Light up the world!

Happy Fourth of July bitchezzz! ♥ Hope you all had a fun and safe Fourth of July. Sorry to my darling English readers, haha. MIA no longer! Man, I haven't been on this for a really long time! School, work and friends have been keeping me busy this summer. Can you believe I have whack ass summer school? What a joke... There just aren't enough hours in a day and I've hardly had some time to myself to think. Okay, time for long lost updates. Be prepared for lots of pictures!

Uh... where did I last leave off with my life?... Oh right.

Spent time with my teammate and ate Burmese food at Mandalay. You really feel the essence of this place with its decor. The servers are dressed in their Burmese attire and are very sweet. Teammate ordered the Chicken Samusa which was good. The shape reminded me of a crab meat rangoon from my folks' place back in the day. I ordered the Nan Gyi Dok and teammate ordered the mango chicken, and the server helped us mix all the ingredients together. There's something about warm mango that I don't like, lol. After dinner we watched The Orphan. "HOROMONE DISEASES ARE NO JOKE MAN! NO JOKE!" Gawd, that movie was creepy.

June 11th, 2011
Dyed my hair back to black... AGAIN. Down ass bitch Amylatte helped me, wdup~. Washed the hair dye out and we went to eat sushi. As I've mentioned time and time again, sushi just isn't my cup of tea. I detest the slimy texture and the very seafood taste of sushi. Sushi's an acquired taste but I was willing to try. Stopped by Little Tokyo and got a bento box. Jonathan shared his plate of "delicious" sushi with me. It's actually not that bad I guess? Of course I have to eat it with lite soy sauce and wasabi. Little Tokyo wasn't that great actually. Service was pretty poor and we got seated next to an excessively out spoken young man with holes in his shirt. He kept rambling on about Facebook and how much he hates it though he has one himself... COOL STORY BRO! TELL IT AGAIN!!! Whatevs, I decided to try their beef teriyaki. It tasted like steak... yummy. If I were to come back, I'd get the beef teriyaki again.

While school was gradually taking over my life... I decided I needed to get my nails done and that's exactly what I did. I brought my laptop to the nail salon too, so I could type away at this crappy essay. See how diligent I am?!?!11 Not to forget I had to get dinner with a friend of mine (more or less like a brother to me) that I hadn't seen in two years. So we headed over to Gordon Biersch for some dinner. Reservations for 7:15pm but got there close to 8pm, but we got seated fairly quickly. We ordered the garlic fries, mmm. I ordered the tuscan chicken pasta entree while my friend ordered the brewer's chicken. Not a good place to talk to someone, especially while a mass of Giants fans are around watching the game. We caught up for the most part anyways. Stayed for about two hours before we left (yeah, we had a lot to talk about). Crazy to see someone after two years and see how much they've changed or grown.

June 17th, 2011
Got Joe's Crab Shack again with teammate this time. The service again is really upbeat and funny but it's too bad that the crab didn't taste as good as the first time I was here. Our waiter wrote on our bibs! Sneaky... My said, "I came to San Francisco and got crabs." Teammate's say, "My waiter gave me crabs! :(" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The crab shell was really hard to peel and became stringy, yuck. I ordered the Joe's classic steampot while teammate ordered the KJ steampot. The seared scallops from the KJ steampot were really good. After dinner we walked into a store that sold saltwater taffy! I never see these places around... We got a bag of taffy and headed to Crepe Temptations. I ordered the red velvet cake crepe.. o__O why so sweet, almost went into diabetic shock. Teammate ordered the Oreo madness crepe with vanilla ice cream. OMG, MY EFFING FAVORITE. They give you a whole Oreo, and crush some and sprinkle it on top. UGH, SO DERICIOUZ.

