Self made "quick and ready to eat" food

Its been yet another long long time since I last blogged... and I'm surprised this page actually got 20k views. Yay me. But unfortuntely life is never kind and so as time goes by I've been getting more and more commitments and is making casual blogging a hard thing to keep up with...

That asides, I'm a second year student now! Finally my failure streak seems to have halted a little... I do hope it lasts.

Right, as usual, anime I watch this season (well, last season by now) is Sword Arts Online which I definitely recommend, Accel World, Campione!, Hagure Yuusha no Estetica, Jinrui wa something, Dog Days Dash, Eureka Seven AO and many more! Yes as you can see my internet is back! Though I'm still in the process of  getting good quality internet which is enough for my use. I'm currently in Australia, living in Kingsford.

... god knows why I just "said" that but moving on, games. Ever since I left UK my console games are no longer in existance, so I've been busying myself with pc games. So far I'm hooked with War of the Immortals (WOI) by Perfect World Entertainment. Its a nice game... not very cute but nice to play. I'm also back to playing LoL but as expected the lag and my PC FPS lag is making me a horrible player... I even die in beginner bot games! But someday...

Finally as the title says:

You know most students go bout saying "I can't cook", "No time to cook", "No cooking equipment" and lots more. So here's something that even a loli can do... provided she has ADULT SUPERVISION. Don't want to injure a cute loli now would I?

What you need:

A rice cooker. A small one is fine. I use a normal mechanical one so I don't know if those fancy electronic rice cookers will work or not... but who knows? XD

Some salt.

Some pepper, black is best but anything would do really.

Those tomato pasta sauce which you can find at your local supermarkets easily

Some pasta, I recommend Fusilli since its my favourite, but again anything goes.

Some coriander (paste if you want)

Some garlic,

Some water.

Some oil, olive oil works best.

Optional stuff:

Onion Salt

Cheese (Grated)

Lots of love... just kidding :3

Basil (Paste also works... I use paste alot cause its clean and easy XD)

Instructions:

Clean your rice cooker. Don't wanna get food poisoning now. Make sure its dry and put in some oil. Just enough to cover the base is fine. Next put in some butter. The amount is as you like, try experimenting to see how much you like best. Close the lid and press down the cook button. It should stay in the cooking position automaticlly, but if it doesn't just hold it down for abit.... Keep it like that till the butter has melted completely. Next put in the garlic, some salt and if you have onion salt. Stir bit and turn back on the heat (by pressing the cook button) and sit around for about 20 seconds... hum a tune while youre waiting or if you're muslim like me dzikir a little. Next put in the pepper, coriander and if you have the basil. Again stir and heat up for about 40-50 seconds. Next pour in the pasta sauce, again up to you. More sauce means stronger taste. If you have cheese put 3/4 in now. Stir abit and turn on the heat for about 1 minute. We're 4 minutes in by now usully, and youre pasta sauce is complete. You can serve this with pasta normally if you want; you know, preboiled pasta on a plate waiting for its sauce; or if you're like me and alwys "busy" to bother having to pour/prepare sauce just to eat, you can put in the raw pasta into your sauce, sitr around abit, add some water until you just cover the pasta in water stir around abit more, close your rice cooker and press the cook button and leave it to do its job. This way you can just scoop out the asta like you do rice and eat it right away. Simple right?

The whole meal usually takes about 10-20 minutes to prepare and cook and you can just leave it in the rice cooker for up to two to three days(never tried three days but I'm pretty sure it'll last) so is a great way to help reduce spending money on takeaway or expensive ready made food.

Well, that's all for now, hope that made sense :3 Cheerio!

New Degree

Again I'm back after a long time...

Since I don't have a very reliable internet connection, my anime viewings have gone down which is kinda sad... but hey, next year I might get to go back on track.

Lately I've been watching:

Another:

A horror school story with a rather interesting plot.

Shakugan no Shana III Final:

The last series of the Shakugan no Shana anime.

Zero no Tsukaima F:

Final series of the Zero no Tsukaima anime.

Cardfighter Vanguard:

A rather childish anime. Like Yu Gi Oh and those other card game animes. But god knows why I'm addicted to it.

Last season I watched C-cube and something else I forgot... and I finally got to finish watching Kamisama no Memochou... so sad... but I love it. It made its way into my favourite list ^_^.

Finally, I'm enrolled in a new degree course again... This time its Petroleum Engineering. For this year I'll be studying at ITB Brunei, but next year I'll continue at UNSW Australia... wish me luck. For this I'll be starting a new blog page to post some revision guides and etc... though they won't be 100% accurate since I have trouble with subjective stuff because its subjective and my common sense don't match with my lecturer most of the time. I.e. I think the answer is complete but the lecturer refuses to give me full marks but doesn't tell me what's missing.

