<p>From Trader Joe&#8217;s and the local Food Co-Op. (I love their goodies!!!!!)</p>
<p>TJ&#8217;s has the best chocolate soymilk ever.</p>
<p><a title="025" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5339210445/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5286/5339210445_e2a7215364_m.jpg" border="0" alt="025" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>Not too <em>thick</em> like the <span style="color:#800000;">Silk Chocolate soy milk</span>; juuuuuuuuuust right. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  And each is <em>only $1.69</em>!! That&#8217;s pretty cheap/afforadable! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a title="026" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5339226619/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5127/5339226619_9ba76167a4_m.jpg" border="0" alt="026" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000;">Brownie</span> (<em>without</em> the cinammon &#8211; <em>tastes 100 times better</em>!!), <span style="color:#ff9900;">PBChocolate bar</span>, and<a href="http://www.bobosoatbars.com/"> Bobo&#8217;s Oat Bars</a>. (Chocolate for me, PB for him) <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  My bf ate both the PB bars in <strong>one day</strong>! What a peanut butter monster he is <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  (the girl on the <a href="http://www.bobosoatbars.com/">Oat Bars </a>is really cute!) <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  They seem to have lots of <a href="http://www.bobosoatbars.com/flavors.aspx">other flavors</a>, like <span style="color:#993300;">Almond</span>, <span style="color:#ff6600;">Apricot</span>, <span style="color:#ffcc00;">Banana</span>, <span style="color:#c0c0c0;">Coconut</span>, and <em>much more</em>!!</p>
<p>Got luna bars in a box for the first time ever.</p>
<p><a title="027" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5339242593/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5202/5339242593_f4b7ec864c_m.jpg" border="0" alt="027" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>15 in each. It&#8217;s the same price no matter how you buy it <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  This is my emergency food, in case the school loses power or something.  <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a title="028" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5339258891/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5289/5339258891_f53556a9f3_m.jpg" border="0" alt="028" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p><em>Do you think I got this at the food co-op?</em> <strong>Nope! </strong>Actually from Trader Joe&#8217;s, too! (The food co-op has it for $3.75-ish) While at Trader Joe&#8217;s, it&#8217;s $2.99!!!</p>
<p><a title="056" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5339810035/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5243/5339810035_a52c3f0992_m.jpg" border="0" alt="056" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>Same thing with these tooth brushes! It was also $2.99 at TJ&#8217;s!!! (around $4 at the co-op!) <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif' alt='8O' class='wp-smiley' /> Recently, throwing stuff away was becoming a concern for me (thinking about how it stays in the landfill) I can recycle these at the <a href="http://www.preserveproducts.com/recycling/how-gimme5-works.html">Preserve Gimme 5</a> located at Whole Foods. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I can recycle any &#8220;5&#8243; marked containers here (like hummus containers, yogurt containers, etc.) too!! Awesome program!!</p>
<!--YouTube Error: bad URL entered-->
<p>This video we watched in English got me thinking about it. (&#8220;This is <em>not</em> an environmental class!&#8221; is what my teacher likes to say) <strong> I decided to make as much toiletry products </strong>(shampoo, soap, conditioner, etc.) that I can, because really, <strong>I think that now is the right time to stop being selfish and think about what&#8217;s happening to the planet</strong>! <span style="color:#ff0000;">**</span><span style="color:#33cccc;">DIY <span style="color:#ff00ff;">Lip balm </span>post to come!!</span></p>
<p>As of now, I already use <span style="color:#ff6600;">homemade conditioner</span>. (2 tbsp <span style="color:#ff0000;">apple cider vinegar </span>+ 5 seconds squirt of<span style="color:#ffcc00;"> lemon juice </span>+ <span style="color:#00ffff;">water</span>) This has been working out <em>really good </em>for me. It&#8217;s actually <em>helping my hair grow <strong>faster</strong>!!! </em>I was surprised by this result, so I recommend people using it and continue using it!</p>
<span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://sagojyousvegnpage.wordpress.com/2011/01/13/weekly-purchases/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/pfq000AF1i8/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span>
<p>This video got me thinking: <strong>&#8220;What the heck are all those chemicals that<em> I&#8217;m </em>putting on my head?!&#8221; </strong>Looking at the ingredients and searching what they were, they were actually <em><strong>petroleum</strong></em>!!!! Scary?<em> Yes.</em> Want something better? <em>Yes.</em> Apple cider it is? <strong><em>YES!!!</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><a title="052" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5339792343/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5086/5339792343_c9563b46cd_m.jpg" border="0" alt="052" width="240" height="180" /></a></em></strong></p>
<p>Buys Round 2. The chocolate chips and coconut butter were used to make my <a href="http://sagojyousvegnpage.wordpress.com/2010/12/27/recipes/">Nut Free Chocolate Coconut Butter Spread</a>.</p>
<p><a title="016" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5339788262/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5250/5339788262_1528cb8ba5_m.jpg" border="0" alt="016" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>I love big clips: I like paper clips!!! They keep everything organized, don&#8217;t they? <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>New Finds and Eats!!!</p>
<p><a title="061" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5340439772/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5085/5340439772_28f2a36f45_m.jpg" border="0" alt="061" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>Finally found the <span style="color:#33cccc;">Chocolate Dipped Coconut</span>!!!! And I found <span style="color:#993300;">Chocolate Chunk</span>, too!! (WF&#8217;s was doing a beauty section make-over) The <span style="color:#33cccc;">Coconut </span>one was great! The taste and smell of coconut was good, but it was very oily <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  (photos to come soon!) The <span style="color:#993300;">Chocolate Chunk </span><em>tasted like<strong> coffee</strong>!! <span style="color:#800000;">Yes it is chocolate</span></em>, but it had a <em>slight</em> coffee taste. Coffee-lovers might  like it <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>This local bakery reopens on February 1st!!!</p>

<p>They have vegan pretzels, and I want to go check &#8216;em out! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love when it&#8217;s <span style="color:#ff9900;">sunny</span></p>
<p><a title="013" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5339158745/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5242/5339158745_a33904d6c4_m.jpg" border="0" alt="013" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>But it&#8217;s very <span style="color:#999999;"><em>snowy</em></span> right now <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  I hope it melts soon so we won&#8217;t  <strong><em>slip &#8216;n&#8217; slide </em></strong>on the streets!</p>
