Hm...went out with someone and thought it's not what I thought...
First of all, this dude was late, strike one. When he showed up he looked a bit different compared to his picture, he aged so much... I was a bit turned off but I was like whatever, just give it a try, looks doesn't matter too much. The tone when he asked if I was hungry kind of creeped me out a bit... (like no, not anymore...)
Oh and he said how his job is flexible so he is always late. I'm like...wow! Just because it's flexible doesn't mean you should be late all the time. No wonder he was late to meet up. He thinks that is ok? I don't think he is ok...
In the beginning it felt ok but during the talk I was like...what is he talking about, I don't understand. But obviously I'll have my lovely smile on like yea, I totally understand you... not... I had
stuff I wanted to ask but I didn't want to ask anymore. And I asked if he wanted some fries and he didn't even ask if I wanted one damn shrimp from his large plate. What a guy!? He seems like a selfish person.
Strike two, I can't
believe he didn't offer to pay (cheap!). I read online if he is a good guy and he isn't interested he will still pay. Obviously he ain't a gentlemen, just another a**hole out there. Funny thing was when the waiter gave us the bill, he asked him if he needs the card machine (he thought that a**hole would be paying) and he said "yes". I had my wallet out and the waiter asked "together"? He said "separate'. I think the waiter was like thinking, girl, this guy isn't worth it, you deserve someone way better than this cheap a**. I'm sure this waiter have seen numerous people on dates lol.
My friend said "maybe that's why he transits" (I'm not against people that transit but I would like an ideal guy to be able to drive me around), I asked if he drives, he paused... He said "yea, just not to work but I don't really need the car to get around". Um...it's Canada, it's hard to get around without a car. My friend said "does he want the girl to transit with him on every date?". Don't know and don't care.
Strike three, he didn't walk me back to the mall, he just said "I'm meeting a friend across the street". Wow, that was one crappy date ever. I wish that cheap a**hole good luck in finding a girl. That girl is gonna suffer pretty bad with him. I wish I can tell all the girls out there who this a**hole is but I won't do that.
Oh, this part made my friends laughed. I feel like I got scammed! How? Well, he listed on his profile that he is a gym rat and I was thinking hmm...he must be quite fit, muscular with a 6 pack. IRL...are you sure you are a gym rat? You don't look fit at all, no offense. I asked "how often do you go to the gym"? He said "I try to do 2 times a week". Um...to me a gym rat goes to the gym at least 5 days a week. Like don't list yourself as a gym rat if you don't go at least 5 times a week yo! I was freaking scammed!
But when we messaged I
kind of knew he isn't that interested and he doesn't make me happy. I
guess it's the difference between meeting people IRL and online. The
other dudes I met IRL so they have a feeling of who I really am??? They
would constantly message me. Maybe it's time to quit this thing. Or I'll just continue so I can keep my blog interesting. I'll see how it goes. NEXT!
I think you people might like the next one in a good way. =)

Lotus Restaurant Review
I'm running out of places to eat. Decided to try this place because I've never been here before. I believe my friends have.
It's ok size in there. A bit dark but when we are at the table, there is this super bright light. Service was ok but they gave my friend the wrong noodle.
There were quite a few people in there when I arrived and then it got busier.
Anyways, I ordered pho dac biet ($9.50), I don't remember what friends ordered. I remember one was pho bo kho ($10.50).
I normally don't eat beef but I decided to order one with lots of beef. The beef was not bad, not overly cooked, chewable. The tendon and tripe was easy to chew as well. The soup was good, not too salty. I always like pho noodle so it's good.
Yes, I'll come again. Not a bad place. Lots of choice.
If you pay card, you have to pay at the counter, maybe they should invest in portable ones?

