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. 

KRAPSYK GOES TO: Las Vegas 1/18-1/20

So this time i went to vegas i got to stay @ bellagio's penthouse suites~ it was really big, about 5 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, living room, dining room & bar. As always i'm very thankful to get to stay in penthouse suites/skyloft suites & such^^

Sage @ the Aria Hotel

Of course my first night in vegas i had to eat at my favorite restaurant Sage @ the Aria hotel. The food as usual was amazing. i ordered all my favorite & this time around i decided to try the bacon wrapped pork loins & the foie gras candy bars, which was like a hella taste like expensive snicker bar. overall, the food here is always consistently amazing. i truly cannot describe how amazing the food is, because it's something you seriously need to experience for yourself~ service as always is attentive & they're so nice when it comes to asking "what would you recommend?" i forever love the food here.

Prime @ the Bellagio hotel

For my second night in vegas, i decided to have an "early birthday dinner" (my birthday is feb.8th). i didn't think i could find restaurants to top my favorite sage, but i actually did & it was prime. the atmosphere is very nice & fancy is exactly how i would describe it. note, i ate alone both nights, long story, but at this restaurant i had such a nice romantic view of the water show, it truly is a nice romantic place. my date was my food obviously. the beef tartare was amazing.. forsure my favorite place now when it comes to raw meat~! the truffle mashed potatoes was seriously a taste you must try, it was literally amazing.. the ahi tuna melts in my mouth & had a nice tempura like texture on the outside wrapping it. since i told them i was celebrating my birthday, i got a free creme brûlée~! this restaurant is now my current number 1 instead of sage when it comes to favorites in vegas right now.

Here's some bonus pics of some food & stuff i saw before i left Las Vegas & headed home.

'til next time~! (◠‿◠✿)

CES 2015

So, i went to CES 2015, which is the consumer electronic show, where big companies like samsung, sony, polaroid, kodak, canon, etc.. showcase what's up & coming for their latest electronic products & such. i was lucky to be able to go this year & check stuff out. i got a lot of cute key chains & such & also got to meet 50cent who is like my childhood rap star~! haha it was nice to experience this, i felt like a cool company person. i look forward to seeing some products release soon & cars are such. it was like being in tomorrowland of disneyland, happening today. the future really is happening so fast. i would type out more but i am honestly so tired from walking around the convention & such, there also isn't much to say, my pictures should be self explanatory~ much fun, such wow.
