december: week five

26: i was too excited to go back home. i got up at 6 am and then called the lyft too early. i had to call and ask him to wait like 5 minutes so i could throw out the garbage and make sure everything was set before i left. he was a great driver and i went through security in 30 minutes or so. i went to starbucks to get a pink drink with a breakfast sandwich. i watched my downloaded episodes of akatsuki no yona while waiting to board. i got to experience how to board southwest airlines and it was interesting. i took the closest middle seat because i was in group c and i just wanted to leave early. i checked in my bags so i just had my book bag. i continued to watch anime until we landed. southwest airlines is A+. they gave belvita crackers as their snack and came around and asked if we wanted any more. :0 i went down to claim my bags and then my brother and mom picked me up. we went straight home. i was supposed to shower and stuff but i ended up helping my mom with some things and eating.

i watched anime while waiting for hillary and daniel to pick me up so i could go shopping for my white elephant gift. i gave them their christmas gifts and daniel gave me mine, which i realized (i forgot for some reason) that i had already. he got me fire emblem birthright and $20 for revelations, but kevin and i already bought those LOL. i bought some xmas bags for my mom and then got a old spice bear-themed kit for kevin because i couldn’t resist. :P i bought a pen, pineapple, apple, pen, and cheetah print sunglasses for white elephant because why not? my brother was singing the song when i came back and i thought that would be a hilarious gift. i tried looking for a cheetah print scarf but couldn’t find any. after target, we went to mariano’s because bae wanted gelato. we ended up buying ingredients for pasta for the potluck tomorrow too. then we went to jollibee’s! it was my first time there and i just got the two piece meal without the drink. their chicken is so tender and their mashed potatoes and fries are really good too. i think i like their fries better than mcdonald’s!

we went back to daniel’s and cooked the pasta while talking and listening to music. after cleaning up, we watched daniel play ps4 games and then he drove me back because it was 9 pm and they needed to go to work tomorrow. i showered when i got home and then watched some akatsuki no yona and went to sleep. i was completely zoned out the entire day though. i don’t know how i feel about being back in chicago anymore. i just feel tired. lol, i was so tired that i was doing drunk-like things again. x__x; but i think i stayed up when i got home.

27: i watched some akatsuki no yona in the morning and then was forced to drive to meet up with jeanne and nluu. my mom didn’t want to drive me and she didn’t want me to take the bus. so i had to drive my mom’s old suv and it was a dksfndksfnsj experience. i lightly tapped our neighbor’s suv in front of us trying to pull out and then i had such a hard time parking in the parking lot lol and then we found out cafe orient was closed. so i followed nluu to this korean restaurant, which also turned out to be closed and then he pulled out and i had a huge brain fart and thought the separator wasn’t there anymore so i drove over it LOL. nothing was damaged, but nluu and jeanne were laughing so hard. i reversed off it and then we drove to evanston. we found out that 527 cafe was closed and then hoped that koco table wasn’t -- and it wasn’t! so we ate and talked for a bit. it was nice catching up with them but i just felt like a zombie. i went to crossroads with jeanne after and then drove her to the david purple line stop. then i drove myself home and finished watching my anime and wrapped my white elephant present.

hillary picked me up at around 6:10 pm and then we went to pick up jia. lol, hillary was going crazy; she had a ton of things to do today. bae got me some nice and comfy adidas slides <3 we talked with daniel on the phone while waiting for jia and then we searched for a place that sold a large bottle of corona for hillary’s white elephant gift. we got to tom’s at 7:10 pm and twas’ a happy reunion :) jia and me got jackson to come and yeah. it was nice eating and talking with everyone again. i gave vivian her gift and jia hers and they both really liked it (: yaaay! i also loved their gifts~ ashley surprised me with one and omg, i freaked because she got me some bomb af pineapple cakes. <3333 thanks, gurl! we made hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps (a good amount of it) and then started white elephant! it was fun seeing everyone’s reactions and stuff. mark got my gift and afterward, he just started eating the apple, omg haha. i stole mark’s gift from hillary, which was of course tea and a glass mug. :P

