picture spamming

Because my assignment has taken up much of my vocabulary, all that's left of my abilities are to take pics and spam my own blog with it. Pics of...food! More like snacks actually, but really good ones. I actually got inspired from all the food blogs and was very much tempted to start one of my own,a snack blog, but when I thought about the idea, it didn't seem like a good one. Not cause I don't eat snacks often, I do, but really, how often would I actually remember to stop and take out the camera before munching on the snack and proceeding to tell my mom (or anyone closeby) the snack's really good (or in some case, horrible)?

So on with the photos, first up...Cheez Dippers. They are so good and make healthy(a somewhat protein source) snacks as well. It's not too cheesy that you'd get sick of it after a while, but just right to make you fall in love with it and attempt to open a second pack.

Excuse the torn look, my mom had decided to rip it up before I actually made up my mind to take a pic of it. Sigh.

There are actually four packs in one box, and each pack has different designs. I ate one pack without even bothering to take a pic, so it explains the missing one pack from the pic.

Unfortunately the few sticks of biscuits provided weren't enough so I had to add on with a few other cheesy sticks that my mom bought the same time as she bought this.

And this is the finish result....empty. It's so bloody good that I just couldn't resist grabbing the scond pack and munch on it as well. Hehe.

Next up...dark chocolate digestives from Marks & Spencer. Now THIS is a really good snack, that is if you don't mind all the chocolatey-goodness. RM7.20 a pack, a value buy from the current Mega Sale period. Hehe.

It looks a little weird cause unfortunately I am not a photographer or anyway close to one, but anyway, my brother helped to hold the chocolate biscuit before grabbing it for himself.

I wonder how long can I keep this snack-snapping-posting thing up. I'm pretty sure less than a week. If it does go more than a week, then I will be sure to set up another blog for it instead. So whenever I feel all bored or hungry or feel like my home's seriously lacking of good snacks, I can just go to the blog and stare at all the delicious snack pics that I took. Lol. Right, I sound slight insane here.I resized some of these pics to give a nice transitional look from one to another, cause that was one design element that I had observed from this really awesome blog. Some may not notice it, but the different size of the images helped to make the food in subject much more appealing.Okay maybe not so much when seen here cause of my horrible photography skills, but really, it does make a good design element.

Anyway, few weeks back...I stated that I actually went all the way to Kino in KLCC just to get college stuff and a magazine, or two. So cause I was somehow in a very happy mood last Thursday (also cause of the infectious happy-feely music I was playing) I started snapping pics from the magazine cause I was just way to lazy to actually scan them up. I liked the images alot cause it was so colorful and bright, which brought me into an even happier state.

I think...the earlier ones were from WinkUp and the ones of Takizawa are from Potato & WinkUp. Both magazines featured the six, but somehow I like the ones on WinkUp alot more. Hehe. I remember however, commenting to friend, about a month ago, what kind of magazine company would actually name themselves WinkUp or Potato for that matter, which absolutely does not makes sense at all. Until I came to know of these guys. Well, turns out these are the few out of many other Japanese magazines that focuses mostly on the JE guys. All from SMAP (though rather infrequent, I think), V6, to Arashi, KAT-TUN and the rest of the adorable younger JE juniors.

This is what I called...a very worthy buy. The magazines were all wrapped up in plastics so I had to take my chances in buying what I thought would feature them the most.

Kame is so good looking! His smile is really charming and incredibly childish at times that it just makes a person blush (okay maybe it's just me). He was on a talk-game show with the rest of the guys recently and there was this game where they had to play sumo with this really experienced (and huge) lady. The rest had a pretty tough time with her and he was up third. Out of all of them, he was the only one that didn't ended up with a fall. All Kame did was smile brightly at her and she suddenly felt slightly embarrassed and immediately stood up to look away. He kept grinning! Even the host had to tell the lady not to lose her confidence and not weaken her resolve against Kame. The rest of the guys were claiming unfairness the whole time. Lol.

THE poster. I still don't have the heart to separate it from the magazine at all.

Besides those 6 guys, my interests does not solely lie on them only. There's also the gorgeous Takizawa Hideaki. Lol. He.Is.The.Perfect.Japanese.Guy. (though most would disagree and pick Takuya Kimura instead)

Well worth of RM...55.15 spent. Though it still hurts to know that the RM50 just flitted away with the purchase of these two magazines. Sigh.

Continuous spam as I'd very much like to hold off from my assignment as long as possible. Well, I have completed it just that it needs to be edited. ALOT. Adding everything together is about...3000 words? So I have to cut it down to half...to 1500 words. How in the world am I going to do that, I have no idea cause every point made is pretty important and relevant to me. I mean, how much can I edit when the assessment is based on the depth of my critique for the two readings, and the level of engagement with the 9 issues in mention? If I edit too much, it would make it senseless and somehow lacking of explanation, thus making baseless statements and losing credibility. Oh joy.

He really looks like a girl from time to time. Lol.

Yuichi looks so innocent here!

Yuichi with one of his special talents, beat-boxing.

And that's it. Off to my assignment again. Sigh.
