Sanrio at Plan Check

On Monday I went to Plan Check in Downtown LA with my friend for their Sanrio Themed dinner. It's a little on the pricey side, but it's really a limited time offer and it also comes with a really cute Sanrio snapback, so I think it's really worth the money.



The first item was a vanilla cream soda with a picture of Pom Pom Purin stenciled on the top with chocolate! There was a ton of whipped cream on top and it was like drinking ice cream, but in a good way.


Then all of the rest of the food came at once. A sausage on a hamburger patty: this one was a little weird. I loved the kimchi cole slaw on top, but I think there was too much bread for the amount of meat. Mini Mac and cheese: it was prettyyyy heavy.Tasted good, but I was too full with everything else to eat even half of it. and home made potato chips: the chips had some interesting seasoning, but they were a little too salty. I still ate them all though. I love potato chips.


Close up of the burger: It's supposed to be PomPomPurin's face and hat, but its kind of hard to see the hat well.



And a Chococat cookie with ice cream for dessert. I took the cookie home to eat later but the ice cream was really good :P In the edge of my photo you can see that my friend's Chococat was missing one yellow triangle in its ear! We didn't even notice until we were done eating the ice cream already.


And finally, the meal came with a PomPomPurin and Chococat snapback! I am super excited to wear it some time, especially since I love snapbacks in general. However, now that I'm working, I have much less opportunity for dressing casually. :(


It was a fun dinner! But again, not worth going twice unless you REALLY need two of those hats.

New Beginnings

I'll be staying in Los Angeles for the summer since I got a job in Torrance. I've been settling into my new apt, it's just a short term lease until I figure out what I'm gonna do next.

Caught up on a lot of TV this weekend, and also my calendar.


I made some coffee yesterday the hard way for the first time in quite a while. Since I'm currently out of pre-ground coffee, I guess this is the way it'll be for a bit.


I'll try to take some other pictures of my apt as I get more organized but I'm not quite there yet...

Birthday Presents




Got some macarons and a mini "Nothing Bundt Cake" for  my birthday :)

Also got some fancy shave ice in Korea Town along with pretty strong iced coffee,



Since I'm 21 now, I went to Mr. Pizza with my friends for their buy one get one free Happy Hour. Definitely worth sharing a pizza because it's pretty expensive, but their pasta is really good. Really pleased with it.

North + South Eating

I've had these pictures saved in my drafts for a while.

Shabu Shabu with my mom and sister before I went back to LA. One Pot.




Why yes, I do actually want a macchiato. From Bellano.


Made a hat to keep myself warm if I get cold. The pom pom did not turn out as foofy as I dreamed, but not bad for a first try.


Packing to go back to LA.... with Goofy Tsum Tsum!!


Found a cute daruma at a restaurant near school.


Just a typical 2 pm breakfast at Aloha Cafe.


And finally, a dumpling craving means typing in dumplings to yelp and going to a random restaurant. Worked out great! Dunno if I'd call these "dumplings" though. More like chinese buns. Myung In Dumplings.



I'm sick, but craving Little Tokyo foods...

Coffee As Usual

I had a quick optometrist appointment this morning that had better results than usual.

After that I grabbed a lunch box from Paris Baguette and headed over to a new coffee shop recommended to me by my sister. It's called Big Mug Coffe Roaster and the shop is located on El Camino, a convenient location to where I was coming from.

The staff was nice, but the person who took our orders was a little confused about what kind of milk they use for some reason. The wifi password was on the reciept, so I'd recommend asking for it when you check out. The barista passed me an old receipt for the password which was nice.


There were tons of older people there, but that may have been just business meetings since it was around lunch time on a Monday.

[I think uploading the pics from my iPad makes tem blurry oops]

Happy New Year!!

New Year, new gadgets. I've been seriously enjoying my time at home these past few weeks and I'm worried about going back to school but I'm also excited. 


I havent been making much but I hope to do so soon.


I saw the fanciest gingerbread houses in a restaurant in Pebble Beach earlier this week. 


Snow White and the dwarves!


And my dog got a sweater to keep warm during this chilly winter. :)

Till next time...

Just a few things I've been liking on Pinterest...





I've been craving creative activity, but more importantly, catching up on sleep. And looking for more Pinterests to follow.

「日」Ripple Blanket

Finished my third blanket!! I didn't get a good picture of the full thing, but here it goes, the reveal!




It's as wide as a queen sized blanket, but I ran out of yarn before it could be long enough. Ohwell. I'm pleased.

On to the next thing!

「日」Almost done

I'm super excited to be almost done with a big project. Planning the reveal for the end of this week. Fingers crossed that I'll finish it by then.

Trying to get back to crafting to deal with my stress. There are worse things in life.

New iPhone cases matching with my sister.