<p>I <em><strong>got a haircut </strong></em>on the 2nd of this month. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a title="012" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5339737768/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5245/5339737768_ac15371578_m.jpg" border="0" alt="012" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>That&#8217;s <em><strong>a lot</strong></em> of hair gone! (12 inches + -ish?) I really wanted to <em>donate it</em>, so (without giving second thoughts &#8211; like usual. Ha ha) before I left for my dorm, I went to Great Clips and got it cut. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  (I don&#8217;t really care where I go to get a haircut because <em>I go maybe around every two or so years</em>.) I hope they can make a nice wig out of it, because I was growing it out for a <em><strong>loooooooooong time</strong></em>! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Didn&#8217;t get this photo in time, but</p>
<p><a title="001" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5339095271/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5288/5339095271_edb7b5259d_m.jpg" border="0" alt="001" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>A <span style="color:#ff6600;">traditional Southern soup </span>my BF&#8217;s mom made. For New Years <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  It tasted <span style="color:#003300;">bitter</span> and<span style="color:#003300;"> strong</span>; never tasted something like this before. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>And my dinner on Sunday. Because I come back from home to my dorm, I usually feel like not going to the dining hall and just <em>enjoy eating in my room watching tv</em>. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>The amount of<span style="color:#ffcc00;"> fries </span>they gave me was scary &#8211; it took me <strong>two days </strong>to finish it! Ha ha! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve made a whole container of <a href="http://sagojyousvegnpage.wordpress.com/2010/12/27/recipes/">this</a> as well.</p>
<p><a title="016" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5339788262/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5250/5339788262_1528cb8ba5_m.jpg" border="0" alt="016" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://sagojyousvegnpage.wordpress.com/2010/12/27/recipes/">Nut-free Easy Chocolate Spread</a>. <em>Never hurts to have it!</em> You can roll these into <span style="color:#0000ff;">balls</span> or <span style="color:#0000ff;">put them in molds </span>and freeze it to make a little snack, too! I tried it, and it&#8217;s pretty tasty! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Ahh, the chocolate!</p>
<p>When I came home, I got a letter from <a href="http://threesisterscereal.com/instant-oatmeal/">three sisters</a>. I emailed them asking if their <span style="color:#800000;">chocolate oatmeal </span>was vegan (and it&#8217;s not). They emailed me back saying no, but I got <em>this</em> in the mail!</p>
<p><a title="043" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5340012638/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5090/5340012638_526e900d00_m.jpg" border="0" alt="043" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Coupons! </strong>They actually gave me an <span style="color:#ff9900;"><em>extra</em></span> 75 cents off coupon. Whoops <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  But that&#8217;s okay. I&#8217;ll be using it. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So about the title. For my <span style="color:#99cc00;">grandpa&#8217;s birthday<span style="color:#000000;">,</span></span> we had a <strong>sushi party</strong>!! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Who doesn&#8217;t enjoy<em> that</em>? <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a title="044" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5340029930/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5129/5340029930_861e8a4914_m.jpg" border="0" alt="044" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">From the left</span>: <span style="color:#993300;">Brown rice with rice vinegar</span>,<span style="color:#ff0000;"> vegan tuna</span>, <span style="color:#008000;">edamame</span>, nori, <span style="color:#ff99cc;">salmon</span>, <span style="color:#00ff00;">romaine hearts</span>, <span style="color:#ffcc00;">cheese cake </span>(a little hidden behind the romaine hearts, <span style="color:#ff00ff;">sea bream</span>,  <span style="color:#993300;">brown rice with vinegar</span>, and nori. (&lt;- on both sides of the table because it&#8217;s a pain to reach over to the other side) <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Close-up of my side:</p>
<p><a title="046" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5339454635/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5047/5339454635_274382c6de_m.jpg" border="0" alt="046" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Vegan tuna</span>:</p>
<p><a title="045" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5339436373/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5001/5339436373_b01e643c49_m.jpg" border="0" alt="045" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s vegan tuna + vegan mayo to be more specific <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  This one<em><strong> tasted better </strong>than the one you can get at Whole Foods</em>. (I get headaches when I have theirs &#8211; lol - <em>too much chemicals, perhaps</em>)</p>
<p>I bought this <span style="color:#ff9900;">cheese </span>to go with the sushi.</p>
<p><a title="054" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5340493026/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5121/5340493026_128d0e8397_m.jpg" border="0" alt="054" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p><em>Who thought sushi with <span style="color:#ff9900;">cheese</span> was good?!</em> I liked it!! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  It gave it a<em> mild taste</em>!</p>
<p>And <span style="color:#ff0000;">pickled plum paste </span>+ sushi = <strong>Heaven!!</strong> <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a title="050" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5339490647/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5123/5339490647_107aacbf94_m.jpg" border="0" alt="050" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>Yeay for sushi mats because then it can be made perfect! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a title="048" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5339472677/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5241/5339472677_371117e134_m.jpg" border="0" alt="048" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Food post! </strong>Just too much (non-New Years related) pictures to put on the previous post. <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Recent buys:</p>
