the passionable cafe of rae

 I'm waiting for Chris to get his behind home so he can give me my much needed scale so I can FINALLY make the carrot cake and pie crust I was supposed to make a day ago. WHAT'S TAKING HIM SO LONG?! Who bakes at midnight on Christmas Eve?! My goodness. 

Who knows how long I'll be up tonight. pffffff POOOOOOOOOP. 


Wellp, Happy Christmas Eve! <3 

Nights in the common room are fun. ^ ^ But the group of guys I hang out with are such jerks sometimes. lol I wanted to play Halo 3 with them and Yasmine and Alexis, but instead, they started a new game of Madden 09. >.< You can never win with them.

* I started Intro to Cakes class last Tuesday. xD The first day was a little hectic, and messy. lol But today was much better, but still messy. I'm surprised by how little I get on my uniform, thanks to my apron. <3

*We made convenience chocolate cake yesterday, which is just cake mix cake. It was so darn fluffy! Today, we made a scratch batter for carrot cake, then we iced the chocolate cakes and boxed them. They usually store whatever we make into a temp-controlled store room for a later time. So they don't throw away everything, thank God. Really, all the stuff they throw away is unnecessary. You could feed a starving country with the amount they throw away. 

But I finally figured out why they do it. And it's a stupid reason too. It was allowed a few years ago, but when a group of kids left their food in their cars for a few days and ate it, they sued the school for getting sick. Isn't that so RETARDED?! They ruined it for everyone. Who's stupid enough to eat three day old food in a car?!!!

* I caught a cold. >.<;; but it isn't serious. I got a scratchy throat two days ago and it developed into a weak cold. I have a runny nose and a pathetic little cough. I felt a small fever today, and I was ridiculously sleepy all day, but I took a nap, took some medicine an hour ago. I'll be alright. ^ ^ As long as I don't miss class. I freaked out on the first day and went to Walgreens and bought a $7 cough drop thing that's supposed to shorten the duration of a cold. 

* I haven't seen Paul and Mike in a while, but I've passed them up alot. I enjoy their cute smiles and hugs. hehe I see Jamie alot too, but we don't talk much anymore. I think it's cuz we all have our own schedules and stuff. But I still think we have the potential to go out to eat on weekends and stuff. 

* I went to my cousin Tracey's salon last weekend. Me, Olivia, and Cyril went. Cyril went because he had to go to the bank and I told him I'd take him. He said he'd go with us early that frikkin morning to the salon, just so he could go the bank. It was that important to him. lol I've been hanging out with him, Yasmin, Alexis, and more peeps lately. It's fun. I get ALOT of laughs from them. Cyril and Yasmin are childhood friends and they happened to apply at the same uni, so they act like rival siblings all the time. It's so CUTE! They're friendship's like the one s I wish I had with a guy. They mess with each other, but you can just tell that they truly love each other. He leans on her shoulder, and in the common room, when we watch horror movies late at night, he'll fall asleep with his head on her lap. It's just adorable!!!!!!!

By the way, I'm totally giving Tracey more business. All of my buds want their hair done by her now, since Olivia and I came back from her salon. She makes your hair feel so good! xD

* I have pics of alot of stuff I did over the week. I must post them. 

* I'm starting to really find my way around the streets. I found a Books a Million closer to the campus, and without having to tackle the highway. <3 I have a favorite road that takes me EVERYWHERE, and it's beautiful. 

* I watched a scrimmage flag football game of the school at this park a walking distance from the school. IT'S SO GREEN AND PREETY!!! omg, I have a place to write now! omg, Gwyn, Kriss, Stasha,  this place is so picnic worthy!!!!

* I'm in two clubs: Tribe of David (a club where Christians can come together <3), and Baking and Pastry club (because I can't get enough of it. lol)

And that's about it. 

And that's all for now! xDD Until next time! 

be blessed. <3

p.s. - I finally played the sims today! And I made a hot sim. :D

I attempted an ice cream cake today. So far, everything's in one piece. I know I didn't use the best method of getting the ice cream on the first layer of the cake, but it work. I had to attack the block of ice cream to get it soft with a spatula, then I spread it on the cake, then it started melting immediately, so I popped it in the freezer. Waited two minutes, took it out, put the rest on it. pffffftttttt. Now it's in the freezer.

I'm a little worried about how I'm gonna get it to Kriss' house tomorrow, but it should make it. >.< I REALLY HOPE IT DOES!

SOOOOOO, I've been playing the sims alot lately. I messed up my game from wiping out my Downloads folder, so I downloaded new stuff and completely organized it. It's so organized, it's complicated. xD I'm glad I did it. I'm a little mad though, because it's been crashing, and I have no idea why. It could be the hacks on it, but I don't want to take them off. If I can't figure out the prob, I'll just take them out. No biggy.

