Gluttony

People who are hungry beware!!
After I came home from my class on Thursday my brother and his gf asked if I wanted to come and join them at Denny's. I didn't pass on the offer, given that I didn't eat all day.
 
Cinnamon Cream Cheese frosting Pancake
and 
Regular pancakes
 
Sunny Side up with Mashed Hash Brown, Sausage, Bacon and Ham.
Bacon Sour Cream Cheese Fries
 
Bacon Burger Saute Mushroom with Bourbon Sauce on Cheddar Bun
Whole Grain Toast 
 
Scrambled Eggs with Mashed Hash Browns and Bacon
Strawberry Banana Smoothie
As you  can tell we were pretty hungry.

Today or "yesterday"(Friday) I went to Fat Burger with one of my best friends, Leo.
  
Chili Cheese Fries
Buffalo Curly Fries
 

After volunteer one of the managers brought out these cookies. They wanted to congratulate all the volunteer staff for conserving energy by turning off lights and unplugging electronics that are not being used. I thought it was pretty and it tasted super yummy!
Save your energy!
TURN IT OFF

Penguin

Wow I just noticed so many grammatical errors in my last post. I must have been too tired or not paying attention.
Anyways I got some good news. I completed my Red Thread story and I decided to name it Fate. As cheesy and cliche as that sounds I thought it fits well with the whole story. I don't know how I feel about this story. It is really different from my usual dark stories but hey at least this gives me some experience. I'll just provide a revised summary on my story.

  • Fate is about a married couple, Charles and Lydia who go through one of the most challenging aspect in their marriage. When Lydia discovers a secret that Charles has been hiding it takes a toll on their thread and of course their relationship. The point of view in this story is done by first person. This first person is the red thread that connected Charles and Lydia together. It is up to the red thread to help Charles and Lydia get back together to show that they are destined to be with each other. 
I hope that clears any confusion about my story. I know a couple of my friends said it was hard to grasp the concept but they did like the idea of it. I just hope I executed it really well. Hopefully by Thursday night my story will be up on this blog and hopefully I'll be able to gain some feedback! 

This was my lunch earlier today.
My mom thought it would be cute if her cooking had these penguins in it.
These are actually Penguin cartooned scallops.
It was cute, I didn't want to eat it but it was so good!
I had quinoa with mixed vegetables, stir fry chicken, shrimp and scallops. 

I took a nap earlier today which probably explains why I'm blogging this late.
This was my dinner LOL.
I didn't want to eat anything heavy or filled with too much protein.
So I stuck with a light breakfast for dinner.
Whole grain toast with peanut spread(not butter) topped with banana slices.
For my drink I have my usual green tea(Tazo) milk tea in my mason jar!

Thursday is almost approaching which means I will have all the time to fix my blog, post my ootd and my promised reviews/tutorials! 

Hope everyone had a good Tuesday and hello Wednesday!

Haste

Earlier today I asked my friends to give me a suggestion on what I should talk about. One of my friend said I should talk about how I stay warm this winter in 2014. If you live where I live you would know how cold it is right now. I myself personally don't like being cold. I hate the goose-bump feeling and I hate shivering. Although I hate all of those things I don't want to look like a marshmallow. I don't want to have to wear five layers of sweaters. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I still want to look "decent" when I feel like it. I say that because most of the time I spend it at school and I usually just wear sweat pants or yoga pants. Like I said there are days where I feel like dressing "decent" and this is how I style myself and keep warm in this harsh winter!

Left Picture: Tourist Affair
Ray-Ban - Sunglasses Hut $170
Caramel Infinity Scarf - $15
Black Cardigan - Papaya (Mom's)
Gray Sleeveless Button Up - Value Village $5
Black Harem Pants - XXI $13

Right Picture
Britannia Jacket - TNA (Original Price: $400. Gift from cousin)
Vintage Loafers - XXI $8

As you can tell I'm pretty much dressing normally. In the left picture I dressed for the weather. It was sunny and it looked warm. I thought I could wear something very light and nice. For my right picture I decided to throw my Britannia jacket as usual. I can't tell you guys how much I love this jacket. Although its very heavy it's definitely worth wearing. I don't know how many times it saved me from shivering or the goose-bump feeling. Before I got this jacket I would wear my over-sized denim jacket I got from XXI. That worked too but I had to layer. If you guys don't mind layering then it's all good. If you do, I suggest you guys invest in a nice warm jacket. To me this price seems reasonable because it does its job of keeping you warm and also you're getting your money's worth. It's not like you're not going to wear it for next winter! I know I am.
Although this jacket does have a heavy and bulky look to it, it doesn't seem to appear that way. Again, if you guys don't like this type of look because you think it looks so bulky then here are some tips.
1) Wear the jacket you like.
2) Wear a cardigan(those wool ones or knitted)! They'll be your best friends in times of coldness. The thing that I love is that it keeps your body warm and minimizes the cold from hitting the surface of your skin.
3)Layer! Layer as in wear a nice loose shirt and wear something under! You won't seem to be as puffy or bulky because of your jacket and cardigan covering your layers. I suggest 2-3 layers. Layer as in shirts and undershirts! Anything to keep your core warm!
4)Accessories! Toques, Gloves, Scarves, Leg Warmers! Anything to keep you warm and stylish. I honestly use all four whenever I'm wearing tights and a skirt. I found that leg warmers are the best!
5)Knee high or shin high boots! They'll make sure to keep your legs warm. If you're like me who gets really cold in the legs fast then this will help you retain your heat!
6)This is optional but I found that it helped me a lot. Have a thermos or tumbler of tea or coffee! Any hot beverage is awesome because it gets spread throughout your body!

Those three steps are what I followed before I got my Britannia jacket. I still even follow that when I wear my Britannia jacket and I find myself very warm and cozy! I hope this at least helps some people!

Oh and I dress warm so I can still enjoy some frozen yogurt in this cold weather. Even though I got some stares from people because they thought I was insane for eating something cold, they didn't know how warm I was ;).

January 3 , 2014.

 I got my nails done with my friend, Sharon
We then indulged ourselves with chocolate covered strawberries!
We decided to check out the store beside the nail salon.
It was pretty awesome and I guess worth the wait.

Then after I went to my friend's place to celebrate the New Year with some friends.
Great company and fun times.
It's so hard to take a damn picture with them

Christmas

December 25 , 2013

My family is known to eat out on special events like holidays. Instead of having a nice big dinner at home we decided to go out for Chinese. The same way we did on Thanksgiving! Surprisingly it was at the same restaurant!

 Family >
They've been there since the beginning. 
Obviously.
 Cousins
Wished I got more with the rest.
I wished half of my cousins were here though!
