A New Hobby: MINECRAFT

OMG.. it has been so long since I post on the blog but who's keeping score right? Anyway, I just want to share a new hobby of mine. I donno if playing games counts as a hobby but I'm going to called it a hobby anyway! Live with it! =P

As you can tell from the title my new hobby is playing Minecraft. Never herd of it? Google!
The reason that I started playing Minecraft is because the video below,

but that just not it. It's the story behind the making of it. If you want to understand the whole picture you just need to watched this guy TheSyndicateProject on Youtube and follow he's Mincraft Project Series. He's an awesome game commentator (in my opinion of course) The first reason why I started playing Minecraft. It's just amazing what these people can do. How creative they are. Not in a million years that I am able to build anything close to what they have done. To all creative people out there, I SALUTE YOU!

Food: Crispy Onion Rings

I don't really love eating onions in general but I love onion rings. I don't know why maybe cause its deep fry, crispy and looks like calamari ring =P Anyway, I've been wanting to try this one recipe I found on YouTube by foodwishes. Finally got around to gather all the ingredients and since its a dull Saturday for me today why not just give it a go and it turn out awesome.

It doesn't look quite as awesome as chef John's onion rings but it taste and sound great just the same (^_^) Watched the video below from foodwishes for the recipe on how to make the crispy onion ring.

Have fun cooking!

Review: My Youtube Guru's

I never been a Youtube fan until mid last year when I started watching makeup tutorial. Its not because I hate it, its just because the videos take to long to load on my broadband line and I don't think I have anything to watch from there.

Like I said, I started watching it mid last year around July 2008. I was trying to find the right look for me to do for my pre-graduation night. I kinda have the idea on what I want it to look like, is just that I have no idea on how to do it. So, I did some research on google and forums just to find like picture and stuff. On one of the forums I went to, they mention about RiceBunny a.k.a MichellePhan channel on Youtube. So, her channel was the first one I watched and I started to search for other videos and OMG I have no idea there was a lot of them. I found faffinatex3 a.k.a Aubrey and I thought her makeup skill was pretty and easy to follow and since then I have subscribe to a lot of gurus. They really helped me whether I'm looking for a product review or to learn new makeup skills.

I know maybe some people would say that, if you want to learn how to put on makeup why watched it on Youtube? Are those gurus qualified? Why not take classes?

Well I am going to take classes in the future and the question whether these gurus are qualified or not is not a problem to me. There are those who I followed are professional makeup artist but there are also some who only do freelance job and some who are just your average everyday girl who are willing to share their experience and views. To me the more info and views I can get, the better.

But I do have some tips that people should remember when following a guru.

1. Don't just follow one guru religiously. Get as many points of view you can get.
2. Don't go buying everything the gurus recommend. What suitable for her doesn't mean it will be suitable for you to.
3. Try to look for gurus who has the closes features to you. What looks good on her doesn't mean it will work on you.
4. Know yourself first. For example your skin type, your eye shape, your skin tone etc.
   

Bellow are some of the gurus I followed (in random order):