Bee Blu
I ran out of Bee Blu combinations and too lazy to figure out new ones. I will start calling it the above with numbers from now on.
I found out from my friend that this guy who I met a long time ago passed away. I wasn't close with him but when I met him he was super nice. He tries to talk to me, asked me for my FB, and treated me too. I think he was interested but I wasn't. Great guy though. RIP.
Man, that little boy came again and scared the s*** out of me. I hate it when people come from behind and all of a sudden starts talking. Sometimes coworkers scare me too. I think I'll have a heart attack if I'm an old lady and still working there... Coworker was complaining how that kid was annoying. Yup...
Line from drama, "There are a lot of stuff I thought I let go of but no. Its very very hard to meet the right person at the right time. I told you that I like you at the wrong time. Even if it's the right person, it's wrong. But now it's different, nothing can stop us. It's the right time so all the feelings are coming back out. I won't miss this chance".
Watched "Girls Trip" and I really like how 4 friends go on trips and get crazy. I go on trips with my gals but none of us are crazy. I want to play scary stuff but my friends are scared lol. Like stuff involved with height, etc. Nothing too crazy. I like how the friends supported one another during bad times although they did have fights but they were ok again.
OMG, I was looking around at some news and one title said this dog was abandoned and tied up and he bite his own leg off before someone saved him. My heart was hurting and I felt like crying. =( Not posting it, don't even want to click in and read, I might cry...
These women with facial hair are sharing their stories
There are so much unwanted things that happen in life, nothing much we can do except live with it. I don't think I can be as brave as these girls if I had the same problem.
A tourist spotted a 'sexy' kangaroo in Australia and the internet can't stop laughing at its weirdly seductive pose
Little princess makes sexy poses sometimes too hehe.
Sorry no out of the blue. I got a bit busy and totally forgot to put a song in.

Secret Shopper
Work needed people as secret shoppers so I recommended my family. At first I wasn't gonna join my family because the dealers might recognize me but don't think so. I don't think anyone cares about me because I usually hide from those dealers when they are here. Even boss said don't think they will.
I've always wanted to try secret shopper, but for restaurants. I love eating, and for most of my reviews I do talk about the restaurant's service and everything. The only thing I can't do is get pissed off or make a big fuss about something. I'm too "soft" for that stuff.
I thought I did ok as a shopper. I was super calm and acted stupid (as usual). The people that were helping us, I don't think I have seen them before which is good.
It was an interesting experience, I was hoping I can learn something new from them but nope.
I would do it again but it's very tiring. I was so drained from it and had to nap when I got home.

Chickpea Restaurant Review
A friend picked this vegan restaurant. When we got in there it was packed with people and we had to wait outside. We waited for maybe 10-15 minutes? The people before us gave up on their table so we got to get in early or we would have to wait even longer.
The service was good, they were really nice. However, one of the hostess dipped some of my friend's drink on her new cellphone. We were all =O. And the girl said "that's why I'm a hostess and not a waitress". Interesting...
The names on the menu are a bit hard to say and I really like their menus. It was put together with an actual children book. I thought that was really cool, it's like reusing the book.Yup, Mister got to go.
Anyways, I ordered the Shakshuka pita ($10.50). My friends ordered the Kasum platter ($16), Shnitelonim hummus plate ($15), Spiked Limonana with Vodka ($10) and a Lumberjack Baklava ($9) to share.
My pita was pretty good. On the top there were vegan sausages, the texture was a bit different compared to normal sausages. It had a rougher texture, maybe made with bean curd, and it was spicy. The red part, carrot and other veggie was spicy as well, it gets spicier. The green part, salad greens, didn't have much taste. On the very bottom, there were a bit of hummus. The pita, it was soft on one side and crunchy on the other side. I really like how this whole pita reminds me of Indian food, and I really like the spices in Indian food, very good.
I tried a fried cauliflower and chick pea fries from the Kasum. The cauliflower wasn't crispy because it was at the very bottom and there were sauce on top of it but it's not bad. The chick pea fries, I think I like normal fries better. I mean it's not bad but I didn't really like that rough texture I guess I'm used the normal fries with crispy outside and a soft inside? It did look like normal fries but thicker in size.
I tried a tofu and some hummus from Shnitelonim. The tofu was very firm, it was really good with the hummus. I like the spices in that hummus.
The Spiked Limonana, when I smelled it, it had a very refreshing smell. When I took a sip, it tasted very fresh and minty. I couldn't really taste any vodka, which is good because I don't drink.
The Lumberjack Baklava, it was pretty sweet, I was ok with it because I can eat pretty sweet. The walnut ice cream was really good, it had a banana taste for some reason and it was interesting. The baklava, it was a pastry thing, it was interesting and very sweet. I'm not sure how to describe the flavour and texture, the inside has a bites and pieces texture? I like that warm and cold feeling from this dessert.
Overall, I really like the food, it was really good. Yes, I would come back again if someone drives me because I don't know how to get to that part of town.

