<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It there's one thing I hate more than general stupidity/lack of observation, its redundancy. To repeat something even though it has been acknowledged or deemed unneccessary is a sure way to a slow, painful death at the hands of Mich, god of retribution for all things unintelligent. This is why I hate repeating myself, or when people repeat themselves when they talk. Don't worry though, I'm not hating the player; I'm hating the game (and holy crap, to think I'd use THAT idiom... I must be totally wasted).</p>
<p>---</p>
<p>On a seperate note, after the first session of writing this entry and before the 2nd, I went to the Toronto Night Market. A swell, crowded mess that was. Thoroughly enjoyable, but man was it crowded. I remember trying to get from one booth to another while there were enough people to fill the damn Skydome cramped into a single parking lot (Skydome, y'hear? Sky-frucking-dome). Like, seriously, it felt more crowded than when I was shopping in Mongkok. Plus, there was this really smoky haze drifting about the whole area as a result of all the grilling and cooking going on in the tents; it was the stench of smelly tofu, korean spices, smelly tofu, marinated sausages, smelly tofu, tobacco, and smelly-frucking-tofu. The smell just so happened to always coincide with the passing of a cloud of smoke (which was released every few seconds from  god knows where)</p>
<p>Of course, then there was the matter of the food. Had some interesting delicacies... like... taiyaki uguu~!</p>
[caption id="attachment_24" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Taiyaki uguu~"]<a href="http://lunacyoftranquillity.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/dsc00422.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-24" src="http://lunacyoftranquillity.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/dsc00422.jpg?w=300" alt="Taiyaki uguu~" width="300" height="225" /></a>[/caption]
<p>For these two little things, I waited a good 50 minutes in line. Amazing, eh?</p>
<p>While on the topic of food, let me talk about some more "food". There was this man who was holding up a sign reading "free facials" in English and Chinese. I told friend #1 and he laughed. Then friend #2 starts laughing even more and saying there's a double meaning. I feint ignorance and act confused, 'cause I don't want to acknowledge what he just said; the same occurs with friend #1. We start asking what he means, hoping it isn't what we think it is. Lo and behold, when friend #1 stiffles a laugh and asks if "its something about bukkake or something", friend #2 says "yeah, haha". We proceed to stare him down and facepalm. [Oh crap, foot cramp ;_;]</p>
<p>Yeah yeah, fried ice cream. Should've tried it. Should've.</p>
<p>---</p>
<p>Now, it's been a good 9 hours since my day started, and I've managed to ignore my ISU for every passing second of those 9 hours. I think it's about time to start. Just maybe. I should probably go decide upon a build for my DC/OC/vend slave, or level my sage/sader/sinx/slinger...</p>
<p>---</p>
<p>You know, a great idea for me would be to get my lazy ass off my computer and venture into the vast smorgasbord of the city. However, I need motivation. The fact that I've work that's waiting for me isn't help at all, not to mention the waves of anxiety that hit me when I have been away from RO for too long (ROWS- RO withdrawal syndrome?). Damn.</p>
<p>---</p>
<p>Enough. I'll save anything else for my next post, damnit. I need to actually write on something serious for a change; I think I've been saying "I" too much, lowering the formality of my writing. Meh, oh wellz0rs.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Buenas a todos, ¡cuanto tiempo! Tanto, que han renovado los menús de wordpress y ni me había enterado :P</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pues nada, escribo para dar señales de vida y explicaros un poco lo que fue la cena de anoche, en un restaurante japonés por el que había pasado por delante incontables veces y nunca me había llamado la atención. El restaurante en qüestión se llama <a href="http://11870.com/pro/26807">Teppan-ya</a>, y se encuentra en la calle Lepant, cerca de la calle Pare Claret, en Barcelona.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://m2.11870.com/multimedia/pro/pl_91866be0ed30d6a36df817992d2a2ef3.jpeg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cuando entramos, nos preguntaron si fumadores o no, y al decir que no nos pusieron casi en la entrada, pero al ver el ambientazo de lejos que había dentro, dije que no nos importaba y nos pusieron dentro. Qué acierto, aquello si que molaba, puedes ver a todos los cocineros mientras preparan los platos, hay tres salas VIP, donde tienes que descalzarte y que son más típicas, la decoración está muy bien, todos visten con kimono y en la barra de ponen un kimono y ves de cerca como los cocineros que están con las planchas hacen malabarismos, (¡la próxima vez voy a la barra fijo!).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mientras decidíamos que tomar, nos trajeron unas toallitas calientes y un aperitivo buenísimo que consistía en un triángulo de pan con queso fundido y semillas, (¡nada de ese asqueroso snack llamado aperitivo japonés!), Mi novia pidió <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopa_miso">Sopa de Miso</a> y <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sushi#Makizushi">makizushis</a> de atún, yo me pillé el menú de noche en el que entran 4 platos: Makizushis variados, <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakitori">Yaki Tori</a>, <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempura">Tempura</a> y <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fideos_fritos">fideos fritos</a> por 14,15€. De postres ella pidió helado y yo <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiyaki">Tai Yaki</a>, una pasta frita con forma de pez rellena de pasta de judías que siempre me había hecho mucha ilusión probar.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Kr5L0ScriBQ/RiLfAb7oH2I/AAAAAAAABJY/uIDt3QPSfVc/s320/Genki+Living+Custard+Taiyaki.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Al acabar nos invitaron a unos chupitos. El servicio impecable. No es barato pero tampoco muy caro, aunque vale lo que cuesta. Para ocasiones especiales o para economías sin problemas es muy recomendable.</p>