I've also been at Kriss' house since the AFO con SNN'ap and Kunhee went to. It was THE AWESOME, btw. The rave was the biggest highlight of mine. I can't say I've ever partied until then. That is a definite first, and I reallllly enjoyed it. Overall, the event was super fun. I enjoyed dressing up, my hair cooperated, I successfully did Dara hair on Stasha, and even represented for the kpopness and found other kpoppers (but the sad thing's that it HAD to be Miles' crew >.< WHYZ?!) Stasha and I were roaming the con halls when someone pointed at Stasha and said, "Are you Dara from 2NE1?!" and I almost died. I was soooooo happy!!!!! Finally, some actual recognition of kpop after all the cons we've been to! ! ! ! <3333 It was magical.

I kinda want to make up an association, like The Kpoppers Association. hehe People who listen to kpop in their cars, have the music on their mp3 player, ipods, etc., just straight up represents the love for korean pop music!

I'M A KPOPPER DUDE! And part of the A crew, and part of SNN'ap. keke. <3 I feel reallllly special.

I want to start a routine. Since I'm such a Sims 2 lover, I want to post a pic a day, or each time I post.

Cuz I'm a freak for this game. <3 :D

Hmmm, now lemme find one.

This is my fave sim Bennet's little brother, William Boden. He's been a kid for the longest time in my game and now he's finally a teen. He's so pretty! keke I think I want to make him heir of his family, cuz Bennet doesn't look like a sim who cares about makin' babies.



Okay, I hope to be back soon. I'm gonna be super busy tomorrow with crazy stuff. >.<

peace!

be blessed. <3

I don't understand why I can't wake up when I need to anymore. If I had class today, I'd be up 2 hours early. Now, when I set the alarm on my cell phone (which is the only alarm I rely on), I MAY wake up to that, but then I go back to sleep and wake up 2 hours later! *SIGH* I'm glad I don't have anything to wake up for right now, but I still want to get up early so I'm not starting things late, ya know??

Sleep is addictive, making waking up from it the devil. :/

Yesterday, I made a red velvet cake all from scratch! I'm so proud! I was worried it wouldn't come out right and the batter wouldn't be as red as it was supposed to. I followed everything from Paula Dean's Grandma's recipe from Foodnetwork.com, so I was a little comforted by that. The cake smelled good when it was cooling, so I was convinced that it would taste good too.

THREE THINGS I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT RED VELVET CAKE:

: cocoa powder
: vinegar
: buttermilk

Yeahp, I didn't know that. Now I know what I'm tasting when I eat it! lol Ever since I first tasted red velvet cake, I didn't like it. I couldn't understand the taste, so I shyed away from it. To me, the cake was just some plain cake with red dye in it, and something else that I couldn't put a finger on. But now I can! I like it a little. The taste is growing on me, but I nibble mostly. ^_^

I was paid 10 bucks to make it for Aaron's mom. Aaron was a kid I knew from both of my previous math classes while in BCC. We text each other about random things. (I went to his house to play video games once, but I didn't tell anyone because I was too embarrassed. AND I didn't want to get scolded because I knew that if I told any of my friends, they'd think it sounded shady) But I don't know how to explain it. When you know someone's not going to come onto you, your guard goes down. I was confident that he wasn't the dangerous type, so I didn't think much of it, and he's kinda scrawny, so I could beat him up if he DID try to attack me. But we're just friends. He hasn't texted me any flirtatious things since I met him, so I'm not worried about it. I'm still cautious, just not paranoid about it. And I'm most definitely not gonna do stupid things like that while I'm away for college. I'll most likely be with family then. ^_^

But anyway, I found out that the cake tasted good, so I'm at ease. I didn't want to get paid for a yucky cake. So it was a success! xD

After I dropped the cake off, Stasha and I headed to Gwyn's house cuz we were going to the movies together to see Star Trek. <3 It was reallllly good. OMG, the characters were super awesome. I knew nothing about the story, but now I want to know more. Makes me want to read the books and junk. Almost. Gwyn had already seent the movie, but she wanted to see it with us. I REALLY enjoyed it. I always look for corniness, but this one had none, which is excellent. And Gwyn got me liking Spock, though I think I would've liked him anyway. hehee! hmm, the main character was hot too. And omo, Tyler Perry was even in there!!! That was unexpected but cool. haha!

Okay, well I better go now. I have a deadline to make by Sunday, but I haven't started on it yet, so yeah. . . >.<;; I better get to it.

And hey! I got the Plus account! It's a free upgrade that I was totally late on lol, but it allows me to have 15 userpics, so I'm very happy! It SO beats the meazly 6 I had before. xDDD

Baiz!

be blessed. <3
