Home For Thanksgiving

        Hello everyone! Sorry I have been not posting anything on my blog lately. I have been swamped with lots of work to do. 

        Nevertheless, I spend my Thanksgiving break at home with my family. I tried to get as much eating in as possible before the Tuesday of my break because I was getting my wisdom teeth out. It was really nice to be with my family and catch up with some friends on the first Sunday I was back. The first Saturday I was back, my parents and I went to Rowland Heights. We ate at Slurpin' Ramen Bar, then off we went to Chelo Creamery. My family and I went to Westfield Santa Anita Mall and ate at Side Chick. We also tried Matcha Matcha and I tried Uncle Tetsu for the first time. Everything was great and wonderful. Great food with great company. On the first Sunday back, I caught up with some friends at Macchiato. First time there actually. You would think being a local, I would have tried Macchiato ages ago. Nope. I even had the seafood and Chinese food I wanted for the break. When in college, you tend to miss the food you grow up eating. 

        To top it off, I was able to watch Moana as stated in the previous post. I can't wait to be going home today. It is 1:15 now, in the morning. Definitely today is going to be one bittersweet day. Stay tuned.

        Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends! Eat lots with love ones!
        I had the pleasure of watching Moana today with my mom and sister. It was such a wonderful movie. I literally cried throughout the whole movie. I never cried so much watching a movie in my life until this one. The movie touched me in the heart because I felt like Moana. I went into college as a freshman not knowing whether to stick with accounting as my business administration concentration or change it to entertainment and tourism management. I am in the midst of finding my own identity, just like Moana was in the movie. Sometimes it takes a little push to make us pursue what we were truly meant for. A little voice will always be inside you, telling you to go for it. Take that chance and listen to it. It could be the best decision you ever make. Even if it goes against the norm. Take the risk.
        Moana really made me realize I made a right choice, to pursue something I love. I may come across some obstacles like Moana did along her journey, but I know it will be worth it at the end. Watching Moana was an emotional rollercoaster, with lots of water works, but I think it was especially emotional for me than most Disney movies I watch because it was exactly what I needed to reassure my decision I have made. This movie is another sign from up above, letting me know that I am right to continue my pursuit into the entertainment industry.
        While I was watching the movie, I was in love with the graphics, the message of the movie, and just literally everything. It made me that much more excited to get into the entertainment industry. I watched the credits roll by, and this time, unlike the other times, I was more wowed by all the people who made the movie happen. For some reason, seeing all the names made me more anxious and excited when I will be a part of that list. I will be able to get to work with a whole bunch of people to make a film production come into life and make it into the theatres. I can't wait!

Cousin Bonding: Pita Hot X Inside SKUP

       It's Friday! What does that call for? A break! More specifically, cousin bonding! My cousin came home from Massachusetts for the week after first quarter. I am so happy to hang out with her again. It has been a while since I seen her. She took me out to eat in Fullerton. We went to Pita Hot and Inside SKUP afterwards. I ordered the Chicken Kabab Plate at Pita Hot and had the Vietnamese Coffee with Red Velvet cookies at Inside SKUP. First time trying these places for the both of us and they were amazing. It was so nice to catch up on literally everything going on since the summer. Definitely a good day.

(I apologize for the lighting in the last few pictures. The positions of the lights in the shop was not cooperating with me)
