Meatballs and Tortilla Soup

 Yum dinner was good!! I had a chicken tortilla soup from Progresso and I made some ziti with tomato sauce along with two homemade meatballs! Yum Yum Yum! Soup was ok, but I really enjoyed the pasta. Then of course I washed it all down with some Peachberry Jasmine Sutra Green Tea which I flavored with a bit of German rock sugar, which is suppose to sweeten the tea without sullying the flavor. And now some dessert, I dunno what shall I have! I've got some cranberry orange loaf cake, maybe I'll just munch of this a bit. But I am kinda full........... So maybe I'll just have a piece of hard candy to suck on xD

I just got a bunch of teas from teavana which cost a pretty penny but I needed some new teas. I got the Peachberry Jasmine Sutra Green tea, Sakura Allure Green tea and lastly the Acai Matetini Mate tea. I gotta say the Sakura tea is delish! So is the Peachberry. I haven't tried the mate tea and I've never had mate before so it'll be interesting to see if I like anything else but my green teas.

I need to find a place that has super cheap ice skates!!!!!!!!! When I mean cheap, I'm talking about $20 cheap but no one has it that low! ARGH! I don't wanna spend too much. I saw something for $35-$40 at the Sports Authority and I do have a $10 off coupon but you have to spend at least $50 to get it.... Well I guess if I get the skates plus a blade cover, it should be enough...... I'll still be spending at least $40.... booooo!

On another note, I'm going to a cat/dog show tomorrow with Alana and Victor, and then afterwards to the circus.... LOL Victor wanted to go to the circle because he's never been but me and Alana have and we've been to the Barnum circle which is even bigger. I think the one we're going to tomorrow is the Big Apple Circus. The cat/dog is going to be at the Javitz Canter and hopefully I don't get tempted to get a puppy or a little kitty!!!!! Esp the teeny tiny teacup versions!

Lately I've started watch Jdrama again!!!!!!! So far I've watched a few Arashi variety shows and Bambino, Barairo no Seisen, and now 4 Shimai Tentei Dan.

Bambino is about this arrogant small time chef going to a big city fancy awesome restaurant to learn to be a better chef during his spring break from college. After getting his ass handed to him, he realized that he really didn't know anything and that he wanted to keep learning but he had school. Eventually he goes back to the fancy restaurant and learns what he can. It was an ok show, I was annoyed a lot by the main guy because I hate arrogant retards the most!

Barairo no Seisen is about this house wife who finds out her hubby cheats on her and how he doesn't find/sees her as an attractive woman anymore. So she goes and become a model but she's old and never done it before. So its just about her proving that a mom of two can still beat the younger models as well a be beautiful.

And lastly 4 Shimai Tantei Dan is a show about these 4 sisters who solves crimes because they somehow get involved. I've found it somewhat annoying. I think its just how the Japanese act! They're just so timid and weird! Sometimes I'd want them to be less timid and annoying! LOL. Anyhoo I've been letting these jdrama take over too much of my time! Gah!!!!

What color shall I paint my nails tonight! Something cool and dark or light and fun or something sparkly.... anyhoo toodles!

Cloister Fun

Last weekend I finally got up to the cloister museum. I've wanted to go for a while but its kinda far.....! I finally went only because I had to but it was enjoyable and the train wasn't as bad as I thought it would be because the D train flew through the stops. Plus I had a nice walk(getting lost) through the park to find the place. Many of the work is reminiscent of medieval churches and there is also a garden that monks would've had back in the days. I had take some photos but I can't seem to find it at the moment.....

This weekend I went to Philly and hung out with my sister and her kids. I also stole some of my nephew's Halloween candy. Ok I didn't steal it, he said I could have some! He got away like a bandit on the amount of candy he amassed this year! That's why I missed having him here this year because I couldn't take him trick or treating this year. Ah well I still got some mini chocolates!

I'm being lazy and keeping this a short post! sowwwwwy Plus I think I'm getting sick again........ Bleh.....

The Farm on Adderley

So on Friday I went out to eat at a restaurant with my BFA buddies. We've been doing this meet once a month thing. This is so we can keep in touch and stay buddies, even after college. Maybe even do mini art critique among ourselves. Mostly so far we just get together and eat (lol) and chat and talk about whats new in life. 


