Hang outs

I was heading back home from down town some time ago and saw an elotes vendor while waiting for my dad, so I had to get one!
Summer hasn't started until you've had one!

Grabbed Five Guys for dinner.
 Hahaha it was so difficult to get just this one picture.

Friday the 1st
Finally met up with Scarlet and Chelsea like we said we would after leaving L.A.
We had an early dinner at a pretty place I think was called Burger Bistro.
 The lovely ladies! Missing Erynn :(

 I love deviled eggs so I got their special eggs. Wasn't really a fan.

Scarlet and her giant sandwich

Chelsea's built burger

My duck burger with sweet potato jam like substance. Pretty good.

 Ice cream sandwiches! I'm just gonna stick to the giant ones you can buy at grocery stores. Nothing beats those.

We were supposed to watch Guardians of the Galaxy but ended up watching Lucy instead cause movies are so expensive downtown. 
 Our thoughts about Lucy. Cool concept but....no...
It was really cool to see Choi MinSik in it though!


 Some mini fest thing thing we were confused about. WHAT WAS IT??!!

 It was so nice seeing them again!

Monday the 4th
So the night before, I got a call from my boss after work and was let go either cause my availability was not working with what he needed or because I sucked or both. I was sad cause I really liked that job and the other workers and it was the most money I ever made. I also didn't get to say bye to anyone cause it was super short notice! So I went back the next night with James to do so. And to try all foods I've been wanting to try. I have no shame! Ahahaha!
We ordered up a storm, although it doesn't look like that much cause I kept forgetting to take pictures of our dishes. 
 Blurry gyoza

 Blurry filet mignon tataki and soft shell crab

Almost finished king crab sunomono and spicy tako

Adorable green turtle.

I told James to make the same face and
 The resemblance is incredible! Hahahahaha!!!

 My steak! Ahhhh so yum. I especially love the kabocha.

Ended with:
 Aww the guys thought we were dating so Luis drew that. It's not like that though. Ahahaha!!

 My favorite guys! Luis, the amazing, sweetest man who does magic in the kitchen on the right of me, Santos to the left, Raul, Candy, Juan, chiquito Louis. And James. Lmao

You are looking an incredibly rare artifact:
 A selfie with head chef! Only one of it's kind exists.
This man is amazing with food. I'm going to miss eating the lunches made by him and Luis sooooo much. T___T

Thursday the 7th
Got this in the mail
The first pair of gym shoes I've bought since they were mandatory in middle school! 
They're so comfy! I'm really glad I got them.

Went to Assi with mom to get dinner and found this
 Super cute but don't get it. Do bottled tea lattes ever work?? 

 Saturday the 9th
Had dinner at L. Woods with mom for the first time in forever.
Honestly, we really only come here for the calamari.

 Chopped salad. I like corner bakery's better cause their vinegarette is more sour XD

Mom's french onion soup

 Mom's mushroom flatbread. More like flat chip.

 I tried their new fried chicken sandwich. It was meh.

I randomly hung out with chiquito Louis. He took me to my first Latin club.
 It was really fun watching couples salsa and dance other Latin dances. I want to learn! *0*

Monday the 11th
Pretty sky is pretty.

*******
Back after about a month again.
I meant to post this before I left for Utah on the 12th but I was too sad. 
We lost another great. R.I.P. Robin Williams.

Moving

Another long time no post! Updating monthly is becoming my thing, huh. 
What are my excuses this time? Pretty legit ones this time: 1. I moved and didn't have internet for the first half of this month and 2. I started working 5 days a week so I didn't feel like doing anything on my days off. 
But now that I've changed my availability to only 2 days, I have so much time now!
*******
Look at what my mom found in the process of moving!
These were my favorite friends when I was little! I thought they were gone a long time ago, but they were hanging out in our storage space the entire time! Now they're really gone. ;[

June: Tuesday the 24th
Reunited with Kyle and Nicole for the first time in a looooong time!

We caught up over Five Guys burgers and then bought snacks at 7 Eleven to enjoy at the beach.
 It started raining in the middle of our walk.
 So we just stood under a strange pillar sculpture thing and ate our snacks like fools. It was hilarious.

 Kyle lives in a really cool neighborhood.

We bought even more snacks to pig out on. I had FOUR ice cream bars in a span of five hours.

We watched The Rugrats Meet the Wild Thornberrys on Netflix thinking it would be good. It was not.
 Kyle read cards for me before I left.
It was a good day.

Thursday the 26th
My favorite lunch we've had at work! The head sushi chef made the green onion and mustard leaf kimchi himself. Ugh it was so good.
 So sad I won't be having lunch at work anymore cause of my schedule change. Crying.

Finally hung out with Brad after years of saying we would!
 Brad giving some David Tenant with his burger.

My first time at Kuma's 2. 

Went back to Brad's and watched the most quotable movie ever.
Our friend's name is Keith. Oh Tommy Wiseau. Apparently he has a citcom coming out soon?

Friday the 27th
Hung out with James for the first time in a while with his friends. 
 He ordered a bottle and this is what he resorted to because he didn't like spilling the whiskey while pouring it in the shot glasses.

 Really yummy sam gyup sal.

Pretty good cha dol bae gi salad.
DMZ has some of the best bar food, but I hate going there because I always see at least one person I know whether I want to or not.

 July: Wednesday the 2nd
Spaghetti lunch at work made by Duri.
 All the men at work make me feel lame cause I can barely hold a knife.

Tuesday the 8th
Dinner with Brad at Dimo's Pizza!
 I was surprisingly still really full from what I had at lunch so I couldn't finish my slice. I did finish the Leninade. What a yummy soda!

Went to Emporium after to play a few games. 
 Concentrating on Paperboy. The only game I beat him at.

Sat around trying to decide what to do next.
 When in doubt, selca.

Grabbed snacks at a fancy Walgreens.
 Would you believe this is the ceiling of a Walgreens?!

Wednesday the 9th
Was doing some reading during my lunch break and freaked out.
 My sophomore year English teacher was Mrs. Swanson. Scary.

That night, I realized I lived in the same building as a
 Kewl.

Monday the 14th
Another super great lunch
 I think the chef pickled those jalepenos too. UGH IT WAS SO GOOD.

Tuesday the 15th
Waited an hour at the hospital to get an allergy injection and came across the best advertisement:
Don't they look SO GOOD?! I've never wanted a pint of chocolatey Haagen Dazs so bad.

Thursday the 17th
Saw Erynn for the first time since getting back from L.A. 
 It would also be the last, as she was getting ready to move to L.A.. So I helped a little. Aww I hope I see her again soon!

Met up with Brad right after at Chicago Bagel Authority.
 Mm~ Bagel sandwiches.

 Looking very content with his frozen yogurt.

Sunday the 27th
I've been liking the thick cat eye these days.
I love how different I look in all my pictures ahahaha!

 Was driving to work and noticed these cars. They'd try to stay next to each other and jam out to the same radio station together. It would have been cute if they weren't wasting my time -_-

Monday the 28th
Hung out with Brad for the last time before he moves back home.
 We had Cheesie's.
Got to try lots of new places thanks to him!
