This guy…
BFFiHK aka Mister EugeneKan.com was trying to be slick about sending me a package by asking for my address and later on asking if I had received any packages in the mail (I’m pretty sure he was only sending me something because I sent him a care package in December). Haha So on Thursday night I came home to a package waiting for me at my doorstep. I noticed the return address being in LA and I sat there wondering what the hell it was that he sent me.
Eugene knows how busy my schedule is and he definitely knows that I don’t eat healthy. Having favorite foods like fried chicken and mashed potatoes are hard to give up…and especially my love for CARBS! If you know Eugene he’s kind of a health nut and sends me articles on how almonds keep you lean (which btw I’ve been eating). So he thought this would be appropriate for me especially since I’ve been going to the gym again and I’m always on the go.
I’ve never heard of anything like this and I think it’s awesome that I can create my own nutrition bars with ingredients THAT I LIKE! The way it works is I get to choose between different ingredients for the base, protein powders, nut/seeds, dried fruits and berries, sweeteners, seasonings, chocolates, and other tasty additions along with grains/cereals, and infusions. I even get to pick a name for my nutrition bar! Once I create it, I use my certificate and they’ll send me a box of MY nutrition bar.
I got to talk to Eugene that night and he told me what ingredients he would’ve put in it. I don’t think it would’ve been disgusting…but it didn’t have chocolate chips in it…which is the first ingredient that I will choose. Hahaha
The package also came with six bars that I can taste. The first one I ate was a Cashew and Honey bar which was pretty good. The second one was a breakfast bar which I wasn’t too fond of. Haha
I haven’t created my nutrition bar yet, but when I do I’ll be sure to post my ingredients.
Now to think of a clever name for it…
BTW, thanks BFFiHK for the gift!
Valentine’s Day
I’m not sure how I feel about “Love Day” aka Valentine’s Day. I only have three memorable Valentine’s Days. The first one was when I was a sophomore in high school. I was at work when my friend showed up with a card that he drew himself, along with a poem and rose. The second was when I was a senior and another friend from a different high school showed up to my track practice with a dozen roses, chocolate, a cd mix, and a teddy bear (the sweetest ever!). And the last one I remember was when the Jordan XII’s got rereleased and my exbf gave me a card that said “Happy Valentine’s Day!” except the word “Valentine’s Day” was crossed out and substituted with “Jordan Day”.
I’m kind of torn about this “holiday”. Sure I’d love to spend it with someone that I like but I wouldn’t want to spend it with someone just because they asked me. Instead, I’d rather be in the presence of other friends that are single or even friends and family that I love. I was lucky enough to be with close friends last year and attended Pillow Fight in San Francisco. This year I’m most likely going to be with family, celebrating Chinese New Year. After New Years dinner, find me at the movies watching Valentine’s Day w/ a bag of popcorn and a white cherry icee.
I like the fact of celebrating love with the people in your life that you love (even though you should technically be showing that everyday), but sometimes you just wish you had someone to share it with.
I don’t hate Valentine’s Day. But I don’t love it either.
Pocky vs. Yan-Yan
My girl Regina aka Reg aka RRRRé-Heeeee (roll the R’s) is one of my closest friends in the whole wide world. So close, my mom once introduced her as my “special” friend. And for those of you that don’t know…my mom once called my brother-in-law my sister’s “special” friend. So you get the picture, but it’s not like that. Lol
And since Regina left a comment on my last post to post more often (which by the way I know I haven’t been posting, but I’ve been pretty busy), I’ve decided to dedicate this post to her.
A few years ago we were hanging out and we were probably on the way home from eating when we started a discussion about why Pocky was better than Yan-Yan and vice versa. I was for Pocky because you don’t have to fuss with getting chocolate everywhere OR running out of chocolate! Reg for Yan-Yan because you’re not skimped on chocolate and you can put as much as you want. So we took a poll. While in the car…we started calling all our friends and whoever got to 11 votes first won. Or was it 21 votes? Anyways, something like that.
Well…to be honest Yan-Yan won the votes. BUT it wasn’t the REAL winner. A friend called us back and said that she actually preferred Hello Panda. HELLO PANDA?! Why didn’t we think of that?! HANDS DOWN THE WINNER. No fuss about chocolate or biting into a stick. Just pop it in your mouth and your mouth is filled with chocolate and short bread crackers. YUM.
So we both lose.
(this picture is hella old…)
So which one do you prefer?

From January 15th-31st you have the chance to try over 100 restaurants in San Francisco for only $35 for a three course dinner and $18 for a two course lunch. With prefixed menus, it gives you an opportunity to try high end restaurants for a lower price. Perfect time to go on dates!

The Holidays
Hope everyone had a good holiday break! Luckily I’m still on break from school because all the holiday festivities wore me out! These are just some pics I took over the holidays.
The MADE ladies.
Out with Abi.
I bought my bro Star Wars Kubrick collectables. Those were kind of expensive for small little figures but I think they’re dope.
Christmas Brunch.
All these presents and majority of them are for these little munchkins…
My little cousin has way too many stuffed animals, my brother can swim in them.

Do You Remember: The First Time You Fell In Love?
I’m not one to express my feelings on a personal level, other than rants on stupid ass drivers, but this one’s been making me think. Whenever someone asks me “Are you seeing anyone?” or “Any love interests?” my answer is automatically “No.” (Although to a couple of you I’m lying. LOL.) But for some reason the question makes me think about the first time I fell in love. This story might sound dumb but for me it was the only time I ever felt this way.
I was young…okay, VERY young. Middle school to be exact, back when AOL just came out and everyone was in chat rooms like “bAy ArEa AzNs” (Yes I said it and yes I was on there.) Everyone’s screen name started with AZN and kids like me learned a little about HTML codes to customize our homepages. With just typing in “a/s/l” it was easy to make friends online. And best believe I did! I was in 8th grade during the time and there were “regulars” in the chat rooms. A lot of us became friends and I started talking to this one boy on the phone. He was my age and went to a private school in San Francisco. The first day he called me I swear we just clicked. Time went by and before we knew it 2 hours had passed. I was sitting on my kitchen floor for 2 hours talking to this dude? He easily became my best friend and we started talking every day. We would talk about everything and anything. We finally sent each other pictures and he was cute. Not the cutest guy ever but was still cute and had a baby face. It finally hit me one night where I knew for a fact he had feelings for me and vice versa. We both knew it. Nothing had to be said. The first time he said “I love you” he was so nervous that he cried after saying it. Not balling out crying…but a few tears and sniffles, basically enough for me to notice. I know I know…kind of weird but it showed how nervous he was to say it. I didn’t have an easier time saying it back to him either. Okay, maybe it was a little easier for me to say it since he said it first…and cried. But still, I had never been so nervous, excited, and happy to say those three words.
It was definitely young love, but I’ve never had that feeling of falling in love with my best friend. There are reasons why it didn’t work out. Mainly because I never saw the guy in person and it would be hard seeing each other w/o meeting up at the mall and bopping it. We actually saw each other once during high school but we probably would’ve drifted apart too. I went through some phases during high school. Lol
I firmly believe that the person you end up with should be your best friend because in the end it’s not about looks or attractiveness but the friendship and bond you have. Like in the movie UP…I swear that movie mad me CRY.
Ok that’s all. Bye.
