7. Achieving something I thought I couldn't do.
8. Watching Food network
9. Anime
10. Otomen (lol)
Give top 5 list of trivia about yourself
1. When I was a little girl I watched my mom put her make up on before she goes to work. I really liked the red lipstick that she puts on. Many times have I attempted to take it from her cabinet, but since I was little I couldn't reach it. One day when I opened the refrigerator I saw something similar to that lipstick's shape and color. I grabbed one piece and hid to apply it on my lips. Not soon after I had applied it though I felt my lips burning and inflamed. I cried real hard and caught my mom's attention. She told me that it wasn't lipstick. It was siling labuyo or chili. Man ever since then I shunned myself from make up or anything like that.
2. I like hats and anything that covers the head. It makes me feel somewhat secure if I have something on my head than leaving it bare with just hair. Even a clip would do.
3. I am attracted to shiny and round things. *Hint*gift idea*hint*
4. I have a brother complex. No one is allowed to get close to my brothers. My brothers think the opposite though.
5. I do not like sports just as much as it doesn't like me.
I don't have that many friends, so I'm just gonna tag ate chi!!!

Planting Herbs and Zombies
Location: Martin Luther King,Jr. Regional Library-Sac
Mood: I am excited but still calm
April is finally over! The rainy days are gone. It's getting warmer, just about the right weather to start growing some plants.
Earlier this week my uncle took us to Capitol Nurseries, Sacramento and in Elk Grove, where they got most of their plants. He gave us a lot of helpful hints about selecting the right seedling, and reading the labels indicated. I didn't push my luck and let him do all the shopping, but my sisters and I were asked to pick a handful of herbs to start our own herb garden. Obviously the reason why I wanted to participate in the garden. Lol. Anything for food.
After we selected the plants and a few photo opportunities courtesy of my sister's camera, we drove home and laid the plants there. It wasn't over just yet, we needed to get chicken manure and bricks for the plants to grow on. So we went and checked out Green Acres. The first idea that came to mind was having the herbs grow on plant boxes. We found out that they were too expensive and decided not to get them. Instead we got ourselves the fertilizer and bricks at Home Depot on the way back. It was a very busy day indeed.
We didn't work on the garden when we got back, which was around 12noon or so, for fear of getting burned. Not that I have to worry about getting burned, Hah! Time to wear my trusty woven garden hat! I got it when we visited the Roseville Auction last weekend, which I could've gotten for $2 if I had time to haggle. $3 is not such a bad price when you compare it with the ones they have at the nurseries or other gardening tool stores. Anyway, going back to the story, everyone waited 'til the sun was just an angle lower before we worked on transplanting the seedlings.
Making the herb garden was a bit of work though. We had to transport the bricks from the garage to the garden. It was not a light job, good thing I was watering the flowering plants then. After the bricks were laid to their final, if not temporary, resting places we began to stir the manure with the soil present on the ground. Yes it was a messy task but it was fun. Afterwards, we started the transplanting operation! The herbs that we got were:
* these two are different varieties, weird.
Having all of them planted, we poured a bit of plant vitamins and then watered them. I asked uncle how many times he waters them plants and he said that not often. Well I think it is good if you do it every other day then.
