Apartment Searching Once Again

Why is it so hard to find an apartment in los angeles?!? If anyone knows anything in the santa monica area, area code 90405 please let me know! my price range is 1400 max(if its a little more than that I might consider it depending on the situation). Must include, gated parking and laundry on site if not in unit. other than that, I'm looking for a 1 bedroom 1 bath with a dishwasher. Wood floors optional. No ghetto rundown looking buildings please! THANK YOU!!

Please leave a comment if you know of any places!

Mucho gracias!

Note: I really hate old people who manage to become managers at apartment complexes.

Hi Chipotle, Remember me?

My bf and I had dinner at chipotle. I hadn't eaten there for over 6 months. So I decided to order a chicken quesadilla, it was very yummy(refer to photo above). Reason why I haven't eaten there for so long was because the rich flavoring of the food, fills me up very quickly and the taste of the chicken is too smokey for me. Since I hadn't eaten there in so long, I guess I had forgotten how it feels to eat there again, that is why we went there for dinner. My bf ordered a carnitas burrito. After eating there, I was so stuffed, I still felt the quesadilla the next day. I think it might have been the smokey flavor of the chicken. I think next time Ill just order a plain cheese quesadilla.

Subway Scrabble Madness

Does anyone have a subway scrabble letter A? If so, can I please have it?

Tuesday Blues

Here it comes again, just another Tuesday. This Tuesday just so happens to be registration day at school. So i just registered for 5 classes this coming quarter. I think I might have made a mistake of registering for 5. Ill need more time to think about it, before next quarter starts.

Ill update in a few hours.

Any Other Sunday

Yet once again, doing after effects homework on another sunday afternoon. I loath it more than ever. Seriously cant wait for this quarter to end, so I can have different classes.

Update @ 4:08pm

Hungry for vegetable tempura. Can't concentrate.. I'm seriously not interested in this program.

Update @ 4:37pm

Still Hungry for vegetable tempura, still loath this program, still at 2 keyframes. Dreading for this coming week. Feeling sad at the moment.

Update @ 7:58pm

Still procrastinating. trying to talk myself into going to get some tempura, but I'm thinking about all the fat I'm gonna gain after eating it, thats what holding me back. took a nap around 5pm, hoping it would have changed my mood, but I woke up feeling irritated than ever. Woke up this morning in the worst mood possible. Don't really know why. Wasted this entire day doing nothing but procrastinating. I feel like a robot.

Update @ 10:45pm

Decided to not have dinner tonight, a bit grumpy. So over this day.

Summer Updo Gyaru Style

I thought this updo was super cute, perfect for the sexy summer look, heres the "how to" video to learn it. I have yet to try it, my hair is short :( and I'm waiting for it to grow out, so I can try the many hair tutorials I've been admiring.

Friday Night, Date Night<3

Was super fun! spent Friday night with my boyfriend. We went to see Tropic Thunder. So we decided to go to the theaters early, due to the last encountering of being stuck with sitting in the first row at the theaters the last time we went to the movies to watch Wall-e. We ended up going to a different theater. The movie was for 8:25pm, we decided to leave around 7:45pm, thinking it would give us enough time to get there we were going to amc century city. When we got there, surprisingly the theater was already full, but we managed to snag two seats right at the entrance, it wasn't the top or anything and it was still close to the screen, but it was way better than sitting at the bottom. as the theater filled up quickly, there were crowds and crowds of people, and my bf managed to point out Amy Smart, the actress. Now seriously right? I would never spot out a celeb! maybe its just the director spark he has, or I'm just blind. >_< haha. anyways there were no seats and Amy and her 2 friends had to split up to sit in different places. People who save seats for people that aren't even there when the movie starts are stupid. Overall, the movie was very funny, I had my share of laughs and I encourage you all to go watch it. Hands down to another great night.

Happy 1 Year Anniversary babe!

This was our cake at mastro's steakhouse.

Evaluation Part 1

So, I was talking about self-evaluation about 2 weeks ago. Lately, I would have to say that my thoughts has been a little bit more clearer about school, life, family, friends and love. I tend to over analyze almost everything in my life, and I always seem to want to find something wrong, so I can fix it. What it comes down to is that at most times, there is nothing wrong, but I pick and I think about one thing so much, I start to see something wrong, when its not.

School.
I seriously think that my quarter is probably the worst quarter ever in history. We started off with about 30 people in our FA 2009 graduating class. Now we are down to maybe about 4 or 5 or less of us thats from the original group. One by one people leave, drop out, or just fall behind. Not to mention all the encounters of instructors that suck, and our quarter ends up with them, we complain about them and ask for a improvement, but the quarter after us benefits from it. We then move on and advance into upper division classes with out actually learning anything from the previous quarter. All the upper division classes are all computer based projects, no hands on projects or experimental hand-making prints. I mean I know you're probably thinking "you can always do it on the side as a personal project" yeah! I know, but whats the fun if you cant present it at school and show and tell. right? maybe its just me. I think that some classes should touch bases with our old school skills, so that we don't lose touch on what other options we have other than the computer. Don't get me wrong, I love technology, and can't live a day without it, but it gets exhausting to just sit at a computer everyday to do work because we're forced to. So my thoughts on school as of this moment? It straight up SUCKS!

