Summer Comes to an End

       Last two days of adventures before school starts. I got my food adventure with my cousins and my adventure with my tech group from the past school year.  I got to go to Santa Monica with my cousins and Why Thirsty with my tech group. Both I never been to and they were awesome adventures to explore with the people I love and care about. I couldn't have asked for a better way to end my summer. I'm so grateful to have them in my life. I can't ask for better people. Thanks for making the end of my summer a wonderful one! One more thing, Happy Left Handers' Day! To all the people who are left handed, including me! 

A Cat Day

       Jazz Cat anyone? School starts on Friday, and one thing to do before it occurs is to head down to get my Shabu-shabu on. Jazz Cat! Today calls for a girls day out, with my mom, aunt, sister, and of course me. My sister shared, and we got a medium sized, with beef, and the soup base was Japanese Miso that calls for a Japanese sesame. It was my first time and I have to say, it was good. Not too heavy, kind of light, and it was filling. It brings me back to the good old days when family takes on a big bowl of everything of fish balls, veggies (cabbages and lettuces), glass noodles, and meat at home. It was a very nice cat day.

Lazy Tofu Day

       Happy National Lazy Day! Today may be lazy day, but I've been up the whole day since a little bit before 10 AM. Hey, this may not look early, but it's early for summer mode. (: Anyways, I visited my grandma, went to Costco, Daiso, and some other tiny shopping places with my mom and auntie. The main place I went was OoKook Tofu & BBQ. It was my first time! I liked it a lot. My mom and I shared two dishes. We got Rice with Assorted Vegetables (Stone)+Tofu and Mushroom Tofu. Very delicious! My auntie got Beef Short Rib Soup and Jabchae (Glass Noodles w/ Vegetables). Every dish was really good. It's really light and not too heavy on the stomach. I ate a lot and I really mean a lot. Haha. And of course, I got myself a green tea macaron ice cream to eat. Never too full to eat ice cream. We did our shopping after eating. Once we got home, off we went to sleep. Night everyone. Laziness kicked in real nice. Just in time. 

Americana

       Last week I finally caught up with one of my friends, Susan, who's heading off to college this following school year. I only know her since last school year, but it feels like an eternity I have known her. She is more than just a friend to me. She's like a big sister to me. It won't be the same without her in my last class of the day, always being that one person that can cheer me up and understand my stories and problems. She's amazing, and I know she will go far in life. 

      It was so so nice to hang out with her at Americana. We did a little shopping and stayed mainly at the Barnes and Noble. For lunch, we headed off to the Nordstrom cafe. It was so good! I got the Grilled Chicken Breast Sandwich and boy was it a huge meal. There's A LOT of fries!! It was delicious. I haven't had fries in so long. Before we left Americana, we headed to Sprinkles to buy cupcakes. I got a coconut and a milk chocolate. They are dense, but good. It's heavy a little, so it's best to eat it with milk or ice cream. After that, Susan and I watched an anime movie, Garden of the Words, back at my house. It was really good. My first anime movie I ever watched. That day was one of the best days that week. Can't wait to make more memories with her in the future. 

Special Olympics 2015

       Thursday calls for volunteering! I helped out for the Special Olympics. We were welcoming the German delegates to Monterey Park. It was fun! They were very nice and a few knew how to say my name right! I felt so honored!! They were so so nice!!

       I was working at the volunteer and media sign-in area. Later on I got to be a yogurt girl and fan girl and pass yogurt and fans out to the German delegates. It got so hot though, but at least I put my hair up. I got to be with my friends as well, which was a bonus. It was nice to help out today and meet different people from another country. I got darker though! But it's worth it. I got to hang out with my friends that I haven't since school ended too. It was nice to help out for the event considering MPK is the host town this year. It's nice to be a part of it. 

So pretty! Simple and beautiful. 

My lovely friend Lisa took this one with my phone. At first I didn't want to leave my post to take pictures even though it would only be like two, three feet away. Haha. So I asked her. (: She's amazing.
