(Unrelated Topic) GOODBYE ISAAC!

So,this is just a dedication to one of my bestest friends Isaac,who i have knew since year 5 (when he used to go to the karate club i wen't to sometimes).

Isaac is moving to San Diego,CA which if you're no good at geography-IS REALLY FAR!
Isaac has always been there for me and he has helped me acomplish alot of things in Music!
To be honest,i can say that without his help i wouldn't be achieving my current grade in Music!

Anyway,i will really miss Isaac,but i can't help but be happy for him and all the opportunities that lie ahead for him in California.
I hope this specific part of his life helps map out his career and i hope he remembers-the world is his oyster.

I'm sad that i never got to back im something before he wen't, but he probably wouldn't have wanted all the fuss anyway!
But i promise to him,if i open my LA bakery which is my lifetime dream,he will ALWAYS be welcome and he will ALWAYS get free food!

You will be my friend for life,and finally,good luck!!!!!

MY LATEST YOUTUBE ADDICTION!

Okay!
So recently i have become OBSESSED with Anime and all things japan!
Especially Ghibli Studio's "となりのトトロ" or "My Neighbour Totoro" as it is known in the west.
Well anyway.......

I was browsing Youtube and decided to type in "トトロ" or "Totoro" as it translates and this video came up:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqnPeKD_X-o

The name of this video was "How to make Totoro Onigri".
"Onigri" is the japanese name for Rice Ball.
So i watched the video and it turns out,you can make an Ultra Cool bento box with this onigri!

So automatically i subscribed to "Ochikeron" who was the maker of the video!
I looked through 3 or 4 more of Ochikeron's video's and everything she makes is AWESOME and KAWAII (CUTE)!
So i have been watching her for about 3 weeks now and i have to say, i NEVER miss one of her videos!
I know baking's my thing but her channel is inspiring and she does bake quite frequently too!
Here are my 3 favourite videos by Ochikeron:

3.)Panda Macaron's:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH4qJb6O-KQ
2.)Haribo Happy Cola Jelly:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRHdt9s4YWY
1.)Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgWKARYqOnE

So,finally,i'd just like to say!
I reccomend you subscrbe to her channel she upload's new videos every Tuesday and Friday night (as she releases them in Morning in Japanese Time!)

Thanks for reading my blog! ~Jake