Last time we ate at a Thai place and it was a BYOB and people brought stuff, ie. vodka! I don't drink, or rather I can't, health reason. BUT I can have a little wine or something every now and then. So I had a sip of this vodka and I certainly remembered how much I hated it. Ugh it burns, it taste terrible, and I bet a little sip would make me drunk considering what a lightweight I am. I forget the name of the place atm, but it was on 1st and 1st. Afterward one of the friend suggested we go to a bar. Man was this a grungy looking bar. It was dark, smoky, and heavy metal playing. It was nice and fun and stuff but since I don't drink, going to bar always made me feel left out and stuff but meh I didn't care because I wasn't the only one. Oh it was across this art place called  ABC No Rio. E and I went out for air because it was a little stuffy in there, and maybe it may have been a little awkward for us two little Asian in this particular place. As well as all my other friends, except one or two lol! Anyhoo, it was a fun-filled evening and we did it again on Friday.

We went to this place called The Farm on Adderley, and I had the yummy roasted chicken. It came with kale and sweet peppers, ugh. I HATE any peppers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Except black and white peppers for seasoning. I asked for no peppers and more kale which was really good! The chicken was super moist and tasty. The kale also had some pickled celery or something, it was sour and goooooooooood! I enjoyed my meal at this place, and at first I was going to get the burger, because that sounded good too but I went for the chicken because I can eat burgers anywhere but the chicken is something different. Of course if I really wanted something different, I should've gotten steak or fish or something I normally never get which is always chicken which I LOVE!!!!! I tend to always get chicken no matter where I go, just because I love chicken xD Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum!

I was walking around my school's campus and I saw this couple and thought they seem to be sharing their pants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol So I took a pic of it! 

Hehe then I saw this little guy hanging out on the garbage can.

Flu Shot/Dean&Deluca/Bread and Spread

Ugh went back to the docs to get my flu shot....... Soooooo not fun, and super painful esp a few hour afterwards, that's when it hits me the hardest. The upper part of my arm is beyond sore and I can barely move it. But if it helps me not get any sicker or prevents future sickness, then so be it. As the saying goes, "no pain, no gain" pfft! And What's with crazy whtie guy speaking super loud on the train?! I had my headphones on plus the train was moving so there was a lot of noise and yet I could clearly hear what the guy was talking about. Apparently his mother-in-law's landlord lied about selling his place just so the mom-in-law could move out and he can charge more to the next tenant. I wasn't trying to listen, he just made it really hard to ignore! I saw these other old ladies staring him down for talking so loudly. They were trying to talk to each other but he talked over them, it was amusing!

I went to Dean and Deluca, yes I can't believe it too. I needed some rosemary bread and I didn't want to walk all the way to Wholes Food for it. I'm lazy! Plus it was raining and I do not need to get sick some more! I looked around and found this spread/dip for bread and I thought hey perfecto! Its made with artichoke and caper and extra virgin olive oil. *Num num num goooooood!!!!* It was pricey but dammit, it was so worth it. It really tasted great on the rosemary bread, plus I had some truffle oil that made it yummier! Phew! I also got a tea drink because I wanted to try something diff and new. Its from Argo Teas, Mojitea flavor. Its kinda weird but good weird plus I get a nice glass bottle to reuse! All this cost me a pretty penny but I'll be able to enjoy them so it's all good!.

Also, I miss all of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alrighty then, I guess I'm getting better at this blogging thing xD It wasn't a year later for the next post! Good night!

Back From The Dead, Cliche Much?

 

Well it's been a while huh? Yes I got lazy, had to deal with finishing school, work on my graduating solo art show, and recently catching a nasty cold that had me coughing my lungs out and literally booger up the wazoo. Sorry I know TMI. I'm a little out of it. I have a ton of drugs in me, including cough syrup, cough suppressant, and antibiotic oh my! Sigh I think its my body retaliating because I haven't gotten super sick in a long time.

me: "Yay I'm not sick!!!!"
body: "Arrogant lady, 'White blood cells, RETREAT!!'"
me: *cough hack cough* *blow nose*
body: "Hah that's what you get for jinxing yourself lady!"
me: "Ok I'm sorry now make me better! Please!"

On the other hand, it gave me time to watch some movies. Midnight in Paris, which I thought was hilarious and great. I was a little confused by it but it didn't bother me as much because I was entertained by all the famous writers and artists. Hemingway, Picasso, Matisse, Dali, Stein; all in one place yay!?!!!?!! Overall I thought it was entertaining because it made me giddy that all those famous names were all in one place! Owen Wilson was fun and Adrien Brody as Dali was hilarious. I really didn't like Rachel McAdam's character which  is fine probably because she's mean, rude, and a bitch!

I will end with a little pet peeve of mine. I don't understand why people stand in FRONT of a door. I mean hello it's a door, people will be going in AND out at all time. I mean seriously, IT'S A DOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF A DOOR!!!! So I did what I do best, I knocked her out of my way and looked innocent and made her realized that she's an idiot for standing there. I knocked some sense into her, bwahahahahahahaha! I'm evil and I'm happy I was a pushy bitch. lol
