Random Acts of Cherry

4.20.2009

Well Monday wasn’t so eventful for me since I had school all day. Dee and David hit up two spots from Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. First was Schooner or Later then they met up with our buddy Bob for Studio Diner. Dee called me up and asked me if I wanted anything from Studio so I checked out their menu online and decided with the Cinnamon Swirl Studio Toast. I devoured 3 slices of it when they came back at like 12 AM. It was so yum. I don’t know what everyone else ordered except they did bring home leftovers of The Mess from Schooner or Later. Boring food day, sorry. But Tuesday will be good just you wait!

So I said I’d post about how much food we consumed while my friend was here visiting and I think I should do so now before I forget everything we ate last week. We ate so much; it’s basically all we did while Dee was here. I was going to put it all in one long post, which I started writing but I got to Thursday and realized it was so long no one would want to read it. So what I decided to do was just post one day at a time to make it easier to read. Anyway let’s begin our adventures in eating for the week ending April 25, 2009.

Sunday, I went with Mira to pick Dee up from LAX. We went back to my house where my mom cooked us chicken adobo for lunch. Mira wasn’t going to stay for lunch but my mom laid on a guilt trip which made it impossible for her to refuse, even with her being on a diet. Poor Mira.

So around 5 PM our buddy David came to pick Dee and I up. We ended up at the GardenWalk where we were going to watch Fast & Furious. We had time to kill because the movie didn’t start ‘til close to 8 so where do we go? Mrs. Fields of course. They were having a buy 3 cookies get 1 free offer…how can we refuse that? We also hit up one of those candy shops and got a bag full of candy for the movie. Want to know something funny? We didn’t even watch the movie. We get into the theater to watch F&F and David’s like, “Oh crap, I have a quiz due at 9.” So we leave after the previews, get a refund, and hurry back to my house. Don’t worry, he did his quiz in time.

So after the buddy got his quiz turned in, we had a discussion on where to go for dinner. David wanted to go to the Boiling Crab but we knew it’d be packed and it’d probably close soon after we were seated. He also suggested Cajun Corner but eh, I steared him away from it because I didn’t want shrimp lol. So after a while I suggested Korean BBQ and told them I went to a really good one before but I couldn’t remember which street it was on and I never knew the name of it. So we started searching Yelp for ones ‘til I thought I found the one I went to: Pal Gak Jung. It ended up not being the same one I went to but it was really good! We got 3 all you can eats. OMG so much meat. Too much meat. After a while I just quit and Dee and David got mad and said that I wasn’t “pulling my weight”. Pshhh I’m only ## pounds I totally WAS for my size lol. They had to finish the last batch of meat all on their own because you know, those places charge you extra if you don’t finish the meat. We left the place vowing to never eat all you can eat Korean BBQ ever again. Let’s see how long that vow will last.

One of my bff’s from Philly came for a visit this past week. We had so much fun together, even though most of what we did was basically eat, eat, then eat some more (I’ll tell you about in a later post). Anyway, she’s gone now, still in So Cal but she has to attend a wedding tomorrow.

Dee, you will be missed. The house is going to be so much more quieter without your loud ass here. :(

It’s hot. I bet hell would be cooler than what the temperature is right now. The dashboard on my Macbook says it’s 99 degrees. It’s hot. I’m hot (temperature-wise. I’m not conceited, okay?). I’m tired. I want to crawl into the freezer. It’s hot. It’s not even Summer yet. I’m sweaty. My house has a/c but it knocks out our electricity so we don’t use it. It’s hot. I’m dying. I’m sorry if this post is stupid. This is how I feel like when it’s hot, I just don’t voice it in so many complaints in person. Actually, that was a lie, I do. It’s hot. I need to go somewhere cool. It’s too hot.

What’s your favorite Disney song?

For me it’s a tie between “Part of your World” and “A Whole New World”.

What’s yours?

I find that pleasing others is a crock. We go out of our way just to make another person happy. We will dress a different way, talk different, even walk different just to get a compliment or that much needed head nod from even a stranger.As beings, we become so concerned with how others view us that we will do everything to change their opinion or view about us.

Whatever happened to pleasing yourself?

If you’re content with how you are, that should be the end of the issue. We are so obsessed with the opinions of others, we let it affect who we talk to or how we go about presenting ourselves to others.

I’ve seen it on numerous occasions, even with the Internet. People “re-create” their selves to impress people they will probably never run into. Everyone wants to be the artistic soul. Or the fashionista. Or the intellectual. And if you truly are these characters, that is fine. But no one should feel as if they are less of a person because they can’t quote Emerson or they don’t get indie music. Fuck it, if you like square dancing, square dance your heart away.

Be true and be real to yourself.

Yup. I’m my crazy self and you can like it or not but I’m not going to change who I am because you don’t like it. Crazy = fun to me. By the way, I don’t mean real crazy, just weird crazy. :)

I have nothing interesting to write about so I’m going to take something I used a while back as one of my 25 random facts on that stupid thing on Facebook. Here you go:

When I was a kid, my cousin had this tricycle. I wanted to ride it but my mom said no. So I kept begging and whining ‘til she gave in. I road it on the flat sidewalk from the middle of our driveway to the end of it when it tipped over, I fell and broke my arm. Suffice to say I learned my lesson.

Dangerous Minds has been coming on MTV lately and it made me remember that when I was in 6th grade, I wanted to put “Gangster’s Paradise” as my favorite song in the 6th grade yearbook but they wouldn’t approve it. Instead, I put “Killing me Softly” by the Fugees. I guess killing is better than gangsters. Whatever.

I need to get going. Bye.

My Tumblr looks like the walls of a 13 year old girl’s room with these pictures I’ve been posting. Oops.

It’s a Korean drama. My first one ever thanks to the persuasion of a couple of friends. It’s awesome. I finish one episode and I go straight to the next. I can’t stop. Want to watch with me? You get used to the boys’ (and the girl’s) hair. I promise.
