today is cooking? making ? 만들기 데이!

오늘 아침엔 내가 일부러 8:45분 요가를 맞춰가기위해 6:30에 일어낫당! 그래서 짐싸서 newport으로 슝슝..! 어제 미리 준비물들을 다 머릿속으로 정리를 해놨지롱~

이것은 fig! cut them open, looks actually pretty good, no? 

i drizzled some honey on them and then some rosemary (the recipe said vanilla beans.... didnt have it so substituted it with rosemary, i think one of the recipes were using it for other use) and broiled them in the oven!
it actually looked pretty cool. and now ate them with yogurt, ricotta cheese! well...... i dont know. the mushy feeling of fig in your mouth is not that favorable to me...haha..three more figs to go.. but the olive oil at newport was nice! i tried another scoop of ricotta cheese with olive oil and pepper. im trying to think of a better variation of ricotta cheese using olive oil... i wonder... i dont know i just love olive oil.

i came back from bfast, i actually had some time left! had two bites of banana with peanut butter, and that was my bfast! interesting bfast tho, right? i had fun. it  was just cool to take those figs out of the oven. amazing.

this is lunch! it was the pacific-rim???what salad. the tuna was slightly seared and cold. it was okay...it wasnt that soaked in dressing as some val salads usually are. so i kinda nibbled on it having a few bites, and had two bites of larry's jalapeno corn bread! corn bread is so gooood. i think im just craving carbs. 

i just called you where are youuu

anyway. so i had chinese class, and went to frost and got a viewing room. i watched sideways! the wine movie we always looked for. it was two dudes driving around cali wineries for a week, a few tips about wine here and there, but more about their lifestyles. i will tell you more tomorrow! it was fun tho, even if i watched it alone. i was chuckling to myself while watching it. haha.  single life. 

met sara steph hansol on the way back (not intentionally) and they were going to raos! didnt plan to join them but i felt like i wouldnt study if i went back(will give in to the temptation of pinot noir, this grape was so emphasized in the movie) so i followed them. studied a bit, and steph and sara went off to val. i really didnt want to go..was thinking about ideas on my alone bike ride back to mayo.. dropped by cvs to buy some crackers for our tmrw's drinking session! you better be home!! 

and decided to atlast , that this was the perfect opportunity to utilize my avocado!!!!!

we slice, slice the avocado. yum yum smooth and really creamy. just right.
and of course i had to open a bottle of pinot noir....

cali style! full bodied, jammed with flavor, you can smell alittle bit of acidity up front and i think i felt alittle spiciness? omg the movie is really getting to me...lol..........they go to so many tastings..and they drive to the next winery afterwards! how is this possible!!

sprinkled the balsamic vinegar i stole from val, olive oil from wholefoods, peeled grapefruit and voila! pepper and salt and we are all done!

it was yummy!!!!!!! omg....................... i was full by the end of this salad. but now im hungry. hehehe....salads......they are healthy...heeeheeee

kinda wanted to read alone but steph and sara came in and we watched modern family...then dan and sylvia also came and dragged me all the way to wieland to watch the super long transformer 3.... it was boring....the girls were really into it tho. i was  dozing off half way through. there were salsa, chips. popcorn, but i only had like two each!! aren't you proud of me!! 

:) see you soon!

food diary ### nopics boop!

this morning i had a full grapefruit! it made me super full.. and i had two bites of banana with an almond and a 1/2 glass of milk. i went to class, after class i went to val with elton cuz it was raining and he didnt have an umbrella...decided to just walk him to val and grab something small myself.

he made a fruit smoothie and gave me a glass! it was refreshing but since he put all the fruits in it was kinda.........mixed taste. haha you cant really identify the fruits anymore.

after my hectic morning, as you may know, of losing my ring and then finding it, handing in the wrongly printed hw, going to the library and printing it out again, emailing the spreadsheet(for some reason the TA emailed me back: Thanks. -> what the heck? he didnt do this last time!!), and going to chinese class and realizing i left my pencil case in Merrill 4 and running back and forth to get it, retrieving my bike in the rain, ...

