Move over Sandra Lee...

2007-05-08T00:56:00.000-04:00

'cause Tany's coming!! :p

Yesterday was my Bday.. ugh I can't believe I'm 27 yrs. old!! :(

Anyway... I bought a plain cake at the supermarket and bought some chocolate & vanilla Betty Crocker frosting and decorated it. It was fun & way cheaper than an actual Bday cake!! ;)

Sandra Lee would be proud!! (In case you have no idea who Sandra Lee is, she's has her own show on Food Network called Semi-Homemade and she uses store bought ingredients and make these really cool & easy dishes.)

So wanna see the piece de resistance?!!

Here it is!!

I couldn't fit the word Happy in there so that's why it only says Bday Tany, hehehehe! :p

Not bad for novice, huh? ;)

P.S. A more real post/update coming soon, i promise!

Official hiatus

2007-01-11T04:46:00.000-04:00

Just posting to let you know that i'm officially putting this blog on an indefinite hiatus. So i won't be posting for a long long while.

Anyway, that's all... until next time, bye!

Huge Mistake!

2006-12-23T01:28:00.000-04:00

Yep! I commited a huge mistake! This past Sunday my cousin Jeannette & her daughter came to visit because they were in PR, but they were leaving on Thursday. And i was stupid enough to give her daughter my MySpace screenname!! I completely forgot that i had linked my MySpace profile to this blog. I definitely don't want the family finding out about this blog, since i name names & talk about the family a whole lot!! Ugh! I removed the link here, but they still could find this blog if they went to any other of my profiles, etc. Oh, well what's done is done, and i'm certainly not going to stop posting here, and most definitely am not going to move this blog... AGAIN... so my new attitude will be whatever. If they read it, good... if they don't even BETTER.

Anywho... i'll probably won't post for a few days, so i just want to wish you guys a very Merry Xmas!! Have fun everybody!!!

Hugs!

So...

2006-12-02T02:14:00.000-04:00

Is anyone else on blogger having the issue of their blog being marked as a spam-blog? Ugh, that's what's going on with all three of my blogger blogs.

At least their letting me post, even if i have to do the word verification thingie. Seriously... as boring as my blogs are, anyone who just happens to glance at them will realize they're not spam-blogs. So i haven no idea how someone could mistake them for one. Is it because i post pics & news & stuff? Or is it because i don't post that often? Maybe it's because i haven't switched to blogger beta yet. Hmmm... I don't know. I just hope they solve this soon. I've already requested them to review my blogs, hopefully i'll get a response soon.

Anyway, no other news to report. Hope you're all having a nice time getting ready for the holidays.

Hugs!

So-So...

2006-11-15T11:05:00.000-04:00

That's how i'm feeling. So-So. I've been feeling down in the dumps lately, which is why i haven't posted anything here. I guess because i don't want to have a kind of emo blog. So that said, i think i'm going to put this blog on a bit a hiatus. I've been thinking of switching to blogger beta, but still am not sure since reviews are mixed. And i have to find out if my layouts will work in beta. So, now seems as good a time as any to put this blog on the back burner. I'll still post in my other blogs, since they have nothing to do with my personal life, just my hobbies and such, and those are the only things keeping me afloat at the moment.

Ok, so... that's it for now. See 'ya around.

P.S. If anyone's interested you find my other blogs on the right side of this page.

Excitement Galore!!

2006-10-13T03:41:00.000-04:00

Very fun weekend awaits!! Yes! I'm staying at my fave aunt's apartment, uber fun. And i'm going to be taking some classes on how to make fine jewelry on Saturdays, so yay!!

I know, i know... that may be boring to most people, but considering my life mainly consists of taking care of grandma and the internet, i'm thrilled. Pathetic, i know. EVS!! (That's 'whatever' for those of you not in the know, hehehe.)

See 'ya Monday!! :p

Random-mania!!!

2006-09-30T04:07:00.000-04:00

Sorry for the lack of posts, it's just that i really don't have much to post in this blog. R/L has been monotonous & boring lately - more than normal - but i have plenty to post about in all my other blogs. Go figure.

I'll try to post here more often... operative word: TRY.

Huggles!

