2 APP time

Hi boys and girls!  Lily Moon here and I want to share with you a couple of my favorite apps.  If you have an iPod or iPhone or even an iPad, then let me introduce you to:

Toca Boca Kitchen

Don't be fooled by kiddish looks, it's actually quite entertaining!  How you play is you pick a customer first (there are 4 different characters), then you pick a food item from the fridge, next you can decide how to prepare your food and finally, you feed it to your customer.  Sometime they'll eat it, sometimes they give you a funny look!

Choose your character.

Prepare the food.

You can get this app here.   I give this a 4 star rating!

The next app I want to share with you is Toca Boca Hair Salon.

I think this one is my favorite of the two!

Here are some of my hairstyles:

Funny huh?!

Get the app here.  I give this app 5 stars!!

The cool thing about this app is that it's free!  If you don't have your own iPhone, iPod, or iPad, you can always ask your parents to put this app on theirs!

Bye for now!

4 Lala dress #01

As crazy as life gets with all of the chaos of moving/packing and surviving from day to day chores, I have to make time for myself and sew. It's my therapy... my crack.

And so look at this cutie! The dress I mean (tee-hee). Easy and quick!

Must.Make.More. 

P.S. who needs sleep?!

2 A brief look inside my world

Hello, my name is Sophia, I'm 14 and I have a HUGE (and still growing) love and passion for anime. Anime is basically Japanese cartoons and the style of drawing. Some really popular ones are Naruto, Pokemon, Sailor Moon, and (probably THE most famous) Dragon Ball Z. 

Sailor Moon via mangamarket
I've always watched it ever since I was little (I mean LITTLE). Ever since then, I've always loved it, watched it, and drawn it!!

Naruto via girlsandanimation

I've gotten to love it to the point where I'm actually writing (and drawing) a manga (Japanese comic book consisting with the anime style of art) of my own! It's called, The Summer I Met My Psycho Family. It's about this girl who (reluctantly) travels to Chicago and meets her relatives for the first time. Little does she know that her family members are horror films' most infamous killers known to society who ALSO turn out to form their own gang together! Then, she learns dark secrets about her family that go WAAAAAAAAAAY back (I mean all the way back to the beginning of the Black Plague) which affects her. So, she has to quickly save the world from a girl who's trying to kill her and her family, learn how to fight, travel all over the U.S and SURVIVE from the police, monsters, and demons..... ALL WITHIN A SUMMER BREAK (it's six weeks for her and hence the title name). 

Pokemon via free-press-release

I thought of and wanted to do this for multiple reasons.

1. I love drawing (I think when I grow old, I'll still have a love for drawing)

2. The situation and story line was just too interesting to forget (the whole relative thing came from an inside joke)

3. I WANT to become an manga author, illustrator, and animator for anime when I grow up. 

Dragonball Z via internet

I want to publish my work online and once I do, I hope people will enjoy it!

...OH man I better start cracking on this!

((Quickly starts drawing))
Well, I better go back to the drawing board, See YA!
 ((Waves goodbye))

4 family vacation

In a couple of weeks we're headin' out on a much needed vacation.

"Hey, but you just moved in..."

Yes, yes I know. 
Crazy hectic with the new blog, new home and now a vacation. Sheesh... tough I tell ya, but we have to go. This vacation is quite special-a MUST do if you will. Y'see it's my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, my dad's 75th birthday, my sister's 50th birthday and Mr.'s 40th birthday. Needless to say...
We have a lot of celebrating to do.

Philippines trip 2007

So we're heading out to the Philippines! Our last visit was in 2007. The girls were much younger then and it'll be Lala's first. I'm quite anxious about the flight... 16 hours... ONEWAY.

16.

Did I mention ONEWAY?

...

Pray for me.

Once we land, then we'll be on vacation.

200 year old family mango tree

My parents have a farm on Guimaras (Gim-mah-rahs) or "gimme rice" as my bro-in-law calls it. They have a small mango orchard along will a rice field. Oh man, you haven't had rice until you had this. I'm hoping to make some mango jam to bring back, but I'll be lucky if I can get it past customs. It'll be my first time making it so any suggestions would be helpful!

 tell ya what... if you can share with me any mango recipes or tips, if I can sneak some back, I'll send you some. Deal?

10 more 3' baskets full of mangoes not shown
So while I'm gone, I would love to have you over to kinda watch over things... y'know "blogsit". I will be over the moon to have you guest post. Just shoot me an email. I'll even bring you back some goodies!

gone fishin' 2007

Maybe not fish, but it'll  be good for sure! I wish I had more pictures to show you from our last visit, but Mr. found this video on YouTube.
Yyyah... welcome to the Philippines!

Before we leave, I have some stuff to show you, just come on back... I'll be here waitin' for you....