June 20th, 2011
The week started to get crazy hot! -___-' After class I hung out with my best friend and we went to eat ramen at Majikku. Place isn't bad, I ordered the garlic kimchee ramen. MM, YUSOGUDFOR. I had been craving vanilla Coke for a while so we headed over to Walgreens to get some. Trying to kill time so best said he was going to get something installed in his car, which meant I get to drive! P.S. AYO BEST, you're hella annoying when your swerve in and out of the lane. After getting his car back, we went to get Nubi! They have these new popping boba, it's basically like those big fish eggs that pop when you chew it, but these are yogurt filled. After a long day, I was craving some chicken wings, so we stopped by Wingstop. Forget the Mild or Original wings, just go for the crazy ones like garlic parmesan and etc.

June 23rd, 2011
Happy birthday Teammate! Whoot. Surprised him at his work place to drop off his present. Then I went to class with him, lol. After class, we went to go eat for his birthday (that dinner still isn't considered a birthday dinner to me). Ate at The Richmond, place was pretty darn good. We got started with the whiskey braised oxtail with a Maine diver scallop. Before we got our real appetizer we were given complementary deviled eggs and bread with an assortment of butters. Calamata olive, butter with coarse sea salt and chive. My favorite was the calamata. I ordered the double down pan fried chicken with stuffing entree (don't remember what its called o_o). And teammate ordered the seared salmon with veggies (don't remember what this was called either). (They should update their online menu??) For dessert we had the apple turnover. (Why do I always order this? lol) My chicken entree was really good and filling. I enjoyed the crisp of the chicken and the breaded stuffing in between. Teammate's salmon was good too, it was all in one piece when you dug your fork into it and didn't split into little pieces that just stuck to your plate. The apple turnover was really good. I tend to order desserts that come with ice cream. The apple turnover was flaky and warm.

June 24th, 2011
Hung out with teammate because it was his birthday weekend. I made reservations for a nice place to spend his actual birthday dinner but had to cancel because we couldn't make it in time. We went to Target first. Then we headed over to have shabu shabu. Shabu Lounge was pretty good. I liked the beef and it was a bajillion times better than what I had at Shabu Pub. I think the dinner set is already filling enough, but they offer the all you can eat as well. After dinner we went to get Crepe Temptations... AGAIN! Haha, this time we only got one Oreo Madness to share. NOM NOM NOM. Why're you guys so good.

June 25th, 2011
Spent another relaxing day with teammate. Haha, what a good birthday weekend. We had a late lunch at Noriega Teriyaki. Feeling crazy so I went ahead and ordered two plates of sushi. Teammate ordered 2 plates too, so we had 4 plates in total. I didn't even get to finish any of my rolls, haha. Sushi is so filling, eh? Gay pride parade was this day so we got take out from Luna Park again, haha. I ordered the "tasty burger"... it wasn't tasty. It was dry and burnt. :'( You disappoint me Luna Park, teammate ordered the roasted chicken entree again, and we got the chocolate bread pudding dessert.. again. Why is that dessert so damn delicious?! It's so nice to have a relaxing day with him.

July 1st, 2011
Finally tried PPQ for the first time. I really don't understand why it's so good. I hear how good the garlic noodles are, but they're so crappy??? I ordered the garlic noodles and sizzling pork while teammate ordered the five spices chicken. All were mediocre and boring. The garlic noodles tasted dry and not like garlic at all. Sizzling pork was ALRIGHT, and the chicken was ALRIGHT. Nothing too fancy or anything you can't get somewhere else. Not worth it to eat here. Should have listened to my sister. T___T' After dinner we watched Transformers 3 in 3D. Hot damn Rosie Huntington! I wish I had your bewbz and your legz and your buttox. :( Why you gotta be so lang lui, gurlll! Totally jizzed in my pants because of all the beautiful cars. O_O omg.

