Hello peeps, today is a fine day for bloggers like you and me to blog about anything. So, instead of just rotting in front of the TV, changing the channels every now and then, munching on Chinese New Year leftover cookies, I'm gonna break my torpidity and make an effort to post a proper entry. Here's a blog post dedicated to all the things I have recently been SUPER CRAZY about.  

Category 1 : TV / Movies 

a. Sugar Dome

'Here is where cake and sugar do things they were never meant to do,' Remarkable artists of all types are gathered beneath the dome to fabricate the most eye-catching, jaw-dropping, heart-stopping food displays the world has ever witnessed. Each week, three teams comprising artists from completely different disciplines - cake designers, sugar artists, fruit carvers, graffiti masters, animatronics experts, or sand sculptors - enter a delicious yet grueling battle filled with seemingly impossible culinary twists to bring cake and sugar to life. Literally. 

b. Unique Eats

Madly, deeply, and irrevocably in love with this TV series OMAGAWD*. <3 It introduces various restaurants across America and their signature dishes, featuring interviews with food critics and celebrity chefs as they talk about their favorite signature dishes. Trust me, you're gonna drool over every dish they have to offer, and you're gonna get so hungry you'd probably lick your TV screen. 

c. Frozen 

I watched this with Mary one day before our Cambodia experiential trip - we both loved it! We hummed along to 'Do You Want To Build A Snowman', we chortled at Olaf's comical nuances and whimsical antics (laughed so loud that everyone else in the cinema had to look our way and shoooshed* at us), we marveled at the flawless intricacy of Elsa's ice fortress, we shed a few tears when Anna breathed her last mortal breath and turned into solid ice, we squealed like little girls and awwwhed* when Anna and Kristoff kissed.  

Meet the cast !

And here are a few of my favorite scenes from the movie. <3

Though I love Elsa and her beautiful 'ice queen' gown, Anna and her adorable clumsiness, Kristoff and his umm* reindeer, I have to say, Olaf killed it - he was the bomb of the movie. I'm serious, the movie would've been quite dull if it wasn't for the jubilant snowman. 

'Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle! But put me in summer and I'll be a... puddle!' hahahaha* Well, snowmen are supposed to melt in summer, until Olaf defied the law of Mother Nature LOL*. Olaf was created by Elsa, and a part of her had been unknowingly ingrained in the little snowman. He symbolized Elsa's innermost longings and deepest feelings, and maybe that's why we could all tell how much Olaf loved Anna and how much he strove to protect her from harm - the same way Elsa would have if it wasn't for her curse. Olaf taught Anna all she needed to know about love.

           

                   

                   

                   

d. Pirates Of The Caribbean (Trilogy)

I don't know why, all I can say is that I'M HOOKED. Like, seriously. I know there's a fourth installment in the POTC film series (Pirates Of The Caribbean : On Stranger Tides), but I have to admit, I ain't completely crazy about it. Sure, there is Hollywood's brunette bombshell, Penelope Cruz as Blackbeard's daughter, Angelica Teach. And yes, there is a generous amount of romance - sweet young love blossoming between Philip Swift, a devout missionary and a beautiful mermaid whom he named Syrena. Nothing beats the archetypal depiction of love-at-first-sight, especially when Philip's role is played by the handsome + hot + sweet Sam Claflin (yes, he's the one who plays Finnick Odair in Catching Fire girly shrieks*). <3 Despite all that, I still miss seeing Orlando Bloom as swashbuckling buccaneer William Turner; how he always managed to strut into a sword fight with bravado and charisma, how he risked his life countless times to save his one true love, how he and Jack worked together as comrades in the most ludicrous ways, or how they sometimes betrayed one another for selfish desires. It's always fun to watch two men fight over a damsel, but wouldn't it be more fun if three men were fighting over, not a damsel, but the pumping heart of Davy Jones?