<p><a title="NewYears 002" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5314617351/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5210/5314617351_87f5a53b7a_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 002" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>Ran out of <span style="color:#800000;">Whole Wheat Flours </span>because I was <em>making pancakes like crazy</em>. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  And though I decided to cut out Kombucha, I wanted something <em>fizzy</em>. Thought it was better than having a soda. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  (but I had some of my brother&#8217;s anyways)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.honesttea.com/kombucha/apple_jasmine/">Honest Tea&#8217;s Apple Jasmine Kombucha</a>: This had a fair taste of <span style="color:#ff0000;">apples</span> (and the smell too). It tasted like it was watered down <em><strong>A LOT</strong></em>. (compared to<a href="http://www.synergydrinks.com/home.aspx"> Synergy </a>or <a href="http://www.vibranzbev.com/">Vibranz</a> kombucha) But if you want a light &#8220;fizz&#8221;, it&#8217;s okay. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a title="NewYears 003" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5315219632/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5210/5315219632_e23eb469e9_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 003" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>And I wanted to make <a href="http://www.loveveggiesandyoga.com/2009/10/vegan-chocolate-pb-chex-mix-broccoli.html">Averie&#8217;s Chex Mix</a>, so I bought this <a href="http://www.kashi.com/search?query=island+vanilla">Kashi&#8217;s Island Vanilla </a>a while ago. As a cereal, it&#8217;s not sweet. Too hard, and it gets soft too easy. I like &#8220;<em>crunchy</em>&#8220;, but this wasn&#8217;t &#8220;crunchy&#8221; at all. I like my <a href="http://naturespath.net/products/granola?tid=88&amp;brand=All&amp;nutri=All">Hemp Granola Cereal </a><em>waaaaaaaaay </em>better. <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>This next one was buy one get one free special (and it was only $2.59 each), so I bought it. <a href="http://threesisterscereal.com/instant-oatmeal/">Three Sisters Instant Oatmeal</a>.</p>
<p><a title="NewYears 008" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5314630003/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5089/5314630003_f5e1ac19e0_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 008" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>The package that the oatmeal was in is very convenient and eco-friendly. Open the package, and fill it up to the line with water; no cups needed! Very convenient.</p>
<p><a title="NewYears 010" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5314635533/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5046/5314635533_7882eba790_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 010" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>But the oatmeal part of this:<em> EW</em>. Oatmeal is the most <em>bland</em>, <em>disgusting food </em>I&#8217;ve ever had. It&#8217;s<em> mushy </em>and tasteless; it&#8217;s lacking &#8220;crunchiness&#8221; so much! Yes that&#8217;s how oatmeal is <em>supposed</em> to be, but I <strong>hate</strong> it. XP I will eat it up (or maybe use it in a recipe?) though; don&#8217;t like wasting food. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a title="NewYears 015" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5314641195/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5086/5314641195_d15e373686_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 015" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>Tried adding it in <a href="http://www.wholesoyco.com/our-products/6oz-soy-yogurt/vanilla/item/vanilla-2">Whole Soy &amp; Co&#8217;s Vanilla yogurt</a>, which made it a little flavorful.</p>
<p>Also bought this at Whole Foods, and these are<em> yummers</em>!!</p>
<p><a title="NewYears 022" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5315277666/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5207/5315277666_c16dbda3b3_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 022" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>A little bit on the dry side, but not going to complain. It has <span style="color:#ff6600;">less than<em> 10 ingredients</em></span>, and it&#8217;s like Chips Ahoy! but <span style="color:#008000;"><em>vegan</em></span>!!! I&#8217;ve wanted cookies like that ever since going vegan (in a package with about 20-25 cookies each), and it<span style="color:#3366ff;"> costs technically<em> the same</em></span>! ($3.69) I&#8217;m willing to buy it again, but that&#8217;s if I&#8217;m <em>craving cookies on the dry side</em>. (I like TJ&#8217;s cookies better; <em>super-moist</em>!!)</p>
<p>This is always fun to eat:</p>

I like their <span style="color:#008000;">Superfruit juice</span>, too! We&#8217;re good friends. <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I bought a different Kombucha for New Year&#8217;s Eve. </p>
<p><a title="NewYears 023" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5314692255/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5163/5314692255_ba4cb2db57_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 023" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kombucha-Botanica/500423735153">Kombucha Botanica Hibiscus</a>. This one tasted good! (looks like beer lol) Not too watered down like the above one, very fizzy, and I was able to taste the <span style="color:#ff0000;">hibiscus</span>! If you&#8217;re going for a <em><span style="color:#99cc00;">stronger</span>, <span style="color:#ff99cc;">flowery</span> one</em>, then this one&#8217;s better. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Recipe!</strong> <span style="color:#ffcc00;">Eggless Egg Salad</span>!!</p>
<p><a title="NewYears 019" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5315247474/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5123/5315247474_b537e3c44e_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 019" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>From <a href="http://peta2.com">peta2</a>&#8216;s<a href="http://www.peta2.com/STUFF/s-twoWeekVeganMenus.asp"> 2-week vegan recipes</a>. The recipe makes it into a sandwich. I didn&#8217;t. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style="color:#ffcc00;">Eggless Egg Salad</span>:</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Ingredients</span>:</p>
<ul>
<li>1 package of extra firm tofu (drained) &#8211; it better be firm because if it&#8217;s soft, it does <em>NOT</em> seem like eggs!!!</li>
<li>1/2 cup of vegan mayo</li>
<li>1 1/2 tbsp of dejon mustard</li>
<li>1/4 tsp turmeric (for yellow color)</li>
<li>2 &#8211; 3 stalks of green onion (chopped &#8211; optional) &lt;- I didn&#8217;t add any</li>
<li>1/4 cup relish</li>
<li>salt and pepper to taste</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Steps</span>:</p>
<ol>
<li>Mash tofu.</li>
<li>Add in all other ingredients.</li>
<li>Eat!</li>
</ol>
<p>You can put it into bread of course! Then it will yield 4 servings.</p>
<p>I <em>doubled</em> the recipe because I <em>added an extra package </em>of SOFT tofu (that&#8217;s all I had), then<strong><em> it tasted plain</em></strong>. (I still have some left) The <span style="color:#808000;">sourness of the relish </span>makes it taste really good, and I made this into a sandwich as well, and it tasted<strong><em> just </em></strong>like real egg salad sandwich!! If you like egg salad, it&#8217;s worth a shot to give it a try! <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  I think this will be a<strong><em> staple </em></strong>at my house!</p>
<p>They also have a <a href="http://blog.peta2.com/2009/12/peta2_sandwich_of_the_week_guest_blog.html">Tuna</a> recipe, and<em> I&#8217;m looking forward </em>to making this too! (but first, I need to use up my relish&#8230;Relish tastes really good!) <em>Maybe I&#8217;ll have an egg salad sandwich for lunch everyday in college</em>! (sandwich is<em> convenient</em>, I <em>don&#8217;t have to pay a high price for my lunch </em>at the dining hall, and I <em>won&#8217;t have to go back up to my room every time </em>for lunch!) Hm, maybe! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Lesson learned: buy relish at TJ&#8217;s, because they are<em><strong> WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY</strong></em><strong> </strong><em>cheaper </em>than Whole Foods ($4.99 vs $1.99; both <em>organic</em>)!!! Both preservative free. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy New Year! 2011 is here!</p>