July 2nd, 2011
Got to go shopping with best friend even though he hates it. Before we went shopping we stopped by for some sushi. WHY DO YOU GUYS KEEP MAKING ME EAT SUSHI?!?!?!?!?!1111 I ordered the croquette.... ugh big mistake. It was like a Chinese hash brown. But they gave us complementary shrimp skewers that were really good. Best ordered the Bay Bridge roll and the hamachi roll. Bay Bridge and hamachi roll was really good. Like amazing? I don't normally say this about sushi. Gonna go back and try some more. Best dropped me off at home after shopping and I went to dinner with my family at La Vie. This place is really good actually, I didn't expect it at all. We had chicken pho, beef pho, flaming beef, garlic noodles and some other things that I wasn't paying any attention to. I don't like to put effort into eating my food like... cracking away at crab legs for dayz before I can get any crab meat out of it, or eating chicken wings and cleaning off the bones, or having to dip the rice paper into hot water and putting ingredients in it. I'm so lazy. :( I know. All the food was pretty amazing and definitely better than what I had at PPQ.

Happy Fourth of July! Teammate and I went to have "brunch" ended up to be a day of failz. HAHA. I wanted to go to Outerlands but they're closed on Mondays, so we headed to Red Door Cafe and there was a huge line! Forget waiting so we went to Ella's instead. I think I got the potato scramble? (I never remember what the names of the things I order. :() Teammate ordered the chicken hash. The dish I ordered had cheese but plenty of veggies, but I still feel like I gained 10 lbs. Teammate's chicken hash was kind of dry, meh, I don't like dry chicken. I don't mind coming back. After brunch we headed over to Teammate's friend's bbq for a bit, but before that we had to go pick up some ice. Headed to Safeway and they had no ice, then to the liquor store, then to Lucky's. Third time's the charm right? After the bbq we chilled for a little bit skipped dinner to see the fireworks which was a big fail too and then headed to dinner. MM, time for ramen and chocolate fondue!

Anyways, trying to be vegetarian isn't really working because I keep cheating, however, I'm eating way more veggies than I used to and I'm drinking more water. I even picked up jogging a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't gone since. I can't reiterate enough that there's not enough hours in a day to do things. School, work, friends, homework, sleep, where's the time?! I can't wait for summer school to be officially over in about two weeks. Once summer school is over, then comes the fun. Gotta powerhouse through these next two weeks. Toodles darlings! ♥

You wanna ride with me cause you say that she boring

Man, I haven't blogged in so long, I don't even know where to start.

Well, basically I've been going to new places and exploring as of late. There's a world out there for me to see and I'm determined to do so. There's no time or room for worry, routine or complacency, just happiness, excitement and spontaneity. It's all about hedonism! HAHA cheers bitches.

Anyways, back to what I was saying... So a couple of weeks ago, I realized I really needed a night out with 4MUL2 minus 2. I wanted to dye my hair back to black because the black I dyed it a while back had already faded back to this ugly brown color. (I need to get a haircut too. Damn you split ends.) So I invited them all to my humble abode, changed my shirt, and searched frantically for the last box of my black hair dye. Unfortunately, the box of hair dye didn't show up so I gave up and we went to go eat dinner instead. I had a hankering for seafood so we, actually... I decided to go to SJ Crawfish. (Since they ditched me to have Joe's Crab Shack while I was slaving away on my stupid take home final.) The name still boggles my mind... I ordered the dungeness crab (Dude, srzly? How does thou spell "dungeness" crab??//) Everyone else ordered pho or a rice plate... (lozerz) Finally got my crab and started cracking away! This place is no Boiling Crab but it was still good. MMM, delicious.

Then it was the Memorial Day weekend! Had brunch with my teammate at Beach Chalet. Food and service was subpar... meh it was expected from all the reviews on Yelp. Got the window seat that we requested, whoooot. I ordered the French toast breakfast with black forest ham while teammate got the dungeness crab benedict. My french toast was... aiiight. Nothing special for $11. It was a little burnt on the opposite side, was luke warm and looked like it had been sitting out for a while. Teammate's breakfast was slightly more appealing only I would have done it without the eggs. Damn those gooey eggs... but hey at least the breakfast potatoes were good. Later on in the evening, we went to go eat at Firefly. The restaurant had such a warm and cozy feel too it. Service was a tad bit awkward but friendly. We ordered the mixed lettuces with smoked tomatoes, gorganzola, sunflower seeds and basil vinaigrette for starters, then I ordered the green garlic and spring onion stuffed artichokes with squash ribbons, fava beans and nettle pesto, while teammate ordered the glazed duck breast with farro, brooks cherries and roasted little gem lettuce. GAH! My very first actual vegetarian dish. Had to try teammate's duck dish so I guess that killed it. Presentation of my dish was trippy! @__@ Teammate's duck dish was really good, I've never tasted duck like that before.