Networking Experience II
My networking journey continues.
I find some of the people on there a bit too eager. I talked to someone for 2 days and it felt like we didn't really talk much (like 3-4 lines) and he asked me to call him because he doesn't like typing...Um...I don't give out my number easily, and I hardly know you. I actually searched his number up and I see these comments from few years ago saying creeper and stuff. That made me hesitated a bit, should I even continue talking to this guy?
Then 1-2 days later he asked if I want to talk on the phone or meet up. I was actually scared after all those comments. I told him sure, gave him a date that was 2 weeks away. He said I plan so far ahead and he doesn't know if he will be free that day. Then he disappeared like dust. I guess he was just looking for you know what. I always plan things way ahead of time, and it's that far in advance why can't you just book that day? If you are really interested you will make time for me. Or at least suggest another day. If you are not serious, don't bother me. Go find some slut out there. Before he ghosted I told him how I felt and he asked me after a bit to talk on phone again. Like why are you pushing me to do things I don't wanna do when I've told you why.
One comment, he was really good looking lol! I was tempted to meet (don't know if I'll miss a chance) but then his actions kind of scared me off. Plus, good looking guys aren't always good. They know they can use their looks to get lots of girls... There were few good looking guys that messaged me and I was reading their profile and it showed they were just looking for you know what. Well, you are looking for the wrong person. I will never reply to you although you are good looking. One good looking guy in my life once was good enough. I don't mind another one but let it be.
This networking is making me very tired. It's not as fun as my friends said... Can I just find someone and stop playing this? Please! It's tiring and it's not making me smile like I hoped.
The post was getting too long so I decided to make another post. Keep reading, I think you guys will like the next one, I made a few friends laugh already. =)

Crackle Creme Review
I've always wanted to try this place but never got a chance. My friend suggested it so we went. I've always wanted to get their character macarons but I've got those from another place before so don't want to spend anymore money on those. This place is known for their crème brulee.
They had a lot of flavours to choose from. I was gonna get take out for the family but I wanted to see if it's good first before spending more money.
The girl was nice but she had a really soft voice so I couldn't really hear her. I guess she is just like me.
We got the matcha and honey lavender crème brulee ($5).
The matcha, I thought it was just ok. I thought it didn't have a strong matcha taste and I was hoping for it to be a firmer crème brulee. But it was very creamy and I like the caramelized sugar on top. It was stuck to my teeth though.
I guess there are different types of crème brulee, there are ones like egg or caramel custard texture and this kind of texture.
At the end I didn't get take out although I wanted to try other flavours.
No I won't come back again, it's a nice place and their stuff aren't bad. Just not really my thing? And it's a bit far for me. My friend liked it. Everyone has different taste, you won't know till you try.

Bee Bee Blu Bee Bee
LOL! Love my manager. She saw a cute guy that gave her a propane receipt and she said you should be in there he was cute, your age too. Run after him. No, I don't chase guys, if it's meant to be it will.
Got bored and started looking at my horoscope.
"Love and social life are highlighted all year, but most strongly in the first four months. Meet many new people and be impressed by several of them." (we will see about that, so far I'm a bit disappointed)
"In January, you may encounter admirers who take you more seriously than you'd like:, hmm...
Can a guy and girl not just be friends? Does it have to be either together or don't even talk to each other? I don't know... Most of the guys I'm talking to I have no interest in them but I would want to be friends and see where it leads us to. You never know what would happen later on. I know in the end I might hurt some of them for maybe giving them hopes (by talking to them...) but that is not something I can care too much about. Who said you will 100% meet the right one? I myself don't even know if any of these dudes are serious or really interested too. Yes, I've been playing the guessing game. It's pretty much a gamble. My guesses are usually right, I don't know if that's good or bad.
Some dude indirectly bitched at me. Not going into details. That dude probably thinks I'm not a serious person but if you know me I'm 100% serious when it comes to relationships (only if I like you). Like how would you know if someone is or is not the one if you don't talk to them and answer their questions. And answering all of your questions doesn't mean I'm 100% into you. I'm just getting to know you and being nice. I did put on there looking for friends too.
He told me to be selective and don't waste my time. I don't think I'm wasting my time at all. Why do I have to be selective? Can I not meet new people, new friends? Just because I don't like you back that way, you bitch at me? I've never had a guy that bitched at me before, how dare you! What a guy! More like an a**hole! Wish you well douche bag!
My friend said "don't mess with Cin, you will be on her blog". Yea, don't if you don't want to be on here.
My phone was stolen overseas. Then I received an $89,000 phone bill
Wow, if it's me I would freak out like crazy.
No out of the blue song for this Bee Blu post, I sound like I'm ranting... =(

