Favorite People



I found this clip pretty thought-provoking... and it got me thinking. "Am I anyone's favorite person".  The first person(s) that came to mind was... my parents, but then on further contemplation... I negated that thought.  I reckon their favorite person would not be me... but rather their OWN parents... the one that provided food, shelter, love, and most importantly ... their existence. I really think that filial connection can be the strongest bond in "existence" because it's bound both physically (relation by blood) and emotionally (through nurturing).  Am I correct in thinking this way?  I've come to that conclusion because I'd say my favorite person is my mom and dad... because they have really impacted the way I think and act all these years.  (yes.. "person" I've melded them into "one" person for simplicity sake) LOL.  So anyway, years from now I hope I can be as positively influential to my future kids as my parents were on me... and perhaps then I'll also be their favorite person then. hahaha. Now I am just rambling.

woah... this was TOTALLY NOT meant to be a heavy entry. HAHA

On a lighter note, I'm looking forward to doing the following next tuesday.

1. look for a new purse!
2. look for a nice hairstyle. I want to whack off these long locks soon.
3. find a LBD.... oh wait.. I already have one.. haha "shruggg" don' mattaa
4. find a job to compensate for all my spending.... because I'm no prodigal!!

one more thing.. i'm really really really really really really REALLLLYY CRAVING GUACAMOLE RIGHT NOW. mmmm

it's never too late to be successful
and success is not measured by what profession you are in

live day to day by:
  • planning tomorrow well, 
  • treasuring today’s opportunities
  • using time efficiently
  • learning yesterday’s lesson 
but most importantly: never regreting what was done




but why does it seem so hard?

Burgers... and some other stuff

Jukebox: 天后-陳勢安



WHAT HAPPENED?!?!? 

:[

loll..

Anyway, so my friend wanted to try out  The Counter  last week after seeing an article about it in the newspaper.  We decided to stop by for lunch to see what the hype was all about.  The concept is basically  to Build Your Own Burger... choices were extensive and.. mmmmm it was sooo good. I think i'm a savvy and health-conscious burger-builder because my creation tasted delectable :D


What I ordered:
  • 1. Sprouts <--- LOVEEE
  • 2. ??? cheese (the name sounded exotic :P)
  • 3. fresh organic veggies
  • 4. small beef patty
  • 5. tomato slices
  • 6. wheat bun
  • 7. sundried tomato sauce (medium)
  • mmmmmmmmm... I WANT IT AGAIN RIGHT NOW


Doesn't it look amazing?  There was sooo many choices for cheese and I really didn't know what to choose. In the end.. as per my friend's advice, I literally closed my eyes and choose the first one I pointed my finger to. haha  This was one of the first burgers I've ever eaten where I felt surprisingly un-oily after. Mind you I downed the whole thing within 20 minutes. 


Anyway, I wrote a more comprehensive review on yelp since I had been neglecting it lately. sadness


Enough "narcissistic" pictures of my own burger. Meet burger numero dos... my friend made me promise not to upload this picture online... but I made sure to just crop the burger... so technically, I'm safe.... right?!  hahaha  Anyway, had so much fun and my tummy was fulll.. I'll definitely be dropping by to The Counter again :D


Last but not least,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMYYYY  
I LOVE YOUUUUU!!!!
(she doesn't know this blog exists though :P )

Six things after a tiring day

1. I have huuugee headache :[ so I feel really crappy right now because I looked forward all day to playing L4D2 with my friend tonight... but now I'm wayyy too exhausted.

2. I love this song right now! Far East Movement Ft. Keri Hilson- Don't Look Now


3. My Body Shop Haul came! I'll do a review of the stuff I got later.


3. Today was hella fog during my drive home. In my eighteen years of living here, this was by far the worst fog I had to drive through.

5. The following is a cloying amount of sweets I discovered in my room.... usually within arms reach. Something tells me I should resume my "junk-food" free diet again....


6. Alrighty, off to shower.. perhaps that will help alleviate my current fatigue-induced delirium.

Shoe bondanza

Jukebox:  Floating on the Moon- Michelle Shaprow


I will never be able to escape from the money-sucking wrath of westwood. My two recent guilty-purchases were all done there.  Last week, I went and bought an unnecessarily amount of underwear from VS.  And this time, I got some shoes.  Drove to Westwood again two days ago.. and I knew I was on a tight schedule so I forced myself to finish my necessary tasks first.... then I was debating on calling up some friends.... or.... shopping. Looked at my watch, had 30 minutes to spare before my free parking jumped the meter... "ahhh" hard decision, but I decided to I'd take that time to go shoe shoppin'!I don't think I've ever left  Top Shoes empty handed. They are like a little gem in Westwood with the best shoe deals for money-stricken college students... or I guess, newly grads, in my case.  Anyway, these are are my official new pumps for winter 2010-2011! I was debating between a dressy strappy pair or this, but in the end the leather and the zipper design stole my heart (and feet). As my friend humorously describes "It's like ooo a zipper, and then psychs you out when you realize it's the whole darn thing."  hahhahaa. my friends never cease to amaze me!    Too bad it is slightly too big for my feet. boo. Anyone know how to shrink shoes? lol. Nevertheless I hope I wear these well throughout the next few months.  However a sad news is.. that watch I was wearing 3 posts down? I lost it! Somewhere at UCLA :(((

Last night, I got a pleasant surprise after my tiring journey back from LA... checked my email and found my friend had got me Left for Dead and Left For Dead2!



 I've heard soo much about this game , and is now in major anticipation (and need) to start playing after I finish all my silly works.  Why a need? Zombie killing can relieve stress...doy. Indeed this was suppose to be a motivational gift as well... I think it has done it's purpose :D

I'm off to cramabam!

LA dessert adventures!

LA traffic is extremely crazayyy... although I've driven there before... yesterday was the first time I braved the journey to the concrete jungle alone.  Lost a few gut cells in Westwood and on the 405, but that was definitely worth it. Why? I had soo much fun catching up.  Wish I had more time to spend with more people however. Note to self: don't drive home around 6:30PM next time I visit LA.

At Emil's Swiss Pastry on Santa Monica Blvd!

I got the Chocolate Tower Mousse.... it was amazingly rich and delicious.. mmmm... but after eating half, I felt really stuffed.


michelle got a delicate fruit tart, amy got a delectable pear (cobbler?) 

Then as we were leaving, the owners of the Churros Calientes next door welcomed us to try out their coca drink.  It was their grand opening day so they treated us each with three dainty teacups of cocoa! mmmm


I ordered a CHurros Largo with their strawberry dip (They recommended dipping the churros in the cocoa as well. The churros there aren't regular ones u find at costco or disneyland. They are thinner, and definitly more crispy. There is a really distinct flavor and it was made right on the spot. SOOO Delicious.. I want some more! Although... after eating that, the chocolate mousse AND hot cocoa, I felt I had a lava of chocolate in my stomach. :P
