisk until it is fully incorporated into the milk. Add half of the chocolate

milk, whisking constantly, to the egg mixture. Add the milk and eggs back into the hot milk, continue stirring, and heat it

for 1-2 minutes, until the custard reaches 170F on a digital thermometer and is very thick. Remove from the heat, stir in

the vanilla extract, and chill before filling pastry. This chocolate pastry cream recipe makes approximately 2 cups

flavored cream.

About my site

After having studied and practiced HTML over the past 6-7 years, I have finally created Harmony Dreams! I hope to

learn a lot more about web design, and improve my site. Although I don't have much on my site right now, of course I

plan to add more as I come up with ideas. While thinking of what to call my site,I wanted to name it something that would

give visitors peaceful thoughts. Finally, "Harmony Dreams" came to mind. I started this site because of my desire to

show my love for everything Japan to the world!