Oh well... that's all the ranting for now. Hopefully next time I'll be able to put something interesting.

Cheerio!

Mawaru Penguindrum

This is a really nice and unique anime in my opinion. Its about a girl Himari who is really sick and has only a few more days left to live. One of thse last days she was in her "tip top" condition and requests her brothers (I think their parents are gone) to bring her to the aquarium. Then there her condition suddenly got worse and she ends up dying.

But strangely she is resurrected and the story of comic and tragedy begins! Its so random and funny I just like it. Though its pretty much a moe moe anime so probly not very many people will get hooked to it.
Just to give a taste of the randomness(This section is in every episode of the anime and has totally nothing to do with the main anime XD):

Survival strategy!!!

Imagine!!!!!

You low lifes who will never amount to anything.

Obtain the Penguindrum.

~The rest is different from episode to episode depending on what happened and what they are asked to do~

Lets start the survival strategy.

Mayo Chiki!!

Whew, back after what felt like a year of not blogging XD.

This summer anime line up is really nice for me. Lots of lolis and some really nice mahou and toushi style animes(magic and fighters). My favourite so far are Mayo Chiki, A Dark Rabbit has Nine Lives and Sacred Seven.

But the one that meets my tastes the most, is Mayo Chiki ^_^. Crossdressing. Tsundere Loli. Weak male protagonist who aspires to be strong. A love triangle. And alot of cute girls!

Its about Jirou who is Gynophonic(Fear of opposite gender) whose reaction to contact with girls is a nosebleed. On a fateful day in the male toilet he accidentally stumbles upon Konoe Subaru who is a butler to the school's director's daughter. But Konoe isn't just your ordinary butler, he is actually a girl <3. Comedy follows suit and the story progresses along the themes; Must hide Konoe's secret, as well as a developing love between Konoe and Jirou.

Heart touching and a really good laugh, I hope I get to watch the next episode before I fly back home ^_^. Cheerio.

Queen's Blade

This series is heavily eroge based I think. Its originally an eroge game of sorts which explains why... Not very interesting or impressive, but I was watching it cause I was bored.

This series has a total of 2 seasons, 1 OVA and 1 Blueray Bonus OVA:

Season 1 is called Queen's Blade ~Rurou no Senshi~(Queen's Blade ~Wandering Warrior~ or ~Exiled Virgin~ for the US box releases.)

Season 2 is called Queen's Blade ~Gyokuzoku o Tsugumono~ (Queen's Blade ~Successor to the Throne~)

The OVA is called Queen's Blade ~Utsukushiki Toushi-tachi~ (Queen's Blade ~Beautiful Fighters~)

The Bonus OVAs are actually just a "Spin off" of the main anime series they came from. 6 episodes come from the first season and another 6 came from the other season.

A synopsis is kinda boring... well, difficult... well... uninteresting... well, you get the idea:

Basically, this anime revolves around Reina Vance, the future Countess to the house of Vanse which is an exiled nobility on the continent in this anime's universe. This continent is controlled by a Queen, a warrior who has won the competition Queen's Blade which is held once every 4 years. Only the most beautiful and strong women may be permitted to enter this competition. Anyways, Reina started out only wanting to escape the life of Aristrocracy and was seen fleeing from the Vanse Mansion on the first episode where she met a thief named Listy.

From here on, Reina starts on a journey to become a warrior, and alongs the way decides to participate in Queen's Blade.

My favourite character is ofcourse the adorable loli maid, Airi:

who is a ghost and has regenerating clothes (nuuuuu) but also becomes stark naked when weakened(yay).

I'd love to compile a still alive list of d/l links... but it takes too much effort so meh, sorry :P

Cheerio!

It looks so organised now :P and I don't spend days spam searching for episodes that aren't out yet.

Hidan no Aria

Hidan no Aria(Aria of the Scarlet Ammo) really reminds me of Shakugan no Shana. I like the characters, but again like most of the anime lately, the settings are quite messy... but that's probly just from my viewpoint though cause I think my thinking pattern has changed slightly nowadays. That asides, it seems to be about a boy (Kinji) who is a Butei(soldier) who inherits the gene to enter Hysteria Mode, a mode that allows superhuman manoeuvres and stuff. He meets a loli, errr, girl named Aria who is an S-Rank Butei while trying to escape from Butei bombing, a frequent "terror" activity which targets Butei for reasons like revenge and stuff. This is because Butei is an organisation like the police but is more special in a sense that it is an elite squad composition. So far, the anime only had minimal action in episode 1 and none in episode 2. But something about it(most likely Aria <3) is keeping me hooked up to this series, so I am definitely following it ^_^.

Cheerio!
