AMAZING day in SF with my Lindaaa! The weather was gorgeous, and our timing was on point the whole day! I just wish I had remembered to bring my camera with me ):

twin peaks

turtle hill
tea way
beach
sunset

Dinner at my little’s for her brother’s birthday! Burnt almond cake mmm :)

Emergency run to the animal hospital for Muffle ): 

I’ve been pretty bad about updating and reblogging (I like looking at stuff I’ve “liked” and reblogged…inspiration!) 

(LAST WEEKEND)

Took the day off of work on Friday to go to SF. Woke up super early, drove ALL the way to the BART (20-30 minutes away) and realized that I forgot my phone. So I then drove all the way back and got my phone. ]x FAIL. Andrew and Emily picked me up in front of Westfield, and then we all headed to the zoo! Gloomy day…cold too! But it was fun seeing all of the animals again (: Went to work with Emily and tagged along on her tour. It was actually super informative and fun! It made me really really nostalgic for my senior year though. There were a lot of things I would’ve done differently. (Like I mentioned in my last post.) So I felt pretty bummed during the whole tour, in a weird way. BUT THANKS ANDREW for cheering me up (sorta)!

Headed to Emily’s apartment, which was kinda exciting for me! Love seeing new houses/apartments. Went to get some crepes before dinner, then hung out at her place. She had a headache so me and Andrew went to Gussie’s by ourselves. Chicken + waffles! Exciting! Even though I was super tired by the time I got back to church/home, I felt pretty satisfied. Haven’t gone out much at all since work requires me to get up early every single day ): Had lots of fun in SF though! 

OH, and thanks for checking up on me Andrew! HAHA. Riding BART at night can be a bit scary.

I realized that I never blogged about Saturdaaayyyy.

I’m kinda too lazy to do it now ): But I’ll give a brief overview?

Headed into SF around nooooon. Super late, I know. AND I WAS BY MYSELF. THANKS GUYS D: Hahaha. Anyway. Headed straight for the museum. Didn’t really get lost this time. Pretty much knew where I was going. The Legion of Honor currently has a Cartier special exhibition going on. But I didn’t want to pay for it. Sooooo just went on with my business and did all my note-taking on the sculpture of Adam and Eve. Wandered around the museum and then left. Headed back to Union Square and window shopped for a bit. And then I took the BART back to Fremont cause I was supposed to go to my godmother’s for dinner. (NO, she’s not really my godmother but we’ve grown accustomed to calling her so recently because it’s much easier to type out in English. Okay, now that that’s out of the way…) I arrived at her house and she complimented me on my outfit. LOL. I really liked my outfit that day. I can’t wait til I start taking outfit posts again. Met all these new people, including Maddie! Cute little girllll. Ate a humongous dinner, with tooonnnsssss of leftovers. Victor and Ruth and baby Avery and Kuma came after we ate. Kuma’s getting humongoussss. Maddie was so afraid of him! Hahhaha. I would be too if a dog as tall as me came bounding over toward me. Avery is still sooooo small! We spent the night playing cards and watching my bro do card tricks and whatnot. I finally left around 11:30 to go buy necessary ingredients for red velvet cake. I got home around 12:00ish and finally started baking. I was so exhausted though, from SF and dinner. Lol. At least the cupcakes turned out all right (or so I thought). I almosstttt forgot about them and left them in the oven for a few minutes too long, but it didn’t make a difference.

ANDDDDD that was my Saturday.

I need to update about the boots later!

YES!

104 on Philosophy midterm!!! Am so so so stoked. See’s Milk Chocolate Bordeaux Truffles. Good stuff.

Received the boyf’s gift and Apple package. Description of product was misleading. Took it to the Apple store in SF today to return the case. BOO ): I was excited for it too.

Was semi-disappointed in SF trip today. Totally did not have enough time to do anything. I only stayed at the museum for half an hour or so ): Cause I was supposed to be home to take my bro to class. Except my mom ended up taking him anyway. WTH. So I paid $10 in admission fees. Oh, and an extra $11 for BART. And I didn’t even get to enjoy shopping or anythinggg. Disappointing. I hurried in and out of the Apple store to get my return processed. And that was about it. I passed by hella high-end stores on the 38 to Legion of Honor and was sad sad sad. Louis Vuitton, especiaallyyyyy. Been thinking about it all day. LOL.

“That ain’t one. For sure.”

Oh wellll. At least I got to do my return. People there were nice and friendly. Wish I could’ve done a bit of shopping. Need warm clothes ASAP. No money to spend on clothes. » Or make-up…..for the time being. I’ll see how much money I get back once people pay me back for e.l.f. Glad I didn’t spend the $15 on the Hillsong thing. I would’ve been hella disappointed. Also super trying to save on gas. It helps that the Celica saves more than the Odyssey. But still. Since I’m paying for it all now… Must set aside at least $40 a week for that. ]: At least prices aren’t as high as they were before. They’ve kinda been constant for a while actually. So that’s good. Usually I can get 320 miles on a good week/week and a half. If I’m lucky and don’t have to go anywhere special over the weekend or anything, one tank can last me a week and a couple of days. THANK GOODNESS. Love my Celica.

ALSO. Did you know that Hybrids aren’t really doing much? Well, in terms of how they use trees or some other resource to make the car battery/engine. AND THEN once you drive it for a certain number of miles it’s basically no good anymore so you gotta pay 6-10 grand for ANOTHER battery/engine thing whatever it was. SO….that kinda sucks. -__- Lol, a little tidbit from my group speech. Which reminds me, I gotta look up articles for speech. Must remember to do so. ><

Am currently loving me some tuna. I also forgot that I liked McDonald’s cheeseburgers. Small things. BUT I got one today since there’s one right outside of Montgomery station. o_o And because I was already spending hella on transport and admission fee, I bought one. I think Irvine got me addicted to them. LOLOL. I miss Irvineeeee. A LOT.

Wanted to go to Coach today to check out keychains for peeps. But the line was ridiculously long as usual. The line to get in, I mean. And I didn’t have the patience to wait. Haha. I can always go on the weekdays when no one’s at the mall.

PERSIMMONS!

I needs to get me more money somehow. BYTHEWAY. Lol, today I found money that had been hidden in my bag. THANKS GUYS. I was confused and then it clicked. Hahaha. Anywho, thanks!

Note to self: Remember to take vitamins and green tea. !!!
