Flashback

The traffic at my college is so ridiculous. Last time I spent 30 minutes in the parking structure trying to get out because cars were lined up all the way around the structure. There are too many pedestrians, awful drivers, and not enough signal lights where needed on this campus. This time around, I decided to slug around campus a little longer until traffic settles down... Perfect time to upload this picture of my bestfriends and I. 

We took this picture August of 2007 at Yardhouse.

Most recent picture of us taken August of 2011 at the same Yardhouse (just different booths)

We purposely positioned ourselves like this because we remembered taking our old picture here! In 2007, all of us were just beginning to get into the groove of "college".  Now here we are in 2011, and we're all at different pivotal points in our lives. All I can say, is that time sure does fly! 

Bye Bye Hanna

Today, one of my bestfriends Hanna moved to Philly. We were anticipating it the whole summer, but the day officially came and she is now officially miles away. I really admire Hanna's courage to be able to move out of her comfort zone, pack up her stuff, and move miles away to go to graduate school. I will miss her so much! We have such a great relationship. She is so funny and is beautiful inside and out. Anytime I need to snap some reality in my head, she is there to keep it real. Anytime I need to talk or get some sound advice, she is there with guidance. Anytime I want some late night yummy food, she just says when and where. Anytime I need a place to crash, I don't even need to ask. Sigh, missing you already Hanna! 

Before her departure, we tried to meet each other as much as possible, and pretty much thought of and did every celebration we possibly could have in the span of couple weeks. Every week was a different good-bye party, but I did not mind it one bit at all. I knew I would start school once she left, so playing and playing and playing with friends was the best way to end the summer. For one of the days, my bestfriends and I all planned to do whatever Hanna wanted to do. And what did Hanna to do?

  

Oh yes, eat some El Taurino!! HAHA Can you blame her though, really?!

After El Taurino we went to a cafe in Koreatown.  I already forgot the name of the place b/c it's still fairly new. All I remember is that it was right next to I Love Boba. I would definitely come her to study if I was ever in LA. Drinks are not as pricey as the usual Koreatown cafes, but still more than the local coffee shop. Anyways, while we were here, we played some cards (FUN!) and gave her a little special gift....

 

Makeup from Urban Decay! I like to call her my personal makeup artist! Seriously, she knows what do with my face! 

<3

Afterwards, we all hung out at Jessica's place and pretty much did what most girls do when they get together... perfecting our nails, listening to music, talking about nothing, slugging around, being silly...you know! It was the perfect girls day!  

Dodgers Saga

Have you been keeping up with the Dodgers lately? Every morning I turn on the news as I eat my breakfast, and it seems like the whole saga is never ending. First the divorce, then the Bryan Stow case, and then MLB takes over, and now the bankruptcy! Ahhh, so heartbreaking!!!! I blame you Frank McCourt for driving the legendary Dodgers into bankruptcy! How embarrassing... tsk tsk tsk

Here we are at the game last year on my birthday (Joan is taking the picture) 

I want to keep the tradition alive where I take my girlfriends out to a ballgame for my birthday, but I'm really debating whether I should do that this year. I don't want to go to a game w/ Frank McCourt in the mix. But I still have another month to debate that over... Will you be watching the Dodgers play the Angels this weekend?

Bestfriends

Say hello to my bestfriends! (going clockwise, it's Jessica, Hanna, Me, and Joan) We all met yesterday for Jessica's birthday dinner at Lucielles. It's really rare that all 4 of us get to hang out, so it's super nice when we're all together.  Even do we come from similar backgrounds and culture, we are all SO different and are all at different points in our lives! I'm reminded of that every time all four of us are together, but I think that's why we're able to stay best friends for this long. All our different personalities, hobbies, and stories make our relationship even that much more special and I love each of them dearly. xoxo

New Hobby

One new hobby I'm trying to pick up this summer is hiking. It's a workout, it's fun, and it's free! Me and one of my best friend Hanna is trying to do it at least once a week. This week would be week number 2, and we decided to go to Fullerton Arboretum. I remember this place being big and gorgeous, but now that I actually went here again, it's only gorgeous. And it wasn't much of a hike either b/c the ground was mainly leveled, but it was still fun! If you're ever at Cal State Fullerton, you should stop by here for a walk. It's located right next to the baseball stadium. After our "hike", we went to The Original Pancake House in Fullerton for breakfast! 

Hello Fullerton Arboretum 

Hanna doesn't like the sun. Can you tell?
