Moving + boba

Oh man since wednesday all I've been doing is moving stuff into my dorm. The official move-in day is today at 12pm. I was lucky to be able to check-in on wednesday so I can move in my stuff little by little instead of all in one day. That's too exhausting. I also requested a single bedroom. I hope someone cancels out so I can get my own room. If I don't get it, then no worries cause I don't mind sharing. On friday, I attended a convocation, a little ceremony where I became an official student of my university. :D

On saturday, Sho took me to Honey Boba. A new boba place that opened near my house. I ordered Pineapple Grapefruit Ice Crystal and Sho ordered Ohau Pineapple Ice Tea. He didn't like his drink. It didn't taste like pineapple at all. It tasted more like jasmine. Besides Sho's disappointing boba, we really liked the interior of the place. I wished my room looked like the interior.

Shibuya LA

Yay! I'm glad to say that I'm finally over my cold. Finally! It took 4 weeks. (;¬_¬)
Time to get back to blogging!
So these photos were taken end of June. Few days before Anime Expo.

June 23
My friend June invited me out. I came late to the meetup cause I got stuck in traffic and also had trouble finding the place. The meetup was at Shibuya LA owned by our friend, Elly. She owns two stores in San Gabriel. One is a lingerie store selling cute underwear from Japan like aimerfeel. The other store selling clothing from Japan like Liz Lisa, TRALALA, WC, Miura.. etc.

Here's her store interior.


We were waiting for other girls to show up so to pass time Ellly wanted us to model summer collection of Liz Lisa. How nice of her.

Group Photo

I was happy to be Elly's store model for a day. The group photo would've looked better if I didn't wear those black stockings. I couldn't take them off because I had a really awkward sunburn on my legs. LOL. Afterwards, we ate dinner at June's work place Gatten Sushi. It's a revolving sushi bar.

In case you guys were wondering why I was wearing blue eyeshadow, I was initially wearing this top before.


If you guys live in the so cali area, check out Elly's stores.

Frank & Sons & Phoenix

3/10

I drove my bf to City of Industry to check Frank & Sons. F&S is a large collectible show that is open 2 days out of the week. People can go there to buy, sell, or trade their collectibles. My bf loves collecting old school Transformers figs and Gundams so he was pretty happy that we were going. LOL. He found a few vendors that were selling the figurines he wanted but were pricey. He did manage to buy one thing. He had me hold it and took a pic.





For lunch, we ate at Phoenix. Chinese casual-dining restaurant. The drinks were amazingly good ^o^/ Food was yummy too.


Mixed fruits tapioca & Fresh Fruits Tropical Iced Tea


Assorted Fried Dim Sum


Crispy Duck


Fried rice

My make-up that day was very plain. No eyelashes or circle lens. Just basic make-up. At least I curled my hair.

Round 1 Fun

Drove to Rowland Heights beginning of Feb. Kevin and Sho tagged along. He did some bowling and played video games at Round 1. We even tried to win prizes from UFO/Claw machines. For dinner, we ate at Banana Bay.

Gun Range

After the chinese new year parade, I hung out with Sho and my best bro Abhi. He took us to Insight Shooting Range. He said "you need to experience this" LOL. The moment we arrived,  I was already nervous. The gun shots were unbearably loud even with the ear protectors on. After some time (30mins) I got used to it. Abhi taught us the basics: how to pick up, load, and shoot a gun. The guns used H&K USP 9mm, Springfield 1911, and a Smith & Wesson 357.

Abhi was really impressed at our gun skills. It was probably because Abhi is a good teacher or playing Time Crisis game really paid off. For dinner, we ate at Kagura.

Chinese New Year Parade

January 28, 2012

Chinatown in LA had their annual 113th Golden Dragon Parade. My mom had some free time so she wanted to watch it. I remember being in the parade back in middle school when I use to take Kung Fu (was a Jet Li fan). We found a good spot right where the parade begins. I brought a foldable chair for my mom to sit while I stood up. Kinda sad that I didn't see my old Kung Fu school in the parade. There were lots of marching bands, politicians, and a random batmobile.












After the parade, everyone was either running to leave LA to beat traffic or running to eat. We rushed over the nearest restaurant called Hop Li. I ordered BBQ Roasted Duck and my mother ordered Rock Cod on vegetables. Yum!

New Dresser

New furniture for 2012!

My dad donated his big clunker dresser to Goodwill and wanted mine cause it was smaller. He gave me $150 to find a new one. I went to IKEA with Sho and found a 4-draw dresser from MALM series for $99.99.

I also bought two sets of 6 organizer boxes for $7.99 per set.
After two hours of building the dresser.. here it is!
