Planning.. self-motivation

Haven't been writing in this blog for a while.. not that anyone's really reading this anyway.

Life's been a blur with its ups and downs.. downs > ups, but hell, am finally picking myself up and getting started.

Less fooling around, more quality time.

Took the GMAT last month with a 710, which is totally acceptable,

but what a shame, have no means to use this.. (gave up on a MBA program due to family reasons)

Feel like being left behind from everyone, but come to think of it, no body is holding me back, it's just myself, right?

Soooo, I decided to write a list of what I want to do, how I want to be, for the next 6 months.

At least it's a start.

and know what comes first on my list of 'do's'?

"DO NOT PROCRASTINATE"

This might be the hardest part of the deal, being me, the world's biggest procrastinator..

let's see how I do for the next month... starting now.

'Bucket full-o-pudding' (serves 20)

'PUDDING' is a v.popular desert in Japan.. though it isn't the pudding that an average westerner

would imagine..

A Japanese pudding is.. something like a custard-tasting glob of jello with caramel sauce on top... can imagine that?

Anyway.

Just found this arcticle on Yahoo!JP that announced a new product

'Bucket full-o-pudding' (i think i did a good job translating this)

According to the arcticle, you can..

'By adding 1.6 liters of hot water (80℃） to the powder mix inside the bucket (bucket comes with kit),

then letting it cool in the fridge for 5-6 hours,

the pudding hardens, naturally separating itself with the caramel sauce (wow).

By flipping the bucket onto a plate, the pudding will come out under it's own weight.

Who would have thought of selling a product that can make 2L of pudding?

well..

This product was born from the idea of pudding-related products such as the 'pudding bath',

and plans are to develop chocolate-taste versions near Valentine's Day...'

And this is a pretty serious toy company that is selling this thing... did they seriously consider

marketing strategies?

such a strange country...

my best friend's wedding

Have lost access to the Japanese Yahoo! site these past 2 days.. probably some article written that was disapproved by the Chinese gov... (so much censorship... 21st century? hellooo???)

anyway

Just back from my whirlwind trip back to Tokyo, and finally settling down to the usual routine..

This time, my main event in Tokyo was my best friend's wedding

The wedding was very.. Japanese in a warm, good way,

the bride was so beautiful and blissfully happy!!

as for me, I had a embarassed but fun laugh dancing my college cheerleading routine..

+ as weddings always are, it was a great reunion with my college friends.

the 3 for the next 60, 70 yrs!!!
