Day at Disneyland

Hello!
So last week, I said that it would be really great if I could post two days later, which was last Sunday. Unfortunately  I couldn't but I'm going to post what I couldn't post earlier now (...that was kind of confusing... O___O)
Anyways, last Saturday, I went to Disneyland!!! >.< This was really exciting for me because the last time I went to Disneyland was when I was a little kid and couldn't remember any of it. Also, I don't usually go to amusement parks, and I went with a bunch of friends this time ^^

Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse statue at the end of Main Street

First, I want to tell you to not expect much from my trip (it was pretty plain, honestly). Also, I tried to get a lot of photos (trust me, I tried), but I forgot a lot of times... whoops? :P

So, my day started off with waiting... -_- Yeah, waiting. My friends and I didn't get on the same tram. When I first went through the security check, the line was short, but I guess that for them, it took a really long while. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to wait for an hour and thirty minutes. (Do you know how scary it is to be a loner at Disneyland!!!?? :'( )
At 10:00 am, while I was waiting, a band came out, along with a bunch of employees dressed as a bunch of Disney Characters, such as Belle, the Mad Hatter, Mary Poppins, and Alice. Here are some pictures:

 

 

Soon after the show ended, my friend arrived! ^^ Then, we ditched the others (cause we wanted to travel with just the two of us) :P. We walked through main street to Fantasyland, and we decided to go on this ride first:

After the ride, we questioned why we rode it first and why we even rode it... O___O Then, we went to eat some burgers for an early lunch (gosh, food at Disneyland is really expensive -__-)
We walked through Fronteirland and passed Thunder Mountain, which was being fixed. There, we tried to shoot targets with fake rifles at the shooting range. I learned that fake rifles are really, really heavy and that I'm a pretty decent shooter :)
Later, we rode a raft by New Orleans and America's Rivers and explored the little island that has something to do with Pirates of the Carribean.

 

After that, we went through Mickey's Toontown and got cotten candy (sorry, no pictures of the food because it was really sticky :P)

My friend mentioned seeing an ice cream shop on Main Street, so we headed back because I wanted some. But, by the time we got there, it was noon, really hot, and the line was extremely long. So, we decided to settle for some frozen lemonade. We spent the next half an hour sitting on a bench eating our dessert.

"...popcorn..." :o

So many people!!! >.<

Next, we went to ride Autopia (thank god we got fast passes, otherwise we wouldn't waited there for hours). We didn't finish our lemonade yet, so we hid it in our bags.

I found out that I suck at driving...really suck.

After that, we sat at a bench in front of this huge marble ball and ate more of our frozen lemonade. Then, we went into the Innovation Center (I call it the Science Museum). It was really cool!!! >.< They had lots of new technology, like holograms, and a bunch of games , like Kinect Fruit Ninja!!!! KINECT FRUIT NINJA!!! There was also an Iron Man Exhibit, which I'm pretty sure I saw in a Wong Fu Weekend video recently...(Phil and Wes go to Hong Kong; go check it out >.>)

"Popcorn!!! ~<3" XD

...the ball was really convenient for washing my hands O___O (yeah, I know that's gross)

I finished the rest of my lemonade in there. When we got out, my friend and I decided to buy more food; I got some popcorn and she got a churro. We walked to Main Street again just in time for the parade (we had no idea about it though)

 

It's Mary Poppins again!!!

After that, we basically loitered around. The lines for everything were really long, and the both of us were too lazy to wait -n- We wanted to go on Space Mountain but the wait in line was over an hour long and getting fastpasses would mean that you would have to wait until 8:00 at night! I guess that was kind of predictable though. We probably should have gotten on it first thing in the morning.
Then, we went back into the Innovation center and played Fruit Ninja for another hour or two >.< I really suck at it, so it was pretty fun to just watch my friend play (she's really good). Around 6:00, the friends that we ditched in the morning invited us to eat dinner together at Red Rocket's (a spaghetti and pizza place). We were already going to eat there so we accepted. It was really fun to see them all again (Strangely, while we were traveling, we didn't bump into anyone that we knew)
We ate some dinner, and then we all decided to ride the Buzz Lightyear ride. It was my first time, and I think that Level 3 is pretty good.
When we were about to leave, I decided to go buy a souvenier for my brother and I. I didn't really have a lot of time left, so I entered the nearest store, the Star Wars one, and built two R2D2s (or droids) for us.

