Gummy Bear Skeleton

Hi! Today I'm going to show you my current obsession : Gummy Bear Skeleton! I have seen a lot of giant gummy bears but I never saw a gummy bear skeleton which is why I want it ASAP!

Do you recognize this sculptures?

So those are a few sculptures made by an artist called Jason Freeny. He likes to take a famous toy (like Lego, Nemo, Smurfs, etc) and sculpts the interior of the toy so we can see their bones and organs. His creations are quite expensive but he teamed up with a toy company, Framed Masters, and create affordable toys such as the gummy bear skeleton which I love. You can buy it online on Amazon for $47.99 or on Vat19 for $ 43.99

As you can see, it is actually an anatomical puzzle that you have to assemble. It comes with a set of bones and organs in a total of 41 pieces. They also provide a gummy bear shaped clear case to put them in. I think it is super cute and what I like the most is the fact that the top of the skull is removable and we can see the brain of the gummy bears.

Here are the videos about Jason Freeny and the gummy bear skeleton :

LILY

You probably know by now that I like to talk about new gadgets! Well today I'm going to talk about yet another gadget that I've been obsessing about. So I've been wanting a GoPro for the longest time ever but since I've seen Lily, I think I will go for that instead.

Lily or the "selfie drone" is a camera drone that will follow you automatically. To turn it on, you just simply trow it to the air and it will start following and filming you around. You will need a controller that you'll have to wear on your wrist which function as a tracking device bracelet so that it will follow you. It can take a picture or film you from several angles and you can choose the desired angle from your controller.

From what I've read, it is not in stores yet but it available next year. I like Lily Camera because it can film yourself so you don't really need another person and if you have a group picture you don't have to miss one person just because he/she is the one who's taking the picture. Furthermore, it is also waterproof and it has a cute face! hahaha.

But there are some downsides, it has no obstacle avoidance yet meaning it will hit a tree if there is one. So the first generation of Lily is perfect for filming sports such as surfing, snowboarding, soccer, etc. Oh also it is $499 which is expensive for me since I don't spend most of my time for sports I mentioned. In conclusion, just like any other gadgets, Lily is cool but unnecessary in my opinion.

Here's the promotional video of Lily :

Prom Dress Shopping

This post is a little different than my other posts because today I'm going to give you some tips for your prom dress shopping. I know the struggle and the fact that it is hard to find the perfect dress so I hope these tips can help you out!

✿ Mark your calendar

Don't do a last minute shopping because you will be super panic and might ended up picking the first dress you find 'okay'. So when you guys have the date of your prom, mark them on your calendar and set a reminder two weeks before the event. I think it is best if you already have your dress at least a week from any event (sweet sixteen, wedding, prom, etc) so you have to shop at least two weeks before the event. And for those of you who wants to buy them online please remember that there are so many risks including the shipping arrival so do it a month or two before the event.

✿ Research

Okay so this might help if you still have questions about the neckline and stuff before your shopping trip. There are loads of helpful information online such as the best dress for your body type or the best color for your skin tone. It's good to do your research but at the end of the day it is still your choice because you are the one who is going to wear it. So if something you read online for example the suitable color for your skin tone is blue but you are killing the red dress, just take it and don't afraid to break the rule!  

✿  Find inspirations

When looking for a dress, I think it is better if you know what is exactly you want. It doesn't have to be that specific but you at least have to have an idea of your perfect dress whether it is the color or particular model / style. Sometimes it is good to look up some inspiration in tumblr or an online shop that sells prom dresses.

✿ Flexible

When shopping for a dress, you must be flexible of your options! It is okay to change your mind about your perfect dress along the way. If you like the model of a dress you're trying but it isn't what you planned to buy, it is okay to change your mind and buy it. This brings me to my next tip.

✿  Try as many dress as you like

When shopping, sometimes there are some dresses that looks good in the mannequin but doesn't look good on you. Well guess what, if it doesn't look good in the display it might look good when you try them on. Some dresses may look dull at first glance but it might look fab on you when you wear them. 

As I said before, you must be flexible with your options. Let's say that you are looking for a white dress but there's a dress in black with a design that you really love, well guess what you must try them on! Don't passed them just because it's black!

