Korea Town

I am in love with Yogurtland! I was down in dallas on Saturday to pick up a friend and we stop by the new Korean town to buy some groceries. K town is like a square plaza with H-Mart and other resturants and shops. I have to say, I am most impressed by Yogurtland. They have tons (ten, maybe) of yogurt-ice cream flavor available and it is all self-checked out. It is only thirty cents an ounce and you choose any many toppings you like! And there were so many toppings! I had blueberries, strawberries, granolas, almond, walnuts and I forgot. Oh, and I had blueberry, pistachos, and three other flavors I cant remember in a huge cup all for $3.19! Most impressed am I!

A similar shop in Norman, OK, is called PassionBerry. At first, I thought it was amazing, but rather expensive. After I tried Yogurtland, damn, but PassionBerry is definitely un-comparable. They only had three flavors and you can only choose a topping. Plus, the cups were S,M, or L. I realized that this is common in most ice-cream shops, that is why Yogurtland is AMAZING!

I love Mozart Bakery in K Town too. They have the most fantastic pastries that are not too sweet and the taste is heavenly. Plus, the price is reasonable. The mochi pastry is amazing. It is bread outside and sticky flour with red bean inside. I bought others but they were so-so compared to the Mochi pastry. Mozart also have great lima beans cookies and other cake/bread stuff that makes my mouth water with delight everytime I enter the store. It is like going into a frenzy.

(A month or so ago) Ah, and if that isnt enough, Omi resturant have a great Korean BBQ for only 19.99. You grill the meat in a small round griller in the middle of the table. There are like five different kinds of meat - unmarinated and unmarinted and coz it is korean, there are all kinds of side dishes for free and rice. Yes. The rice is so soft and slightly sticky. I cant but finish the whole bowl. Once you have finished a set of meat, you can always ask for more, since it is technically a buffet. But no one really does, I suppose. However, since it is a trip for us, we asked for tons more. And surprisingly, we ate it up. Well, I tried. My friend did the rest. In order not to waste food, you have to eat everything or pay a charge, which was why the waitress was shocked at four girls (three skinny) asking for more meat! I believe we were one of the last few to leave during lunch hour. Hahaha.

K Town is amazing. We can spend the whole day there, eating and buying groceries and that is good enough for us. Ah, the simple pleasures of food.

Bruise

I am scared. Apparently, a year and a half ago, I went on a canoe trip and my knee got caught in a thick tree branch. Two canoes slammed behind me and it took a long while for the canoes to row away because of the swirl of tide. I had a few huge bruises on my leg after the trip and it took a long time for it to heal.

I was telling my roommates about the canoeing bruise today, (coz I got a new bruise on my fourth finger from waitressing) and I told her that they could still spot the canoeing bruise because some area of the skin is of a darker color.

She immediately told me that SOMETHING is still wrong with it. Bruises fade completely. If my skin is still discolored, it means it has not healed! But it happened 1.5 years ago! I was terrified!

So my roommate immediately launch a rescue-mission-google-the-bruise and finally, after much harrowing heart attacks, the reason for the discolored skin tone may be of a extremely slow healing time. Well, that reason was the most "safest" answer. There were other reasons online which spelled deep trouble but I will pretend for now my world is okay.

Halloween

This is the first time I dont have enough money to pay RENT.

Wow.

Amazing.

~~~

The theme for my housemates was Batman.

L.L was Joker, CI was two-faced, J.C was penguin and I was designated catwoman. Ah, it is nice to be catwoman, but I wanted something more ... unique. I wore almost the same clothes as last year and J.C. made me a mask because I didnt have one, and I didnt want to buy one. Good thing I didnt buy one coz erm, yea, broke.

Even after graduation, I am still as poor, if not poorer than a student. This is incredibily stupid.
