seattle bound

herro................ I haven't updated in a while. I've been a busy bee, working and stuff and doing huge errands in between. I flew to the Bay Area last weekend to help my mom pack my grandparents' things. Today, my mom just flew in from Oakland and she will be staying with us for like a week. However, I'm flying to Seattle tomorrow early morning so I could attend my old friend's wedding. SHE'S MY AGE! so crazy. It hasn't really hit me yet that I'm going to Seattle, WA...TOMORROW. I'm so excited! a new state that I've never been to yet. Here are some pics from the past weeks.


getting lost in San Francisco airport.


another crepe photo from Sophie's crepes in Japantown, San Francisco. I took my mom to get one. I don't think she's ever had one before. She didn't find it so special... thought it was "messy".. but ugh so good.



had a FEAST! in this restaurant in Oakland called Bay Fung Tong. OMG, this restaurant. I heard you had to get reservations like a week in advance. it was DEEELICIOUS. we couldn't finish


fruit/vegetable stands in the small Chinatown of Oakland


my grams gave me these shoes... they were trying to get rid of some her things. her stuff packed took up like 10 boxes, while my grandpa's things only took up 2! These fit me~ they look cute with stirrup leggings. kind of heavy though


back to San Diego. We had some Mexican food the first night I came back - yum yum carne asada fries.


sneak preview of what I'm going to wear at the wedding. SO EXCITE!

I'm gonna be in Seattle until Tuesday morning. Then I work again at 12 noon that day. see y'all in a week or so.

HAAAT

Today was the hottest day ever!...I waited for the bus for like 6, 7 minutes at this stop with just benches - no shade. AT ALL. It was like 3PM and the sun was burning through my skin.



In other news, the other day we went to IKEA for the millionth time. specifically to eat their Swedish meatballs. nom nom nom. I just realized it's already "Fall". Where did my summer go? oh that's rite.. I didn't have one:(. going to bed now, gots work tomorrow!

where the heart is

I forgot where I got these images
I really don't have anything interesting to say here today. I 'm thinking about what to write in a paper proposal that's due tomorrow. I'm also eating lunch with a guy from a class I had in spring. which I honestly, really really don't want to do. He's a nice person and all but I really don't want to interact with people from class.. like really.. UGH. DREAD. am I a terrible person? :(


I miss my parents. This is them when they were still young, probably in Taiwan or HK. so pretty:)
I am really homesick... I miss the ghetto island life. eating on time. eating my dad's home cooked meals. people. food. the WARM ocean water. the simple things.


EDIT 11:23am 08/21/09. I had a dream last night that joseph gordon-levitt heard that I loved him to death. And in the dream I remember even thinking and sayin this is not real. He then gave me like a simple silver ring band. Couldnt decide which finger I wanted it on. It ended up on my right hand's ring finger. I wokeup at9:23 am. disappointed and jotted the jist of this dream on my iPhone which I am updating this blog with right now. sighs. postponed the lunch to some other day. I slept at like 5 last night and I'm so so tired and still need to work on said paper proposal. I'm gonna continue sleeping now..

styled by Troy Jensen. can you believe she's 30 years old? FLAWLESS.

School's been alright, less awkward than I thought.. ahaha. My grandparents are moving back to Guam, I think. I wanna gooooo! They are quite elderly so I'm like really scared for them to ride in a plane. I wish I could just teleport them. hhmmm the weather looked gloomy today so I wore a sweater dress and black stirrup leggings that I haven't seen in forever. I realize I now love black stirrup leggings... they make my legs look so slim and long :D. My gash, I'm so starving right now. We're making chicken adobo - probably not gonna eat dinner until like 2:30am - SO UNHEALTHY.




lazy...




We had a little fun with post-its... I don't know who wrote this one, but I liked it.


This was taken after I dropped my camera:(. there's a new place called "crepe world" that just opened. I got nutella and green tea ice cream. It tasted good but had poor presentation. but i mean, taste can't really be controlled because nutella/fruits/ice cream are always good! but yeah, i was expecting genki crepes or sophie's crepes style. but NOPE :(