It is important to try every dress that you like because it will help you to compare the dresses. But if you try them on, you didn't regret your decision for your final dress because the one you pick is the dress that suits you the best because many dresses seems lovely but unfortunately unflattering for some of us. 

Another tip is to try move around with the dress while you're trying them on. If it's uncomfortable, don't buy it! It's more important to enjoy the night without worrying about the dress or constantly shifting the dress because it's itchy, too revealing etc. My second tip when you're trying on a dress is to take a picture of you wearing that dress so it's easier to compare and make your final decision which means it is okay if you have to go back to the previous store you went.

✿ Don't be shy to ask questions

You shouldn't be shy to ask questions! like the example above if you like the model of the dress but it was in black and you are really looking for a white one ask the shop keeper if they have it in white or not.

✿ Take your time

My tip number seven is to take your time while shopping. It is okay if you don't find the dress right away. I know that most of your mother won't agree on me with this one since some of them are impatient but you are the one who's going to wear them. So if you have a parent like this tell them before hand that it might take a long time so if they are mad and all you can say that you already warn them before hahaha. OR you can go with your friend instead, it's much more fun and at least you won't have the same dress with them in the day of prom.

Anyways taking your time is important because maybe you'll see a dress that you love at the end of your shopping trip. You don't want to buy an 'okay' dress right? And if you follow my first tip which is to shop way before the event, you still have time to go on another shopping trip and hey maybe you'll find the perfect dress at the second trip. BUT don't take too long! in my opinion three shopping trip is the maximum trip you should take. It might be a good thing to limit the amount of shopping trip you're going.

✿  Shopping buddy

Okay my last tip is to have somebody accompany you when you're shopping. I don't really think that somebody would actually shopping for a dress alone but my point is to take somebody like your sister, mom, or friends because tagging somebody who has the similar or good fashion sense with you is always nice because they might see nice dresses that you didn't spot or give their opinions about it. But again always remember that at the end of the day YOU are the one who will be wearing it (wow I said this too much).

Enjoy your prom!

Happy Pills

Hello! I'm sorry I haven't post anything lately due to my laziness and lack of interesting topics. Anyways, I spent most of my days on tumblr and I saw  an interesting image (well this is not the first time I've seen this picture FYI).

So this is a picture of the product of a confectionery shop called Happy Pills which is located in Barcelona! Like the PMS ice cream, they have a super cute and creative way of packaging their products. They basically put their logo on medical containers such as the first aid kit and pills container. I love the packaging because a lot the labels are so cute which provide the instruction of use and the doses and what it is for such as "It makes you prettier than your friends", "Against Monday", and many more.

I haven't been to the store before because it is only located in Barcelona and it is super far away BUT luckily they do have an online shop if you guys want to purchase anything and best of all, you can customize your own label. Like the packaging, the shop also have the clinic feel from the pictures I've seen in the internet hahaha.

I really want to go to the shop and buy the stickers because I think it's so cute. Well to be honest, it's actually easy to create by yourself because you just need a sticker paper, print the label, stick it on a plastic container, fill it with your favorite candies and boom you are done! But again copyright do exist so you must not do this for commercial use and it's easier to buy them in stores anyways.

In conclusion if you are lucky enough to go to Barcelona, I think it is great if you stop by and buy some of these lovely pills (click here to see their address) because I personally think that sweets are the best medicine for any occasion hehehe.

The bright sight

It is 100% normal to feel sad, unsatisfied or angry at something that doesn't goes as planned. I also have those feelings at least twice a week and people will probably say something like "Look on the bright sight!". Well I used to think that quote is nothing but words because most of the time there is no bright side.

I have been thinking and finally know that being sad or angry is a complete waste of time. Looking on the bright sight surely doesn't change your current situation but it will make you better in some ways. I used to miss the bright sight by expecting  something 180 degrees from the event that caused your sadness or anger but I learned that sometimes it is the simplest and little things that made us happy that day.

