Graze

I came across a website called Graze where they basically sell healthy snacks and deliver them to you on a regular basis. It's actually pretty cool and quite a new and interesting idea. I'm not sure I actually like the idea too much but it's definitely something different =]

You can try a free box (they're really keen on pulling new people) so they sent me a voucher code where if you introduce new people they get a free box and I get £1 off. They're pretty good at this business. Their packaging is awesome and nature-looking. It's exactly the type of stuff I personally like (I look those 'nature finish' folders and stuff, it's way better than the colourful ones ^^) Oh yeah, in case you're interested, please enter this voucher code: RD7VXTC3 at graze.com 

My graze box that awesomely fits through the post box =] 

Top left going clockwise:
Honey cashew nuts;
'Swallows and amazon': brazils, cheries, mango and raisins
'Banana split':banana, cashews and Belgian milk chocolate puffed rice
Wasapeas: wababi peas 

They are pretty small boxes, but I guess that's the whole point of it being a snack box =]

Long Time No Blog + Anime Challenge Week 3

I haven't updated for a while... it seems I can't even blog once a week anymore. Once exams are over, my less-dull life should be back. Just two weeks to go. Gosh, that sounds awfully scary... the fact exams are over in two weeks and I've hardly revised for the other topics.


Day Week Challenge 3 - Your anime crush

Oh dear, there are so many... any awesome, charming, bishie character I will like =P I'm no weirdo though, I know they're not real.

Here's just a small selection from my never-ending favourite character list ^^

Byakuya <3 

Kanda



Ah there are lots more awesome characters but I should get back to revision now... I'll make a better list next time xD And hopefully post more interesting stuff =] 

Have a lovely day and weekend!!! =D

49 Days

You can tell I have coursework due when I post a lot. I think blogging must be one of my most frequent forms of procrastination. I wish I have the willpower to get all this coursework over and done with. But I have three. Bad times. But that is all that's left in my first year of university: three more courseworks and three exams in late May/early June and dun dun dunnnnn that'll my first year of university finished. (And I'm sure the work only gets worse as life progresses).

A brighter side, I am extremely looking forward to summer! Despite the fact I want to get a job and work all summer so I can save up lots of money... but at least I won't be feeling guilty about watching lots of drama and anime - like I do now.

Oh, speaking of dramas. I started watching 49 Days. I keep seeing it on websites but it didn't really seem interesting enough for me to watch. I'm glad I started it.

49 Days is about this girl, Ji Hyun who will be married in a week's time and seemingly has the perfect life, gets into a car crash. On the other hand, there is another girl (Yi Kyung, maybe... I've watched so many episodes but I still can't remember her name) who works in a convenient store, doesn't have many friends and basically lives a depressed life - she tries to commit suicide. Then Ji Hyun, the one who gets in a car crash, is given a chance by the scheduler (sort of like a shinigami). The mission is Ji Hyun has to find three people who will cry genuine tears for her but using Yi Kyung(?)'s body.

It sounds complicated and the synopsis sounds crap (well that's what I thought when I first read it). But then you slowly get hooked to it ^^

Anime Challenge: 2: Favorite Anime You've Watched So Far

Week 2 - Favourite anime you've watched so far 

I don't think I can answer this question. It's impossible to have one favourite anime. There's a whole list that literally runs from the roof to the floor. I'll name a small selection of my favourites ^^


This has been my craze since I started to watch it (around six or seven months ago). The characters are just awesome! 


What can I say about Nana? I've seen this around lots of times and a few friends have recommended it but it didn't quite appeal at first. The synopsis was something on the lines of two girls, both named Nana meet and that's basically it. But it's actually so amazing. I'm not the type who will usually rewatch things, but Nana is definitely an anime I'll rewatch =)

30 Day Anime Challenge

Ideally I should do this in the summer... I may end up stopping (or forgetting about it) after a few days, so I doubt the '30 days' will be continuous. I came across it on FB, just like the 30 day song challenge. 

I'm starting to think, maybe it should be 30 week anime challenge instead... that might seem more doable =P 

Day Week 1 - Very first anime 

Oh dear, I really can't remember. It was either 

Doremon 
or 

Sailor Moon


I've watched both of these as a kid - from as young as I can remember. But they were definitely one of the first ^^