Why Food Pictures?
I read this post, This Restaurant Has Banned Its Patrons From Snapping Food Porn and decided to type something on it.
The reason why I take pictures of food and write reviews, it's really for my own self, keep it as a memory. I have been to numerous restaurants in my life and most of them don't exist anymore. This is one reason why I want to take pictures of the food. The place may be gone when I want to go back again. If I have a picture at least I know I have been there before and remember how good (or bad) the food and the restaurant was.
There are always new gimmicks or beautifully plated food out there nowadays. After awhile people aren't interested anymore and the restaurant/café closes down. This is one reason why I want to go try before they close down. You never know.
I know taking pictures of food can annoy some people, some people just want to eat right away. I understand and don't mind. Please let me know if that does annoy anyone. I'll just take pictures of my own food. Good thing most of my friends know I take pictures of food and I do reviews. =)
Banning food porn is a pro and con to restaurants I think. The pro would be people will focus more on their food and taste the actual flavour (I still do that if I take pictures of food or how am I gonna write about it?). They will enjoy the restaurant atmosphere more. They may have a great chat with whoever they are with or an awkward meal. If they want to ban food porn might as well ban cellphones. Then they can really focus on their food.
Con, if it's not these food porn, less people will know about the restaurant. Sometimes the look of the food attract people to go try. A lot of people these days pick restaurants based on reviews.
However, taste of food is really personal, some people might find it delicious and some might find it horrible. It depends on who made the food that day and the mood of the chef. You just have to go try it yourself.
I think that's all I wanted to say. Typed this awhile back.

Ramen Gojiro Review
I was looking around online on what to eat and I saw this place with pretty good rating.
When we got there, there was a line up outside because the place isn't that big. We waited maybe 10-15 minutes? It was freezing outside.
The service was good, the ladies were nice.
We ordered the spicy karaage ramen ($11) and the Iekei Ramen ($10.95).
The spicy karaage was alright. I got the rich broth with mild spicy, it wasn't that spicy, but medium would be too spicy. The broth was ok flavoured, it wasn't as salty as this other ramen place I have been to. There weren't too much oil in the broth. The ramen noodle looks thicker to me and it was chewy, good texture. The karaage (fried chicken) wasn't crispy to begin with and got soggy near the end. I thought the karaage could have a bit more flavour to it.
I thought the portion was not bad but I thought the Iekei looked a bit smaller than the spicy karaage.
Overall, I thought it was just ok. I guess I've tried better ramen? No, don't think I'll come back again but not a bad place to try.

The service was good, the ladies were nice.
We ordered the spicy karaage ramen ($11) and the Iekei Ramen ($10.95).
The spicy karaage was alright. I got the rich broth with mild spicy, it wasn't that spicy, but medium would be too spicy. The broth was ok flavoured, it wasn't as salty as this other ramen place I have been to. There weren't too much oil in the broth. The ramen noodle looks thicker to me and it was chewy, good texture. The karaage (fried chicken) wasn't crispy to begin with and got soggy near the end. I thought the karaage could have a bit more flavour to it.
I thought the portion was not bad but I thought the Iekei looked a bit smaller than the spicy karaage.
Overall, I thought it was just ok. I guess I've tried better ramen? No, don't think I'll come back again but not a bad place to try.

