Foodie Holidays

     

     Happy New Year's Eve everyone! It has definitely been a crazy 2015 for me. You guys? I like to thank you all first before I say anything else for supporting me and reading my blog posts. (: Thank you! 

     For the past weeks I had to eat clear and plain food because of my surgery. BUT a month passed and so I'm free! I get to eat eggs and seafood and all the other goodies I have missed out on. Yay! Some of the places I went this winter break are Shin-Sen-Gumi and headed to Sweet Heart Dessert House. Ramen and cold dessert. Perfect combo for the cold weather huh? After that, another trip to a wonderful place called Disney on Ice to see Frozen! It was a great show! It was so funny how they separated Olaf like in the movie, so he was a head and a body. And the body was moving on its own! After the show, we walked to the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center. Pretty lights!

     Off to a three girls bonding date with mom and sister. My sister took us to Russell's for breakfast, Afters Ice Cream, and Blackball Dessert. My first time for all three! That was a great day. 

     One night, my mom made tomato pork chop rice for dinner. It was really good! Crazy good food this month! 

     Squeezed in three posts in one day. A new record for me. Good way to end 2015, 2016 here I come. 

Float Decoration

        It's that time once again. Float decoration. Rose Parade. I went with my friend, Sandy, and despite it wasn't the greatest first day we volunteered, second day made up for it. On the first day, we got stuck washing the paint brushes. Some people came and dropped off more instead of washing their own. We washed for about 3 hours. Not fun. It was my friend's first time volunteering. I felt so awful to give her such a terrible experience. Luckily, some ladies that work there realized we were working way too long outside washing those brushes and moved us onto the float. I was able to decorate the inside of the castle on Downtown Abby float. 

        The second day, we got to work on the Singpoli float, with the breathing dragon. It was fun! Definitely a better experience for my friend. We put glue on the flowers and later got to put them on. That's my favorite job. I'm glad my friend came with me so we can bond more. I can't wait to see all the floats tomorrow! 

Reunited

        Monday. Tech group day. Finally got to catch up with our little group of five. It was hard to find a day and time, but we managed in four days. Woot woot! We decided to go bowling at Round 1 and then after we headed to Chelo Creamery. It was super duper fun! I haven't bowled since forever. The last time, I used bumpers. So... it's been a while. I wasn't too bad. Several gutter shots, but it was still really fun. I tried the Cactus Bloom when we went to Chelo Creamery and we bumped into two other friends. We drove in a circle to find the ice cream place. We even got lost going home. But we did it together. Lost and scared together. We came out alive though! Don't worry. I can't wait for more adventures with my lovely group of friends this coming year in 2016.

Sister Date

       Happy Holidays everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas day. May each and every one of you have wonderful adventures and joy during the holidays. Today I went with my sister to City of Industry. Stopped by at Jazz Cat for some shabu shabu. We shared a regular and then we headed out for Chelo Creamery. First time! For the both of us. It was really good. We got the Good Zooky. The green tea and the red bean was perfect together. Topped with the mochi. Delicious! It was a great little adventure with my big sister. I will take her out and drive once I get my license. For now, I must ask her to drive me places, but the tables will turn. Real soon!

Foods, Foods, Foods

             It has been about one month since I have tried these two beautiful deserts and had one last Hanashima run. I'm missing so much foods at the moment! Must cut back on certain foods because the nurses said so. Oh wells. I will be able to eat them all soon enough! They will be waiting for me to stop by to eat them again! ^-^ I tried Hooshik and Kung Fu Soy for the first time a few days before surgery. At Hooshik, my mom and I ordered the Red Bean Milk Falling Snow and at Kung Fu Soy, we got the Shaolin #4, Tofu Pudding. They were delicious! It was cold that day, but it was worth two dessert runs! The day before surgery, I had to stop by Hanashima. I like Japanese food, and it's been a while since I went there.

To the End of Another Chapter

November 4, 2015 

       It's been a month and six days since I last posted. Sorry my fellow readers! I've been busy with college applications, tests, and surgery. Yup, you read it right, surgery (this was the thing I was referring to back in my Oct. 15 post). I'm still recovering at the moment, but I'm getting better each day! It's going to take about a month more, but I got this! I will be okay. No need to worry! I'll be back on my blog soon enough. I apologize for not notifying you guys sooner. It's been a crazy month in November. Deadlines, decisions, and choices. Plus school. And of course, surgery. There was a lot to deal with this past month. 

       BUT December has started on a good note! I got accepted to CSUF! My first college acceptance. I was so excited, I didn't believe what I was reading. I read it to my dad to check, and then I showed it to my sister as well. It felt so surreal. I felt as if a burden has been lifted off of me. Getting accepted to at least one college. Check. I'm going to college! It was one of the nicest little gifts to receive during this hard time. 

       Hopefully everyone is starting December on the right note as well! Nineteen more days til Christmas. Twenty-five more days til the very end of the month. Meaning one thing: 2016. Ahhh! Excited for the new year, but it's crazy how fast time is going. Enjoy the rest of 2015 everyone!
