★ food and steph★

( ^_^)／ やぁ！ I have been more frequent with my posts. YAY! :) proud? PROUD!! 

So a few days ago, my friends and I decided to throw a karaoke-night at Round1 for our friend Steph as she is going to move to NorCal! O_O Y U LEAVE US STEFU?!

It will be weird since everyone always goes to her place to hang out and bum...but now she will be gone! You know what though, I am very happy for her! 

STEF I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!

As an illustrator (I wouldn't know since I am not one, but this is what I think ;x), I always imagined it to be hard to get work since some companies are going for a certain "style". Of course, each illustrator has their own personalized touch, so I always imagined it to be difficult to find the right company! Anywho, I hope she does well, learns plenty, and progress in the industry! GAMBATTE!!

You can see her work on dA and Tumblr!

ｵﾒﾃﾞﾀｸﾅｹﾞ!(ﾉ≧∇≦)ﾉ ﾐ ┸┸ ﾑｷｰｰｰｰ!!!

So I started off going to Koto's place first to drive to Steph's, then we carpool over. The first thing I saw:

They were playing aggressively! Pocky (underneath the white fluff) was gnawing at Shia's face e_e;. We bummed around a bit in her room before going to Steph's since we were early (and her place is like 10min. away only!). Koto (FINALLY) gave me the pokute amigurumi she made for me a while back; it was lost in her piles of cosplay =_=;.

             

Okay, EVERYONE says it looks scary, but this is actually innocent and cute-ish... from the anime Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu. Here is the anime image of several of them:

 

Ya..okay it's still kind of creepy, but I can't help but like weird creepy-ish weird/cute things? LOL! Watch the anime!!! It's actually pretty funny XD

Okay so when everyone got to Steph's house, we headed over to Round1 for food and karaoke! A WHOLE ROOM TO OURSELVES!!

My order:

Chili cheese fries with Round1 Burger (that's what it said on the menu lol!)

IT WAS DELICIOUS. I don't know if it was due to my hunger or if it was really that delicious.


More pictures!!!

 

Okay, so John and I tried to make a star..

 

But failed..

..so instead, I improvised..

 

WITH AN APP ON MY PHONE LOLLLLL! ;x Ever since I got a smart phone (Samsung Galaxy SII), I have been too lazy to use my digital camera! Who needs it when you have awesome apps, 8.0 megapixels, and a bajillion filters and photo-editing apps? NOT ME! (￣▽￣)ノ＿彡☆バンバン！!

Got to admit, I went to the restroom and passed by many purikura booths... so I went into one and took pictures of my outfit the best I can..

Kind of failed since my arms are not as long as a meter LOLL! ;x

 

John take my picture? Nah. XD

 

Notice my face is rather naked! I have been going pro-minimal, so more natural makeup!! Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ

We stayed out pretty late, and had lots of singing (although I was too embarrassed to really sing e-e)! GOOD LUCK STEPH!!!

Of course, some random foods I had the past week: 

KOREAN HOTPOT SOUP THING. This place was SO good. I definitely need to come back again!

 

I swear this place is all about recycling. After the soup was done, they put in some oil and some kimchi and rice, along with some other spices, to make some kimchi fried rice! Also, since we had TWO pots of soups, they actually hand tossed noodles inside the other pot of leftover broth! DELICIOUS!! And right after that we had two different dessert soups; one more sour and refreshing, other tasted like honey chrystanthemum tea. SO GOOD. Do visit Ondal 2 if you have big party of people who want to just sit and eat and chat!

AND WE WANTED MORE!! Went to Ice Kiss in Koreatown to get shaved ice. So noms!!

σ(´~｀*)ﾑｼｬﾑｼｬ(*´▽｀)◇ゞｺﾞｸｺﾞｸ(*´▽｀*)=3ﾊｱｰﾃﾞﾘｼｬｽ♪

Ice Kiss Shaved Ice

Some other things I have been hooked on to...

..if you are my friend on Facebook, then you know that I recently got hooked onto crochet again! Koto gave me some super soft yarn, and so I made some accessories!!

         

      

 I WANT MORE YARN!! Maybe I'll do commissions... we'll see! :P

Random, but I had a day out with my mom, and indulged in some noodle soup stuffs:

 

Seriously, will I EVER tire of noodle soup dishes? NEVAR!!!!

Stay tuned as I have been finding more things to post on!  (^･ｪ･)ｼﾞｰ

Food & Daiso! ♥

(〃　´　　▽　　｀　　)ﾉ"▽ ちわぁ♪ Hi hi everyone!! Haven't been doing too much lately, so this is a random post!

Firstly, I realized I haven't really been posting food.. so here it is! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

FOOD STUFFS!