Networking Experience
I don't want to do this but I gave it a try. Wow, online dating is much more confusing and harder than I thought. If you have been reading you should know I would talk about this but not in detail.
I got interesting messages, after like 1 day. Like "am I your cup of tea?", "want to be my gf?", "nice hair btw" etc. (LOL, wanna know what shampoo I use?) Some dudes start conversation but don't ask anything, I don't want to be the one that keeps asking questions. I don't want to be annoying or makes him think "omg she is so interested". It's because you are not asking anything! I don't want the conversation to just die. It actually makes me really bored and not interested at all. I'm also running out of questions to ask. How is it even a conversation when one side is doing all the questioning and one side doing all the answering... *roll eyes* It feels like you don't really want to know me...
Got a few dudes saying "you look pretty" or "your profile is good and you look great too". I feel like if people out there are lacking some confidence, they should try online dating, lots of random strangers will compliment you lol. Maybe they are lying but it feels good haha!
You know what's more interesting? My bestie and I bumped into this guy that she went out on a date with (long ago). How is that interesting? Um, he messaged me that same day before we bumped into him lol! Hey, it's a small world, sometimes.
Honestly, I got bored of these apps after half a day. Some guys are weird and some don't say much. I don't know what they want. I don't even know why some guys like me or message me but they don't even really show much interest afterwards. Some don't even start a conversation. So weird. Maybe just don't bother me in the first place if you are not THAT interested! I know, they are probably like "why don't you start the conversation?". I did, to two dudes (you should be happy if you are one of them lol) and I won't message anymore, I guess all I'll do is sit back and wait from now on.
There are some nice guys out there but I'm not interested. Just not physically attracted but the stuff they say are very nice. They actually want to know me as a person or wants to talk. I don't mind being friends with them just nothing more than a friend, at least not now. I know some will hate me when they find out but what happens in the future, let it be.
I was eyeing on a few dudes but I feel like no hope. I didn't even bother. I do believe that if there is fate we will meet someday. Let fate do its work.
A few of the guys that liked or messaged me are really good looking (bestie said they were hot lol! I don't really trust good looking guys anymore. I'll stick with ok looking from now on.) but I feel like I may give up on this soon... Probably go back to meeting people the old fashion way. We will see. I realized every time when I want to give up, some dudes will message or ask me to meet up. Let's see how it goes. =) I'm happy but at the same time...maybe I shouldn't be so happy just yet. Things don't come easily. I'm just afraid my happiness won't last like before... =(
More stories on Monday.

Sweet Memory Review
This was on my list for awhile but no-one really wanted to try with me and then a friends suggested so we decided to go.
I really like the décor in there but it was a tiny bit dark to me. If you know me, I like "old" stuff. They had these wooden tables and chairs that people used in the past in China. And there were red lanterns around the place. It was really nice. Their utensils were pretty vintage too.
I want to comment on their tea. I like it. When I smelled it, it's like that bubble tea scent. It turns out the tea was sweet. It's like drinking bubble tea but no add-ons. It was pretty cool. My friends thought the tea was weird because it was sweet.
Anyways, we ordered 2 hot tofu pudding ($4.25 each), and hot grass jelly dessert ($5.25).
The tofu pudding was very smooth however we thought it would be better with more sugar. I guess we are used to the Canto way where we add our own sugar and there are different types of sugar to choose from. I wanted ginger but they said they already added the sugar in it... It was pretty filling, I was so full near the end.
The grass jelly was very interesting. I've never tried hot grass jelly before, I usually eat it in the jelly form. The hot version was in liquid form and as it gets cold it forms this slimy sticky film on top. It had a stronger taste than the normal grass jelly, it had that Chinese medicine taste but not the bad kind. My friend had to take it home because she couldn't finish it. She said it formed into a jelly but a soft one not firm.
Yes, I would come back again but maybe when I'm starving. I thought the size was not bad for the price. Maybe I'll try their food next time.

Bee Bee Blu Bee Bee
Hm...I haven't seen this technician for so long (thought he quit) and I was actually really happy to see him... I know I don't like him that way but I think he is just really nice to me. Other technicians don't really talk to me, I don't even think they know my name, he does.
I was watching this show where 4 actors became good friends after filming and they went on a trip together. It was pretty funny. I like how they say things about each other and joke it off. You can't do that with girls, girls will take it to heart even if it's a joke. That's why girls are best at gossiping about other people lol.
I watched another show, second part of a drama but it's not a drama this time. All about making decisions in life. One line that I really like "dancing by yourself may give other people a lonely feeling. That's why every dancer hopes to find a compatible partner. Life and dancing is the same, everyone wants to find someone. Even if they are not on the same pace, they will continue each and every step, helping each other until the love dance is over".
"Human will only realize something after experiencing something", so true. That's when you find out what to keep or not to keep in your life.
Watched a drama at work and it made me tear. Two people found out they were siblings and can't be together and how they think about every single happy moment that they been through together. Made me think about the tough times I went through (not the same situation). It's hard, it's really hard.
Woman with cancer marries in hospital hours before her death
Aww, would a dude say this to me too? "She needs to know she's not going to go down this road alone". Aww, looking at their first picture makes me teary.
Mothers who regret having children are speaking up like never before
I didn't finish reading it but everyone has their own stories and feelings towards different things. "having these two children is the biggest regret of her life" if my mom said that to me I would be so hurt. I watched this one variety show where the actress and her mom went on a vacation and the mom said to her "you know your dad and I didn't want you, you were an accident". I'm not even the actress and I felt like crying after hearing that. To women out there, if you don't want kids, don't. I know kids are not easy to handle sometimes, if you really can't, don't have any please.
Out of the blue, I heard this song from a drama and I like it. Hm...would you want someone to lie to you or say goodbye? Who would want to hear the word goodbye from someone they like but I think it's better than lies. 長痛不如短痛, I hope those are the right words. I like how the mom in the drama said "you are not gonna die without a man!". So true!

