Week 50: Friend Adventures (Jen)- 31 Kitchen

December 8th, I had a quick dinner chillage with Jen Sempai :D!!!

Since we both live literally one block from one another, we decided to meet up again (its been like 3 months since out last chillage with Cyn), at 31 Kitchen.

Today, the restaurant wasn't busy (yet). We meet up around 1745 so it was quite empty. This restaurant (esp targeting the asian population) is busy at late night, usually around 2000-close. Since I was starving and was heading to the gym for Zumba anyways, I ordered a bigger meal than usual.

I ordered Taro Milk Tea with Tapioca. I normally order slush/smoothie, but due to the amount of sugar in these drinks already, milk tea is much better and doesn't take me a century to finish.

For the main dish, I ordered Pork Belly & Mui Choi with Rice. It was cheap ($7.99) and TOTALLY filling!!!!! I was impressed (Thanks Jen for showing me this option mwahaha). Though, Pork belly is SOOOO Fattening, I didn't mind as much since I knew I was gonna go burn it off by doing Zumba and doing another workout after. Plus, I hadn't eaten much the whole day so it was fine.

It was a nice chillage with Jen Sempai!! She always fun to hangout with, even in high school (with Fushi sempai, Cyn sempai and Julie sempai). I somehow always see her when I'm coming from my night shifts in the subway yet she never notices me T__T (Im wearing a neon orange jacket too haha). Its nice to keep in touch and they've always been inspirational so its a bonus to still be friends and catchup!

Thanks Jen for the quick hangout!!! Lets chill again real soon (lets get Fushi and Julie to come too hehe)

Till Next Time...

Week 48: Friend Adventures (Kimberly & Friends) - Movie/Chatime/허가네

On Thursday, I decided to chill with my girls Kimberly, Scarlet and Olivia! I also got to meet their friend SooAh who was super nice!!!

We started our hangout with a movie, Horrible Bosses 2. I had to admit though the sequel was funny, it wasn't as great as the first one. However, it was still amusing and lots of funny jokes in between. Once the movie was done, we went to meet the others (Scarlet and SooAh) at Chatime Bubble Tea.

We talked about lots of stuff, school life (well for my friends), careers, and other personal stuff! I ordered for the first time Original Black Milk Tea, which was surprisingly really good! I normally a Taro or Chocolate fan, so it was nice to get something different for a change.

Me and Kimberly use to work together at Cineplex (coming up to being a year of friendship WOOT). I worked with her brother when I changed jobs to Hero Burger. Pretty much know the whole family (her older brother use to drive me home from those 3am shift- the struggle). She totally awesome person and one of the few people I still try and keep in touch with from that workplace. She also introduced me to Scarlet, Olivia and now SooAh as well, who are all amazing individuals who want to achieve and become someone in life which is always good to surround and interact with.

Im a Bubble tea fanatic as you can tell from all the stamp cards I have in my wallet. I really should invest in the VIP discount card.

Next, we went to Huh Ga Ne (허가네)  Korean Restaurant. This was my first time going to this restaurant. I usually go to Pyun Won House when I need my Korean Fix, but Kimberly said this place was SOO much better, so I decided to try it. She was correct it was really good and popular (esp at 12am)

It was a nice late night chillage with kind/hardworking people :D! Its good to surround yourself with positive individuals especially if you want to bring good karma towards yourself and lighten up the mood (especially when this life is always involving work, school and lots of stressful events)

Thanks Ladies for the Chillage <3~

Till Next Time...

WEEK 44: Best Friend Adventures (YunJoo)

Today was my day to chill with my best friend YunJoo (aka Steph <3). Had to admit this week was pretty crazy. I worked 7 days straight, day off didn't go as well as I had prayed for it to be, Got sick on the Friday from not dressing well enough on the Thursday night when I went drinking and thus resulting with me STILL having a cold -3-.

Ive known YunJoo since December 2012 when I had to give someone a gift and she (who literally only knew me through text and Facebook! Never met before) picked me up from work to get the gift AND drove me home too!!! As time passed, thus leading to almost 2 years of friendship we realized we have MANY similarities especially with our hardships and struggles which makes it really nice to have someone so kind hearted and understanding by your side.
We decided to meet up this weekend since, we haven't chilled for a while and we had made a lovely deal to help one another. Since I helped her, she treating me out today ;D (our little secret).  So we did a few things today before I went home to sleep for my night shift.

Congee Queen:

YunJoo is REALLY loving Congee

This is my first time going to Congee Queen (I'll write a review on it sometime this week). I must say, I was defiantly impressed and the food was Sooooooooooo GOOOODDDD. But I'll save that for later :P.

We talked about a lot of stuff. As many people who are close to me know, I love to rant especially with all the been happening at work and with stereotypical, immature people who just annoy my life. Actually made me wonder if I should cut them off or be remorseful? Thankfully, I don't associate myself with most of that crowd so for now I'll just have to be very precautions until I make that decision.

Anyways, we talked about other things like how real men act in society, Cars (my friend paid 21k for her beautiful car and now if she wants to sell it, the value is only 10k 0__0 W.T.F), and about Nursing. YunJoo is in the Nursing Program (SO PROUD OF YOU) and is doing absolutely amazing in it!!!!

This is one of the main reason I love hanging out with YunJoo. There are many people who LOVE to complain about their life. I'm no different. I love to complain about how much I struggling to support my Mom and myself, independently and sure when you've been doing this for 7-10 years it REALLY drains you. It sometimes makes you wonder if you didn't help the ones you loved would you be who you are today? However, many people who do complain about how shitty their lives are DONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!

Don't get me wrong, everyone struggles. But if your just gonna complain about it and not ACT upon it, please just go sit in the corner and keep self reflecting till you find your answer. YunJoo is a perfect example of someone who ACTS and worked towards changing her life! Thus, after more than a year has passed and now she is literally reaching Cloud 9. People don't understand how negative individuals and interactions can really contribute to you reaching success or failure. I always love to remind ourselves how BETTER our lives are without such annoying people bringing us down. We save more money, we pamper ourselves without guilt, and were FREE to make our on decisions. So we ended our chat, me feeling ALOT better after talking to her about my past couple of days, and headed to Fairview.

We went to Pandora because they had released a Disney collection charms for the Christmas Season and I was interested in 3-4 of them! So we did a little viewing and shopping and I found exactly what I wanted :D <3 YunJoo also treated me to a charm which has ALOT of meaning to me and am very thankful for. Our experience at Pandora was top notch especially being my second time going there. I wont say much cause I will do a separate review of my Pandora charm collection so far (will link it soon).

OVERALL, the day was really wonderful and a good break. Im a workaholic and really have to squeeze in time for my hangouts so I really hate when they don't go well or to my expectations (or if someone just ruins it with their nuisance). It was short (chilled from 1330-0445) due to me working tonight but it was defiantly something I needed to lift my spirits up.

Thanks YunJoo for being so beautiful inside and out!!!! Till our next hangout...
