Hello Lovelies! Incase you didn't already know, I'm not longer doing videos as "ForksOverSpoons." I'm sorry:( But I will still be doing videos! Pretty much the exact same things except I now have a partner in crime, Dan :) I will keep all previously made videos/my channel FOS up incase anyone wants to refer back to them! Also, please subscribe to us on our new channel!
We'll still have a ton of DIY & Outfit videos &it'll be awesome, I promise :)
Also! This also means the my blogspot shall no longer be updated :( I have a tumbr now... Boy don't i feel like a traitor, advertising my tumblr on blogspot, haha :C Well I hope you can all understand that I'm doing all this solely to improve the entertainment level of my channel & add more perspective to a once one-sided fashion sense channel!
& this new blog isn't a dan&ivan blog, just a mixture of my personal interests aside from the dan/ivan video combo! It'll have photos of current obsessions & possible diy's & etc. Same sauce, only better, i promise :)))
"Here’s what I know about the realm of possibility—it is always expanding, it is never what you think it is. Everything around us was once deemed impossible. From the airplane overhead to the phones in our pockets to the choir girl putting her arm around the metal head. As hard as it is for us to see sometimes, we all exist within the realm of possibility. Most of the limits are of our own world’s devising. And yet, every day we each do so many things that were once impossible to us.” — David Levithan (The Realm of Possiblity)"
Instagram
Is anyone else here an Instagram-er (IG)? I've been pretty addicted & it'd be much appreciated if you checked out some of my photos or follow/like <3 :) The first two photos were taken by me... I'm an IG newbie but excited to learn the ways :) & Happy last week of summer everyone!
I feel like it's been centuries since I've talked to you all! (Yotube&Blog-wise)
As for personal life, I'm stressed as ever! For those of you who don't know, this upcoming year is my senior year! Which includes college applications, SATs, etc. I can't wait for it to all be over! If you were to look in my trash cans you'd find soo many cartons of Black Sesame Soymilk! I'm addicted! I love it's darkness, feels ike I'm drinking.. evil in a sweetened form. hehe. So yes! just a little update that even though videos may not be coming for awhile, I'll start posting in my blog once again! Hope you summer is crazy amazing so far!!
SONGS PLAYED:
Tears turn into Waterfalls - Coldplay
Save the World (tonight) - Swedish House Mafia
Combat Boots - forever 21. By no means am I affiliated with Forever 21. Everything was purchased with my own money.
Some people may not like the idea of wearing boots during the summer but I, personally, believe that if it's a decent color, style, and height, it can easily be summer appropriate :)
another quickie DIY vid up on my youtube! Total cost of my stud organizer was only $2. A similar idea to my DIY earring organizer but my wall mounted organizer can't hold studs so hopefully this video will help you guys as much as it helps me!
Photos 1,2,10,&11:1&2 are decor photos from a Thai restaurant called "Qi." The decor of this place is by far the most unique and elegant I've ever seen! The service was also great. The food in photo 10 may not look so appetizing but I assure you that it tastes amazing! As a vegetarian, I was more than happy to see they had a fairly large portion of foods for non-meat eaters. The food I ordered was called "Pad See Euw" with tofu and despite my meal being meatless, the family voted the mine was the best meal out of the other 4 :) Photo #11 is actually a table! Fancy, right? There's a chair next to it and it's one of those double or single sitters. I highly recommend this place!
Photo 3,12 :An adorable goat (?)! I felt bad for the little fella cause' the bigger goats got front row in the feeding zone & he had to stand on the stump.. too precious! You can find him at the Central Park Children's Zoo. Photo 12 is of me being the turtle I truly am..
Photos 4&5:P4&5 are actually of the same lake. It's some lake in Central Park & I loved the vibe the lake had :) So Calm & relaxing. You're also able to rent little wind powered boats & sail on this lake!
Photos 6&7:Photo 6 may look gross but that's because it is.. Hahah. It's some sort of green ick floating over the top (&pretty much the bottom) of the dead end of the Central Park Lake. I took a picture of it anyways. The explorers we (dad, bro, me) are, we actually tried rowing one of the dingys we rented into one of these dead ends. Bad idea! The area was shallow and even with my amazing dingy rowing skills, it was a difficult area to manage.. I do not suggest going into one of these areas no matter how enchanting and magical it looks!
Photos 8&9:Photo 8 is actually the same center fountain used in the scene in the Home Alone movie ("Lost in New York" vers). My older brother use to be literally obsessed with the movie to the point where when my mom had my little brother, my older brother named him Kevin.. Hah. P9 is of a Strawberry shortcake Icecream! I'm sure you've all had it & know of it's magical deliciousness?! What made it so awesome was how the Ice Cream man kept it cold not with ice but-- Nitrogen Gas! It was really cool biting into it & hearing a crunch.. I also love how we bought it on a rainy day..
Photo 13:I think these Cupcakes were sold at.. "Scoops r' Us?" I'm not too sure.. I just took the photo because I thought they looked kinda nice.. You can find Scoops R Us (ice cream store..) in *drumroll* Toys R' Us. So clever right? Oh, & I'm talking about the Toys R' Us in the Times Square area :)
Photo 14&15:The Forever21 in Times square is 3 stories high. I was expecting 8 for some reason.. But I really loved their ad! It's a live camera feed! Let's see if you can find where I am? ; ) As for Photo 15, it's pretty much a concluding Photo:) It was taken on my second to last day in NY at Times Square.
My experience in NY was pretty intense.. I feel like people are more busy than us Californians & less interested in making friends while they're working :'( But that's totally understandable! Before coming I was expecting a lot because my friend & I are constantly day dreaming that we'd move to NY someday & have the time of our lives. When the trip was all done with I realized it wasn't exactly what I envisioned. I don't think I can handle the crowdyness, smell, and the carelessness? (This doesn't apply to everyone of course!) Haha but, all in all, the trip wasn't awful! It made me more aware of different surroundings and reality. I'd say it's interesting to visit every now and then but it's not exactly the most relaxing or comforting place! Seems like, for now, home is and forever will be California! Such friendly folks we have here.. Oh and when I thought Californian driving was bad, ha!, New York totally tops us in the feisty scale..