I didn't think so
Don't say goodbye
When you don't have to go
I'd rather hear lies
Than what I need to know
See you later would suit me fine
You can use that one anytime
Tell me anything that you like
But don't say goodbye
Please just say something nice to me
You can decide what it'll be
Just do one thing for me please
Don't say goodbye"

Life Without a Cellphone II
Yes, life without my cellphone again! It's not my first time leaving my phone at work. What do people do nowadays without a cellphone?
Man, what an experience. I was meeting up with a friend and I left my phone at work. I didn't realize until I was at the skytrain station. I was thinking, great, how are we gonna find each other now? I don't remember her number and that station connects to the mall. What if she isn't at the station entrance area?
When I got there I couldn't find her. I was panicking. Good thing I had my tablet with me. I e-mailed her but I thought, what if she doesn't check her e-mail like me? I only check them in the mornings. (Turns out she doesn't even use that e-mail anymore...)
Then I thought what about FB message? I thought but she doesn't go on FB like me. (Turns out she use FB messenger just not FB...) So I messaged my brother to look in my phone book at home. Good thing I still keep a phone book, just not with me... Just when I got the number, my friend showed up right infront of me. OMG! Thank you!
I told her I left my phone so I was trying to find ways to contact her. She said "yea, I thought that was strange, you didn't reply me but you said you will meet at a specific time and it was already 20 minutes past that time". She was standing away from the station because it was too cold and she decided to go check the mall, maybe I was in there. Good thing she came in!
Honestly if I couldn't find her, I don't know what to do except go home and call her and apologize. She said she was thinking if she should go home after a bit too. She also said even if I got her number, how will I call her. I said "find a pay phone or customer service". She said "I don't even know if there are pay phones nowadays". I'm sure there are but maybe like 1 or 2 left. I'm sure there are kind people out there that would let me use their phone...maybe...but it's hard to trust people nowadays. I don't think I would lend my cellphone to strangers, they may run away with it. If I was at work, I would lend them the work phone. I don't think they would want to steal that. Right?
Well, that was my "fun" part of the day.
After that I decided to have a plan B. If you people don't see me after a certain time and I'm not replying, just meet at the restaurant or wherever we decide on. I normally reply people asap and if I'm late I will for sure let them know. If I don't say anything, there got to be something wrong. Make sure to stand somewhere that makes you noticeable.
Seriously, how do people find each other without a cellphone? Who remembers phone numbers nowadays? Should we just do things the old fashion way? Memorize phone numbers, keep a phone book? No clue.

Smokehouse Sandwich Co Review
I've always wanted to try this place because I saw their charcoal bun sandwich which I thought it was cool and reviews were not bad.
When I parked my car it was empty inside. When I was waiting for my friend to come, more and more people went inside... Wasn't sure if those people would take up all the spots.
I asked the lady about the different buns and they don't have the charcoal bun, so disappointed and no high fibre as well... I came here mainly because of the charcoal bun.
I ordered the billie (pork belly $9.99) and my friend ordered the luigi (mushroom) with pork belly ($9.99 plus more for the meat, don't know how much).
I thought it was pretty good, it had a tangy taste to it and it was mainly from the tomatoe in the salsa. Not a lot of meat taste but the whole thing together was good. I love pork belly. The bun was very crispy, reminds me of those Viet subs.
The portion was ok but I didn't get that super full feeling from it.
Yes I would come back again but only for their charcoal bun.

