my orange drink!

so i know its not a good pic…and i forgot to take the picture first before drinking almost all of it. but thats still a picture anyways =)
well i noticed on this site i dont have that feed thing or whatever anymore? i dont even remember what thing i signed up with so yeah..i guess ill just take care of that whenever i feel like it. lol. well the weather is looking MUCH better now (i hope i didnt just jinx myself) and i start summer school this thursday, which is good cause i’ve been thinking i start this monday which wouldve been today. yeah so last night i didnt sleep at all. at around 6 something or closet to 7 i fell asleep for less than 2 hours and then i woke up and stayed awake. then later in the afternoon i went to see that movieRATATOUILLE. it wasnt bad, but it was insanely good or funny either, i guess i kind of expected it to be funny like shrek. it was still an alright movie and very kids friendly. well tomorrow i think i need to clean up around here a little because i got these bones for Arisu and they ended up being very easily shredded. so yeah i need to vacuum this place up in the morning and do some other things tomorrow too.
so all last night i made my little website about flashcards. granted…its pretty ugly and …its not really all that good. but it does EXACTLY what i need it to do - and thats take in some terms and definitions and then give me a printable format thing. which..is still a little bit off center because i couldnt figure out how to use pdf correctly so i had to adjust in html until it would print pretty closely to what i wanted. ANDDDD…what was really crazy was that someone actually found it through google and went there lol. so yeah i was surprised. i put some ads on it. partly because maybe in like 5 years i might get like 50 cents. and partly because, i had nothing else to put on it, lol. anyways, thinking about how can i make it look better because its VERY plain right now and ugly but i dont know what i should make it look like.
so yeah i did that last night and i also studied some since i was doing nothing but really i wasnt ‘awake’ enough to do much productive studying so that didnt last long. okay well..i better go to sleep now.
1 commentJamba Juice’s Orange Dream Machine without Jamba Juice!
Today I did something very exciting - I made my own Orange Dream Machine which is this orange drink from Jamba Juice! I didn’t think it would actually work but it tastes basically 99% like the real drink that I ordered at Jamba Juice before (thanks for Frankie who helped me find a recipe for it). Well a part of me was skeptical that it would work but it does! After getting all the ingredients which took a few days I was surprised that I actually followed through with it and I made 2 big cups of it today and it was really good. I’ll probably make some more tomorrow and take a picture of it and put it here just to document the first thing I’ve ever made in the kitchen thats more complicated than scrambled eggs!
first I had to buy some orange juice so i did:

then i had to buy some orange sherbet, which i made my sister pick up for me at walmart:

then soy milk:

then vanilla frozen yogurt. which …i didn’t even know existed. i didn’t see it at walmart, i went to HEB and bought some. Its weird though, i think frozen yogurt is like ice cream for people on diets or something because ALL frozen yogurts that were being sold were either low fat or non fat and i was looking for REGULAR frozen yogurt (if that even exists). anyways I had to get some of this stuff in the end since it was the only vanilla kind:

okay so after i got all that, i used this: (yes, its that magic bullet thing they used to sell on tv commercials)

so using the biggest cup they had (which, this recipe fills up the cup to the VERY top exactly), i added:
- 2 scoops of vanilla frozen yogurt!
- 2 scoops of orange sherbet =)
- 1/2 cup of orange juice
- 1/2 cup of soy milk
- a little bit of crushed ice
and then I used the little blender for a while (a few times, probably not even a minute) and it was like magic - I had an orange dream machine without going to jamba juice! =) anyways hopefully I will make some and post it tomorrow.
6 commentsJuly 4th Update!
well its July 4th! today i didnt do anything much. woke up, then we decided we had to go to my grandma’s house to clean it all out. was there for like 2 hours. then we ate together with the whole family and came back home. i think we were going to see fireworks tonight but i really dont feel like going. its too many misquitos and not enough fun to justify it. well i’m starting summer school this coming monday so yeah ill be much more busy than normal since its like 20 hours a week, plus study time. plus i still have to keep up with all that mcat stuff. which i’m kind of glad i went to the school last week because i printed out like a thousand pages or so of passages to do since i was running out. still gotta remember to stop by and buy my book that i need for my physics class.
well the good thing is i did end up buying or taking care of a lot of stuff this past month that i’ve been putting off. one important thing is that i finallllly cleaned my closet out!! my closet was cluttered with old clothes that i didnt wear and didn’t fit anymore. i finally got rid of like 3 huge trash bags of clothes (well, i donated them to the use clothing box) and not only did i get rid of a ton of clothes but i bought NEW clothes (wow, i know). so yeah now i ha
ve clothes that arent over like 5 years old that i’m wearing. i havent gone shopping before this summer for probably like 2 years or so. bought a whole bunch of shirts, a couple of shorts and some new pants. still am looking for some more nicer shirts to wear to fit my pants. oh and i got this little drawer thing for my undies, i had them in sort of stack up bin and arisu kept getting in them so yeah i put them up in a drawer that i bought now.
besides that, i also got a new desk lamp which i really needed, and i got another book shelf that i really needed too - and the best part is i bought it using my ikea gift card (yes, the one i got 2 and a half years ago). it was like…a huge burden had been lifted, i no longer had to worry about what i was going to spend that gift card on =). thankfully i am pleased with the lamp (which i saw the same one at target but they only had two and they were broken) and the shelf. i did buy this stupid alarm clock and is basically a pos. what kind of person makes an alarm clock these days that you have to WIND up??? AND another thing is it has no instructions, and the thing is hard to wind too. cant believe i thought that ikea could handle making a normal clock. i’m not returning it though because i’m not going back to that store now that i’m done using my gift card.
ohhhh and i bought myself some new bras. because i had been wearing a 36 B right? well yeah all the sudden…i tried on a 34C and it fits SO good. i was like….omg i’ve been wearing the wrong bra size! granted i saw that bra thing on opera where she said a lot of women wear the wrong size - but i never bothered to measure myself or try different sizes. anyways so yeah now i have a new bra size, which..didnt make much difference anyways because when i cleaned my closet out i threw out like a bunch of bras that were just too old or torn. so i had to buy new ones. i got like 5 new ones =)
okay thats all for now. =)
oh and here are some pictures of my new shelf and lamp :