met sara in val while i was grabbing some greens..i have to utilize the avocado in my fridge... oh well...nibbled on some dried cranberries and came back to my room!

the weather's weird..

in the afternoon, i mostly finished my math hw... and went to yoga again! will go again tmrw morning! for dinner i didnt want to go to val..now my urge to cook is resurfacing again! dont want to go to val anymore! tried one more fig before i left for yoga. it was better than i first tried it! with ricotta cheese.

but went with steph anyway and had some salmon... dang...i didnt take pics intentionally..my plate looks so boring it bores me now.... it stresses me out that my plates are the same everyday. but the salmon was okay, and they are trying out weird hummuses now like red pepper green hummus, kalamata olive hummus, today was black bean hummus? -0- had some green beans and since they had breakfast for dinner ( i think guys hate this the most.. larry was having a bacon egg pancake sandwich...sad... lol) i just stopped at a small scoop of granola.

and then zhongguo! chinese!
chinese chinese there was a huge firealarm and my ear was bursting..so loud..and it was rainy outside boohoo.

달리자 달리자!!

히히히

hello!!

it was anotherrrr longgg dayyyyyyy. we are expected to 달려!!! until next weds when a big report is due (bcg will be presenting in front of all the top dogs,, 임원들 .) i probably wont be invited though =/ cuz interns were not worthy...

i would love to go see it!! they probably have good food!!... koreans love to be fed and pampered hehehe!

the presentation might contain one of the thousandes of data/research/graphs i make for them!! if i am lucky!!

i wonder how much of the stuff i give them actually get used...they request a lot of work but i think most of stuff get tossed away lol...

anywaysss

lunch was extravagant!!! 8 different dishes !1 (couldnt take pics sorry =/) 묵음지두부, 북어국, 미역 무침, 밥, 라면 (no idea where this came from... funny) , 2 pieces of 딤섬 만두, 동그랑땡 andddddddd apples!!

i think this was the first time they served fruits lol... they should do it every day !!! like create a dessert section that serves fruits and cakes !! that would be a good idea righttt!!

oh and did KT have an area where u can rate the food? here, there are 3 buttons to rate the food at the eixt lol.. you get to choose from 맛있었다, 보통이었다, 맛없었다 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

kind of funny!! i usually put 보통이었다!!! cuz... it is !! !lol. but my teammates like pushing the 맛없었다 button.... so mean!!!


dinner was a dud... we went to 중국집... and i wanted something different so i ordered...
짬봉밥... n they just gave u a bowl of rice and 짬뽕 국물 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ what the heck??? really??? cant they be little bit more creative... at least add the rice inside the soup ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

i am so going back to my usual rotation of 볶음밥 and 짜장면... lets not be too adenture at 중극집... it will come to bite u..

and then the pic of the day!!!

oh man never knew i would be doing this again!!! i thought it was over at school.. during finals...
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ tasted good though!!!

:))) interesting amherst 탐방 데이!!

yesterday morning i had half a banana and i tried the ricotta cheese savory style! with olive oil and salt and pepper! it was interesting..not exactly my favorite, but i think with more additions and crackers it would be good! :) and i bought honey as well... 

honey +ricotta cheese+nuts?? yum..

and for lunch i had a salad and some granola! i m gonna stop eating granola now i think i munch on too much granola...hing...and i had two bites of chili corn bread. the corn bread was really good, moist and a little bit spicy. 

after class i was biking back, and i saw the signs: Kendrick's Market 2-7pm! i saw this last week too and wanted to go but had promised to meet maddie and steph at black sheep so ...today, i decided to just ride my bike on the way back to mayo! 슝-

the market was really tiny, like only 7-10 stands? most of them selling fruit, seasonal veggies, and bread euphoria - the bread stand that always comes out on saturday's farmer's market! and sugar town? maple syrup specials.. and on .i was passing by the orchard stand and the lady gave me an apple and told me to try it! :DD

