Meet Oreo, my squishy little panda.

He crawled out of a pack of cookies.

(I’ll make a longer post next time, I promise! But say hi to Oreo please. :P)

When my kid cousin came over for the holidays, we gave him this modeling clay set because we knew he liked working on stuff like this.

Uuuunfortunately (for him) the grown-ups were apparently all frustrated modeling clay lovers, so as soon as he opened the gift and turned away to eat, we jumped at the opportunity!

So I present to you, the McSticky. The clay was a weird brand, so it was really sticky (see some green goo on my index finger there) and was pretty hard to manage. But that didn’t stop us, of course. ;]

Now… I want to buy clay for myself. :[

2009 is here! It’s a new year, a new start. Although I believe that we can have new beginnings whenever we decide to, the start of the year is a great time to set some goals for ourselves, assess the past year, learn and move forward.

And with thaaaaaaaaat~ I ask, what are your New Year’s Resolutions? Do you still make them?

I know, sometimes it seems that making them isn’t worth the time and blog space. But I still believe in making them, because I think we should always look to improve ourselves, even little by little.

So, here are mine for 2009 (hey, they rhyme)!

1. To sleep earlier on workdays. I stay up too late, you can only rely on coffee so much!
2. To draw more. Yes I scribble a bit, but I’ve been neglecting it more and more as time passes. And that’s too bad, because I used to be really passionate about it.
3. To take cooking and baking more seriously. Meaning, learn at least one new recipe every month. This might not be a big deal for our talented cooks and chefs here in Sanriotown (hee) but to me it is! I only have time to play around in the kitchen on weekends!
4. To exercise more. For health reasons, I sit around too much and exercise too little!

So those are mine. I hope I can look back after a year and see that I’ve done well with these. Hahaha, good luck to me. Oh and I hope that if you have resolutions of your own, you do well with them too! Maybe we can even check up on each other!

Again, happy new year everyone! :]