Not too long ago, I went to on a trip approximately 200 km away from my house and it took me four hours to get there even though I woke up at four in the morning. Traffic sucks but the bright side, on my case, is looking and enjoying the views that I usually passed with my high speed car. Even if it is only a tree or wild flowers, I enjoyed every single second of it. I was angry because it is taking forever and usually it's only one and a half journey. My car is basically going on a speed of 50 kmph but again I felt happy even if it is caused by the simplest thing.

So, I know that sometimes it is hard to look on the bright sight of every single bad situations (because most of the time it is not as simple as being stuck in traffic) you are having but you should always remember to look towards the light because shadows will always fall behind you J 

I hope you have a great start of the week!

Toy Story

Hi everybody it's Mickey Mouse! LOL

First of all sorry for the lame intro hahaha I just have to type that because it is the first thing that popped in my head. Okay so today I wanted to talk about Toy Story. If you don't know because you are living in a desert or something, Toy Story is an animated Disney movies which I enjoyed watching when I was little.

So I know most of you probably love this movie but if you know me, you know that I think too much and I did think too much after watching this movie as a kid. I enjoy watching it until now but back then but a part of me is terrified after watching the scene where Woody (the cowboy doll) scares Sid (Andy's mean neighbor). The first time watching it, I was like "He is mean! he deserves that" but after watching it again as when I was eight or so, I am terrified.

Well around that age, I rarely play with my dolls and I have a bunch of them. I am so scared that all of that doll is going to attack me while I was sleeping. And they did (in my nightmares of course hahaha) which scared me even more! Plus I didn't remember who actually came up with this idea but me and my cousin ended up watching the scariest thing ever after watching toy story. Guess what? I watched the Chucky doll movie. It was on marathon and we watched it.

So from that day I kiss each of my dolls good night for months. Then I got lazy (typical Mich) and said "Good night every one" instead. And I got over it after a year or so after I watched Chucky. In conclusion, do not let your children watch Chucky under the age of twelve after watching Toy Story. Trust me. It ain't fun.

Crave

For all of my female readers out there, I present you the PMS ice cream that I know you need.

Honestly, I know that some girls who don't crave or be overly sensitive before having their period but it is super cute idea and cute packaging. I love the design and the name for each flavor (I want the strawberry one so bad). And zoom in the picture bellow to see the cute details of the jars.

This PMS ice cream is created by Parker Jones, a college student in Oklahoma. She is actually a design student who got a suggestion from her professor to make a ice cream package and from there the PMS ice cream was born! 

So I'm sorry to say that these ice cream is not on stores ladies but don't frown because you'll never know if she will be teaming up with Haagen Dazs or Ben&Jerry's. I'm just curios will she make another ice cream package for the broken hearted? (just saying)

A Letter

Hey you!

The final exam is finally over! I am so glad that it went well because if you didn't know already I work my ass off for it. I study study and guess what? study on my holidays.

Well starting this day, I will not have any classes in school and will be back next month for my graduation. Yep my graduation from high school! I am really happy that my stress and pressure is somehow lifted. *sigh* I still remember my first day just like it was yesterday.

My first day was fun, I was super duper excited going to school wearing my uniforms and all that, seeing my friends, meeting new friends from different schools, seeing friends from my elementary school after separated for years, entering my new class and seeing my new....everything. I love them all.

I love all of the memories sitting and enjoying classes in the tenth grade. And spending my Saturdays dressing up for a sweet seventeenth birthday parties or dinners. I remember the stressful days where we have too many test and assignments even on the holiday. The days where we all curse and asking the world "why the heck people say that high school is the best years of your lives?!" or desperately joking that we would actually prefer to get married (although we were all single) instead of studying LOL.

And then my senior year, we all seems to have our own path.  Having our own goals and dreams which is getting much more closer. Many of us entering various preparation courses to enter the university of our dreams. I remember those days we spent applying to the university, creating our personal statements, having the entrance test and anxiously waiting for the result.  Then came our tests, practical exam and our final school exam. We were studying even harder to graduate. Even tough we are super fed up with our try outs and exercises, we still did it anyway.

Finally our last duty in as a senior high school student, the national exam. Three years in studying is suddenly examined by a test which consist 40-50 numbers. Three years and 40 numbers. Wow. Afraid? Heck yeah. Now it is finally over.