Good news!!

2006-09-22T01:27:00.000-04:00

My grandmother's back home! Her tests results came back negative, and even though she has to have the tests done again in 2 months, we're happy to have her home.

She does have a small fracture in her spine due to her osteoporosis, so we have to be extra careful with her.

But, I'm happy we have her back with us... so yay!!

On other news... I started reading the novel for Wicked, and I must say it's incredibly addicting, hehehe.

Anyway, later....

Hugs!

Long time, No blog...

2006-09-20T03:32:00.000-04:00

My grandmother's in the hospital. She's been there for a week. We're very worried because she has three ulcers in her stomach, a hernia in the esophagus, and she doesn't want to eat anything. We're waiting on the results of the biopsy.

I hope everything's ok.

I've been postponing this post for the last week. Perhaps because i thought she'd be home in a couple of days, but i think it's been mostly because i post in so many other blogs about my hobbies and the like. and i'm so enthusiastic about it, that i just didn't want anyone thinking i don't care about my grandmother. Which i do, of course. I've taken care of her in one way or another almost my whole life. But I have to occupy myself with my hobbies and my shows, etc. Or else i'll just go insane.

Please think happy thoughts for my grandmother. Wish along with me that she gets better soon, so we can have her back home.

Hugs!

What the what is LADYLIKE?!

2006-09-08T02:05:00.000-04:00

I am incredibly hooked on Rockstar: Supernova!

My favorites are Dilana & Storm. I'm so sad Storm was eliminated this week. :(

She's amazing... i would definitely buy her cd.

Dilana is rockin'. That girl is just awesome.

My other two faves are Magni & Toby.

Even though i love Dilana, i think Toby is going to win. I just have a feeling about it.

There was a contestant on the show from Puerto Rico named Zayra. I couldn't stand her. Incredibly annoying. I was embarassed for her. I was like: "Don't say you're from P.R., please!" Hehehe. She was ignorant and so not talented. I was glad she was eliminated.

Can't till next week! To see my girl Dilana perform. ;)

I'll leave you with some Dilana & Storm pics:

VMAs '06

2006-09-01T15:04:00.000-04:00

This year's VMA's were a special brand of Crap-ola!! LOL!

It was painful to watch. I think Jack Black should stick to movies. 'Cause as host he was just.... Hmmm....

Even the performances were awful. Even my girls Shakira & Beyoncé let me down! (Though Beyoncé's outfit was very cool, i have to give her props for that.)

There were only 2 moments that made the whole debacle worthwhile and they were Christina Aguilera & Panic! at the Disco.

Christina looked fabulous. I'm glad she decided to perform one of her ballads. She was amazing as always.

And Panic! at the Disco did an awesome job! Love them!

The rest just sucked big time. Not to mention that a lot of artists that won didn't really deserve to win in my opinion.

Though of course i was happy my cutie from the U.K. James Blunt won Best Male Video... that was the other only cool moment of the whole night.

That's all for now... Huggles!

Random Thoughts

2006-08-27T16:47:00.000-04:00

I've always wanted to be a mother (and sometimes i still do). But i think i wasn't born to have kids. I have no maternal instincts what-so-ever. As evidenced by the fact that i'm annoyed by any type of child in my presence. I like babies, but children 2 or 3 and older are out of my league.

Right now my cousin (who i haven't talked to yet, because we had a falling out) has his 2 kids here with him. And their noise is driving me crazy. I have a headache as big as Mars.

Does this make me a bad person?

*sighs* I don't think so. I think it just makes me human.

Well, update later...

Hugs!!

FunkyTown????

2006-08-23T22:44:00.000-04:00

I'm in a rather funky mood. Can't pinpoint what's going on or why. Very weird.

I actually have no idea as to why i'm posting right now.

*sighs*

I'll post a real entry later.

Hugs!

I'm baaaack!!

2006-08-22T00:01:00.000-04:00

I was sick for two whole weeks!! And I still have some cough. :(

Things are just not going as planned. Not everything is peaches & cream around here. And it makes me so sad & mad at the same time. My mother & I have been through so much all our lives, and we just can't get a break. It seems all the good things always happen to other people. I mean, we're not the best people in the world, but they sure are a lot worse. Can't we just have something go our way for once?!

