Hello~ みんな元気ですか？
Christmas is already around the corner and the year 2011 is almost over, gosh the time passes by fast! as you might noticed I have been getting lazy in taking a real photos with my DSLR,,, its sitting in the corner dusting away.. :sigh: =__=;;
but yes the iPhone comes in handy most of the time and I do get lazy in grabbing the dslr but one of my new years resolutions will be "get back into photography!" so please be patient with me, I blame the cold temperature makes me not wanna do anything... lol ^^;;
OH I will be going on a much needed mini vacation this weekend starting tomorrow to Chicago!! really excited found a kaiten zushi *conveyor belt sushi* place!! If you have any suggestions on cool places to visit in Chicago please let me know!
Here is another weekly iPhone diary~

| My first ever real Fraser fir christmas tree~ |

 |
| random doodle... I need to pick up my pencil and draw more often, I forget how fun it is to draw n_n |
 |
| Zach's crazy obsession: Vitamix |
 |
| we decided to finally get the Vitamix after many debate on why he needed it... me: " why does a stupid blender cost so much,, its just a blender!!.. o_0" his excuse: " you came make just about anything, it has 7 year warrenty and also we can be more healthy with having this" guys logic lol |
 |
| Gross green drink zach made.... ~D; Zach" its really good!! try it!" |
 |
| decided to make my favorite dish: Oden! Its a winter dish Japanese people love to eat during cold seasons~ :D~ |

oden oishisou :D (yodarega detekuru haha) Cute xmas tree btw!
ReplyDeleteWhich app did you use for the photo collage for the first picture?
ReplyDeleteMISSHAってカタツムリので有名ですよね！なんであれって夜しか使ってはいけないのですか？
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! YOur christmas tree looks beautiful!
ReplyDeletecan't believe your "random doodle" looks like that! it's really pretty.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was in Chicago while you were visiting! I'd love to meet you for boba or something. anyway, the bf is lives there, so if you're looking for specific kinds of places (good restaurants and such), let me know~
That is a very beautiful drawing~! Inspirational! You're defintely right though; being an art student myself, it's been way too long since I've drawn... But sometimes I have no motivation if I'm drawing badly during that time XD
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your slice of life - I really enjoy these posts! Your drawing and creative skills are amazing!
ReplyDeleteomg why can't I buy cafe latte kit kat in Denmark? : ( sucks. we only got the original one.
ReplyDeleteand omg your tree! I want! my mom smashed all our decorations for our tree this year by accident... so... pretty boring tree so far haha
your drawing skill is amazing! :D
ReplyDeleteYour
ReplyDeleteYour tree is soooo cute!! And wow at the drawing and all the yummy looking foods! xD
ReplyDeleteYou are such an artist! Love the drawing ^^
ReplyDeleteehhhh... your christmas tree is so.... christmasey XD so festive and so cute! <3
Cute photos! ^^
ReplyDeletewould love the recipe for that dish looks soo yummy!! you are my first go to blog when i get online :)
ReplyDeleteIf you're feeling guilty about cutting down a tree for the holiday and you have land on which to plant you could try one of the trees that comes ready to be planted when you're done with it.
ReplyDeleteI want to eat all your candy. ^^
ReplyDeleteI think it's perfectly acceptable to blame the weather to not take out your dlsr. I have the same excuse! haha
ReplyDeleteI love that you included lollipops and candy canes on your tree, looks so cute!
D'aww your christmas tree is so cute! I love the way you decorated it! ^__^
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for your next post c:Stay warm <3
The package from Japan is awesome!! XD
ReplyDeleteHehe my friend recently bought a Vitamix, some ppl were at a food festival we recently we too and it look so awesome. We got to try some of things they made, hot soup, ice cream and smoothie but I agree is so expensive but I guess a great investment if you will make use of it :D
Hope you are well Eki, haven't spoken to you for ages xxx
Follow me..i'm new to the blogging world.. I do "Happie nuts" mag scans! & everything in between! i love eki!
ReplyDeleteWow you are so good at drawing!! :D And I'm loving all the photos ^o^
ReplyDeleteIt really is amazing how fast this year has gone by... & I actually envy you guys your cold weather, haha! It just doesn't feel like Christmas when it's 63 degrees & I'm wearing spring lounge wear XD
ReplyDeleteYour tree is lovely though~ I love the candy theme, & omg your hair!! SO JELLY ♥
I love my vitamix; i had no idea you were such an artist. i envy that, haha, b/c i have some work to do myself. anyway, the vitamix is really the only thing to get the job done, in my case.
ReplyDeleteA Vitamix is a great investment, you really can make practically anything in it - MG likes to make green smoothies (apple banana orange berries pineapple etc., almond milk and a few raw collard greens) and I love making fresh salsa with ours :) you can make soups and purees, and ice cream...even your own peanut butter or almond/soy milk! also works as a mixer if you like baking - just pour all the ingredients for your batter in and mix :)
ReplyDeleteI love the package :)
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas tree is so cute!! Love the candy decorations! The oden and candy looks so delicioussss!
ReplyDeleteEki! Can you please please share the recipe for Oden in a blog post or something? Would absolutely LOVE to try it out especially during the cold weather too! TIA! ^^
ReplyDeletei love your hair so much <3 and awesome christmas tree!!!
ReplyDeleteSo many things I love in this post Eki! I love the tree, it's gorgeous. I want to do a theme like that next year! I have wanted to get the little bead chain decorations for a while but my sisters think they look tacky...but I am arming myself with a picture of your tree to prove that this is not true! Love your iphone pics and that package is heaven!!
ReplyDeleteEki, you should do a big post on your favourite Japanese food!
