200th post

Hello~ I'm currently writing this while overseas! 

I did mean to make a post for March before I left or when it was still the 31st in the states, but I didn't get an adapter in time. 

But I finally have one now! And boy, was it a hassle to get one. All the places around where I'm staying either didn't sell them, or only sold ones for Korean's going abroad. My brother in law somehow found this for me:

They stopped selling these years ago! Hahaha!

Another reason I didn't update sooner was because I lost my phone back in February!

Sigh... After I went through all the trouble of turning my phone into pikachu.

Good thing I decided to blog when I did, cause I lost it the same day!

I've had to rely on Iggy for all my pictures because I hated using my mom's Samsung Note 1.

Alrighty then, from where I left off!

March: Tuesday the 3rd

I finally got to try Wasabi!

I was excited that they had takoyaki but it was just okay.

Some tako roll. It was pretty decent.

My spicy garlic miso ramen. Oh...it was so good. I totally get the hype.

Sunday the 8th

Brunch at Publican Quality Meats.

Soup that tasted exactly like a Korean soup.

 I really enjoyed the bacon and egg in this salad.

 Return of the Gyro

Clublican

My Parm #2. Mine was the best.

Thursday the 12th

I was going to eat at my workplace before going to see the show I was understudying for, but I ended up leaving home way later than I meant to. So I just stuffed myself.

Fried oysters.

I used my mom's Note 1 for these pictures, and i actually think they came out better than most of the ones I took on my Galaxy 5S...

Chicken terriyaki

Green tea creme brulee for dessert. I really enjoyed it but I probably would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't so dang full. 

Angel was hosting that night and turns out that it was her birthday the next day! So she invited me to grab a drink with her and Darlene, who also used to be a host with us.

Hahaha Darlene looks crazy happy.

Sunday the 15th

I had finally gotten my replacement phone in the mail. Just in time for my date with K!

We had Crisp for dinner. It was very yummy.

We took this and started the first episode of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt before I had to leave to get Iggy from work. 

I don't know why I look like that..

 Tuesday the 17th

Hoanh Long with mama.

Then the animal store.

 They had a tortoise!

Sunday the 22nd

Had a date with mama cause it was our last chance to really spend time together cause it was the last day of her vacation and I was leaving next week.

 We went to L. Woods and ordered our usuals so I didn't take pictures of those.

This is probably the most natural smile she's ever given for a picture.

We stopped by Old Orchard to look for a spring jacket for me. There wasn't much but I did spot this on the sale rack at Zara:

It coordinated with the outfit I was wearing perfectly. It was only $19.99 too! Yay! 

Iggy came and got me after we got home.

Dinner ended up being much fancier than we expected.

Monday the 23rd

Went to Mitsuwa for lunch...

TO SEE SANDY!!!

And Akira I guess lol. I hadn't seen her since I visited her back in November! T^T 

We took some time to eat and shop around together until we finally had to part. ｡･ﾟﾟ･(>д<)･ﾟﾟ･｡

Thursday the 26th

Makisu with DLee and James!

 I hadn't been there since the last time I went there with James! It was delightful, especially cause the head chef was in such a good mood after seeing us! ^__^

 Mm~~ I had been dreaming of eating this for so long. So sad I never finished my leftovers before leaving... D:

Blurry picture of our two desserts even though we were stuffed. We still finished though.

Ah I'm still annoyed at myself for taking pictures of the dishes I already have pictures of and not taking pictures of the ones I hadn't gotten before. 

Saturday the 28th

Since it was my last day of work, Ann, Gina, and I planned to have lunch together at Wasabi. 

Sad that Gina couldn't make it, but it was still a nice time! 

 Unagi and toro. The sushi there is very skip-able. 

Pork belly and kimchi spring rolls.

 I really like these even though they're so small. I love the sauce.

Sweet Ann and her favorite spicy garlic miso ramen! I love her >3<

Polaroid with all of us Hachi ladies. 

And my phone case reflection.

I miss these ladies but I definitely don't miss working!

After getting off of work at 12AM, I went home and finally packed. I had an anxiety attack in the middle of it but I did manage to finish at around 6:30 and get two hours of sleep and now I'm here in Gwangju, writing about the time I spent with the lovely people in my life! A pretty decent 200th post, I think! ;P

Tan tubes

Sunday the 1st

Received a very welcome call from my manager right out of the shower, telling me that I didn't have to go to work because of the big blizzard we were having that day. I felt so bad that she still had to go. >_<

Mom brought home these home on her way back from King Spa

 Perfect, as it was Super Bowl Sunday. Ate these while watching Boyz n the Hood.

Tuesday the 3rd

 Spring on my lips but it's still winter outside.

Ate at Iguana Cafe before rehearsal.

Virgin Pina Colada. It was yummy~ One of my mom's favorite drinks!

 Spinach artichoke dip?

 Blurry crepe and pasta.

Went to King Spa.

I hate the food there but I figured fried udon would be hard to completely fail. I was right.

 Thursday the 5th

Dinner at Hoanh Long with dad before rehearsal.

 I didn't get pho for once.

Friday the 6th

Had an audition in the morning at the McDonald's headquarters in Oakbrook.

It was interesting to go in there. It smelled like McDonald's food. Mmm~ 

Work

 Bored waiting for our first customers to come in.

Saturday the 7th

Looking much happier about work than I actually am.

 I kiiiind of want to cut my hair short again...

My coworker, Ann is so sweet! She gets me a salted caramel tart when I don't want hot chocolate.

A pretty good substitute when they run out of the squares.

Monday the 9th

Tried a pair of circle lens I bought a while ago that I never opened. They're the Vassen Bagel Grey.

 What would have been my new glasses if the lenses could be replaced...T_T

The lenses are way too big for my eyes! Wahh more wasted money.

 Headed over to David's house for a "potluck."

My early "birthday cake." Short rib that was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Ahhh it was so good. 

The awesome gentlemen cooking as I "give moral support."

 Everything was soooo good! David is a really good cook.

Polaroid in the cold cause I left the camera in the car XD

 Wednesday the 11th

Had to take off work for tech rehearsal as the show was opening in a few days.

 Friday the 13th

I had been waiting for it to turn February because I really wanted the Sephora birthday gift.

 The Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella

 A better representation of the color. I really like it! I threw the other lip pencil away.

After playing around like this, I went to work.

Saturday the 14th

Very appropriate sweater as it is now my Jordan year.

And like the previous day, I went to work.

 Ann is too freaking sweet! She made the delivery driver get me a cake. I teared up cause I was having a really bad day. T^T

Sunday the 15th

My birthday dinner at:

Unfortunately no Tina and Sandy. :(

The best mussels I've ever had. I'm going to go back just to order five of these. *Homer drool*

Beef fat fries

Braised Boar

Pumpkin risotto which I surprisingly really liked. In fact, all the small plates we ordered were awesome!

 Blue crab dip

The entrees weren't that special though.

I was very caught off guard when our waitress came out with the cookie dough dessert, as I was about to order it.  

 Many thanks to these people for braving the weather to eat with me!