The baguette looked pretty yummy! i sneaked my hand in the basket and squeezed it and it had a decent crust! maybe ill buy one this Saturday and have it with the goat cheese! with our wine skype party! hohoho

and then there was the goat cheese stand! they had goat cheese truffles (um..remember?) but normal chevre, and also special marinated goat cheese! they were marinated with lavender, oregano, herbs and pepper mixed into it? it sounded so good! i remember the purple haze i tried in nyc, it was also with lavender and it was so yummy..

and i was thinking i could buy it next time, but the lady said this was their last week for this year since they are going to be busy buying and coordinating a new farm! omg!! this tells me i have to buy it!!! 

the vegetables were really colorful. beautiful right? fall colors:)

and a cute little doggie. hoho. 

curious about the menu! they have different menus every week.

and guess what i found...................on the way back. 

right next to henion bakery! kinda lost its classy look tho. right? 

 the insides got way larger. it was hard to take pics from the outside..hehe

but you can see it got way larger!and i think they brought the same posters as well. now it accomodates around 20 -30 people i guess? 

and dinner was at boring val. i just picked at my fish and had a slice of cheese. and picked at the hummus... eww...

and steph and i tried to utilize our not-so-good chocolate stout leftovers, and decided to make the irish bomb! half shot of whisky and baileys dunked into pint of (originally guinness but we changed this part) beer!
 we didnt have whisky so we decided to take a walk to russells and bought the mini cheap black velvet canadian whiskey. i actually bought another mini knob creek bourbon whiskey so i can make whisky tonic when i feel like it. : D

the  irish bomb!!! it was not up to our expectations tho. i think it was the beer...so even bad beer cannot be masked by cocktails... ew..
we tried the stone smoked porter, shared it with larry and sara and had a small suite chat ( i guess larry and sara are speaking terms now?? it was so awkward for me when larry just knocked and walked in sara's room... it will get better i hope??) and then i went to sleep!!

today's another new day!

immigration office adventure!!

i went to the immigration office today!!

woke up a bit later than usual around 8am, went to 동사무소 to get a bunch of 서류 i needed to get "the residency card" .. (this card supposedly restores your 주민번호 so u can get health insurance, get paid and even vote??)

there was only office at 목동 so i took 9호선 and went 뿌룽뿌룽 as quickly as i could! it actually didnt take that long to get there, the place was rather empty (i had so many terrible experiences at the us immigration office... they were the worst of the worst... one time.. this girl made me go back between 2 offices three times for no good reason.. n yelled at me cuz my hand writng was bad... what the heck)

when my turn came, i turned the forms and ran back to the subway station!!

well of course on the way to the subway i grabbed brunch.. 만두!! i think i got the first batch of the day cuz the store was just opening as i entered.. 만두 were 탱탱 and so fresh

so good!! i noticed something while i was eating my delicious 만두.. nobody in korea eats while walking??? hmm i think its more common in the usa.. well probably cuz americans tend to eat sandwiches n pizza more!

i got back to the office around noon and started power working!! oh i had another thought while i was on the subway... why is the card i am getting called residencey card???? i am abit worried that having two residency status will nullfy my us resideceny... u know it technically doesnt make sense to be residents of two countries??? I have a korean passport..and i am korean so why do i need another card to live n get paid in korea. nothing makes much sense..... i need to get US citizenship as soon as possible to settle my identiy for good!!

dinner was 국내식당!! had this random soup..... cant remember the name... it had like black balls... tasted like fish eggs.. kind of squishy.. gross... so i didnt really eat..!!

my coffee collection pics!!! heheheheh 싸구려 꼬맹이 커피들과 돈좀있는 형님커피 ㅋㅋㅋ

since i dont sleep much theses. days . i am beginning to lose sense of reality.. i feel like my week consist of just one looooongg dayyyyy with naps here and there.. 오늘이 내일같고.. 어제가 오늘같고... 다 똑같어 ㅋㅋㅋ 이제... 그냥 원 롱데이!!!