Last Wednesday I got to spend time and catch up with my best friend and eat chocolate fondue! Right after I had to help him make deliveries wth. Finally made it to "dinner" and the table next to us was jocking our fresh and ordered chocolate fondue too, lol. Dude was talking so loud... Cool story, bro!

Got to try Turkish cuisine on Friday. I've never had Turkish... hrmm. Teammate ordered the chicken kebab for the both of us, then he got the Beyti... (OMG, y u so gud?) I got the beef turlu, which was... meh kind of boring to say the least. It was okay but not worth paying $12 for.

The next day I went to a fashion shoot with my best friend. Invited by my oh so awesome photographer. The photographer was shooting KENCHEN pieces. Have you guys heard of him? Going to be a big name, I think a store is opening up at my local mall too! I was only a couple of feet away from him, OMG. @__@ Why didn't I get an autograph??? We got there around 6pm, but it didn't start until maybe 9pm. Best and I stayed for a little bit and chatted with my photographer and another photographer. My photographer kept pushing me to do some shots, no thanks. :( I didn't stay the full time because one, I was super tired, and two, best and I were hungry. We took a stroll around and NO ONE WAS OPEN. NO ONE! Not even Starbucks! What is this fuckery???/// I told the photographer I was going to leave and thanked him for inviting me. The studio was definitely a cute little bachelor pad, I want one LOL. We went close by to have some sandwiches, then we sat by the bay and talked about life and how much it sucks, haha. The bay looks so nice at night. Then I debated if I should go bowling with my buddies. So tired, so sluggish. I decided against it and felt a shower and sleep was what I really needed. Fell asleep around 11:30pm until teammate decided to call me at 3am... We talked until the sun came up, wth. Who does that? LOL I heard the birds chirp and saw my room light up. WHO DOES THAT?!

On Sunday night I got to spend time with my down ass bitch Amylatte. WDUP GURL. We went to have some dessert, more like dinner for me. I got the deep fried chicken wings with instant ramen. Wth, man I hate putting in work for food. I just want to eat!!! Caught up with my down ass bitch, can never be bored with her. :)

Spent a whole day with my teammate on Monday again. Had dim sum for brunch this time! I think I ordered too much food, AIYA. Got the usual, fong zhou, zar leurng, char siew bao, nai wong bao, danh taht, shrimp cheurng fun, crispy mango roll, I think there was more too. O_o waiter said, "that's a lot of food for two people." LOLUMAD? Man, so filling, so we had to pack it up. In the evening we went to Lafitte for dinner. MMM YUMMY. Got a beautiful look at the pier, even though it was super gloomy outside. :( Got seated in the tent-looking area. Super cute and cozy. The lights were strung across the ceiling and the place kind of had that wedding party in the backyard look to it. I ordered the NY Steak Frites & Béarnaise Sauce, while teammate ordered the Roast Chicken "Poulet Grandmere" Pour Deux. The waiter told us that the chicken takes about 30 minutes to make because it's a WHOLE CHICKEN. NOM NOM NOM. Enough for 2 people! Teammate went with the Fricassee de Lapin instead. RABBIT MEATZ! We finally got our dishes and lo and behold what's my dish look like?! Something straight out of Ruth's Chris steak house, haha. The steak wasn't as explosive as the one at Ruth's but still worth trying. Teammate's dish came out... rabbit meatz? I tried a piece and it was like chicken meat or fish but then the more I chewed it, the more it felt gooey-er and gooey-er... odd. What a weird texture, I totally thought it would have a chewy texture, like that of lamb meat.


Ain't no thang but a chicken wang.

I get a bib, and they didn't! MWAHAHAHA.

Time to du da cracken.
