Nendoroid Figure 204: Ano Hana, Menma

my friend elyse got me this figurine as a late birthday present because it's pretty hard to find at a decent price & also hard to find the real ones too. she is also a figurine collector so of course she would know how to get a real one haha, very thankful for this gift, it's been in my MFC wishlist for awhile. the anime was really touching, it's called ano hana if you haven't seen it. don't wanna spoil anything so i wont say much more, but this figurine is so cute & super detailed. everytime i see it, it reminds me of the anime, as do all my figures i feel like i'm getting a piece of the animes i love.

what i've eaten this 2nd week of march~

So, this week i had chicken crêpe at euro caffe, i haven't been there in almost a year but still as good as before my favorite place for a light lunch that keeps me full most of the rest of the day till dinner. i had oysters, garlic rice & steak at my favorite place artist. had sake2me all you can eat sushi because i felt like if i just went to any other sushi place & ordered then prices would be too high & i'd cry. had godiva's choclate vanilla swirl soft serve, it was a very lots of chocolate feeling.. it was really overwhelming to be honest, i wish they had a milk chocolate flavor, i'm not really a dark chocolate or vanilla flavor ice cream eater. & so this is some foods i ate this week~ LOL

BTS NOW 2 & Aj X THE STAR

BTS NOW 2 & Aj X THE STAR

these are my recent BTS merch purchases/things that came in the mail. now 2 just like now (1) in thailand, is a bts photobook with really nice pictures of the members, i really loved how it came with bookmarks (i got my ultimate bias Jin, i was really friggin' happy okay). i didn't get to pre-order it for the special gift (because i didn't have money at the time T__T), but i did buy the Jin photocards from other people who did get it. i think it's a totally worthy buy because the picture qualities are beautiful & they went to places in LA i know of so it's like SO CLOSE~ LOL anyways, it was a beautiful purchase for $70.60.. LOL

~

AJ x THE STAR magazine i bought pretty much a yolo purchase, i didn't quite NEED this magazine exactly.. but i really loved the style of the photoshoot the boys were doing & the pictures are so beautiful & overall i just felt like it was a worth purchase & they were front cover too~ i think i bought this for around $17(?) so it wasn't a major wallet kill.

Birthmonth Dinner w/ My friends4lyfe~ @ Kappo Honda

So because it's February, it's my birthmonth & my childhood friends & I, BTK always get together to celebrate it. we went to my favorite Japanese restaurant this year, Kappo Honda. I love their sashimi deluxe, takoyaki & the strawberry parfait. I had a really nice time celebrating my birthmonth with my closest friends & I am really thankful to have them in my life. Thank you two for treating me out~! i love you two! ♡

Yoko & Honeymee

~Yoko & Honeymee in Buena Park~

yoko is my favorite place for cheese kimchi chicken katsu~ i usually get the combo w/ soba, their soba is okay. i seriously love the katsu though, the katsu sauce they have is great too. i wanted to try honeymee in buena park, so for dessert i went there & it was hard to find at first but it's actually next to the carwash/gas station.. really random. a bit pricey for a little amount of ice cream, but it's really really good. very much worth the buy to try. both places are ✮✮✮✮☆ 4/5 to me.

Happy Birthday To Me (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

i am now officially 20 years old (o´ω｀o)

honestly, i feel like it's amazing personally that i've made it to this age. i never thought i would actually make it to 20, honestly.. i survived life this far. i feel old, but at the same time i am aware i am still very young. i feel like it's time for me to go really be a person or something, it's time to take on life in a different mindset in sense? i don't know, but i have more of a looking forward to life feeling than i did during my teens. of course me, i celebrate my birthday not just on the 8th, but the entire month of February... because i am a princess to my family LOLOL really though, i love my birthmonth, it's a short month except every 4 years & yeah it's just nice, i feel special this month. at this age, i've come to realize who i truly feel like are my friends & who were people i just hung out with to kill time, i realize that no matter what i do this life, my family will always love me & finally that life goes by really fast, it feels like yesterday i had just turned 10.. it's time to live my life this year being 20, because i am only this age once~

Garlic & Chives

Garlic & Chives - Garden Grove, OC

so i didn't know till today when my parents asked to have brunch with me but this new restaurant opened up in garden grove called Garlic&Chives, it's a very casual vietnamese shop. my parents haven't eaten here prior to this time with me either, so we had no idea what to order really.. the menu is a bit could look better.. is how i will state it, but the food from the other options sounded interesting to try, they pretty much had all the basic vietnamese foods they most vietnamese restaurants have. we got: lamb, salmon belly, corn, shaken beef, sausage&eggs on sweet rice, crab & garlic noodles. the lamb was really good, that was probably my favorite item. everything else was good, but not like amazing wow, it felt like any other vietnamese dish is how the other items tasted, which isn't bad. it was also all really cheap everything is under $20, most items are about like $7. would i go back? for the lamb & to try other things, probably. presentation on the food was good too & i also liked my soda chanh (soda lemonade) overall rating for me would be ✮✮✮☆☆ 3/5.
