Hello, and welcome to my kitchen.
00:01
Today, I am in the mood to make some banana bread, so that's what we're going to do..!
00:04
You know it's just sometimes you get in mood to make some banana bread so when that mood comes....
00:08
You have to follow your instinct which means that today is another segment of the world famous.. cooking show..
00:14
For today's episode I actually want to just babble, like I don't have a topic..
00:28
I'm just gonna babble, because I told myself that I'd make these Wednesday videos easier for me to make and then I always like...
00:33
make them really hard for me to make. So, I'm actually just going to turn on my camera and make banana bread and talk about
00:41
random things because it's more fun..
00:47
Let's make some banana bread.
00:50
Gotta get my cookbook!
00:51
My mother gave me and my sister this cookbook filled with all of our
00:53
recipes that we have from when we were a kid and like growing up and stuff and since banana bread is one of my favorite
00:59
things in the entire world there is a banana bread recipe in here, and that is what we're going to make today.
01:04
I am going to make it gluten free because gluten makes me poop a lot....
01:09
Um, was that too much information?
01:14
.....*shakes head no*
01:16
Okay, this recipe is called Banana Banana bread.
01:17
2 cups of all-Purpose Flour
01:21
1 teaspoon of baking soda
01:22
1/4 teaspoon of salt
01:24
3/4 cup Brown sugar
01:27
and 7 to 8 large Bananas
01:29
Where is our baking Soda? *cough*
01:35
Sea salt? I don't need sea salt!!
01:38
Why is this happening to me..? :(( I'm just a boy who wants some banana bread... :(
01:42
I'm going to use baking powder, and I know it is not the same thing, but at this point, I don't care.
01:46
Ok, we have 5 bananas here. And we have one banana in the fridge look, how brown this banana is...
01:55
Since we have no bowls, I'm making this banana bread..
02:00
I love being Asian!! <3
02:04
So, so far summer vacation has been very uneventful for me.
02:05
Like my summer vacation in Texas... Summer vacation in California has been extremely eventful.
02:10
But the second I came back to Texas, everything slowed down a ton and I was just kind of like sitting around and not really..
02:14
Banana. So, in the past few days I've spent a lot of time at home, doing nothing, and I can't do that.. !
02:21
I am incapable of sitting at home and doing nothing, It drives me crazy, if I could be productive,
02:28
why would I not be productive? and the answer is because, I should be relaxing, but I can't do that relaxing..
02:34
I don't know her. I've never met her... met her once and decided that I didn't like her..
02:41
Oh this banana is so brown and so cold. Oh, so gross. I hate it. So gross. God. It's disgusting!!
02:45
Goodness gracious there you go. Since
02:52
I didn't like doing nothing what I did instead is I wrote like 30 songs in the course
02:55
of like two days. I also edited lots of videos and made lots more videos. I can't relax y'all..
03:00
I tried. I tried so hard, I can't do it. Just not my thing. I really commend people who are good at relaxing..
03:07
I can't do it. I can relax but my form of relaxing is spending time with friends...
03:14
I almost dropped that. But which I have been doing but since I am a very strange teenager
03:19
and I do not have a normal job at Sonic like the rest of my friends do,
03:25
I have no one to spend time with during the day because all of them are working and I am sitting at home because my
03:30
hours of my job making YouTube videos is not normal. I have written so many songs..
03:37
It's a little bit silly. I've recorded as many demos.
03:43
And I'm working on music a lot with some producers and stuff
03:47
The text messages that I send my producers are the
03:52
Weirdest thing ever. They're so funny because they look so bizarre..
03:55
I was texting my producer Mike and all it said was, "You know that part that goes..
ah ah ah ah..?"
04:00
"Well, I wanted to go ah ah ah ah.."
04:06
Oh, and he's like oh
04:10
It's the funniest thing ever. I love making music.
04:11
Music is the coolest thing on Earth and the fact that I'm having the opportunity to make it for
04:14
other people to listen to is, super, super cool and uh...
04:20
I'm mooshing these bananas real good! Those are smooshed. And let's add the eggs. Like I mentioned earlier when I bake,
04:27
I don't really follow the directions. I just- I just make it. It's a loose suggestion
04:33
Fingers have salmonella on them... and I ain't about that salmonella life. Actually, that's not true..
04:44
I eat brownie batter all the time, and I still haven't died yet...
04:50
Maybe I have a death wish, maybe I just have really low self-control..
04:54
Okay, one teaspoon of baking soda..
04:59
Don't have that.. I'm gonna use baking powder instead. It's not going to do the same thing, but..
05:02
sometimes you just...