<p><a title="NewYears 024" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5315186266/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5203/5315186266_9b1aa1cc90_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 024" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>Taken on New Year&#8217;s morning around 9:30 am. There&#8217;s an orb on the top left! Good things are to happen this year!! It snowed two days ago, and there&#8217;s still some snow left in the back!</p>
<p>Traditional Japanese New Year&#8217;s Food:</p>
<p><a title="NewYears 025" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5315198096/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5006/5315198096_9c4f79a92e_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 025" width="240" height="180" /></a> Osechi &#8211; meal filled with considered-lucky food (beans, prawn, etc.)</p>
<p><a title="NewYears 026" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5316797698/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5044/5316797698_c6e68a1990_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 026" width="180" height="240" /></a> Futomaki</p>
<p><a title="NewYears 027" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5316223481/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5126/5316223481_3475a7c3bc_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 027" width="240" height="180" /></a> Inari (my fave!!)</p>
<p><a title="NewYears 032" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5316889766/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5086/5316889766_e5b54d05b9_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 032" width="240" height="180" /></a> Dried Persimmons. It it said that if you find lots of seeds in it, you&#8217;re lucky!</p>
<p>And the not-so traditional food:</p>
<p><a title="NewYears 021" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5314672217/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5124/5314672217_ae2fbcd7cc_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 021" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p><a title="NewYears 029" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5316834900/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5008/5316834900_39528b8bc8_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 029" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p><a title="NewYears 030" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5316851750/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5242/5316851750_c3dbf8357d_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 030" width="240" height="180" /></a> For the boys &#8211; meat &#8216;n&#8217; cheese &#8216;n&#8217; crackers!</p>
<p>Our tradition is to play the <span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Game of Life</strong></span>. It&#8217;s our <em>9th year </em>playing it! (we&#8217;ve been doing this for a while now!) I&#8217;m always the banker because I like to be in charge of things. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a title="NewYears 036" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5316354811/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5248/5316354811_a8775a3ac8_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 036" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>I was last in place, but hey! Calculate the $$s and guess what! I won!!</p>
<p><a title="NewYears 040" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5318247909/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5205/5318247909_6ee8e9f2c3_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 040" width="240" height="180" /></a> </p>
<p>Highest $$ so far in the 9-year tradition! (and my dad got the lowest of the all-time.) Wow! I feel even luckier! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  (my grandpa and my little brother thinks I cheated because I&#8217;m the banker &#8211; uh, no! <em><strong>THEY</strong></em> are the ones that would cheat if they were the banker!) <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>And while being the awesome banker, I was nibbling on this fun chocolate from the vegan store that my bf bought me. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a title="NewYears 033" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5316317483/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5084/5316317483_f682e86396_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 033" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>

<p><a title="NewYears 038" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5316968628/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5050/5316968628_5202d5c757_m.jpg" border="0" alt="NewYears 038" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m back in my dorm, and barely anyone&#8217;s here! Perhaps a good time to go buy textbooks tomorrow morning and figure out where my classes are <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Lets reverse this night owl schedule and get up early!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Though I had a big list that I wanted to finish today, the math homework was more teeeeedious than I thought, so I didn&#8217;t get through them all.

<p>One-page paper for my Japanese School! The ones that we all have to write every year near the end of the school year (so they can book it and give copies to everyone). It was tough and scary to write (nice, final paper, super-fancy pen, etc.) when I was little, but not anymore. This is my last one, and I&#8217;m just glad that I&#8217;m done with it! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Teedious math homework:</p>

<p>At least when I looked through the text book, I started to remember how to do it <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I was quite proud of <del>me</del> the <em><strong>human mind</strong></em> for it to <em>remember things </em><del>that you know you&#8217;re not gonna use</del> that&#8217;s not<em> super-necessary</em> in life. (unless you&#8217;re going to become a math teacher like <em>me</em>. Then you might need it) <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Then this month&#8217;s VegNews came to the rescue!</p>
<p><a title="12.28.2010 006" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5302616670/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5003/5302616670_4980a602d6_m.jpg" border="0" alt="12.28.2010 006" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve read through it pretty quickly, so once I&#8217;m done with my homework (and before I go to bed), I want to take my time to read it more carefully. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  It has <em>a lot </em>of information on<strong><em> health </em></strong>this month, so I&#8217;m <span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>super-excited </em></span>to read it!</p>
<p>Today for lunch, I had two pancakes (out of a box that my mom had to use up)</p>
<p><a title="12.28.2010 004" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5302605410/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5090/5302605410_83e776b239_m.jpg" border="0" alt="12.28.2010 004" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>Pancakes taste better with <span style="color:#993300;"><strong>Agave </strong></span>I tell you! I tried maple syrup, and it just wasn&#8217;t sweet enough. <img src='http://s2.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  No more maple syrup in my house! (but of course earth balance is needed <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> )</p>
<p>Today, after picking up my little brother from BB, I went to the dentist to pick up some rubber bands for my braces, and while I was driving back, I found a sign that says &#8220;<a href="http://www.boehmscandies.com/catalog/">Boehm&#8217;s Chocolate</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>So vroom I turned and drove! Found it, it was a very cute place (with very cute Scottish-like uniform), but the<em> smell of MILK chocolate bothered me </em><strong>A LOT</strong>. Wow, I&#8217;m <strong><em>REALLY</em></strong> sensitive to things like this now! It&#8217;s quite impressive! (didn&#8217;t have my camera!)</p>