ramramrarmam

useless title!

ohh yesterday I tried two spoonfuls of the wholefoods brand ricotta cheese i bought! it seemed okay....but it was really filling. maybe since its wholemilk. but it had the less calories among all the wholemilk bland!

then i met minho, had a bowl of oatmeal, with grapenuts and flax seeds, sunflower seeds and a few raisins mixed into it. i poured some oatmeal into it and turned it in the microwave so it was bubbly and hot! and i had a peach! and stole a few bites of steph's plum.... i didnt really have time for lunch so i just had a few bites of an apple.

but then to say goodbye to daniel i went to limered!

this is the mango ice blizzard larry got. it was okay. i think their milk based drinks like assam milk tea and taro milk tea is better. i tried larry's mango blizzard, daniel's mango milk tea, and hansol's assam milk tea with no sugar! it was refreshing and yummy since i was hungry without lunch. hehe..

for dinner , we went to HOT with mj's dad and his friend! before that i went to bed bath and beyond and got my 20% off of my chair cushion(i meticulously brought my receipt..hehe) and went to wholefoods! steph bought goat cheese and crackers, yogurt, mj also bought blueberries and yogurt i think? i bought olive oil and honey! honey and oliveoil for my ricotta cheese and yogurt in the morning! nowadays i had breakfast with minho , steph so i didnt have time to eat bfast in my room!

then we headed over to HOT!!!두둥

and my mysterious menu.............................is.......................


had a sudden crave for this......

................yumm...the sizzling sound... was ...


....amazing...

this is the galbi the dad ordered for us! it was okay. better than last time when it was 질겨. 

these are my pics for today! i was pretty full but didnt eat all the rice tho! 

the dad's friend was interested in sending his daughter to amherst and we had a big debate about the goods and bads about amherst..i think we talked for about an hour... 

it was so late and i didnt do much work...so i was tired.... i have more work to do today!!

역시....조금만 놀면...... 이렇게 일이 쌓여간다ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

loooonggg dayy

what a long day!!!

had my usual quick breakfast today, one slurp of sunny side up egg as i was rushing out the door!
you know what i 고민 every morning even though i know very well what to do??? whether to take taxi or not!! lol.. you know and i know.. probably everyone in the world knows.. taking the taxi is not worth it... but every morning.. when feel super lazy... u just cant get rid of the thought!!! i feel like some evil angel inside my head is trying to trick me!!!

no way.. i must resist.. and save money hehe!!

no taxi this week so far1! yayy

surprisingly we didnt go to 국내 식당 today.. 팀장님 was feeling something different... he always asks us all where we want to go... but he usually just goes whevere he wants to go anyways lol... we left a bit early today... before 12.. so everyhwere was crowded!!.. there were so many 회사원.. everywhere.. like swarms of them... rushing around..in identical white shirts.. . squeezing into restaurants... 회사원들한 테 깔려 죽으면 아물하겠지? ㅋㅋㅋ

we stopped by at lesat 2-3 places before we settled on 곰탕집!

i ordered 닭도리탕. my mom used to love making it but i havent had it in a while so i gave it a try!!.. the broth was spicy and the chicken meat were tender!!

i tried not to touch 감자 though.. heheh carbs for no good reason!

사진 upload 집에 가서 할께

another trash can shot!! (lol i should make this a daily thing.. u can see what i eat... n trash cans dont lie u know...)

i generally drink a lot of liquids.. 배가 심심하니까 ..재미로.. 계속 마시게되 ㅋㅋ there are some snacks too but i avoid them to cut down on calories!!

