I was supposed to update weeks ago but school's been hellish and is currently keeping me away from doing so. However, tonight, I decided to ditch my readings and just blab. Haha.

I finally made my first bento, but not for the target but for a college friend. This friend of mine has been feeding me, uh...to sound more pleasant, this friend of mine has an unexhaustible food supply inside her bag and gives out food to us, her friends and blockmates, whenever we are hungry or whenever we just want to eat. I decided to pay her back for her charity and I told her that I'll make her a bento. I even explained to her the whole story of the dare and of course, the concept of bento.

She agreed, and the hellish nightmare of bento preparation started.

I'm proud of my first bento. My friend said the food tastes okay. And my blockmates asked me to make one for them in the future I actually showed it off hahaha. Well, I don't know about that but I would certainly be making bento for someone in the not so distant future ♥

And. Good news, I have been spotting the target in the campus now! Now, if only I have the courage to say hi...

There's this saying that goes like this: The fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Honestly, I do not effin know the person who said or even popularized the said statement, however, right now, I shall put that crazy statement to a test in probably the most idiotic and the most embarassing dare I would ever do in my life.

It all started when my friend and I were talking over the phone jumping randomly from one topic to another until one of us blurted out something about bento. The conversation about bento was going smoothly until my friend told me something I didn't know. My friend told me that in Japan, lovers exchange their bento boxes. And then, chaos and stupidity ensued.

My friend dared me to give a bento box to my crush (which we would be calling the target from now on) and if I succeed, my friend will treat me some expensive donuts and food. It's my dignity and pride on the line all for those donuts and food. Wow, I'm really stupid.

For my dare to be considered "accomplished," I need to show my friend some pictures:
♥ A picture of the bento
♥ A picture of the bento and me
♥ A picture of the bento, me and the target
♥ A picture of the bento, me, the target with him holding chopsticks
♥ A picture of the bento, me, the target with him holding chopsticks with food in his mouth.

If I don't do this dare, I need to treat her some bubble tea and candies (THOSE ARE EXPENSIVE GAAAAH). We're really childish, I know. I don't remember myself saying yes but somehow the deal was on and I was already facing probably the most idiotic and the most embarrasing dare I would ever do in my life. I need to give my bento to the target before the year ends.

This is the third time I would be saying this but this is probably the most idiotic and most embarassing dare I would ever do in my life. Idiotic because I do not know how to cook and my knowledge about bento preparation is at the same level as my knowledge about Pluto. Embarassing because I chicken out when it comes to my crushes, and by adding insult to injury, I shall also need to take pictures with him. PICTURES. WITH. HIM.

I asked my friend many times about this dare and what would I really get from it, I actually don't remember what she said but its something about me and the target being closer (thus, I remembered the saying in the first place). Well, I beg to differ, he might not want to see me after he tastes my cooking. Haha.

I don't know why but I feel like this dare is somewhat like an evil plot from a shoujo manga. Hmm.
