{130} Cough Drops

Oh, the much needed cough drops!! 

{130} Stairs

Staircase I found walking around downtown

{129) Name Tags with Power

At work, it used to have cool magnetic name tags for instrumental teachers.

Now they want to make a change, and have all instructors (even us measly theory teachers) wear this name tag. The change is supposed to cause notices among the students and create power and authority.

But really, to me, it just looks like I'm a volunteer now. 

{129} Bottles

Happy hour at La Mar Cebicheria Peruana, Pier 1.5

{128} Needed Accessories Everyday

I need a watch, a ring on my right hand, and preferably some sort of leather bracelet.

But without a watch, I will definitely feel uneasy running out the house.

{128} Trellis

From my garden. Just learned how to make photos appear both big and in focus on the blog today. But it's too time consuming to go back and correct all the photos.

{127} Mock Practicum

Cats are drying up and I cannot tell what the teachers are really pinning at this point unless the vessel is fat. 

Ugly no? Sorry, this is all that I'm doing this week :p

{127} Dress on a Tree

Sometimes I like to hang my clothes on trees. No, not really. I probably saw this in an Anthropologie catalog or something. Lace H&M dress in my garden.

{126} Focus & Out of Focus

Learning from B-Chao how to focus in the front and out of focus on the back

He's a good teacher, I just forgot it all.

{126} Alamo Square

Postcard spot. It looks warm, but it was not. It was very windy and like 55 degrees probably. Yet, some people were still laying topless on the grass and tanning haha.

{125} Chae Banh | Irvine

Some rice & sugar drink served after dinner, I believe.

{125} Bottomless Mimosas

Delicious party brunch at Lime

{124} Soft Boiled Egg

At Curry House | Irvine, CA

{124} Crepevine

Today was a perfect day of shopping in the morning and a food adventure at night. I went to Off-the-Grid with Lauren and her college roommates for delicious street truck vendor food. Afterwards, we went to Crepevine for hot chocolate and dessert (pictured above).

{123} Power of Patterns

When I have a plain outfit, a bold-colored scarf or a pattern brightens up the outfits, or amps it up a bit.

A scarf is also good for low cut shirts, it'll be in place where a cleavage would have been shown.

{123} "Jewelry" Box

I put a lot of random stuff in here. Taking pictures in my room. I am finally cleaning it because it took me A WEEK to find my keys, which were buried under old Anthropologie catalogs.

{122} Nightstand

It's in sepia, because it really needs some dusting

{122} ::guffaws::

At first when I saw this van with a bunch of dry-cleaned dress shirts and slacks I laughed and thought who's so busy that they need to have a bunch of clothes ready, pronto, all the time!

And then I saw a man from a dry-clean business come towards the van with more clothes. I guess it's dry cleaning delivery van.

Another moment where I'm proven not to judge. 

{121} Nail Polish

Can't wait to buy more...I really want a light green one

{121} UGO | Los Angeles

Pesto Gnocchi 

It was VERY pretty! Intensely green when it came out.

Ate in LA with Chris & Tina. Chris had to give a ride for his sister so I tagged along 

The gnocchi was handmade (supposedly) and it was very chewy, soft, loads of goodness.

But each bite was quite concentrated with flavor and dough.

{116} Iced Drink Fix

Getting a drink at Starbucks before lab since I was falling asleep during lecture.

Coffee does not even wake me up, though.

{116} Hog Island

More beautiful weather and happy hour seafood at the Ferry Building with the family

{115} Spicy

Chilies! It caught my attention from afar.

The car's window is dirty though

{115} Passion Cafe

Lunch with my dad and bro on a rooftop on a beautiful day. Loving the "heat wave" (actually normal everyday temperature in Socal)

{115} Cozy Up

This is what I want to do, go to a tea lounge or coffee shop and just comfortably read--and NOT for anatomy!

A cheesecake factory favorite....