비타민 씨 drink is from the client... 가끔씩 client 분들이 뭐 사주셔 ㅋㅋㅋ shouldnt it be the opposite though?? like we should be buying clients food... drinks and everything... i dunno why that doesnt happen lol.. i dont remember us buying them anything..

they also gave us pizza !! i couldnt resist so i had a slice!!.. each had a slice and there was one left... everyone kept pushing each other to take the last one... but in the end nobody did lol.. what a waste!! 그래도 2개 먹기는 눈치 보이니까... ㅋㅋ

it was pretty interesting.. the toppings were plentiful.. like roni, peppers, mushroom, onions and etc.. what was special was that there was 고구마 inside the crust!!

when i first bit into it, i was expecting just regular bread crust so i was pleasantly shocked by the discovery!! yayyy korean creativity in american cusinine.. i love it!! actually this was my first pizza in korea?? (hmm.. im probably lying to myself ㅋㅋㅋ but cant think of an instance.)

dinner was 분식집 again ㅋㅋㅋ but this time no 주먹밥 =/ ... just lots of 떡볶이.. 순대, 뛰김.
i wasnt that hungry cuz of pizza so i ate little..

after dinner,,, serious work began... the other intern left at midnight but i pushed through till 5am!! woot!!!

i passed out on the taxi and the driver had to wake me up lol.. the first time this happened... i must have been tired..

early morning diary!!!

helllooooo :)

yesterday was a bright and sunny day! i think today's weather will be okay too..i hope, at least its not too cold. i woke up early today since i scheduled a bfast chat with minho...and then i will go to library and study!!!

yesterday morning i had half an orange, and then went to breakfast with steph!
we were kinda short on time so we made a quick smoothie!

big smoothie pic!!! and fruits. when we first made smoothies at the beginning, it was mostly we just put everything inside cuz it looked good. now we know how to choose to concentrate on few flavors! we put in 2/3 of a banana, an orange, and some blueberries, yogurt, ice! it taste really refreshing. it wasnt that thick due to the orange. 

and the fruits at val was pretty good. i ate half of the peach and plum, and that was my bfast!

i nibbled on a few cranberries during math class and this was my lunch! the eggplant salad next to the granola was pretty good .but too much oil though, so a little big soggy..but eggplants like that anyway. ! and i had some tomatoes and then started nibbling on the granola and talked to you! i actually finished that!!!! omg!!! so much granola!!!

the yogurt mix wasnt that good, i swirled it and tasted a bit but then stopped...i think the yogurt in val isnt to my taste anymore? somewhat too tangy and sour... hing.

a close up on the granola! it has honey chunks of oats? mixed into it. yum.

and dinner was boring val salad. we were going to bike during the day but hansol-_- who apparently was also joining us didnt have her bike prepared... not that she could actually bike in heels as she insisted. i think sara was getting annoyed..haha. 

so we were chatting in king but lian was passing by. and you know lian is the only kid that daniel really hates? LOL so funny. but he said he was going to town for an interview? or preparing for it at least... but he wasnt leaving..and everyone was like exchanging glances like "why arent you leaving...-_-" steph and i were like WTH. he was just standing next to the sofa kinda listening to our conversation. he was the #1 annoying person there. 

of course there was #2. that was hansol. i dunno, but she made alot of somewhat,..off comments that just didnt make any social sense. really socially awkward sometimes...totally missing the point of the conversation and questions..i dont know. kinda annoyed me. i mostly wanted to chillax with daniel before he left but the group was kinda big(steph sara mj hansol and randy) so it was a bit hard. oh well...

mj asked me ysted: what would you say to a younger version of yourself? like a motto you want to always respect? think about in life? i said after thinking...: chillax? 

i guess i just want to be less intense and be more easygoing with people , studies and life i guess.. steph said: engage in life. she feels like she's always passive. i think mj said something similar to me since she's also really sensitive and stressed out about stuff. what about U! kkkk 

oh we went to yoga again! very relaxing. thinking about biking to wholefoods today to buy some honey and olive oil! i think we had some pepper left last semester..but i think it disappeared with my chair cushion and some random stuff..was there another box??I dont understand where some of my stuff went. 