*sigh* Anyway, I have faith something good is coming our way. I just have to believe that or I'll just go insane. Plus every time I feel down about things not going our way I remember all those millions of people that are in much worse situations than us.

-------

On an extremely less important note... I got the new Christina Aguilera CD. It's amazing! I just love her. I don't care what anybody says about her. She's way more talented than other artists out there. (Don't make me name names, hehehe.)

I'm excited about the new Evanescence CD, can't wait till it comes out.

Ok, so who saw the Craptastic Kevin Federline debut performance? I saw it on youtube.com, and it was simply disastrous. He actually believes he's got talent!! That's what amuses me the most. And you know what irks me? That there's probably gonna be like a million teeny-boppers that are gonna go out and buy his crappy CD. Oh, and don't even get me started on Britney!! Hell, I'm not even gonna go there, simply 'cause I hate when people trash my Christina, so I'm just gonna shut up about Britney before I say something horrible, true but horrible. LOL! :p

That's all for now.

Huggles!

Crap-tastic!

2006-08-06T08:10:00.000-04:00

I feel horrible! I got a cold, and i feel like crap. Don't feel like writing too much.

Huggles!

Yummy Radomness...

2006-07-29T02:52:00.000-04:00

I should state for the record that the next time i get a computer i'm getting a Mac. ;)

Ooh, there's a new site called Cyworld US. It's like a community type place, like LJ, MySpace & the like. It's really cool. I always liked the Korean version of the site, so i'm glad there's finally one in English.

Here's the addy: http://us.cyworld.com/

And here's my minihome: http://us.cyworld.com/tany24

It's really cool, you can make your own little mini-me, buy clothes for it, and decorate your own mini-room.

Go check it out!! :p

So i think i fixed it...

2006-07-28T06:11:00.000-04:00

How? I had to re-install Windows!!!! I'm so tired, and i still have to re-install all my programs! This sucks.

More later...

Hugs!

P.S. As i didn't have enough problems, there seems to be something wrong with the layout... or is it just me? Let me know, please!

So pissed off!!!!!!!

2006-07-27T02:07:00.000-04:00

I am so pissed off right now i could just smash my computer against the ground, but then again my problems are not caused by my computer, but by Microsoft!!!!!

I've always been pro-Microsoft & pro-Windows. Windows is all i've ever known. So i've always defended it til the end.

But right now, i'm just incredibly pissed off.

See, there's this little thing called Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool, and the stupid-ass thing is telling me that my Windows Version isn't genuine (which OF COURSE it is!). I go to validate my system at the Microsoft site and what do 'ya know? It tells me that indeed my copy is genuine. Well, whoop-de-doo, i already know THAT!

But there's this message that just keeps on appearing saying that it's not genuine!!!!!! I am at my wit's end!!!!!!!!

I've gone and done the things they recommend i should do over at the Microsoft forums, nothing works, of course.

And i can't even communicate with Microsoft through their service request thingie, because guess what, that wonderful little WGA tool is blocking every log in page, from Gmail, to Yahoo! to guess what... HOTMAIL!!!!!!!!

Hell, i can't even sign in to the Microsoft forum to post a damn message!!!

The only reason i could post something here is because I have Blogger set up to remember me and not have to log on each time, if it weren't for that i'd probably have problem signing into blogger too.

Please if someone reads this and can help me out, PLEASE leave me a comment!!!!

P.S. Sorry for the ranty-ness I'm just this close to having a nervous breakdown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOT! (happy dance)

2006-07-24T02:54:00.000-04:00

My blog was accepted to be listed @ Blogs By Women!! Yay! So very cool.

You can find the Blogs By Women directory here: http://www.blogsbywomen.org/

On other news... my mom & I were talking and she said the damndest thing... she said she doesn't really know me. I said, 'I know'. She then asked why i didn't talk to her truthfully, and i told her that it was because everytime i did talk to her truthfully she always got pissed if it was something she didn't like, and that i'd rather not go there.

Most who may read this have known me for awhile and already know this, but I should clarify for any new readers i may have now or in the future that i do have a very good relationship with my mother, but that's not to say that it's perfect. Sometimes we're like best friends, and sometime's we can be each other's enemies.