<p>I bought a big (about 2.5 inches in diameter) coin chocolate and a racecar chocolate for my bro for a whopping $1.50. (dang, that&#8217;s cheap for a special place!)</p>
<p><a title="002" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5302685542/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5042/5302685542_a79e5f112c_m.jpg" border="0" alt="002" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>Then we drove back, (oh yeah, he bought a whole pack of Whole Food&#8217;s 365 Key lime soda. $2.39; $2.62 after tax. It was funny how my bf didn&#8217;t hear me when I was sort of yelling in the store. Ha ha <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Then he came back with a sample of<a href="http://earthbalancenatural.com/soymilk/"> earth balance&#8217;s chocolate soy milk</a>. Hm, I wonder if that&#8217;s good?)</p>
<p>And we went to <a href="http://www.danielsmith.com/">Daniel Smith&#8217;s Art Supplies</a> to go buy some copics!</p>
<p><a title="001" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5302085525/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5043/5302085525_04bcdec4e1_m.jpg" border="0" alt="001" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p><em>Super-expensive</em> pens!! $5.67 <strong>EACH</strong>!! (but that&#8217;s actually cheaper than other art stores, who sells them for $6.49. Gaah! 8O) With just <em>two</em> of these pens, Michael and I could go buy a meal from <a href="http://www.waywardvegancafe.com/">Wayward Cafe</a>!! Oh well. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;m an artist and I can&#8217;t (and won&#8217;t) change that.</p>
<p>From bottom up:<span style="color:#ffff00;"> Yellow</span>, <span style="color:#ff0000;">Crimson</span> (&#8220;<span style="color:#ff0000;">red</span>&#8220;), Black, <span style="color:#800000;">Leather</span>, and<span style="color:#ffcc00;"> Dandelion<span style="color:#000000;">.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffcc00;"><span style="color:#000000;">Michael&#8217;s parents gave me a <em>$30 gift card </em>for here as a Christmas present, so I used that. (thank you so much!!). But the machine didn&#8217;t recognize it, and the cashier lady had to get help, so we ended up waiting for about 5-10 minutes. (but the cashier guy who re-did it at a different machine gave me a student discount! Yeay! $31.47 to $28. 51!) <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  <em><strong>Sometimes, waiting is good</strong></em>. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffcc00;"><span style="color:#000000;">I&#8217;m going to change my sleeping schedule. Sleeping at 12 is<em><strong> NOT</strong></em> going to work for me (because I want to get up at least at 6 when school starts). That means I have to go to bed around 10:30, and get up at 6. TV is a good motivation for me to get up in the morning during school, so I will use that again! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffcc00;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Tomorrow&#8217;s To-Do List</span>:</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color:#ffcc00;"><span style="color:#000000;">Work on math homework (do history the day after, so it won&#8217;t be a work-overload)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color:#ffcc00;"><span style="color:#000000;">Read VegNews</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color:#ffcc00;"><span style="color:#000000;">Call J</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color:#ffcc00;"><span style="color:#000000;">My mom&#8217;s been doing a<strong><em> REALLY </em></strong><em>good job </em>cleaning the house for the last couple of days. I&#8217;m really proud of her, and really thankful for her!! <em>Thank you mom, good job, and you are an amazing house-cleaning mom!</em> (of course you&#8217;re just the <em><strong>perfect mom for me</strong></em>! <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> )</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffcc00;"><span style="color:#000000;">I added another present that I received from Michael on the <a href="http://sagojyousvegnpage.wordpress.com/2010/12/27/gifts-i-received/">gift post</a>!</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few buys before and after Christmas, because I needed/wanted them. <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Before Christmas</span>: Shirt from Kohl&#8217;s</p>
<p><a title="Christmas 014" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5298355411/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5205/5298355411_f1460570d7_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Christmas 014" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>THIS IS SO CUTE!!!! AND I LOVE WHAT IT SAYS!!! I was looking for an inspiring shirt, and when I found this, I <strong>HAD</strong> (WANTED?) to get it, so it was mine! A bit on the pricy side ($15.95?), and the shirt is veeeeeeery thin, but it&#8217;s still cute and I will wear this so much that it will be worth the money!! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  (thank you, dad!!) This shirt totally sounds like me, and I really <strong>LOVE</strong> it!!</p>
<p>And this month&#8217;s Women&#8217;s Health came in on Christmas Eve (great timing, huh?)</p>
<p><a title="Christmas 017" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5298362813/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5285/5298362813_376d87a59f_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Christmas 017" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>Olivia (on cover) is <strong>VEGAN</strong>!!! I realized that the second time around reading this magazine!!! (she went vegan last January, and she&#8217;s sticking with it!! Woo hoo!) Now I like her <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  (though before this, I had no idea she existed &#8211; lol)</p>
<p>And she said she&#8217;s not an exercising-person, which made me feel glad, because&#8230;me either!! I would go once in a while when I have time, but otherwise, no. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Buys after Christmas</span>:</p>
<p>New Camera Case from Target</p>
<p><a title="Christmas 033" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5298443527/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5201/5298443527_730640f9d9_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Christmas 033" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>Right when I got a fancy one (which turns out to be $20.99! Holy wow! That&#8217;s quite expensive! 8O), why get <em>this</em> one?! <strong>BECAUSE I WANT TO HAVE IT AROUND MY NECK SO I WON&#8217;T LOSE IT!!!! </strong>I don&#8217;t want to lose my camera again, and if I had it around my neck, I&#8217;ll always have it safely, so <em>that&#8217;s </em>why!!</p>
<p>The black string attached on the photo is the part that&#8217;s going to go around my neck. Right now, I&#8217;m hanging it down from a door knob so the string would straighten out. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I really love the <span style="color:#ff00ff;">pink</span> and the <span style="color:#ff00ff;">floweriness</span>! It&#8217;s very fitting to my hand, too!! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  The inside is<span style="color:#ff9900;"> orange</span>, with a pocket for a memory card or two. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>And a DS game holder!!</p>