Blue for me, Orange for my brother. After I got home, I realized that I got one of the legs wrong for the blue one :'(

And finally, before we left, I took a picture of the building front of the park (I wanted to take one while the train was there ever since I got to Disneyland, but I kept missing my chances)

Well, that was my day at Disneyland, and I would say that I was pretty happy. Everything was really expensive, and I didn't get to go on many rides, but hanging out with my friends really made my day XD

That's all for now! Bye! :D

Hetalia Stereotypes

Hi guys!
I wanted to make a short post on this video I found a while ago... :3
It's a MEP (like an AMV, or Anime Music Video, but with multiple editors) of Hetalia using The Stereotype Song!
Warning: The lyrics are a bit inappropriate

This song has been stuck in my head the whole day (thanks to one of my Hetalia-loving friends). Coincidentally, the first time I heard the song was in this MEP on Hetalia.
I feel like there is no other song that suits Hetalia more than The Stereotype Song. Since Hetalia is like a slice-of-life (of world history), the characters are very important. And if you think about it, all the hot, sexy, good-looking, awesome...wait that's just Prussia, handsome, *cough, cough* I mean wonderful characters of Hetalia are just stereotypes of its citizens. So, that's why I love this video.
Hope you enjoy!

I'm hoping to post again in two days, but that's only if I'm lucky (sooo....much....WORK!!!!!)

P.S. NEVER sing the song's chorus out loud in public (unless you're with your close friends) or you will receive strange stares from the people around you....I've experienced that today (TT^TT)

Happy Mother's Day!

Hello guys! ^^
Happy Mother's Day to all mothers! :D
You are all awesome for being able to raise any kind of kid because I know that we are all annoying XD
Here's some pictures of the gift I made for my stepmom:

Kind of looks like it could be a poster, couldn't it? O.O

Ah, geez -_- The text is so bright...

I made this in a hurry because I procrastinate on everything :P But, I gotta say, it turned out white nicely :) (looked legit! >w<)
I made the watering can out of a tissue box and thin construction paper. The sunflower is made out of cardboard paper and put together with double-sided tape and glue. (Dang, I should of taken a few pictures of me making it... I'll try doing that next time)
I'm still making my present for my mom (shhh! don't tell anyone...hopefully she doesn't read this) because I still have some time before I see her again. Once I'm done with that, I'll take some photos and post it.

Some random thoughts:

• It's so hot!!!! XP
• Finished Season 1 of Hetalia: Axis Powers, am super excited to continue watching more :D
• still "working" on my Ouran High School Host Club reviews (okay, okay, it's going to take a while....a long while -.-;)
• SO HOT!!!!
• started to play lacrosse. It's really fun! I suck though (maybe I'll explain the rules and such some other time)

Well, I'll post again next time when I have something to share (hopefully next week)
Until then, bye!!! :D

Hetalia!

Hello! :D
It is so, so, so, so hot today -_-
Actually, it probably isn't even that hot, but I live in a kinda cool place, so even sweating because of the sun is rare (curse you, global warming!!!)
I bet that those of you who live in places where it's really hot 24/7 must be laughing at me now. Like, a place near the equator or something... like Taiwan. :)
Speaking of Taiwan, here's a fanart of her:

Confused? I shall explain.
First of all, I am now a Hetalian.
...sorta-kinda.
A Hetalian is a fangirl/fanboy of the anime, Hetalia: Axis Powers. I was pulled into the world of Hetalia by two friends of mine who really, really love it (specifically USUK you two fujoshis I still love you guys though! ^o^)
The plot surrounds the lives and history (it's educational! :D) personified countries of the world, specifically Germany, Italy, and Japan of the Axis Powers during World War II. There are also other personified countries such as the Allied Powers of America, England/UK/Britain, Russia, China, and France. Other countries include people like Spain, Hungary, Austria, Prussia.
I started to like Hetalia because of the fanart. It is just simply amazing, and they tell you a lot about the characters. Then, I looked up the characters on the Hetalia wiki, and now, I'm watching the episodes (I'm trying to find some sub, but if I really can't, I'll just stick to some English dub)
My favorite character would be Taiwan (because I have some ancestry from there and cause she's a girl :D), but I also like other countries. I guess you could say that I like pretty much like all the female characters (which aren't a lot compared to all the male characters), specifically Hungary and Vietnam, but I also like Prussia (and the Bad Touch Trio), North Italy ("PASSTTAA!!!!!"), Canada, and America. I really like the Asian countries (South Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong) and the "love triangle" between Prussia, Hungary, and Austira too.
Hetalia is pretty interesting because there are a lot of versions. There's Nyotalia, or the genderbent version, where all the girl are guys and guys are girls. (I heard that it was made for the dudes.) Then, there's Mochitalia, where all the countries are delicious mochi, and Nekotalia, where the characters are cats (not just the cat ears), and 2P, where the characters all have inverted personalities (for example, North Italy, who is usually the happy and carefree baggage of the Axis Powers becomes the dangerous, cruel, and dark leader of the Axis)
Hetalia is so awesome! >w< There are so many characters to love even if they are minor characters or only appear a few times! If you ever see a Hetalia character and don't know what their name is, just check this chart!

Thank you to whoever made this. You're awesome!!! XD

I might as well add Britain with a flying mint bunny :3

Again, I have no idea what's going on in this part of the anime. Everything I know comes from the wiki/fanart.

Bye! :D