about half of the group started cleaning and headed out to pre-game at daniel’s. i said goodbye to everyone that wasn’t. hmm, i felt like we were very divided though and it made me sad. usually we just stay and talk and play stupid games. idk. :/ sigh. well, we took shots of the rest of the peppermint schnapps and met up with shen! then we lyfted to wrigleyville only to find out all the places were closed. it was a tuesday, so lol. we got some drinks before going into roscoe’s. once we hit the dance floor though, all the “upperclassmen” aka brandon, sunho, raymond, jefferson, jae and even nancy came through! lol, so this is where i became a monster and hillary was my enabler LOL. i should have gone to the dance floor but i don’t think i ever left talking to the upperclassmen. some funny things happened and i hope i will never do them again because i’m a monster LOL. hillary and i left first and then i ended up sleeping over at daniel’s. me and hillary went to sleep on daniel’s bed and then later, i think daniel came back and slept on the floor. what a night.

28: daniel drove me back home in the morning haha. haha. haha. my uncle and grandma pulled up right before us so i got to say hi to them and walk my grandma to the door before i changed and went back to sleep. i felt weak and not okay for the rest of the day. my stomach hurt a lot and i confined myself to doing everything in the bed. i got nauseous after some time trying to do a quick project, but in the end, i just couldn’t and let panorama know. T_T i’m sorry. after eating some mcdonald’s and rice, i felt a bit better. i spent the rest of the day reading akatsuki no yona online. i did get up to shower and everything because i felt super gross. idk, i just felt very disappointed in myself. it’s not like i did anything terrible, but i don’t think i want to do that ever again :/ it’s also not like “i never want to drink and go out again” but it’s more like i don’t want to be like that again because it didn’t feel like it was me. haha, i don’t know. it’s hard to explain. it was really nice hanging out and seeing everyone again though. i got to video chat with kevin for a bit and told him about my adventures so far and then i stayed up until 2 am reading. i’ve definitely reverted back to my high school self here. my stomach still hurt when i went to sleep but not as much.

29: i just didn’t feel like getting out of bed today. it’s weird being back home. i just don’t feel motivated. i stayed in bed while watching some youtube videos and finally got up at 12:30 pm. i ate leftover mcdonald’s and ginger tea for breakfast. my stomach felt better after my mom made ginger tea last night and this morning. i still felt out of it though... i went straight to facebook to figure out who i’m going to see before i fly out again. i will see chewy, which makes me happy but kathy is no longer in chicago T__T booo! i get to see hen soon though. yeah. i read akatsuki no yona the rest of the day and only went downstairs to eat. i planned to exercise today and catch up on updating my tumblr. that’s a start, right? i exercised and then showered and went to sleep. i hit the bed at around 1 or 2 am.

30: momma lee drove me to downtown after her colonoscopy lol. she’s good (: i went to sephora to return some stuff and then went to the blue line and met up with victoria at stan’s donuts. ashley was late so we sat there and talked. i got a toasted cinnamon raisin bagel and victoria got her gelato smoothie thing. when ashley got there, we headed to mitsuwa! i know it sounds crazy, but we commuted to mitsuwa and it felt pretty short thanks to these hoodlums. it was lunch time when we got there so we waited in line for ramen and we got a table right after. i had to assert my presence haha. we bought a crepe while waiting for the ramen and ate that as our appetizer. the pig cheek meat is sooo tender! i got the shio ramen, ashley got the miso ramen, and victoria got the shoyu ramen. mmmm. we all got smalls, which was a good call because we were pretty full after. we still had room for matcha soft serve though ;D it was really yummy. while we ate, we looked at the snacks and stuff. i suggested some snacks to them and they ended up buying things on my recommendation LOL. ashley got the almond chocolate pocky with the ito-en jasmine tea i love, and victoria got the same tea but experimented with this brazilian orange pocky. it tasted like orange starburst, which i didn’t appreciated haha.