<p><a title="Christmas 034" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5299052222/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5249/5299052222_6a50b59a4f_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Christmas 034" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>Recently, I&#8217;ve been getting more games than I would have ever thought I&#8217;d have. (I&#8217;m not a big DS-game player. My brother is, though!) But now that my brother got me <span style="color:#ff0000;">M</span>&amp;<span style="color:#339966;">L</span> RPG 3 <strong>AND </strong>2 (I know, different names in English, but &#8220;RPG #&#8221; sounds easier!), I realized that I can&#8217;t just carry it in a case with one game holder in it. So I bought this. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  (my brother has a ton, but he wouldn&#8217;t give it to me. Oh well. This was the kind I wanted anyways) <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  So a good buy this is!!</p>
<p>And now that<strong> pokemon Black </strong>is coming, I really <em>do</em> need a case! (because by then, I&#8217;ll have a total of 4 DS games.) That&#8217;s A LOT for me.</p>
<p>I like my Japanese games better <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Because by the way they talk (&#8220;dialects&#8221;), you can tell soooooooooo much about that person! That gets erased in English, so when I played M&amp;L 2&#215;2, it made me a little sad. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  I wanted to know how each person was speaking. (so on the opposite hand, M&amp;L 3 was really fun! The guy&#8217;s talking in an Osaka-dialect!! <em>Awesome for a game right there!!!</em>)</p>
<p>And today, we watched this cute movie!!</p>
<p><a title="Christmas 030" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5299030504/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5288/5299030504_6eb02994f0_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Christmas 030" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve actually never seen a pooh movie, so I got to know the characters a lot better than I knew of them!! (then my bf slept&#8230;Oh well. He&#8217;s cute) <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  It was really nice of them to try to be Tigger&#8217;s family, and I teared up a little when he realized that his &#8220;family&#8221; was there aaallll along&#8230;:)</p>
<p>Now I have to go finish my homework that my lil&#8217; brother gave to me out of no where! (he got it last week and&#8230;forgot to give it to me!) I thought I was finshed, but apparently not! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  I will finish it tomorrow, and perhaps go buy copics!!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>To-Do This Week</strong></span>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Buy Black, Red, Yellow, (and perhaps skin color) Copics</li>
<li>Finish Japanese homework (math 1 &amp; maybe 2, final writing, and history test &#8211; ahhhhhhhhhhh!! At least it&#8217;s take-home for me!) <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
<li>Call J. (Sorry!)</li>
<li>Go to the dentist for rubber bands!! (10 Tues!)</li>
</ul>
<p>My relative went to Egypt!! Holy OMG!!! I&#8217;m not interested in the sphyinx; I love PYRAMIDS!!!</p>
<p>I set up the desktop for my new camera today, so that was an accomplishment! Doing it in Japanese took about twice as much (and it came out in all question marks), so I reinstalled it (after un-installing it) in English, and much better!</p>
<p>Yesterday&#8217;s dinner was at Teapot, and we got &#8220;<span style="color:#ffcc00;">Fried Chicken</span>&#8221; and <span style="color:#993300;">Phad See Yew</span>! My mom sure loves Phad, and my bf suureeee loves Fried food!! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;m okay with both, but honestly, I like miso soup the best! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Ooh, and <span style="color:#993300;">chocolate</span> too!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been enjoying this for the last couple of days, because it&#8217;s just like Nutella, but <strong>vegan</strong>, and it&#8217;s like <a href="http://www.justinsnutbutter.com/">Justin&#8217;s nut butter</a>, but <strong><em>better</em></strong>, because it&#8217;s<em> <strong>nut-free</strong></em>!! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Easy Chocolate Spread</span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Ingredients:</span></p>
<ul>
<li>1/2 bag of chocolate chips</li>
<li>3-5 tbsp of coconut butter</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Steps:</span></p>
<ol>
<li>Scoop coconut butter into microwave-safe bowl and melt it in the microwave (time depends on micro &#8211; I did it for a minute and it started to burn)</li>
<li>Dump CC into melted coconut butter and microwave it for about 40 seconds.</li>
<li>There may be CC left, but don&#8217;t worry. Stir the mixture, keeping in mind that you&#8217;re trying to melt the CC. It DOES melt, but if it doesn&#8217;t, feel free to put it in the microwave and micro it for 10 or so seconds.</li>
<li>Stir until CC chunks are gone, and that&#8217;s it!</li>
<li>(opt) Put it in fridge to make it a little bit hard and more like a &#8220;spread&#8221; (because it&#8217;s really liquidy right after it&#8217;s done)</li>
</ol>
<p><a title="Christmas 020" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5298971900/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5169/5298971900_9e44f4264d_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Christmas 020" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeasy!!!!</p>
<p><a title="Christmas 021" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5298377903/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5005/5298377903_83b33829e2_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Christmas 021" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>Very convenient, too! I put this in a regular container and took it with me, bought bread (we were out), and spread it in the car! No wasting container (like those squeezable Justin&#8217;s nut butter), and because it&#8217;s made of coconut butter, it&#8217;s easy to wash off! (compared to pure ONLY chocolate melted. Those are SUPER-hard to wash off!!)</p>
<p>I would eat this straight, but why would I do that? I&#8217;d rather just use it as a spread. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  And this saves me from buying <span style="color:#800000;">Cocoa bliss</span>, because you can make chocolate spread with coconut butter, but you can&#8217;t make coconut butter with cocoa bliss! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  (unless you can take out the &#8220;cocoa&#8221; part out of the &#8220;cocoa bliss&#8221;&#8230;Ha ha) <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>And today, I wanted SOMETHING. Don&#8217;t know what, but I wanted SOMETHING. So I figured, lets make something!</p>
<p>Made <a href="http://www.loveveggiesandyoga.com/2009/10/raw-vegan-donut-holes-5-minute-recipe.html">Averie&#8217;s Raw Vegan Donut Holes</a>, but the Flax Seeds weren&#8217;t sticking!!! (maybe because I didn&#8217;t use a FP to FP the seeds! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> ) So then I thought: &#8220;What can I put in that would still be healthy and make this stick?&#8221;</p>
<p>BF: &#8220;&#8230;Agave?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Oooooooooooh, right!!&#8221; The wonderful sweetness of Agav! (like the &#8220;Wonderful Wizard of Oz&#8221;. My brother likes singing (and doing the cute dance &#8211; lol) at random times, and it makes me laugh every time! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> ) So we squirted some (1 tbsp?), and FPed it. Got better, but still not sticky enough.</p>
<p>The light bulb went on: &#8220;Butter? No. <span style="color:#800000;">Coconut Chocolate Spread</span>!!!!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>So I put the left over from today&#8217;s lunch (about 3-4 tbsp) in the FP with the Flaxseed mixture. (note: melt it before using, because it hardens pretty good)</p>
<p>&#8220;FP, GO!!&#8221; Then I let the FP run for a minute or so, and voila! It was PER-fect! Started rolling into balls (Michael, don&#8217;t wash your hand with dish soap next time &#8211; lol), and bam!! Cocoa powder-free (my body doesn&#8217;t work with it), chocolate doughnut holes!!</p>