05:10
You just do stuff..
05:13
with no reason you just... do that.
05:15
But look, I'm sure it'll still taste good. It might not look good though, still tastes good.
05:19
3/4 of a cup of it. 3/4 of a cup is like..
05:28
It's like this much..
05:33
Oh, no. oh my fork is disappearing.
05:38
I've got it.. saved that.
05:40
I don't do that whole...
05:42
I don't, I probably should..
05:45
But I just don't care enough, I guess. We need to melt this butter.
05:48
I finally decided on what major I want to have...
05:53
I was doing a lot of research about what kind of classes UCLA has and...
05:57
I found this perfect, perfect minor for me. UCLA has a school of music and they actually have a minor program
06:07
called music industry. Like, it's the music industry minor, which is so perfect for me because the whole reason why I'm going to college is
06:17
I wanted to learn about the music industry. I wanted to learn about, like, the business side of the music industry.
06:23
So, that is what my minor is going to be and my major is going to be communications.
06:28
That way, if I want to go into the business route of the world, I will have that there for me.
06:32
So, I'm super excited, cuz I'm going to be studying the music industry, while I'm actually in the music industry. It's going to be..
06:39
I might take some fine art classes, but fine arts would never something that I really wanted to do career-wise.
06:50
I love making artwork like, I love painting and stuff like that.
06:57
But, to me, it has always been a lot more of something I do as a de-stresser and, like, as a hobby.
07:02
But that may change, so I'm going to take some fine art classes just to see if I like it.
07:10
It's just not a career that I really want to do but that may change. You know kiddos, they're always changing their minds.. ;)
07:15
I'm looking for apartments, which is a little bit stressful because..
07:22
UCLA happens to be in the middle of Beverly Hills...
07:25
Every single apartment is crazy expensiveeee~ 🎶
07:31
But that's okay, but if actually not that much more expensive than being in a dorm
07:36
It's actually- it might be cheaper depending on where I end up staying. We're just trying our best here trying our best..
07:39
I really hope that I can keep up with
07:46
taking classes at college and working on music at the same time, because I'd really hate to have to compromise either one of them..
07:48
Let's add some chocolate chips to this...
07:55
Depending on how my music career goes, if it really takes off and like I'm doing crazy well, then I'll probably just try to..
07:57
Make the best out of that situation and like pursue that for a bit..
08:06
Maybe take like a year off because I know you're allowed to tak Gap years and stuff like that.
08:09
But, if music doesn't do well,
08:13
Then, I'll just finish college and keep making Youtube videos. I noticed that you guys comment a lot that you're scared that once I..
08:14
get signed to a label or..
08:22
Start working on music a lot more. I'm going to stop making videos. That's not true. I'm not going to stop making videos.
08:24
I don't plan on quitting YouTube once I start making music,
08:30
So, you don't have to worry about that happening..
08:33
This banana bread is almost done. Now, I just have to put it in a...
08:36
Lets get the thingy..!
08:42
Pour into "prepared loaf pan.."
08:44
I'm guessing that means oil it. They're so nondescript about that.
08:46
College is going to be different from high school in the sense that I'm going to have so much more free time so I think
08:50
that I will be able to manage doing both of them at the same time like making music and
08:56
And since I am doing music industry stuff,
09:02
I'm hoping that some of the things that I do in class will overlap with the things that I do out of class, and I'll be able to like knock out an assignment while I'm working.
09:05
I'm really hoping this all works out.
09:14
Time to pour... Ta da~~
09:16
Oh, that's not the prettiest sight I've ever seen.. oW, my wrist..!
09:19
I'm not that strong. Some of you guys pointed out in my latest video that I said,
09:24
The album pure heroine like pure "hero-INE" it's because there are certain words- and not certain-
09:28
There's actually a lot of words that I say really weird for no reason..
09:34
I have an unidentiablah-
09:38
Unidentifiable accent.
09:40
and I've been told that, many times, people tell me that I talk weird and I don't talk weird..
09:41
It's just, I say certain words weird for no reason. For example, heroine, I say like "heroINE."
09:46
I don't know just because my brain tells me so..
09:56
The other day when I was in LA, I was getting into a car and I was talking to my friend summer.
09:58
And the driver was like "Hey, I like your accent. Where are you from?" and I was like?
10:03
Maybe because Japanese was my first language, I have like a weird..
10:09
Pronunciation of words. I noticed that I do very much articulate my words, but I'm sorry if I say certain weird- certain words weird
10:12
Also growing up, I had a stutter.
10:22
But I did have one..
10:24
Talking was not my forte. For most of my life.
10:25
