"T'was the night before Valentine's" XD

HELLO! =D

So~ like always~ I planned to blog this entry earlier~ but since I have not uploaded the photos, I decided to blog about this today instead XD. Anyways~ t'was just going to be another regular day [oh...for all those who almost forgot like I did, the 14th of February IS a.k.a St. Valentine's Day] I decided to indulge myself with a 'Serendipity' movie night at home~ Ah~ It was BRILLIANT ... Oh~ in case I need to remind any of you out there what movie I'm referring to, here's a reference [NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED! XD]



I swear there's something about this ... hmm .. somewhat conspicuous idea of "DESTINY" of a movie makes it simple and somewhat ... silly to some people ... but SERIOUSLY ... this movie holds more meaning and so much more~ like...seriously..so MUCH MORE, making it ... "as I might have stated before ... wat was it...Ah .. yes.... BRILLIANT" hahaha and no...I'm not just referring to the already BRILLIANT CAST of John Cusack and of course...need I really mention her name? KATE BECKINSALE...yes...ah...that beautiful English accent and fair skin and the freckles of Cassiopeia~ haha XD .*charmed*.

Anyways~ I decided not to spoil the story for all those poor restless souls out there who have not seen it...but SERIOUSLY~ I ENCOURAGE YOU! no  no .... I ORDER YOU!! to watch this movie. Brilliant script, brilliant characters, brilliant in so many ways, yet not in an overly sophisticated way~ so, IF somehow you actually think this is gonna be too intense like ... "INCEPTION" kind of intense, you are wrong~ [don't get me wrong..it's a BRILLIANT movie too] and if you think this is a silly love movie like erm...I don't know...I can't think of one on the spot right now, think again~ it's your modern day 'Sleepless in Seattle'! [ah yes...another one of my classic favorites~] =D


Anyways~ now that the more important discussion is over~ thought I'd get to another highlight of my wonderful Sunday evening delight~ I HAD PHO!!! To those of you who aren't familiar with the term PHO~ it is a delightful Vietnamese dish~ it is what most people more familiar with as a "noodle soup"~

Observe the following:

Before serving

Served~


I have lost count of when was the last time I had Pho....back when I hailed in good ol' FREEZING COLD Minnesota, anyone can find Pho around every corner of a street...yes...it was THAT common there, and thus, u can only expect the very best...I gotta say ... I was slightly disappointed since I had better expectations, but hey! I'm grateful and it was PHO! I haven't had for almost one and a half year now!! so yes~ there you have it~ my wonderful simple and relaxing Sunday evening~ in a nutshell~ =]

Belated news on my previous !Friday Adventure!

Hello my readers!! [not much yet at this point..] Anyways! TO MY FRIENDS! haha ^____^ =]

So! Haven't been updating, but Last Friday! [YAY! T.G.I.F!! XD]

Anyways~ LAST FRIDAY~ went on a lunch outing with Mommy dearest [who works hard at what she does best...yes...cooking....on that note...she kicks so much ass in the kitchen it's just not fair for all the other Moms out there ;p] [Anyways~ decided to take her out of the Kitchen this time around and treat her to somethin nice =D]. We went to this Japanese restaurant that I haven't been to~ =D hmm...gotta say that the food was very good~ =D Hmm...I'm not sure if I should be doing any form of promoting here...but o well! It's my first post about foods I had! so yes! Went out to eat at Tokigawa! ... wait..Takigawa? no no .. Tokigawa~ XD [Author's note (that would be me...XD): We don't usually eat fancy foods...but she deserves a break! =D It is almost Chinese New Years after all...and she's been at it in the kitchen like crazy XD so...yeah...just wanna get this straight...not like I eat fancy all the time nor am I trying to brag about eating fancy foods...Oh! speaking of foods! I guess I will make a "Food for...AWESOME thoughts" blog! XD =]]

So~ without further ado~ for your viewing and salivating pleasure~

We had:
Chawan Mushi,
Nabeyaki Udon, and
a Gomoku Kamenashi! [Don't ask me what that means...it didn't give me an actual translation of what the word meant on the menu XD. Oh~ and for all you curious individuals who MIGHT not know what this is yet (like me ^__^;;) it's steamed rice with "stuff" on it~ XD like eg, salmon, shrimp, etc~]


Anyways~ in conclusion, it was good. =D and we were satisfied! Oh, and yes~ for your information, my Mom can't do "raw" foods~ so yes~ she's not the biggest fan of sushi~ so~ for all you readers out there with similar problems [hmm although I don't really come across people who dislike sushi these days...] try ordering these dishes~ =D


ALRIGHT! Now! Onto the next topic! *psyched!*

Erm...Here's another fact about me~ I'm into fashion [WHOA! XD]. Haven't really treat myself to any actual shopping for myself lately...so today was definitely refreshing....! Saw a few sales here and there~ and did some ACTUAL shopping! =D [yay for me~ >___< XD] [Hmm...which reminds me ... maybe I will open a blogspot for "Things I wear-and-wore" too in the near future! =D]


Well then~ that summed up my little adventure on Friday 01.28.2011~ Hope y'all had a wonderful weekend last week and a WONDERFUL one this weekend~ ^______^ =D

[Oh...and for the readers~ Yes~ I've decided to change the font style~ Yes...me like this better now...so yeah...that's pretty much it~ XD]