But anyway we're good, we didn't fight or anything, it was just a random comment on her part. I love her, she's all i got so...

-----

Ooh, Puerto Rico won Miss Universe! Whoot! I missed the pageant, i totally forgot about it, but yay! We won!! Hehehe! :p

-----

Who's watching The 4400? That show is so damn good! I love it. And i also started watching this show called Fallen on ABC Family, and it's so good!

-----

On a completely random note I guess i should explain why the comments feature is now moderated. And it's because i received a SPAM comment over at my Asia Love blog, and decided to moderate all comments from now on.

Anyway, that's all for now... Hugs!

Pooped!

2006-07-23T01:29:00.000-04:00

I'm so tired, it's not even funny! Everything hurts!

On Friday mom & I mowed the lawn ourselves for the very first time, and it really took it's toll on us. And to make matters worse we couldn't finish it 'cause there's a part of the trimmer we were using suddenly broke. So I have to go to the store today & see if the part can be replaced. So that we can finally finish the job once and for all.

I think my uncle's coming today, unfortunately he's coming with his middle son, my cousin Carlos, whom I despise (we had a falling out of sorts), but oh well... what can you do?

Ok, so what else?

Ooh, of course... how can forget... I have a new blog (like I didn't have enough already, lol). It's a blog dedicated to my love for dolls. I'm doll collector so that's why decided to create the new blog.

If you like dolls too or just out of curiosity you want to check it out, you can do so here:

Hugs!!

Better

2006-07-17T03:43:00.000-04:00

I'm feeling much better today. I apologize for the craziness of the last 2 posts. I have some days like that, where everything just explodes in my face.

But anyway... I saw my uncle again this past Saturday. He looks good. He's walking much much better, he talks normal. He can't move his right hand all that much, though. But he looks good. It's hard to believe it's only been a month & a half since he had the stroke. He's really progressing. It's hard to see him struggle though.

I don't have much to write right now, so i'll just post later in the week.

Hugs!

Perfect by Alanis Morissette

Sometimes is never quite enough If you're flawless, then you'll win my love Don't forget to win first place Don't forget to keep that smile on your face
Be a good boy Try a little harder You've got to measure up And make me prouder
How long before you screw it up How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up With everything I do for you The least you can do is keep quiet
Be a good girl You've gotta try a little harder That simply wasn't good enough To make us proud
I'll live through you I'll make you what I never was If you're the best, then maybe so am I Compared to him, compared to her I'm doing this for your own damn good You'll make up for what I blew What's the problem...why are you crying
Be a good boy Push a little farther now That wasn't fast enough To make us happy We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect

[No need to read this]

2006-07-15T00:25:00.000-04:00

Note: This post is more for me, as a means of letting it all out, so feel free to ignore.

I'm just so tired of everything right now. I'm so tired of nothing good ever happening. It just seems like all the bullshit just keeps piling up. Some people get things so easily in life.

I just wonder what the hell am i supposed to do with my life? What's my purpose? Because had i been meant for something great it would have happened already. Instead i'm stuck here.

What's the point of me being here, of existing? Seriously.

Why can't we get a break? Why do good things only happen to other people?

I just want to leave this fucking place, but i have no means with which to do it.

I feel useless & meaningless.

I'm sorry for all the cryptic words. I just need to write what i'm feeling instead of the actual situation.

Hopefully i'll feel better again soon, and i can post something less stupid and depressing than this.

Huh?

2006-07-05T02:52:00.000-04:00

Things have been a bit crazy around here, hence the lack of updates. I'm feeling sick, maybe i'm coming down with the flu or something... i don't know.

I don't really feel like writing much, so i'll update more later.

Ooh, before i go. I finally saw my uncle on Saturday. More on that later.

Hugs!

Finally!!!

2006-06-24T00:23:00.000-04:00

I finally got my PC fixed! Yay!

The problem was that the power supply stopped working, so we had to pay money we don't really have to fix it, but what are 'ya gonna do? :p

These 2 weeks were torture! But am glad to be back!

Will post more soon!

TTFN!