Shana ist auf dem Cover soooo süß... ich hab das Poster davon auch aufgehangen <img src="http://asukakawaii.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/01.gif" alt="w" /><br />
Ich liebe das Megami Magazin... die Zeitschrift hat sooo~ viele schöne Poster jedesmal drinnen (15-20 ca.) und zusätzlich noch tolle Extras. Am liebsten würde ich sie Abonnieren ^-^ Vielleicht mach ich das sogar mal...</p>
<p>ViVi May 2008<br />

<p>Sailor Moon Manga Band 5<br />
Die neu Auflage des SM Mangas mit den neuen Cover Bildern ist Mega kawaii... ich will sie alle haben ^-^ Ich kaufe mir jedesmal eins wenn ich dort bin... immer danach welches Cover mir grad am besten gefüllt xD<br />

<p>unbedingt probieren...<br />
Aber sie schmeckte net so gut :/ und hat über 2€ gekostet (es sind nicht einmal 100g 70 oder 80 waren es).<br />
Na ja ist ja auch Birnen Geschmack o_O ich stehe nicht so auf Birnen ^^'<br />
Aber grüne Schoki ist schon cool XD<br />
Ich hatte davor mal die Grünen KitKats gegessen, aber da war die Schokolade aus Grün Tee.<br />
Die schmeckte wirklich gut ^-^</p>
<p>Ich mag auch Pockys sehr gerne, aber die hier, haben nicht so dolle geschmeckt :/ zu bitter.<br />
Am besten sind immer noch die Ichigos (Erdbeere), aber nicht die normalen, sondern welche mir einer extra dicken Schicht. Leider hatten sie die diesmal nicht.<br />
Die anderen Süßigkeiten haben auch ganz gut geschmeckt ^-^</p>
<p>Dann habe ich mir noch ne Schüssel und ne kleine Tasche gekauft ^.^</p>

Die Füllung besteht auch aus dieser rotenbohnenpaste wie im Taiyaki.<br />
Leider hab ich die Verpackung nicht mehr, und ich hatte sie auch nicht nach Hause mitgenommen ...<br />
Irgendwie hab ich es verpasst Dangos zu kaufen oO (wenn Dangos das sind was ich denke was sie sind ^^').</p>
<p>Als ich nach Hause kam, war da noch was schönes angekommen:</p>
<p><img src="http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc71/littlewingblog/Megami582005.jpg" alt="Megami" /></p>
<p>Megami Vol.58 vom Jahre 2005 lol<br />
Ich habe sie bei eBay gekauft.<br />
Ich wollte sie unbedingt haben, wegen Misuzu &#62;.&#60; Ich hätte am liebsten alles von AIR XD<br />
Ich hätte auch gerne die ganzen weiteren Megami Ausgaben wo was von AIR (Poster) drin ist.<br />