Wild Sweet Review IV
Yes 4th one. I saw their site with new cakes for Christmas so I decided to try.
I got the Buche de Noel ($23.99).
It looked really pretty but the leafs kinda fell off so I had to stick it back on for the photo.
The inside and taste are very similar to the cakes I have tried from them before. It had different texture for every layer. The first layer was a chocolate mousse then a harder fudge like chocolate then a crunchy ish layer of cake, batter thing. That crunchy layer had a buttery taste to it.
I thought it tasted good, not very sweet but kind of filling. Enough chocolate flavours.
Don't eat it too late at night because my parents couldn't sleep that night...
Yes, if they have new stuff I will keep trying. The picture on my IG looks better.

Boss asked "will you ever let me treat you lunch?". LOL! I don't just let anyone treat me. Plus they eat way too late. I'm liked starving at like 10 something.
Boss said I sound quiet on the phone again. I think I need to take some yelling courses or something. I'll try to speak up, I honestly can't.

Things have been happening and I feel like my forehead has been "stamped" with "bad person". Oh well, I'm always the "bad person" in every case, might as well for this one and whatever that is ahead of me.
Lines from drama, I feel like the drama is talking to me when I was hit by the above problem. "Just pretend this time is a big wave that hit you really hard in the face and woke you up" "Does your heart hurt really bad? Good, remember this pain, you did what you had to do" "Don't think too much, if you treasure whatever relationship that is, if your heart wants then continue on until the end. If it can't go on then let it disappear."
Thank you drama.
I know many years ago when I was still a little kid, people at the gas staton would help you clean the windshield and rear window. Then years later they stop offering and it's more like do it yourself kind of thing. I dont know why but people at the gas station actually helped me do it without me asking them to (2 times so far). Maybe I was being polite and nice to them and my car is super dirty lol. I felt a bit bad because they didnt have to do that. I kept thanking them.
This model lost a leg because of an infection from tampons. Here's what she wants you to know
Wow...so what is safe in this world...?
'Selfitis' - an addiction to taking selfies - could be a real condition, say psychologists
Good thing I don't fall into any of those categories. I don't even take pictures of myself, only if I go on vacation. Remember I said I cover the camera on my tablets and cellphones, yea...
Out of the blue, song is ok but the lyrics are pretty good, at least for this post.
鍾嘉欣 Linda - I Promise
"Sometimes it's not great but hey
Morning brings a brand new day
Life is rarely black and white
Words set from the left to right
Tired and worn and
Scratched and torn
Still, I’m yours to hold
We are greater than our sum of parts
Together we’re a work of art
In love we’ll laugh and sometimes cry
Be brave and be honest
The ups chase away the downs
We smile when we ought to frown
Poetry won’t always rhyme,
Like love it’s just a test of time
You are rich with a heart of gold
You’re funny though your jokes are old
Together we can
Touch the moon If we try
Sometimes the sweetest smile
Can come from a sigh"

Change to Impress?
I was talking to my cousin and she wanted to see what the guys that I was introduced to looked like. I actually forgot all their names. I said "it means I wasn't into them". Sorry.
Then my cousin kind of made me feel horrible. She said "you should change yourself to attract guys. Get rid of your bangs and glasses (I love my bangs, I like my kid look. I don't want glasses but no cons go that high and they are expensive). You should wear heels (I'm tall and they are painful). Why are you not changing anything? If you don't you can't catch their attention. If you want them to see your inner beauty, you need to attract them with your outer beauty first. There are tons of nice girls out there (that's not true, a lot of them are evil), why would a good looking rich guy go for you?". I'm just like...........................................thanks...
Yes, I know she is doing this for my own good and yes, I know people always look at outer first, including myself (you too, don't lie lol!). But what she said made me feel like I look like crap... I think I look fine. Yes, I know I'm not pretty but who doesn't want to be, I think I'm ok looking. I like my "cute" style, I like being a kid, if dudes out there don't, then DON'T! Go find some hot sluty chicks, don't waste my time.
Yes, I can change myself into someone unrecognizable just to impress some dudes out there but after awhile of knowing me I'm just gonna go back to that normal girl look. Some dudes out there will probably leave me if I go back to my normal self so why not be myself in the beginning? I have nothing to hide (except those fat meat). I am who I am. Like me or hate me! If they care that much about outer than I'm not the girl they are looking for. Don't even bother me.
That's not true, I can't catch dudes' attention, I caught quite a few but just not meant to be. And I caught a good looking bad a** attention so I'm 100% sure I'll catch some good looking good a** out there again (doesn't have to be good looking, just ok to look at for the rest of my life). If I don't then whatever. If it's meant for me to have in my life then it's meant to be, if it isn't, there is nothing I can do about it except live with it. Agree?
I will not change myself to impress anyone. I will only change myself to become a better person. I'm gonna look as normal as I can when I meet people. If you think I'm that bad, please poke your own eyes out.

