Cupcake Love

Can I have this please?


How awesome is this?!? It combines two of my loves, cupcakes and Dr. Pepper. I don't think I could have anything better hanging around my neck and it's only $5! This comes from Funky Recycling, an Etsy shop. 

Lately I've really wanted a cool baseball hat. I steal my cousin's hats all the time and wear them (he hates it) because they make me feel cool and gangsta. I look really good in them. Look what I found? Isn't it amazing? I REALLY REALLY want it!! I sound like a little whiny kid, huh? 

This piece of awesomeness comes from Johnny Cupcakes. It's only $60. Who wants to get it for me? I really like this one, but I'd be happy with any color combo. There are even some hats on ebay starting at $30. My birthday is only 3 months and 9 days away. 

If you want more ideas, refer to this older post.

Or everyone could just pitch in together and get me the one gift I'm DYING to have, a KitchenAid mixer. Hey, I'm turning 21. Since I'm not going to drink or party like other 21 year olds, I might as well dream big for my gifts, right? I think that's some perfect logic right there.

Don't take this post too seriously, it's just wishful thinking. I don't expect to get all this.

"Tears of joy are like the summer rain drops pierced by sunbeams." ~Hosea Ballou

My aunt, Angie, decided to post the video I made for Sunhee on Facebook. Everyone loved it and why wouldn't they? It's pretty amazing. I guess it caused like every female that watched it to shed tears, happy ones. I thought it was both flattering and funny. I seriously laughed when I was reading all the comments. Not because I think it's ridiculous that they cried, but it's a one minute video. I'm surprised it touched so many people, but I'm happy with this outcome.

I've re-watched it multiple times myself because I'm just so proud of the way it turned out! I especially love the music. I had no idea what song I was going to use when I made it. It was hard to come up with one that would go along with the video. I'm also amazed that the timing of the music worked out so well. The video just flows (Apparently like everyone's tears. Haha!).

I hope I have a reason to make another video soon.

Happy Birthday Sunhee

So I decided to be a little ambitious today and make a video for my sister's birthday. I've never made a video and edited it before. It took a lot longer than I thought it would. Part of it was my fault for redoing the video like 30 times before I was happy with it (sometimes I blinked too much, the cards were turned sideways from a previous take, my smile looked fake, etc.). I admire people who make videos and are good at it. It was hard to get the music lined up just right and to end up with a finished product I was proud of (though the video quality is a tad poor). I hope you like it Sunhee because I worked hard on it just for you and I hope you had a fabulous day!