Life.
Okay, so this topic I'm still trying to touch bases on. I would like to say that I'm happy and completely satisfied about the direction its going in at the moment, but everything is still so vague. It has yet to be revealed. In due time, maybe I will share.

Family.
Another topic that is vaguely not reflected upon. I'd have to say that I really have been losing touch with keeping in touch with my family. I call many times and it seems that each time the conversations get shorter and shorter. Hopefully that shall change soon.

Friends.
I have amazing friends. Each and every one of them is a blessing. Near or far, I know they will be there for me no matter what. Just a phone call away.


And last but not least.

Love.
This part of my life is kept private<333, and I choose not to share it on blogger. sorry :)

The Hills Season 4

Can't wait! airs tonight at 10pm.

I Wanna Be a Model!

Yuminyan, Ranzuki model(right) is so pretty!

Yummylicious

This is the most amazing cake I have ever eaten! (picture 1, Milk Baumukchen)My friend Tiff had told me it was amazing and at first I was very hesitant on purchasing one, but I decided to give it a try. I have to admit its probably one of the best milk cakes I've ever eaten. :) it has a very subtle taste of sweetness, so its not like any ordinary cake, its not packed with sugar, at least I think so, because of the taste, it also has a very unique look up-close it looks like layers of layers of cake like a miniature roll. I like it 15 seconds in the microwave, its amazing! you can eat it cold or room temperature. You can find this at Mitsuwa Marketplace they have other similar types and they all sound great. Only other one I have tried is the vanilla swiss roll. These sell for 4.59, sort of pricey considering its kind of small, but its totally worth it! so try it out!

My favorite magazine!<3

After Effects Update

I was truly in a unstable piece of mind when I said it was getting fun, I loath the program more than ever.

Aishiteru Gogo No Kocha!

Milk tea has always been one of my favorite beverages. After midterms to day I got off super early, so I decided to stop by Mitsuwa marketplace to pick up some food, but what I ended up with was a package of sushi nori, wafer cookies and a bottle of my favorite gogo no kocha which is milk tea in Japanese. Since I hadn't had gogo no kocha in a while, the first sip was a delight. it was very milky and tasty. Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you all :) so, the next time you happen to go to a Japanese market, pick up a bottle of yummylicious gogo no kocha, there may be many difference brands of it, but I like this one. (above) it goes for about $2.50 a bottle, but its totally worth it, when you think about it, all you daily boba drinkers a boba milk tea costs about a little over $3, so $2.50 is no biggy. Anyway, go try it! you wont regret it.

Pretty in Jeweled

I want nails like this!

Weekend Extravaganza

My bestfriend Tiff came to visit me this past weekend. We started off going to dinner at Hodori a little restaurant in Korea town, its opened 24 hours 365 days a year. We both ordered the dol sot bibibap, and we've never felt sicker after eating it after. On Friday we started the day off going to Pasadena to check out the forever 21 headquarters, it was fun, and we sort of got lost, we stayed there an hour and then went to Americana at brand in Glendale. That too was a huge disappointment. So we decided to come back to west la and hang out at the boba shop in little miniature Tokyo. That night we made futomaki at home, it was yummy! Saturday, we went to the fashion district, walked 90 blocks got lost about 5 times and at the end of the day we were satisfied, with a huge bag of merchandise. We went to mitsuwa market place and bought some Japanese magazines at the bookstore. We then had dinner at Na Kwon House in korea town with my bf. Then finally Sunday.. we had planned to go to fashion district again, but was too tired, so we decided to just hang out in Beverly hills. We hung out the last few hours at my place and tiff taught me how to roll sushi with a bamboo mat, then it was time for her to fly back. Overall this entire weekend was a blast. I had a lot of fun, and im glad that tiff and i got to catch up. cant wait till i go and visit her in vegas again! this time im not driving! :)

ps: pictures up soon.

So Lately...

I've been re-evaluating everything thats been going on in my life. To sum up everything in a paragraph or so, I've been thinking about re-writing my list of goals. (ill tell you more about it when I get around to doing it) So the updates on whats going on lately since I haven't blogged in a while, nothing much really. I finally started latching on to some adobe after effects techniques, and the fact that I'm starting to understand the program, makes me want to get more into the work because its starting to feel fun (just a little :P). I mean I always knew it was gonna happen like that, I just needed some time to get used to the program. Learning it in monday's class was a terror, it was just so much information to absorb. Tuesdays class (which is a beginners motion graphics) however is starting to get fun. Anyways, I haven't eaten out anywhere lately, so no reviews on food. One of my best friend's is flying in from vegas to visit me this weekend, so I'm pretty hyped about that, haven't seen her since spring break. Anyways ill update later on in the week, and talk about the wonderful adventures we go on. :)

A Nagging Thought

Why does perfectly yellow bananas starts to grow brown spots just a few days after purchasing?
