Table Rock Beach

06-28-14: Table Rock Beach | Fish & Chips | Moose Tracks Icecream

We came. We ate. We swam almost drowned. Although I'm from Southern California and a short drive away from the beach, I rarely actually go to the beach (which is sad). But today, we visited one my friend's hometown near Laguna Niguel and went to the beach. Something about swimming in an abyss of water just scares the heck out of me. 

Anyways, we started the day off with some really good Mexican food from Los Golandrinas. I'm pretty bummed out that I can't chew to my full abilities (you know eat a whole burrito). So, I opted to get some taquitos. They have some pretty bomb guacamole. 

Swimming. I mean floundering, was fun despite being absolutely terrifying. There was a huge drop in the beach, making it almost impossible to stand in the water without needing to swim. but it was fun none the less. Actually, it was fun seeing my friends get caught in the waves. It's not so fun being caught it one yourself. 

Honestly, I never expected to get so much sand in my bathing suit. I practically carried enough sand for a small playground back home. I know it's the beach and all, but I'v never had so much sand in my bathing suit like that. 

Anyways, we ended the day with some fresh fish and chips. and...icecream! I tried Moose Tracks which is vanilla ice-cream, fudge, and mini peanut butter cups. It was gooooood (;

Yeah I know this is another post featuring food. I lied last time. Sorry not sorry.

All I blog about is food. That's okay. Food = life. So this post is a bit late. Life has been pretty hectic despite initially not having any plans at the beginning of the summer. 

Earlier, my dad and I visited the Grand Central Market in Downtown LA. Honestly, we drove an hour, ate lunch, and drove back home. That's okay. I've been really wanting to try Eggslut (which I found during a random yelping session). It's probably because eggs are the only thing I know how to cook decently, but I've grown to love eggs. My dad ordered the Gaucho (on the left) and I got the Eggslut burger with avocado. SO GOOD. Definitely worth the 30 minute line. If you're ever in the area, try it. I don't really know how to describe it other than: they know good eggs as well as good meat. Anyways, it was a good farewell meal before I had to leave for orientation. And a healthy reminder of what I'm going to miss when I leave for school.

A little update about my life: so recently I went to my college orientation. It's kind of mind-boggling just knowing that I will be moving across the country in less than 2 months. I am excited and scared at the same time. This should be fun. Also, I got my wisdom teeth extracted the week I came back from orientation. Lucky you, I won't be posting any food for a while. I really want some real food though.

So on June 8th, my family and I decided to hike up to Griffith's Observatory. Unfortunately it was a pretty muggy day, so there wasn't a fantastic view from above. Nonetheless, it was still great. I was pretty tired from the hike (it was hella steep) so I didn't take many photos. But, here are some of my favorite shots of the day.

2014 Summer Playlist: Roadtrip

10:11 PM Unknown 0 Comments


Featured: Spotify app

 I know it's only the beginning of the summer, but I am just really excited to share my new summer playlist. This playlist will probably grow throughout the season, but here's what I've been listening to lately. 

 Right now, I am trying to archive songs that capture that "care-free" attitude of summer with upbeat songs (that also remind me of adventurous Roadtrips). I was browsing through Spotify recently and I was happy to see that some of favorite bands release some new songs this year. The song, "Best Friend," by Foster the People has been one the songs that are always on repeat. 

 Also, shout out to my new favorite android app: Spotify! I'm so happy that they made Shuffle Play free rather than only having the limited 30-day trial of Spotify Premium. Anyways, now I am able to take my playlists in the car and out exercising. I've always been the person that is too lazy to buy music and put it on an iPod, especially since my music tastes change every two weeks. Now, I can just make all the playlists I please and listen to it on my phone. yasss. Good job Spotify.

 If you have any music suggestions please tell me!

Make Music Pasadena 2014

06-07-2014: Make Music Pasadena



Coolhaus: Chocolate Chipotle Ice cream | Cinnamon Crunch Cookie


 Last minute plans of festival fun. My friend Karen and I decided to check out the music festival to see some of our favorite bands and to listen to new ones. We started at the Luckman Stage on Colorado Blvd. and saw: The Second Howl, Ester Rada, and Finish Ticket. Then we rushed to see Sylvan Esso and Tennis at the Playhouse. And back to Luckman for Saint Motel and Yuna. 

 I initially came to watch Saint Motel and Yuna because they have made their place in my numerous Spotify playlists. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint. Saint Motel played some of my favorite songs which made me super happy (: Yuna, she's a goddess and needs no other explanation. But, I also have a newfound love for Ester Rada, Tennis, and  Sylvan Esso. Sylvan Esso is probably my favorite new artist. I love their sound. 

 Hopefully this is the first of many summer concerts (: 

 These are some picture of my favorite highlights of the day. Check for more photos on my flickr.

Chicken Pasta

4:33 PM Unknown 0 Comments


Ingredients: Chicken | Spinach Basil Pasta | Mushrooms | Tomatoes | Olive oil | Various Spices

So It's officially the summer after graduating high school. Other than waiting for the impending stage of college life, I really don't have any set plans for my summer. My main goal is to learn some life skills like doing laundry, cooking, and basic living.

Today, I attempted to cook lunch (basically a mish-mash of anything I could find in the fridge). Obviously it probably would have been easier (and tastier) if I had used a recipe from a cookbook or something. But, I think it turned out pretty well. I'd probably suggest to my past self not to cook tomatoes and to add some shredded parmesan. Anyways, it was still yummy.

Here's to my adventure of learning how to cook. Stay tuned for the making of a housewife normal functioning being.
