november: week 1 & 2

Since November started on a Tuesday, I'm going to talk a little about the happenings of Oct 31st... Halloween. Halloween is my least favorite holiday. I've never liked dressing up so I was always at home passing out candy. This year however, I had a great time catching up with a dear friend instead! I worked in the morning until 4:30pm and then had dinner with Cat at Hakata Ramen Shin-Sen-Gumi. I seriously don't know what the fuss is about this place. The ramen is good but seriously not THAT good for there to be a line outside on a fricken Monday! AND it was quite expensive... (well now that I think about it, it wasn't as expensive as I thought being that we ordered gyoza (which were TINY) and we also ordered dessert)! I still think Foo Foo Tei is the best but at least they had creme brulee! Here's some food porn.

Tuesday and Wednesday were a blur at work. Drove down to San Diego on Nov. 3rd. We met up with some of Tony's friends at The Tractor Room and it turned out to be a pretty good/bad night lol depending on how you see it. Thank goodness both me and Tony had the day off on Friday. We grabbed Chinese food at a place near his house and then headed to the North County Mall. I wanted to check out some of the other stores there because I always just go to Forever 21. I ended up purchasing a super cute poodle sweater and another sweater since it's been getting pretty cold in LA. The other pharmacist I work with always makes fun of me for being such a chicken about the weather since I come into the pharmacy with a scarf everyday lol. After some retail therapy, it was time to grab some grub. We hung out at Kappa Sushi for the rest of the night and had a really great time.

On Saturday we had Popeye's with his parents and then it was time for me to head back to LA for my cousin's son, Austin's, 1 month birthday celebration. I had a great time celebrating with family and Austin is sooo adorable! I didn't get any pictures that night except one with my cousin (I sported my new Lunar Blue Necklace :D).

On Sunday, November 6th, I went to get dim sum in Diamond Bar with some of the LKS girls who were in SoCal for the convention and just here for rotations. After dim sum I went to check out the Forever 21 jewelry sale. I bought quite a few items and I'll show those purchases in another post.

I had a dinner date with one of my oldest friends, Christina at Foo Foo Tei to celebrate my birthday and it was absolutely delicious! We got to catch up and it's just so great to just sit and chat about how our lives have changed. Last year we were both single and decided to make a small road trip to San Diego to have some quality girl time with each other and now so many things have changed. So recently I was looking through my Facebook Newsfeeds and someone posted a picture of their kid sending a letter to Santa at Macy's for their Make-A-Wish Foundation "Believe" holiday campaign which reminded me of a little story from me and Christina's trip to San Diego. So last year I was at the Macy's in Horton Plaza in San Diego and I saw one of those mailboxes to Santa. I saw that for each letter dropped into Macy's Santa Letterbox, Macy's would make a $1donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for up to $1 million dollars and I thought, what the heck, I'll make a wish lol. So I wrote to Santa that for Christmas I wanted a boyfriend lol. It was seriously a joke but whadya know, it came true ;). So if you want to do a good deed and possibly have your Christmas wish come true, then maybe head over to your closest Macy's and see what the future might bring? :)

Monday was supposed to be my day off but I got called in to work at the 24 hour store. Cleaned my room like a crazy woman on Tuesday. I had a bunch of carpet stains I've been wanting to clean since I've moved back home (yes I realize that was over a year ago lol) and I finally bought this "Spot Shot" thing from Target and it works AMAZINGLY!! My carpet is now stain free! yay! I would highly recommend this for all kinds of stains.

On Wednesday the 9th I had a date with the bestie! I've been trying to curl my hair and Judy got the new curling wand so I decided to give it a try to see if I should get my own. It worked great so later that day we went to Target and made a killing! I now have my own Remington curling wand! It's what I used to curl my hair for my birthday brunch (pictures and post to come).

I had work on Thursday and Friday and then I got to see my boo after work! It was the start of my birthday weekend which deserves its own post :).

Love you all for reading! :)

Hope you're having a great Tuesday! 

May you all have a great rest of the week!
