Week 45: Best Friend Adventures (Noah)

Today, I got to chill with my Mom and Noah :D!! This was the first time they meet one another, and it was really interesting.

My Mom has issues with other people driving her so if you go to fast she gets all nervous (its SOOO cute xD), so I couldn't stop laughing when Noah was only going btw 80-90 on the highway and my mom was freaking out!!!!! My mom really liked Noah. She thought he was chilled which I believe is rare when your best friend is meeting your MOM! Also my mom is really laid back. When Noah was talking he said "Oh shit" and than he was like "OH...SORRY" and me and my mom died of laughter!!! I swear sometimes at home too so my mom doesn't take offence compared to maybe 2 years ago when she would be like NO SWEARING in the house kinda deal xD!!! Overall, Noah a really good driver so we got to our destination on a nice timely manner! I had to chill with my mom for a bit and took us literally 45-60mins before we got everything checked and cleared -__- sooooo long! So FINALLY, I left my mom (love u mommy :p) and Noah came back and picked me up (I have no idea what he did for the whole hour *_*)

My Mom laughing
(couldn't get a clear picture)

We went to Yorkdale for some nice shopping :D!! Since Noah drove me and my Mom, I decided to treat him to some good lunch/dinner. By this time, it was about 415pm when we reached Yorkdale so we were both starving!! The traffic was horrible!!!! It took about 10 minutes to find parking and the line to get even into Yorkdale parking lot was crazy (15 minutes).

We started off with our lunch/dinner at Pickle Barrel (will write a review on our experience). After dinner, we went around the mall. It was honestly so crowded, ridiculous -3-. I have a few things I have to buy for Christmas shopping. I know what I'm getting Noah (not your keyboard that u want Mr. if your reading this -3-). Also have a general idea of what Im getting for my other best friends. In terms of coordinators at work, probably going to get them Visa gift cards (apparently some have activation fees so I gotta be careful). We went to MK (wanted to view the wallets and they moved into a  MUCH bigger and spacious area of Yorkdale- not opposite of coach anymore), Kate spade, Holt Renfrew, Jack Jones, Top Men/Hudson Bay, Guess, Sport Chek (bought my weights), and went to the source to buy temporary earphones cause my Beats cord has died (R.I.P). I should order a new cord but my Beat headphones are having its own issues so I'll invest in a new one in a month or so. Probably, after christmas since Shopping alone will be about $400-500 bucks for the 7-8 people I'm getting gifts for.

I kinda wanna be cheap with my gifts, but now int today society you have to spend at least $50 or more, and me having a career doesn't help (people expect more sadly). But I've really narrowed down who Im giving gifts too cause honestly at the end of the day, they say thank u and thats it. Just wasted money on people who probably wont last long in your life to begin with.

Got Complimented for my Makeup

In-front of Holt Renfrew

Anyways, it was a good day overall. I really love Noah for his amazing personality and care free character. He is shy but once u get to know him, its so much fun! I love annoying him hehehe! Thanks Noah for always pampering me >:D!!!! (and driving me home, LORD knowsssss if I took the bus from yorkdale I wouldn't get home till 9).

Though I got home at 730pm, I couldn't sleep. Probably slept around 9ish and had to get up at 930 to go to work. I didn't want to be late (I always get Tim Hortons before my night shifts) so I took the 21:48 bus than the usual 22:04 bus. Also it being Saturday and the subway is closed from Eglinton to Bloor so shuttle busing is annoying.

Till Next Hangout....

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...
