I got the Lychee Crush.

This actually doesn't taste like...anything.

Really watery.

It has bits of lychee and strawberry that gives it a little taste but it doesn't taste like tea at all.

I should have gotten my usual mangonada.

Hmmm but anyway, it was a fun day.

I have a newfound taste for uncrustables, lmao.

Hope the kids got something out of it.

Wed, Apr 5, 2017 - parks

Since I have to drop Be off at school on Wednesday mornings, I went to the park.

Dale Page Park

Redondo Beach, CA

The walk is about a mile long!

It's kind of creepy with the buzzing power lines but it was a nice walk.

It crosses Artesia Blvd, too.

There's a juicebar opening where the Brazilian pastry shop was.

I happened to be walking by who I assume is the owner.

She gave me a package of granola and it was actually really good.

Kind of soft and sticky but good nonetheless.

Will have to check the shops out in a few months when they're done renovating!

Also took a drive to Polliwog Park.

Went to the little grass amphitheater thing.

Kinda just sat there and fixed up my notebook.

Really relaxing.

What a great idea.

I really should try to do it more often.

Wed, Mar 15, 2017 - Manhattan Beach, CA

I decided at some point to start getting up early and getting things done.

Like, just actually doing something instead of sleeping a lot.

I marked a few places to go.

But daylight savings kind of got in the way so that's on hold for a bit.

I managed to take a random trip to Manhattan Beach, though.

Who knew it was going to be this cloudy.

The pictures look kind of pretty though.

I walked around for about an hour.

I wish I put more time on the meter.

Next time I should get there early enough for the free parking lot.

Hamadaya Bakery
Mitsuwa

I am still in love with this pasta.
Spicy cod roe!
It's half the price if you buy it from the deli section instead of the actual bakery.
Except it doesn't come with the baby shrimp...which is reallyyy good.
Either way, yummy.

Finally, chicken and waffles that I REALLY like.
The waffles taste like croissants and there's a caramelized outer layer.
Bad thing is it sticks a lot to the paper tray.
The chicken got stuck to it too when it hardened.
Both were reallyyyy good though, I didn't even need the sauces.

Would like to come back to SteelCraft to try the other restaurants!

Yup, my favorite mangonada.

On the right is the peach blossom, which is orangey tea. Boba was good.

I miss Long Beach.

Such great food and places.

Tuesday, Feb , 2017 - Mitsuwa, Torrance, CA

Went to Mitsuwa.

Bought another Hada Labo lotion, this is the moist instead of light.

I dunno why the bottle makes it cost $3 more, jeeez

Also trying the Kose Softymo Speedy Oil Cleanser.

And then I got some spicy cod roe with baby shrimp spaghetti.

Sooooo yummy.

From Hamadaya bakery.

I went totally overboard with the seaweed.

Currently

Randomly found Suho's drama The Universe's Star on kissasian.
I am in loveeeeee, omg.

Still watching Hwarang, it's kind of tedious at this point.
Tae's cry crying scenes were so good though.

I am so lazy. 
Already messed up on exercise schedule hahha.

Applied for another job for working with those with disabilities.

I feel kind of in a slump so I guess it helps to come on here and write today.
Even though I got distracted for a good while.
Okay, a long while.

Got some acai today.
It is sooo good with granola.