anyway i hope you read all this!!

wow i felt like i was getting out of work at 5pm today..

very short day!! i left work around midnight today!! felt so weird.. though.. i couldnt believe my ears when my boss told me to leave... i said i would stay longer.. (Showed my enthusiasm u know.... suck some ass..) but he asked me to leave.. cuz there is nothing else to do!!

lol.. so i left.. kind of unwillingly... 천천히 taking long ass steps towards the door 두리번두리번..눈치보면서. .stopping and looking back a couple of times.. to see if anyone needed my help....... other dudes in my team were still all there.. so i was still a bit anxious about leaving by myself... i want to work as hard as possible and get the job!!!!!

once i was out of the office, it felt good! to go home early!! hehehe

todays lunch was 칼국수 agian... same old... regular 칼국수!! i was kind of bored with the food!! the other intern was smarter.. he ordered 매밀!! i like 매밀! shouldve ordered that.. god... why am i so dumb when it comes to ordering food!! need ur help dearly!! 힝 힝

this is a pic of what i drank today!!! hehe

in the trash can!!

옥수수차, 팹시 zero, water and oops ㅋㅋㅋ 빠다코코.. sry... i couldnt resist.. i cheated and had some!! so buttery and declious.... godly heavenly.. ridaculous!!

dinner was at the 조미료 많이 넣는집 again ㅋㅋㅋㅋ u can see the routine now??? nooo..... i should suggest more variations... like 돈까스... and hmm... 순대국... 만두 갈비찜 ㅋㅋㅋ 스파케티!!! ill teach my boss how to eat well and enjoy life!

this is me on the taxi! trying to put my arms out the window and look cool!! hehehe

내일은 언제 끝나지??? ㅋㅋㅋ maybe this week ill end around midnight. shouldnt have high expectations though... ill be sad..... i think there is another holiday coming up on monday??

i should try to grab breakfast too!! 하루 세끼먹어야지 건강할탠데... i so i wish i had the orange juice making machine i saw at 신새게... if i had that .. i would make fresh juice everyday for breakfast@@@

put that on my bday wish list!!

detox day!!

hello! morning skype with you!
and had our beer session! even though i was grumpy at the end of the session it was still good. we should make it our sunday session! happy happy. beer, wine and explore!
maybe we can do cheese too..hehe

so after i had half a banana peanut butter and the german weissbier with you, i went to raos to study with steph! it was a very fruitful session! i read over chapter 5, and then did most of my geometry problem set! harharhar. i had a sip of mj's vanilla latte with 3 espresso shots... i only took one sip. but then i think the caffeine came to me my head started hurting...i dunno...

then i got so hungry so biked back ..but i had forgotten my keys!! omg!!
so i had an apple from steph's fridge and sneaked steph's김.캬캬 but then my head started hurting.... concentration dropping..

tmrw i have a 8:30 class tmrw..so i should sleep early!!

we went to val. they had tuna! some kind of lamb's leg and chicken in eggplant stew?
but i just took the salmon and tuna and random salad. it was okay...the tuna was moister.

big juicy looking salmon! but it was actually quite dry..didnt finish it.
then stole some cranberries for my morning yogurt! and sunflower seeds and flax seeds and stuff. hehe. :)

today's movie screening was a charlie chaplin one called city lights! charlie chaplin was a tramp who falls in love with a blind flower girl. and he meets a drunk millionaire who was trying to commit suicide and helps him and the millionaire throws parties for him and calls him his friend. but when the millionaire becomes sober, he forgets the tramp and doesnt recognize him. crazy!

had a nice phone call with my mom. she seems not mad at me, but not full of energy! i tried to make jokes and told her i miss the california avocado rolls we used to make. i want her to be happy!!

a new week! fighting!

one big meal..

had only one big meal today!

woke up around 2pm and went to meet the dude from hakwon at 종로.. he wants to meet one more time next weekend before he leaves for america...