Sushi House Review
I've never been to this place before and I think it has been here for awhile. One of my bestie picked this place for her early birthday dinner. When I got there, there was only one person sitting at a table. Then a few people came in. Some people ordered take out. Its not very big in there.
Anyways, I ordered the Samurai roll ($9.95). I believed the besties ordered the oyako don ($8.50), Cali combo ($9.25) and BBQ Ika ($8.95).
Samurai roll, I like it, it had a soft and crispy texture. It was spicy, at first it's ok and then it gets spicier but I could still handle it.
The don was ok, some part of the rice had no taste I guess because my bestie didn't stir it. But the flavour was not bad. Chicken was soft.
The California roll were like normal cali rolls.
The squid, it's ok, easy to chew. Sometimes it's impossible to chew them. It would be nice with more sauce.
I think I would go again, it's a nice place to sit and chill, nice and quiet. We were the loud ones. =)

Work Party
I feel like I'm going to a wedding, so dressed up... So not me.
Manager liked my green dress. I thought I was ok in it too. I've never tried a green dress before. Boss said I'm so Christmas looking. Red coat green dress hehe.
I decided not to help out in the kitchen this year. I'm tired from working all day plus I'm wearing a dress. The chef seem so rush so I'll just sit and relax and he can order his students to help. I think I'll fail as a sous chef because I hate being ordered around. Don't tell me what to do. And I love making my food slowly so I'll probably be fired lol.
One of the student chef is ok looking but looks young and I think shorter? Oh well, at least I get some eye candy hehe. Don't get that stuff very often. I think I look ok young, every year I feel like I'm a part of the students. Forever 19... =)
An ex coworker came to the party and she said I gained weight. =O I wasn't mad but that pushes me to work even harder to lose weight. I don't think I gained much weight. I think it's the dress, it was tight near the tummy area so it makes my upper body looking huge so I look fat? And I haven't been exercising much but I've been pigging out non stop... Must work on it!
Apparently that ex coworker said to this coworker that his tummy got bigger and she said to a** he needs a bra LOL! I've heard stories about her saying to everyone that they are fat. I would never say such a thing to people even they are on the big side because I know how it feels and it's not easy to lose weight. (I will say that about people I dislike or when it's a big change) I guess she has never been fat so she doesn't know how people feel. Sometimes it can be hurtful.
And no, I didn't meet prince charming that night, horoscope lied! (as always) Didn't really meet anyone and a lot of them seem shorter than me (I was wearing flats too, not heels...). Whatever, didn't expect to meet anyone anyways, just not that lucky. And I know most are much older and taken. What to do without manager next year. =(

Yandoux Patisserie Review
My brother bought sweets again, thank you! I typed everything before looking online to find information on the cake names and prices.
Green tea opera ($6.10, I think), very interesting. The first layer was marshmallow with some matcha flavour, Then it's a layer of green tea mousse or chocolate, I like it, it's so matcha, it had a minty fresh flavour to me. The 3 layers of cake at the bottom were different flavours too. The cake texture wasn't as soft. It's a bit hard to eat all the layers together because the marshmallow was a bit hard to cut into and falls off.
The white one, blue diamond ($6.10), couldn't see the full name from pictures online. It is a white chocolate passionfruit cake I think, at least that what I tasted. The white part is some kind of white chocolate I think and the yellow is obviously passionfruit, sour ish but not overly sour. The cake at the bottom had a texture to it, I'm not sure what those little bites are but not really something I like. I prefer a smooth cake with no texture.
I like the passionfruit one better because I like that sour passionfruit taste, so good.
Will I go to their place to try again, maybe, if I ever pass by, it's in Yaletown I think. Their cakes all like very pretty but very pricey.
