Day 1 of handwriting challenge

Here 15 days of handwriting I said I would do the challenge. So here we go.

Day 1. What do you think of your handwriting?
It's pretty nice and easy to read. And I am a fast-writer but the readability doesn't suffer.
Of course my Armenian, Cyrillic and Latin letters differ. I have a handwriting for every alphabet I know.

And if I write a lot at a time, my handwriting will change every three lines or so. It's never the same for the whole piece.
So that's it.
Tune in for day 2 of this challenge.

Countdown till the premiere of Harry Potter 7.2

Narcolepsy

This is what you get when you have sleeping disorders. A post about food and feet in the middle of the night.
So.

We'll start with the pancakes I made for breakfast. I had 4 and almost exploded. They were yummy, and I mean it.
These are the best pancakes I've ever had in my entire life. And this coming from a person who has never ever tried a single pancake, brah.
I know. But these look delicious and are delicious. I mean, were =)

The recipe was slightly changed. I ditched bananas and orange what's-that.

You will need (my comments in brackets):

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 2 Tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt (just salt)
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 3/4 cup skim milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla (1/4 tsp or less if it's powdered vanilla)
• 1 teaspoon orange zest (nope)
• 1 large, ripe banana, mashed (nope)

If you need the instructions you can go directly to that site. I'm pretty sure no one reads this blog, so yeah) go and check out the instructions.

And my feet. I'm so tired now but I can't sleep. So I took my camera, lay down and started shooting my feet (and toning my abs at the same time, yay)

Oh, you can see the seagull from here, and some pics on the wall (I've already shown you my new wall!!!!)
And I started signing my pics with just name and surname. I just get confused with the quantity of the blogs I have and I can't make a signature for all of them =)

In Portsmouth

With my EF kids. Miss them. Miss the Isle of Wight and all the EF people =)

My new wall!!!!!!

(exclamation marks cuz I'm super exited about having it already!)
Ok. I've been collecting pictures, postcards and cutouts from magazines for quite a long time now. And I was waiting and waiting and waiting for the perfect bulletin board (aka cork board).

This is JK Rowlings board, image from Harry Potter Lexicon

 Perfect means the exact size I want. Here's what I tell you. There are no bulletin boards perfect for me. *le sigh*

Then I decided to make one myself. I found out the prices for cork sheets (big boards) and I said to myself. No, thank you! Too expensive.

Then I found out about drywall! It seemed like the perfect thing! The only problem was - it doesn't look too good.

The best photo of drywall, believe me! (from treehugger.com)

I thought I'd just paint it some pretty pastel colour. Or I also had an idea of covering the whole sheet with pretty canvas. And then framing it.

But as everyone knows I don't like complicated stuff. I usually go the easiest way!
And this morning I just knew I had to do it.
I remembered I had double-sided tape somewhere. Couldn't find it. And then an idea popped up in my sleepy head! You can use regular tape in a special way so that it won't be seen AND it want ruin the picture once you decide to move it!
Ok, here's the secret)

Apply the tape to the back of your picture the glued side facing the front.

Fold the tape at the edge of the picture, and now the glued side is facing backwards.

Done! You can pin it anywhere you want. Well, my walls are painted. But I'm using special tape which is sticky enough to grab the wall and the picture, but not too sticky, so that I can easily remove it from both paper and painted wall.

Finally, here's the wall I decorated. It's not much. But I love love love it! Can't wait to wake up to this tomorrow morning =)

Colourful, right?

And here's what I did to it using Picasa editing stuff)

Pretty, huh?

Two sisters divided for the love for a king.

Just finished watching "The other Boleyn girl". What a sad story. I would hate to live in that era. Full of lies, intrigues and betrayal.
I didn't read the plot summary and any of the reviews, so I enjoyed the movie greatly! I haven't enjoyed any film other than comedy or romantic movie so much lately. I cried a lot, I almost wept at some moments.
I can not truly hate any of the characters, they all are the victims of their society.
And men are so easy to manipulate. Any girl (and I mean it), any girl can make a man do whatever she wants him to do.

Oh, and I love Natalie Portman now. Want to see the Black Swan.

ps. And yes, I don't care if the film is not true to historic events.

Burgers! Yay!

so recently i'vу become addicted to burgers. Not some fast food stuff but nice homemade ones.
I usually use a small mixed grain bun, then some sauce, meat component, vegetables (sometimes pickled) and cheese. You can't go without cheese!
I'll just post some pics of them (Yes, I take pictures of my food!)

1. These two were made with different sauces. Curry and Sweet&Sour. Both Heinz production. I am a Heinz addict! Since like 2007. Then there are in both of them pickled cucumber and pickled hot green pepper. Plus a meat patty steam cooked, which is much healthier than frying. Also note the pink cup from my collection. It's so cute, I use it for hot cocoa or hot chocolate. And the orange one with dots, also from my collection. I prefer having tea in it. The wine bottle is used as a candle holder.

2. These two have same Sweet&Sour sauce. Then this sausage, it is called boiled (cooked) and has these little pieces of fat. I had it lightly fried. Pickles, Cheese and a leaf of lettuce. And my rainbow cup. I had red hibiscus ginger tea in it.

3. This third picture features a not-so-good burger. I used fresh veggies, and I didn't like it. I'm going to give it another try tomorrow and will make the slices thinner. Sweet&Sour Sauce, 2 cheese slices, 2 tomato slices, 2 cucumber slices. And the good old steam cooked meat patty. And one of the latest additions to my collection. This teacup with tea cup pattern. Isn't it cute with the pink and white polka dots?

 And I have to add, these are very tasty and very nutritive. I had 2 in the morning (at about 9am) and wasn't hungry long after 6pm. And that's something)
Hope you liked this yummy post.
Come back for more.

And I would choose any 1 of these burgers over any 2 of Wendy's, McDonald's or Burger King ones any day.