we had 보쌈 today ㅋㅋㅋ with 3 bottles of 막걸리 oh and 순대..!! food was ok!! the only problem i have with 보쌈 is that it just doesnt taste that fresh,... u know what i mean? . it feels like the meat has been lying around for a while! i prefer 구워먹는거! i convined him that we should go to bqq next time! 생삼겹살!!! with soju!! yayyy 소삼 ㅋㅋㅋ my fav

we got pretty full with all that makguli and 보쌈... but we were not done... we cant just go home after 3 bottles right??? 좀허전하지.. according to him.. he never had 낮술 until today.. lol... i guess i introduced him to a new world!!

so we went to 편이점 and bought 2 more bottles of soju... and looked around for a plce to drink!!

i love korea for not limiting where i can drink.. we finally found a place nearby subway station... in the middle of 사거리 ㅋㅋㅋ .. the place was pretty open and there were a lot of people walking around! and there were some hobos sleeping too ㅋㅋㅋ .. but we were too tipysy to care! let the world know that we like soju!! if carrying guns represent freedom in america drinking soju in the middle of the street reprsents freedom in korea!! muhahahah we just opened two bottles and started to drink!!

it was nice,, getting tipysy as the sun was setting and the world was getting dark around us... we felt like nothing coudl stop us! .the power of soju... so dangerous!! .. hehehe i want to experiene this feeling with you !!! in nyc!

he had a lot to say today... about getting ignored by a girl.. i told you... so he went on and on and on and on and on... about how this girl might be the one ㅋㅋㅋㅋ tipycal 술주정... and abotu his future... ㅋㅋ how he is going to succeed in japan and stuff like that...

me being kinda... playful with 샐카... you dont see that often..ㅋㅋㅋ could see im tiypsy..

after that i bought 만두 from 부식점 nearyby.. bought cafri 맥주 ㅋㅋㅋ and went home!! to meet you!!!

my saturday!!!

hello! :)
i am up early!! slept early ystd right??? had a sleepy skype session with you.

yesterday I woke up really late......... and after that I ate almost nothing instead a grapefruit. afterthat we went to the moshimoshi place! it was kinda cute and cozy..but the portions were really small for guys and a bit expensive...so i was a bit sorry to the other guys.

this is our appetizer! this is called the honeymoon special! would have shared with you normally...but shared with steph..hehe.. it is fresh oysters topped with raw quail egg and sea urchin( okay..maybe i would have still shared it with steph..you dont like sea urchin..uni.!) it just slid into your mouth in one bite! gone instantly. 

this is the caterpillar roll sara and mj ordered! it looks like a cute caterpillar right?? it was pretty good with the avocado!

this is steph and my dish. guess wht the name is..? 

volcano roll! kinda looks like a volcano... i think it has tuna, salmon in it? and deep fried. i can get why it was expensive since all of the rolls are individually fried... 

and steph and i shared an orion beer! its apparently a japanese local beer. it was smooth and okay! for some reason(i dunno maybe bc i didnt eat all day? ) my insides werent feeling that well..so i ate really slowly..........was glad steph and i didnt order that much. larry also ordered the orion beer and said it was the best beer he ever tasted. but i dunno...it wasnt that amazing for me. interesting.. 

then we had wine and cheese party! :) we had goat cheese, white wine i bought at amherst wine and spirits, crackers and some cheese dan bought for us at whole foods. russell also came! this is the white wine we bought. mj and sara liiked it..then you can guess it was really fruity. i didnt really like it that much..... haha. dan didnt seem to like it that much either. he also goes for dry wine. he said the wine kinda tasted like grape juice..hahahahah welchs........

the top wine is what dan recommended and hansol bought back! she bought back two bottles! it was actually pretty nice! bordeaux... full bodied and flavorful. not too fruity, dry, i liked it. sara was like.......umm i think i like fruity wine.............. too bad for you!

