Shiying is all those clichés that basically say "best friend". You know, "peanut butter to my jelly", "ma' ho' ", "etc. Since she blogged about me on her blog, I thought I'd do the same. To the left is a picture of me and her (psst, I'm the less crazy-looking one).

1. Grab a pillow and a metal spoon. The pillow is for crying or pounding into, and the spoon is for you to throw/ attempt to bend/ break, etc. Metal spoons are the best because you can get it back to its original form after you bend it. But if not, anything other than porcelain will do.


2. Sleep. Really, it's good for you, especially if you've exerted too much force on that spoon.


3. Open up a word document, mash keys until a light bulb appears on top of the annoying paper clip's head, OR until you've filled a whole page with 12 font gibberish, OR until your fingers go numb.

There's a store that recently opened in a mall close to my home that is utterly unique and just amazing. It's called Teaopia, and obviously you can tell what the specialize in just by looking at the name. It's great because none of the teas are sold in little packets; they're all loose-leaf. One thing I love about that place is their free tea samples, varying from traditional green teas to their own fruit teas. Mmm, pina colada goodness... But really, most of these teas come in affordable price packages, and they're just SO good!
