I just found this perfume while i was researching play-doh for my advertising class. and I had to post it!
I mean, ok. Celebrating 50th birthday.
But, fragrance?
So, you spray this thing on you and someone would talk to you,
"hey, you smell like.... just like play-doh...."

wth.
i mean i love play-doh. it's fun, soft, smooth, colorful.
and yes it has its own smell. which is not bad.
But I think no one would likely to keep this scent all the time.
I don't want to be smell like play-doh.
I hope they did not go for mass production.

Toylands

Operation: Toyland from clemento on Vimeo.

ToyLand from Maria Bowskill on Vimeo.

Here's how to make this 'toy land' effect by Maria Bowskill who made second one.

Frankie I just duplicated the layer then masked round the parts I wanted in focus and then blurred out the rest to about 10 I think it was and feathered the mask about 6 to 10 then added some slight curves to both layers and a more redish curve to the in focus layer. and did a speed remap on it all. pretty simple. I guess to give the illusion that it's a miniature, you would be looking down onto it.

So when i saw the first one, i was thinking 'wow, it would take forever to make these little things and things really move naturally'
and now, i figured out it was REAL!
and I feel STUPID!

i'm addicted to family guy

▼Click below to watch family guy, glee, it's always sunny in philadelphia for free.

For me watching tv is just a good way to spend some time when i've got nothing to do. just sit back, have some snacks, watch commercials, music videos, cartoons, shows or what. all good.
But I'm not really a tv person.
Since I don't have tv in my room I don't even know what shows are on tv nowadays. So I've been enjoying watch shows from my laptop. I just download whole seasons and watch them day by day. When I was in high school, i watched mtv 'laguna beach'. well, there was nothing special on that show, but i just kept watching them somehow. And mtv provides whole seasons on their website free, so it was convinient to find. But I got bored so quickly.(as I said, that show was about nothing but some random chicks' daily lives.) Later I watched 'That 70s show' and I really enjoyed the show! I guess I like the fact they are about 'Wisconsin'. GB Packers, stern father, womanly mother, and highschool kids who want to have some fun but theres nothing they can do in Wisconsin. lol I've been there! So I ended up w/ watched whole 8 seasons.

Then I watched some of South park, Prison break, Gossip girl (I know, so random), The hills, the Simpsons. But none of them were great.
And this year, I've been watching family guy, glee, it's always sunny in philadelphia. Once again, I don't have tv, so i really don't know about any other shows. These shows are recommended by my friends. and also I could easily watch from their website.(free)
and I must say, I love Family guy! It's kinda hard to make me laugh. If it's from tv, it's even harder. But this show really makes me laugh. I just love those random stuff. sometimes it's way to random thou. and sometimes they go too far. But well, I really need to cheer myself up, and make myself laugh. There was this episode called 'Road to Multiverse'. Stewie and Brian go thru these whole universes like everythings drawn by Disney, ruled by Japanese, dogs rule human and so on. hilarious.

you can watch 'family guy', 'glee', 'it's always sunny in philadelphia' and more at

Product review - Humidifier

← Click it to purchase from Amazon.com

This is my new cool mist humidifier.
I have this terrible allergy, my throat hurt so bad during winter.
My dorm started to turn the heater on, so my room got so dry.
It was hard to breathe when I wake up!!!!
That's why I need a humidifier. To keep some moisture in my room.
So I searched humidifiers online, and unexpectedly there was a variety!
And of course, since I'm so into kids stuff,
things like penguin, piggy, and elephant were catching my eyes....
And there,
THOMAS THE TANK
The mist rises from Thomas' smokestack,
so when the steam comes out, it looks like Thomas is alive.
Well, compare to others, it really makes sense!
Penguin doesn't spit steam out of its mouth.
Steam doesn't come out from elephant's nose. (or..does it? not sure)
So yes, I had to buy this one.
It took 3 days for shipping.
It's bigger that i thought but not heavy.
It doesnt look like a humidifier at all. it seems like an adorable toy or deco or whatever.
Unlike other normal humidifier, It acts as a night light too.
And there are these lamps. Two in the front, two in the back. Just like a train.
I was super excited just like 5 years old and I am NOT ashamed. ha ha
Not really noisy, easy to use, cool looking, works well.
yap, five stars.
I'm definitely bringing this one back to my home.

See how it works.↓

I still don't have any place to put this thing on.

From the beginning to now and every details, like the cook in their company.

but I think this is the common thought we have for each other.
And yes, some of them are so true.
But I take a shower in the morning, so...