<p><a title="Christmas 032" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5299037710/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5285/5299037710_62a2183cdf_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Christmas 032" width="240" height="180" /></a> Yields 13</p>
<p>This was good, but maybe I should buy the finely-grounded flax seed instead, because the pieces are still a little too big! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Lesson learned!</p>
<p>Next, recent buys!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I realized that the days up <em>til</em> Christmas is more fun than the actual <em>day of</em> Christmas. I like the spirit and the atmosphere people and the city provide. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;m <em>still</em> listening to Christmas songs! (Glad <a href="http://warm1069.com">Warm 106.9</a> still has their <a href="http://warm1069.com/listenlive/">Listen Live</a> stream player!) Obviously this isn&#8217;t live, but that doesn&#8217;t matter. I like Christmas songs and that&#8217;s that. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://sagojyousvegnpage.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/car-029.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1482" title="MM Christmas" src="http://sagojyousvegnpage.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/car-029.jpg?w=300&#038;h=200" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>On Christmas day, I woke up around 9 and didn&#8217;t fall back asleep. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  (usually would, because there&#8217;s no school, but Christmas day is one of those days where I <em>should</em> get up early, so everyone can open their presents)</p>
<p>Gifts I received&#8230;</p>
<p>From Santa are: ﻿﻿﻿A <a href="http://www.nikonusa.com/Nikon-Products/Product/Compact-Digital-Cameras/26211/COOLPIX-S3000.html#Champagne Silver">Nikon Coolpix 3000</a> (which didn&#8217;t let me get a photo off of the internet),</p>

<p>and a <em><strong>hand-made</strong> bracelet </em>in a<em> handmade gift box </em>made out of old greeting cards! (First I thought it was a gift that his sister got and gave it to me &#8211; I thought that because of the box. Sorry! And the types of beads, colors, and the pattern shows his personality, and it represents me really good! I love it!!)</p>
<p><a title="Christmas 012" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5298900660/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5042/5298900660_6a2a3cc256_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Christmas 012" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>

I&#8217;ve played all of them (1-3), and this is the cutest!!!)</p>
<p>Now the<a href="http://www.petacatalog.com/products/peta2_I_Am_Not_a_Nugget_Notebook-221-0.html"> peta2 notebook </a>is $0.49, and the <a href="http://www.petacatalog.com/products/peta2_I_Am_Not_a_Nugget_Stationery_Box_Set-219-6.html">peta2 pencil box set</a> is $1.99!!! What a <del>rip off</del> deal!!! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  People, buy things <em><strong>AFTER</strong></em> Christmas!!! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Eats on Christmas was like this:</p>
<p><a title="Christmas 002" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5298324571/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5085/5298324571_1856662daa_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Christmas 002" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>Bunch of junky food, but oh well. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I had pancakes instead.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Before:</p>
<p><a title="Christmas 003" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5298992152/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5082/5298992152_89c92f8d19_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Christmas 003" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>After:</p>
<p><a title="Christmas 037" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5299058988/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5204/5299058988_276f4ab70d_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Christmas 037" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>Ta-da!! I took off the tape today!! I really wanted to, and it doesn&#8217;t look as bad as I thought it would. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Other side:</p>
<p><a title="Christmas 038" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5299065436/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5246/5299065436_e1031cabc5_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Christmas 038" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>This side was the better side. (because the other side had more move-arounds to do) I&#8217;m glad I&#8217;m healing! (but needs to put on ice pack more&#8230;)</p>
<p>Cute eat before surgury:</p>
<p><a title="Car 031" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5298347895/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5170/5298347895_35e97af422_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Car 031" width="240" height="160" /></a></p>
<p>Vegan Snowman Marshmellow!! Mmm, it was soooooooooft!</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m able to eat food like this:</p>
<p><a title="Christmas 028" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52547184@N06/5298398541/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5010/5298398541_84dbb227d0_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Christmas 028" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>Japanese Seaweed + Salt potato chips. Each chips had lots of seaweed on it, and it was very salty. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  (my bf likes American Potato chips better)</p>
<p>And</p>

<p>Haupia &#8211; Hawaiian Coconut &#8220;jello&#8221;. It tastes like coconut!! But not super-strong, so I&#8217;m okay with it. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi all! How are you doing today? <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>First of all, I added some new drawings on my <a href="http://sagojyousvegnpage.wordpress.com/artworks/">Artworks Page</a>!</p>
<p>One of the &#8220;most searched&#8221; things on my blog was this drawing below, so I put it under the Artworks page, so you don&#8217;t have to go find it. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img src="http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/260/4/3/girl_looking_into_the_future_by_sagojyousartpage-d2yxtfi.jpg" alt="" width="398" height="304" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m actually really happy that this one&#8217;s popular. (^^)</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been into making some <a href="http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=5138.0">pancakes</a> recently (reasons to come&#8230;later. Maybe), but I just don&#8217;t get <em>when to flip it</em>!!! D: 90% of the time, it ends up being<strong> burnt </strong>:/ Tips anyone??</p>
<p>Oh! I know what else to write about! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;ve been enjoying some new products.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.fote.com/images/products/38_prod.jpg" alt="" width="158" height="217" /></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Fruit of the Earth&#8217;s </span><a href="http://www.fote.com/prod_skin_lotion.html">Vitamin E skin care cream</a>! It contains<span style="color:#33cccc;"><em> ingredients that are pronounceable </em></span>(yeay!), it <span style="color:#ff99cc;"><em>smells really good </em></span>(lotion smell, but not strong at all), and <em><span style="color:#339966;">it&#8217;s working very good</span></em> on my skin!!! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  You can get it at <a href="http://www.bartelldrugs.com/index.jsp">Bartell Drugs </a>or any other drug store <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>And <a href="http://www.evolutionofsmooth.com/products_lip_sphere.html">EOS</a>&#8216;s <a href="http://www.evolutionofsmooth.com/products_lip_stick.html">Vanilla lipbalm</a>!!!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.evolutionofsmooth.com/images/img_stick_van.jpg" alt="Vanilla Bean Lip Balm Stick" width="264" height="288" /></p>