I haven&#8217;t posted for a long time!
Sorry, but I was really busy!
-&gt;  Stupid]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div align="center">I know, I know..<br />
I haven't posted for a long time!</div>
<div align="center">Sorry, but I was really busy!</div>
<div align="center">-&#62;  Stupid School T.T</div>
<div align="center">Anyways, I'm happy to post again. :)</div>
<div align="center">As you can see from the title, I'm going write a post about Mochi and Wagashi.<br />
Probably, like the first time I saw those two strange words I was thinking..</div>
<div align="center">Whats That?  xD</div>
<div align="center">Wagashi and Mochi.. Sounds weird, huh? :D</div>
<div align="center">To me, it sounds like some pet dogs, :p.</div>
<div align="center">Well, just so you know, Its not!</div>
<div align="center">:D</div>
<div align="center">Here is a delicious sample :)</div>
<div align="center"><a href="http://xkawaii.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/bolll.jpg" title="bolll.jpg"><img src="http://xkawaii.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/bolll.thumbnail.jpg" alt="bolll.jpg" /></a></div>
<div align="center"> - Actually a Dango made from Moch :p</div>
<div align="center">Looks great, doesn't it? :D</div>
<div align="center">I want to eat it ! &#62;.&#60;</div>
<div align="center"> Waah.. I wonder when they'll finally find out a machine that is able to teleport me to Japan or a shop that sells stuff like this !</div>
<div align="center">- I bet nobody in Belgium sells this T.T</div>
<div align="center"></div>
<div align="center">Anyways, I should probably get to the point instead of brabbling about random things :)</div>
<div align="center">Mochi is, as Wikipedia says a Japanese Rice cake made of glutinous rice,<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutinous_rice" title="Glutinous rice"></a> pounded into paste and molded into shape.</div>
<div align="center">It's traditionally eaten at Japanese New Year.</div>
<div align="center"> (I'm going to write an article about it soon)</div>
<div align="center"></div>
<div align="center">Mochi is similar to the Chinese Nian Gao, scrumptious goo,xD</div>
<div align="center">Nian Gao and Mochi are both very sticky and hard to eat.</div>
<div align="center">Though, once you get the hang of it, you'll never want to stop. :)</div>
<div align="center"></div>
<div align="center">Mochi is the base for something even better,</div>
<div align="center">Wagashi !</div>
<div align="center">Japanese Confectionary served with thee.</div>
<div align="center">Some types of Wagashi are also  made of azuki bean past and fruits.</div>
<div align="center">Usually it's made of natural, mainly plant ingrediënts.</div>
<div align="center"></div>
<div align="center">There are many types of confectionary based on Wagashi,</div>
<div align="center">Type 1. Rakugan.<br />
A Rakugan is a small, very solid sweet cake which is made of rice flour and Mizuame.</div>
<div align="center">(-Mizuame is a sweetener that is literally translated as Water Candy)</div>
<div align="center"></div>
<div align="center"><a href="http://xkawaii.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/rakugan-fruit.jpg" title="rakugan-fruit.jpg"><img src="http://xkawaii.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/rakugan-fruit.thumbnail.jpg" alt="rakugan-fruit.jpg" /></a>                <a href="http://xkawaii.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/rokugan-two.jpg" title="rokugan-two.jpg"><img src="http://xkawaii.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/rokugan-two.thumbnail.jpg" alt="rokugan-two.jpg" /></a>                 <a href="http://xkawaii.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/rokugan.jpg" title="rokugan.jpg"><img src="http://xkawaii.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/rokugan.thumbnail.jpg" alt="rokugan.jpg" /></a></div>
<div align="center"></div>
<div align="center">Type 2. Taiyaki!</div>
<div align="center">Beautiful, yummy fish-like mochi !:D</div>
<div align="center">Its actually a fish shaped waffle buut.. :p</div>
<div align="center">Mostly filled with red bean paste or sometimes even with chocolate, cheese or another sauce.</div>
<div align="center">Depends on what you like , of course. :D</div>
<div align="center"> <a href="http://xkawaii.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/taiyaki.jpg" title="taiyaki.jpg"><img src="http://xkawaii.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/taiyaki.thumbnail.jpg" alt="taiyaki.jpg" /></a></div>
<div align="center"></div>
<div align="center">Type 3. Anmitsu!</div>
<div align="center"> Is made of small cubes translucent jelly made from seaweed, served in a bowl with sweet</div>
<div align="center">bean paste, boiled peas and a variety of fruits such as peach slices, <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikan" title="Mikan"></a></i> pieces of pineapples, and cherries.</div>
<div align="center"> <a href="http://xkawaii.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/anmitsu.jpg" title="anmitsu.jpg"><img src="http://xkawaii.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/anmitsu.thumbnail.jpg" alt="anmitsu.jpg" />     </a><a href="http://xkawaii.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/anmitusss.jpg" title="anmitusss.jpg"><img src="http://xkawaii.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/anmitusss.thumbnail.jpg" alt="anmitusss.jpg" /></a><a href="http://xkawaii.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/anmitsu.jpg" title="anmitsu.jpg">                           </a></div>
<div align="center"> Weell, of course, that aren't all the types of mochi and wagashi but I got to go now!</div>
<div align="center">Brother is wining again,xD .</div>
<div align="center"></div>
<div align="center">Of course , I won't let you drooling over these delicious pictures without anything to do.</div>
<div align="center">Here is a recipe from WikiHow! :D</div>
<div align="center">http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Mochi</div>
<div align="center">Link to WikiHow, how to make Mochi !</div>
<div align="center">Have Fun Making It!</div>
<div align="center">-Srry I still haven't figured out how to make a hyperlink :p</div>
<div align="center">Well, Byee !</div>

