I only got my brand new HTC 8S phone about 2 hours, but I'm loving it. I don't know if its because I've never really had an up to date phone before, or because its just a really good phone. I think it looks really nice, sleek and modern. It feels good to hold and just the right sensitiveness. I got mine in blue, and it just makes me feel so modern and like I need to go to Starbucks for some reason.
If you are looking for a new phone or thinking about it, I would defiantly get the HTC 8S, it's everything I could want in a phone.
This amazing tasting simple recipe is served in oranges for an extra cute night snack on a cold winter night ^_^.
Prepare your ingredients and equipment:
-Pan
-Knife
-Straw
-Spoon
-Milk
-Terry's Chocolate Orange pieces
-Large Orange(s)
Measure how much milk you will need in a cup depending on how many people you are serving.
Stir the milk on a medium heat to ensure it doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan, when its warm you can start adding the chocolate.
Keep adding pieces of the chocolate and stirring in between, taste test as you go along until you reach the right ratio of milk to chocolate.
While the hot chocolate is left to cool a little off the heat you can prepare your orange(s). Start by cutting off the top of the orange.
Cut a little hole out of the top of the orange so your straw can fit through.
Scoop the insides of the orange into a glass (the juice could be saved and drank later).
Pour the hot chocolate into the orange(s).
Add the lid and cut down the straw until it fits nicely into the orange, and you're done!

Here is how I did these cute little paper roses in time for Christmas.
You will need:
-Red Card (or any other coloured card to make it more funky)
-Pencil
-Scissors
Start by cutting out a square from the piece of card, then draw a spiral onto it. Carefully cut out the spiral.
Begin rolling the card from the outside, keep going until you reach the center.
The rose should stay on it's own, but if you've used thinner card it may unravel, if it does use a bit of tape to hold it in place.
And that's the rose done!
I added mine to the decoration on the mantelpiece, I think they look great and so festive.

My manga shop worker girl, I think I was 7 or 8 when I drew this? I covered the details when I took the picture ages ago, and now can't find the actual drawing :( .
Here's my graffiti man. I was flicking through Stumbleupon when I got to a stop animation on 4 men doing Graffiti art. I really enjoyed it so decided to draw Graffiti, but I've never done it before so if I did again there would be a few things I'd change.
I've started a blog on Blogger as well, because I think it's a really good site for blogs (obviously). But I really want to continue blogging on here too, because I prefer the way you can design your website on Weebly. But the only problem is, it's really hard for people to find my website on here, and I've thought about adding it to StumbleUpon, but I think I need more content before that. Also, I don't want to be double blogging, because for the about 3 viewers I have it's going to get annoying, but I don't think I have loads of stuff to catch up on in the past 13 years of my life that I can blog 2 different things every day. Lastly, Blogger tells me how many views I have, so I don't feel like I'm blogging into space like I do on here.
Aghhhhh the world of Blogging is harder than it seems.

What is art? The Oxford Dictionary says that art is ''The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.'' But is that really what art is? If you look around art is everywhere, from the floor to the pictures on the wall. Without art there would be nothing. Without art there would be no t.v, no radio, no cafes or restaurants, no buildings, there would even be no you. You are a work of art, whether you believe you came from God, Allah, the Big Bang, etc... You were made in the perfect proportion, your body works in harmony, every piece playing it's part to keep you living and to keep you experiences the world.
You may not be the most creative person, but art can still change your life. You see it everywhere and it's created by you and billions of other people every day. That's amazing. So for today try to appreciate art in the world like you never have before.