this is the 'special' cheese dan kim bought back for us. the simple gruyere and robusto. the cheese they always have for samples at wholefoodS!!! dan kim was talking about a special cheese he wanted....but it was this... steph and i were disappointed.. but it was a good table cheese for everybody. very 무난해. and everyone finished it so it was a success! 

this time i just nibbled on some cheese and didnt eat the chips at all! i was proud of myself. only had a bite of the goat cheese too. 

but im sure even some cheese is not good for you. 

then guess where we went.... we took the car...

waffle fries at the original hangar itself! we went with randy and tanya as well. tanya got the job! as you may know kk 정현오빠 too.we met 정현 오빠 and alex chang at the hangar too! they ordered huge nachochips.. i had some of the nacho chips........oops fail. and nibbled at the fries and wings a little bit. 

hangar also has a lot of beer on tap! i tried an octoberfest one. hacker-pschorf? some weird name. the guy said it was amazing..but the first taste was good, smooth and kinda honeyamber ish? but there wasnt a long finish so that kinda disappointed me. but hansol and steph all really liked it! 

there was actually southern tier creme brulee ontap! and they also had the pumking. southern tier! look up the brand you'll know which brand im talking about. tanya had the creme brulee one. the smell was really strong, you could smell the chocolate, creamy, creme brulee strong..dark .. but it was too strong for most of the people so i was mostly sippinig on it... but going to hangar's at night was fun! i think randy was sad now he has to send tanya away.. tanya was crazy packing. randy was really affectionate towards tanya..i could see. it was sweet! oops you're calling me!!

saturday saturday!!

heheh saturday!!

i didnt want to waste the whole day like last weekend where I slept until 7pm... so i set the alarm at noon and woke up!!!

i was feeling kimbab so i orded 2 rolls from 김가네 . you can never go wrong with their kimbaba, its so good and filing.. the ingredients are fresh and the rice is seasoned well.

after devouring kimbab i realized 아줌마 made a little 햄버그스태이크 lunch for me lol..

do u see how she molded the rice? just like in a restaurant! i was already full so i saved it for mid-afternoon snack at 4pm! hehehe

the rice was interesting. it was 작곡밥? it had 콩 as well as 밤? i like 밤 . they are sort of sweet so they go well with bland rice. u can eat the rice by itself!

the steak wasnt the best lol.. but it probably was premade meat so.. cant expect much

the egg was sunny side up as always.. that is how the family has it always.. hehe i like it sunny side up too! cuz the yolk oozzes out and makes everyhing juicy

dinner was 미억국, very traditional birthday food right? with some fish. i did not eat much cuz i already had 2 meals for the day!

after that i went out to buy some goodies.. 카스태라 for 아줌마, socks for work and beer and 소보루빵 for our skyping session!! hehe

it was fun talking to u while drinking!! ill try to look for something new again, maybe german again.. something with more punch tho!!

and 만두!! 호호호ㅗ호 빠이 씨유순

:( bad detox!!

today is detox..no detox??!!!

i had finished the blueberries and yogurt today! i will take pics next time.. i was in a hurry this morning... but had the usual yogurt and went to yoga! it was a 8:30 am session.

then i had nothing till lunch..and lunch was

this was a weird val friday salad! this was southwestern salad with steak! the steak was pretty juicy. I didn't finish all the salad but then had an egg, and then had a few bites of banana with peanut butter! due to 생리통 my insides werent feeling that well... and was kinda stressed out ... but now will stop eating!!! had a few bites of granola and 1/3 of hot milk. hing...

 for dinner i had a glass of the white wine below with granola bar! was watching modern family with steph and shared the white wine with her! and then we went to soju night and didnt drink at all...they were out of yogurt for the yogurt soju. awkward..apparently minjeong wasnt really talking to steph..and steph felt awkward... then we went to amherst coffee with mj and steph and dan.... but then yeji and dean followed...why ???i dunno.

this white wine was pretty okay...i finished the last glass this morning with a last bite of pineapple cake....kyakyakya. its all about food..