Mixed meat with beans, green cauliflower (??? WHAT?!!), and mom's healthy mixed rice.

 My mom has been insistent in putting a variety of beans in the rice. She says it helps stimulate the blood flow so my dark eyebags/circles will go away. Thanks mother. （￣へ￣）

Chicken Salad Sandwich

 I forgot to bring my lunch, and so I ordered from the cafeteria! There was a salad and sandwich bar, so I opted to make the ultimate sandwich!! PAHAHAHAHAH~! Wheat bread with chicken salad, mayonnaise, tomatoes, mushrooms, and white onion inside. Complete sandwich is then lightly toasted and cut in half. So good! ヽ(　　´　　∇　　｀　　)ノ ﾜｰｲ

 

 Got these at Daiso! FINALLY THERE IS ONE OPEN NEAR ME! Got some snacks for the munchies!

Tiramisu

Fruit Tart

Shared some dessert with friends at Urth Caffe. Very cute place, but was so packed!!

El Pedro dish with steak substitute ;x

CUBAN FOOD! This was so delicious... it tasted like a super healthy taco! Brought to you by Mambo's Cafe.

Vita Chrysanthemum Tea

Random fact, one of my favorite teas is chrysanthemum! I prefer getting the actual dried flowers for tea, but this is easy to grab on the go!  ( ^‐^)_且~~

         

 Wait...these are not food...

THAT IS CORRECT! NEXT PART OF MY ENTRY..

SHOPPING!!! ＼（＾∀＾）メ（＾∀＾）ノ

For a while, I have been the most jealous for those who have cute Japanese shops near. Though it is not far for me to just drop by Little Tokyo, sometimes I would wish things were less.. pricey? Quality comes first, but for some things, I don't need to have super crazy quality! ..Although that is always nice -(♥u♥)-

..and then I heard that a Daiso opened. Cup your ears, I'm going to scream..

... 

...

...

...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

L(・∀・o)ｵｰｰ(・|∀|・)ｰｰｲ!!(o・∀・)」

For those of you who have not been to a Daiso before, it is basically like Dollar Tree or 99cent Store, but instead it's more like $1.50 store... and products are Japanese. I love this place because they carry a variety of EVERYTHING!!

Okay, without further spamming of screams and emotes, here are some pictures of the new Daiso store.

Koto, Aaron, Rayna

Thank you Bear (Aaron's nickname ;x) for driving us! After purchases, I realized I did not take any photos, so my lovely friends waited for me outside as I ran in to take some snips! 仲良し(*･∀･)／♡＼(･∀･*)だよ

 

THIS STORE IS HUGE. I swear it was like going into a Walmart.. but BETTER!! （☆ー☆ ) BUY ALL THE THINGS!

The line for checkout was hugging against their wall. CRAZY.

BUY ALL THE MAKEUPS!

Part of my haul, close-up!

My haul!

 So collectively, us four purchased about $130 USD worth of Daiso products. You know what $130 worth of product looks like? ∑(O_O；)Shock！

I stood on top of the couch to get this picture.

6 ft x 6 ft of product

 

 I purchased only $22 worth of product... and I bought 14 items! PRETTY SWEET DEAL! ♥

 Prior to our adventure, we had hawaiian barbeque at a local mom&pop restaurant.

    

My order, Volcano Bowl! Oishii~

Of course, I also conveniently received my package from another online order the same week! Addicted? Nah... :x

 

      

I GOT MY NEW EYELASH CURLER!!
 For those of you who have "Asian" eyes, I highly recommend Shiseido or Shu Uemura (which is discontinued in U.S.) eyelash curler. Shiseido is perfect for those with "shorter" eyes (I think this applies for most Asians), and Shu Uemura is perfect for those who have longer (I think this is mostly for Koreans). I originally used Shu Uemura, but my end lashes never seem to get curled right.. and I can't replace the rubber part since it is now discontinued at states! AHHH!! X___X

So far I am loving my Shiseido curler. I highly recommend purchasing this online if you are..

1. Willing to wait 2-4 weeks (I got mine in 2 weeks! Maybe I got lucky this time?!)

2. Want to save money

I purchased this for about $13 on eBay, but if you cannot wait, you can purchase this at Sephora for $19.

 Another small purchase! I bought Sinful Colors nail polish! Was in the dilemma of getting "Big Daddy" or the pastel one, and I ended up getting Big Daddy! Sounds so weird.. but the color might be the "it" tangerine orange for me; I've been hunting for the perfect orange/tangerine color. Have not tried it yet, but I really think this is it!! （￣～￣;）ウーン・・・

 

 

Ending my random entry abruptly with my face on the way to Daiso! (ヾ(´･ω･｀)いってらっちゃ