After years stressing, studying, joking around and laughing in the same school, the same halls, the same classes and that same friends that grow more and more over the years, I can finally say that high school is and always will be one of the best years of my life. And for that I also say thank you for being a part of my high school days.

Sincerely, 

Mich

Smart Tech

Smart phone has been a big part of everyone's life. But now I think all of you probably know there are more smart gadgets emerging within the past decade and smart phone is only the beginning. Today I want to share smart gadget that some people probably didn't know before so no, I am not going to talk about the Apple's smart watch.

The first one on my list is a smart suitcase! So there is a tech company called bluesmart who invented this fist ever smart luggage which is going to be released in October. I found out about this from a youtuber Sonia Gil in her channel Soniastravels which is filled with travel tips that helped me so much when I am traveling around.

Okay what is so smart about this suitcase? well it has cool features such as :

✿ Digital lock

Digital locks are great because nobody can't mess around with your stuff. And bluesmart have an app connected to your luggage so you can lock and unlock them from the app.

✿ Battery charger

This smart luggage is not only used for keeping your clothes but also charge your phone and other gadget which is cool because everybody know that not every airports have enough charging stations and you can't have your phone with a low battery since you are carrying a luggage with an app connected to it and accessed by your phone. So well thought bluesmart! (Oh I forgot to mention that this post is not a commercial thing where I get paid etc, so I just posted this because I want to share the awesomeness of this luggage)

✿ Location tracking 

Location tracking is very useful in my opinion because I know there are some unlucky people out there who experienced losing a luggage which sucks so worry no more you can track them and catch the culprit I guess.

✿ Built in scale

Over packing is a huge problem because you have to pay more just for packing too much clothing. I think this feature is very useful especially when you are packing for your journey back home because when you are packing at home before your trip you could easily scale them with your scale but not every hotel has a scale laying around and you don't want to scale them in the airport right?

✿ Proximity alerts

Another cool feature is a proximity alerts, so the app can give you a reminder or alerts if your luggage is to far from you. Pretty cool huh?

It is not released yet but I love them already! I didn't know many details about it but here's the promotional video

The second smart tech I want to share is a smart pen by  another company called Livescribe. No it's not a stylus but it is a pen connected your iPad or other gadget such as laptops. Like the luggage I have mention this pen is also connected to your iPad with an app which is always great. It is just like a regular pen where you can use them on paper but what ever you scribble and writes will be transfered digitally in the app. I just knew the existence of this product few days ago but it is apparently been here since 2008! And today we have the third edition which is crazy for me because I never heard of them!

Okay so basically, if you purchased this pen, you will also get a notebook where you could write on. I don't really know about this but I guess you can transfer your writings if you write on this special notebook they give. I think this is kind of a disadvantage for this pen because you have to buy a special book (and special ink cartridge apparently). BUT I think it is also a good thing because the book also have some cool feature, they have buttons on the bottom (it is not a three-dimensional button but more like a printed picture) that you can tap with your pen to record what the teachers are saying which is pretty cool to have and really helpful for studying.

I think this smart pen is great because from a student perspective it is a great learning experience. And I would love to convert my writings into text and then copy them in the lecture power point or a soft copy from a teacher also insert the audio of the explanation. I think it is a really great way to study. Enough for now, I actually have more but this is a long post already hehehe. Okay, I hope you have a lovely day! And happy April!

'92

Okay this is silly and weird but I just realized (after a long term research) that……there are so many appealing male celebrities born in 1992. Don't believe me? well here are a few names : Alexander Ludwig, Freddie Highmore, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Nathan Kress, Logan Lerman, Taylor Lautner and Nick Jonas. See? well not everybody born in 1992 is handsome or cute. Many of my local celebrities and relatives is not as appealing as Taylor Lautner hahaha #sorrynotsorry but seriously it is a weird yet amazing phenomenon right? . Well okay, honestly this post really sucks but I have a reason why I post it anyways. It is because I have this thought since forever and need to share this to you guys because I know you didn't realize this not-so-important-but-you-gotta-know fact. So your welcome.