<p>Hi there, everyone !  It's already my 7th year here in Japan and ever since I've started my blog since 2004, I believe I haven't been introducing the culture of Japan much and I thought it should be high time I do something about it. Today, I am introducing you, for those who are not familiar with Japanese food, to what we call as "<i>taiyaki</i>" and "<i>nattō</i>". Well, the detailed descriptions are as stated above. About "<i>taiyaki</i>", if you know Doraemon well enough, it is something like "<i>dorayaki</i>", one of Doraemon's favorite confectionery. I bought the ones above from a shop nearby my apartment and it is about 80 yen for one. About "<i>nattō</i>", many foreigners and many Japanese themselves cannot stand the taste and smell. I, myself, could not take it too in the beginning but after going to Kyushu, I began to learn to enjoy it and now, it is one of my favorite Japanese food. It is good for your health and it is publicly known here in Japan to have a good effect in making your blood flow well. Alright, that's it for today. I'll introduce more in the near future. Peace.</p>

<p>Mini Taiyaki! Love these to bits, a mouthful of bliss per fish. A pity they bring in these adorable japanese pastry only once every 6 months at Isetan. I've been walking down to Shaw Centre everyday just to get these. =) Grab them while you can! At $6 for 15, happiness comes rather cheap. The custard and caramel ones are delish! I prefer to chill the custard ones, but they're good warm as well, abit like condensed milk. Mmmm...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay talk about neglecting the food blog. It's not like I didn't eat anything at all. Don't worry - I've been eating alright. I just haven't been updating you guys. So I spent the first 4 days of summer at Genki Living. Mind you, the place is pretty good. It gets old really quick.</p>

<strong>Taiyaki </strong>- It's like a cake - but inside there's different filling. There's red bean, custard, chocolate, taro, etc. I don't remember them all. I'm not in love with this. Maybe because it only takes them 45 mintues just to cook 3 of time. I get really impatinet.</p>

A yummy <strong>crepe</strong>. Ingore the <strong>Mango slush</strong>. Mind you, that sush was good. I don't know. I hate how I can only get good crepes at Genki. But worth it? No.</p>

<strong>Takoyaki</strong>. Okay this is good stuff. It's basically octopus balls. I know it sounds sick. But trust me - it's good...and sizzling hot.</p>
<p>7 out of 10. Sadly, I will come back. The only reason is this is the only place I know of that sells this kind of food. Oh curses.</p>
