Disregarding the 4,000-or-so miles between us, the boyfriend and I have managed to have two dates together (so far!). Our first date took place during his first week away. We watched Through the Wormhole, since we were unable to watch it together before he left. The anticipation for the first episode has been building since he bought the entire season!
Our second date was supposed to be on one of those month marks :P I had to work over the weekend to help with sampling at the lab. K asked me to check for a package that he was expecting that day. Knowing him, I assumed it was some bulk order of gadgets from ThinkGeek. And our professor invited everyone to dinner, so I told him that I'd have our housemate sign for it.
I came home to a vase of flowers. Sadly, I didn't spot it until an hour later. I rushed to my room without turning on the lights in the living room, hoping to catch the bf online, but he had disappeared. Sulked in my room for a bit before seeing the surprise downstairs.

| stir, stir, stir the curry! |
We had to reschedule our second date because he fell asleep.. -_____- SIGH. Uber fail. We still managed to cook dry curry together :]
 |
| my late-lunch/his dinner for the day. dry curry with ground pork, a side of Tejava, and the flowers he sent me! |
And we ate it together, too! :]

First Annual Good Food Awards Marketplace in San Francisco
0 comments Posted by nanabuuui at 11:00 PMInstead of studying, I was aimlessly browsing the web and stumbled across this: Good Food Awards :D
Something about street food with free samples called out to me. I asked the bf if we could go. He was super excited, too! :D
The criteria is that the food must be responsibly produced, supporting sustainability and social good. There were seven categories:
- beer
- charcuterie
- cheese
- chocolate
- coffee
- pickles and preserves
We got to try everythinggg!! There was no beer, though. Boo :[
The event started at 8 AM and ended at 2 PM. We got there around 9:30 AM because I couldn't wake up early enough.. (sorry bf!!)
 |
| coffee love! :] |
 |
| fresh coffee beans! |
 |
| "whyy sooo serious?!" |
After a few hours of browsing around, trying out the samples, and purchasing our favorites to bring home, we walked to Chinatown and Little Italy to explore. The walk was nice :] we found some interesting buildings and passed a variety of shops. I definitely prefer the feel of SF's Chinatown to New York's. It's less dirty. There were a good amount of people at the markets. I know it's Chinatown, but it made me think of the markets in Vietnam. And I miss the scents, noise, and feel of the early morning markets :[
We got some keychains and toys, like the Scarecrow and Joker one there :D
Somewhere around Little Italy, we spotted four hookers o__O IN DAYLIGHT!!! They were just hanging out in an alley by a bunch of strip clubs. HRM.
 |
| we went up a bunch of steps for this view! :] |
 |
| and he got tired :[ |
 |
| I liked the turtle bread and crab bread from this display. TOO CUUUTE!! There was also a pet shop WITH THE CUTEST PUPPIES, EVERR! Makes a girl want a dog even more :[ Must wait for my future corgi. SIGH. |
 |
| We spotted a huge line in front of Golden Gate Bakery. We had no idea why, so I convinced the bf that we should get in line to find out :] The line moved relatively fast, and we got some scrumptious egg tarts, pork pastries, and sesame balls. |

day two! :D
places we went to:
- we used the subwaaay!
- Ground Zero - the whole area has been blocked off for construction of the new 9/11 museum, so we didn’t really get to see much
- 9/11 memorial preview - showed some of the exhibits and artifacts to be placed in the new memorial site
- St. Paul’s Church - where george washington got inaugurated. it’s across the street from the WTC. there’s a lot of 9/11 information in the church. the graveyard in the front is ancient. was a bit scary and intimidating >___<
- Wall St. - saw the New York Stock Exchange and passed by the Museum of American Finance. NY Stock Exchange is closed to the public. I WAS SO SAD! And I was disappointed that the area was super :[
- Goodburger - it was okay. Good, but not the best. OMG, customer service was terrible here! I felt stupid trying to order :[
- China Town - reminiscent of the one in SF. I felt like I was in Vietnam (Asia)/SF
- cheap snack place in China Town. $1 for chicken skewers and fried fish balls :]
- Prince St. Cafe - to use the wifi and grab coffee. IT WAS SO COLD OUTSIDE. yuum, Americano
- Little Italy
- Lombardi’s Pizza - wasn’t overly impressed. yelp got me really excited. high expectations, I suppose. it was good. the crust was amazing. the basil tasted great. but yeah.. again, they weren’t so nice. it’s a bit overhyped. hated how the toppings costed extra! :[ $20 with tip on a pizza with NO MEAT OMG :[ I like my protein.. :[
- THE MEATBALL SHOP - BEST PLACE WE WENT TO!!! service was awesome! ambience was suuuper nice! and tasty eats! sad part: we got some meatballs to go, and the oil spilled into our bag :[
- Museum of Sex - intriguing and educational. a lot of bad reviews on yelp. I was pleasantly surprised. it was informative and entertaining. the animal exhibit was awesome!!! along with the photograph of the necrophiliac duck xD wtf?!

4:06 PM
so 6:06 PM in Chicago?
Delayed flights are no fun. An hour isn't so bad, but the layover is already three hours, the additional waiting time is a drag :[ At least bf gets to nap. Poor K has been tired all day :[ WAHH.
As an effort to be more productive, and to improve my writing( take more pictures), I have decided to take on the Project 365 challenge, which has become very popular among bloggers. Every day, I'll post a picture and a short blog, just because I used to write so much when I was younger. It helped my memory a lot. These days, it feels as though everything becomes a blur. Events and changes become blended into a large mess, and it is difficult to define specific moments. The drunken moments are especially hard to recall. I'm STILL trying to remember the specifics from months ago *ahem* :/
Today has been our travel day! We only slept about three hours, due to packing and last minute preparations, then we had to get ready to go to the airport. Z slept on my legs all night xD I woke up multiple times, wondering where the extra weight came from xD too cuuuutee!!
We arrived at the San Jose airport at 7:30 AM with croissants from K's parents :] it was delicious with our morning Jamba Juice. Croissants, lightly coated with sugar :D they really took care of me this weekend. It was so nice. I'm not used to it because it's usually family/relatives who do that. I'm so grateful!!
The flight to Chicago went well. We were unable to find a seat together, but someone was kind enough to move for us. It was super sweet~ I watched a baby get fed. A flight attendant held the baby while the mom spoon fed him. HE WAS SO ADORABLE! :D Bright, pretty eyes, and a lively, energetic smile.
In the back of my mind, I heard C saying, "OMG ANNA, I want one!" HAHA xD
Note: Small acts of kindness really do make your day :]

Tumblr server down all day: the removal of a distraction during finals.
Let's toss in the fact that K decided to cut me off from Puzzle Fighter, too.
Alas, hello new friend.
I don't want to sleep yet and I need to feel productive.
This all-nighter is my solution.
This photo was taken earlier today.
Bf pulling me around the ice rink on his snow skateboard thing. As we were making our first trip around the rink, a young boy approached us and asked if he could try. He was so enthusiastic about the prospect of being pulled around. Bf and I looked at each other. He ended up pulling the boy around a few times as I watched from the side with T. Too cute.
T: He's such a nice guy. I'd be so annoyed.
:D