i got a roasted green tea bottle and it just tastes like the jasmine one with a stronger flavor. we got on the pace bus no problem and were surprised by the fanciness of it. it was one of the nicer buses. we hopped on the blue line again and then ashley left and victoria and i transferred to the red line. when i’m with them, we gossip, but not really because we’re not the gossiping type so it ends up turning into a “what do you know” conversation. they’re so silly. :) victoria got off and then i transferred to a bus and walked home. hmm, i’ve had lots of thoughts ever since coming back. bleh. i ate dinner a bit after i got home and spent some time bothering my mom haha. we watched shark tank together and then i exercised. i made plans to see more people and then stayed up until 2 or 3 am after i showered for some reason. ehh. idk. haha.

31: i didn’t really have plans for nye. my mom and i went to pleasant prairie outlet mall on a whim to window shop. we went into every store without buying anything until we hit michael kors. they were having a huge sale so my mom bought 2 bags. then we went to coach and found nothing so we headed over to kate spade and we bought 2 more bags. my mom got a cute af red bucket bag that suits her perfectly! she also got a cross body bag that was slightly scratched for only $50! we went back to michael kors and my mom bought wallets for people back in china. these sales were crazy. i was looking at this burgundy michael kors bag, but since we got the kate spade cross body, i didn’t get it. we drove back with all of our goodies (i kept lol’ing at my mom because she spent so much money LOLOL) and then daniel and hillary picked me up for dinner. i just took the cross body and that became my mom’s christmas gift for me :P daniel, hillary, and i ordered from honeymoon cafe, picked up the food, and then went to binny’s to get amaretto, lemon mixer, and simple syrup.

we ate while watching “OA.” we watched the finale and then we watched the nye’s broadcast on the tv. tom came over and then we started to drink. daniel used the re-jigger but i’m not sure how good of a product it is now because the amaretto sours were waaay too sweet. we played card drinking games and tom was getting wrecked. haahahha. then we stopped for a bit so we could make it to the new year. :P hillary and i took pictures together on snapchat and tom was jealous so we included him. it hit 12 am and then we drove out to get tacos! we stopped at our favorite 24-hr place and got them to go. i got 2 tacos and only finished one. then we chilled for a bit and tom left and then daniel drove me back. i got back at 1 or 2 am. it was a nice home-y celebration with daniel, hillary, and tom <3 i wouldn’t ring in the new year any other way <3

jan01: because mindy, hillary, and jia wanted to go to 3 arts club cafe, we went there for brunch to ring in the new year. we only had a 15 minute wait and their couches are so soft. their “waiting room” is beautifully decorated. mindy was running a bit late and jia was the latest but we all made it in time to get seated. we kind of went crazy and got a ton of food on the menu. i got the rh burger and some tea. we all split the prosciutto board and smoked salmon platter. the salmon platter is by far the best thing they have on their menu. the burger was meh. the tea was $6.50 for only two cups of tea. .___.’ it was overpriced, but you were definitely paying for the experience and aesthetics. anyway, it was great hanging out with the girls again <333 i wish das could have been there but she was flying out today T_T i love catching up with all of them in one place because we’re all so busy and it’s rare for us to be able to do this. i had a great time with them ;D

hillary drove jia to the nearest cvs and drove me home. it was around 4 pm so i chilled at home and then drove over to evanston to meet up with juanito at peet’s! lol my parking skills suck. anyway, it was nice catching up with this boy! he was dead from practicing and school starts tomorrow for him again! booo ): we updated each other on our lives and i learned that he hates evanston because it’s so far from chicago and also other things about nu but yeah. he’s doing well, which makes me happy :D i’m glad he had time to see me before things got too crazy for him. i think we talked for about an hour or so and then we walked in the same direction until i walked over to my car. i got home, finished my burger, and i think i worked out before showering and going to sleep. i haven’t been exercising every day, but at least i’m doing something, right? x__x