<p>This company&#8217;s lip balm products are <span style="color:#339966;"><em> 95% organic</em></span>, <span style="color:#ffcc00;"><em>100% natural</em></span>, <span style="color:#ff00ff;"><em>not tested on animals</em></span>, <span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>weird chemicals </em></span>(paraben, petrolium, pthalate)<span style="color:#ff0000;">-free</span>, and<span style="color:#0000ff;"><em> it lasts for a while</em></span>!!! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  It has a<em> sweet, vanilla scent</em>, and it&#8217;s not strong on the lips.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also tried their <span style="color:#ff00ff;">Summer Fruit Lip balm</span></p>
<p><img src="http://www.evolutionofsmooth.com/images/img_sphere_sum.jpg" alt="Honeysuckle Honeydew Lip Balm Stick" width="242" height="258" /></p>
<p>and <span style="color:#33cccc;">Sweet Mint</span></p>
<p><img src="http://www.evolutionofsmooth.com/images/img_sphere_mint.jpg" alt="Honeysuckle Honeydew Lip Balm Stick" width="252" height="290" /></p>
<p>I recommend the <span style="color:#ff00ff;">Summer Fruit </span>lip balm if you love <span style="color:#ff99cc;"><em>fruity flavors</em></span>, and I recommend the <span style="color:#33cccc;">Sweet Mint </span>if you&#8217;re <em><strong>REALLY </strong>into <strong>STRONG mint flavors</strong></em>!! This was <em>too strong </em>for me, so I&#8217;m going to stick with the <span style="color:#ff00ff;">Summer Fruit</span> and<span style="color:#ffcc99;"> Vanilla Beans</span>.</p>
<p>They are on a bit pricy side for a lip balm (ranges I&#8217;ve seen are from $2.99 to $3.49), but they are worth it for their quality, and how it&#8217;s not tested on animals! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  They also have <span style="color:#ff0000;">Pomegranate Raspberry </span>and <span style="color:#33cccc;">Sweet Mint</span> for the smooth stick, and <span style="color:#ffcc00;">Lemon Drop spf 15</span>,<span style="color:#00ff00;"> Honeysuckle Honeydew</span>, and <span style="color:#ff6600;">Medicated Tangerine </span>for the smooth sphere. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I personally like the <em>smooth sphere </em>(the round lip balm) more, because you get <em>3 more grams</em> (4g vs 7g) than the smooth stick<em> for the same price</em>!! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;m cheap like that <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>What lip balms do you use? Any one&#8217;s that you recommend? I hear people like <a href="http://www.burtsbees.com/natural-products/lips-lip-care/beeswax-lip-balm.html">Burt&#8217;s Bee</a> and <a href="http://www.kissmyface.com/lippages/lipcarepage.html">Kiss My Face</a>, but for anyone who uses those, how is it?</strong></p>
<p>For my vegan life style, I like <a href="http://merryhempsters.com/">Merry Hempster&#8217;s Lip balms</a> too! They are available at Whole Foods for $2.49 each. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img src="http://www.vitacost.com/Images/Products/200/Merry-Hempsters/Merry-Hempsters-Vegan-Hemp-Lip-Balm-Vanilla-009030000066.jpg" border="0" alt="Merry Hempsters Vegan Hemp Lip Balm Vanilla" /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Merry-Hempsters-Lemon-Lime-Vegan/dp/B000VUWUPW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;s=beauty&amp;qid=1293046563&amp;sr=1-4"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21-GoHPNQBL._SL160_AA160_.jpg" border="0" alt="Product Details" width="160" height="160" /></a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/MERRY-HEMPSTERS-Organic-Hemp-Peppermint/dp/B0016AXA8M/ref=sr_1_cc_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1293046602&amp;sr=1-1-catcorr"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41d3vqmT67L._SL160_AA160_.jpg" border="0" alt="Product Details" width="160" height="160" /></a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Merry-Hempsters-Orange-Vegan-Hemp/dp/B000VUWUXO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;s=beauty&amp;qid=1293046624&amp;sr=1-4"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21fnPt%2B2kiL._SL160_AA160_.jpg" border="0" alt="Product Details" width="160" height="160" /></a></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">From left to right</span>: <span style="color:#ffcc99;">Vanilla</span>, <span style="color:#ffcc00;">Lemon a</span><span style="color:#339966;">nd Lime</span>, <span style="color:#0000ff;">Peppermint</span>, and <span style="color:#ff6600;">Orange</span>. Some of them have<em> sunscreen protection</em> (spf 15) in it, which <em>I am more than certain that <strong>I&#8217;m allergic </strong>to</em>, I can&#8217;t use, and they irritate the skin. But <em>flavor-wise</em>, <span style="color:#ffcc00;">lemon a<span style="color:#339966;">nd </span></span><span style="color:#339966;">lime</span> and <span style="color:#ff9900;">orange </span>are pretty tasty, <span style="color:#0000ff;">peppermint </span>isn&#8217;t as strong as <span style="color:#33cccc;">Sweet Mint</span> from above, and this <span style="color:#ffcc99;">vanilla</span> tastes more laid back then the <span style="color:#ffcc99;">vanilla beans </span>mentioned above.</p>
<p>This company makes &#8220;<span style="color:#339966;">Organic</span>&#8221; <em>and</em> &#8220;<span style="color:#ff00ff;">Vegan</span>&#8221; lip balms, so <em>read carefully </em>to find which one <em>you want </em>(because the organic one is<em> NOT </em>vegan).</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it for my product reviews today! After Christmas, I&#8217;m going to <em>bust out my camera</em>, <em>take photos</em>, and I&#8217;m going to give you a <em>quiz</em>, so be looking forward to it! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The weather&#8217;s nice, and I&#8217;m off to being a <del>stalker</del> secret santa for my bestie who <a href="http://sagojyousvegnpage.wordpress.com/2010/03/05/woooohh-wi/">let me use her oven on a school night</a>! <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Have a good day and thanks for coming! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>I haven&#8217;t been around recently. But in those &#8220;recent&#8221; times, I was browsing through google reader, and I wondered&#8230;</p>
<h2>Should I really post about what happens in my life?</h2>
<p>I mean, do other people out there care? Is anybody curious about it?</p>
<p>Me? I <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>love </em></span>reading about other people&#8217;s lives! Then, I get to see what they&#8217;re doing, and make interesting finds!</p>
<p>This is <em>my</em> answer, but just because this is what<em> I </em>think, it&#8217;s not going to be true for<em> every single person</em>.</p>
<p>So I have to ask,<em><strong> do you want to know what happens in my life?</strong></em></p>
<p>That&#8217;s it for today. I&#8217;m going to go off to wonderland <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Good night and thanks for coming!</p>
<p>P.S: <del><span style="color:#000000;">My mom</span></del> <span style="color:#ff0000;">Santa</span> got me a <span style="color:#339966;"><em>new camera</em></span>! I&#8217;m <em>super-excited </em>to using it! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
