I live by:
“A woman should always be complimented for her scent”
After my final I drove down to LA to meet Bear for a quick bite before Star Trek. (I thought it was Star Wars).
We sat by the fountain with jazz music in the background and shared a burger and fries. Well, I had two bites because the patty was extremely salty.
As a replacement, I had two glasses of my favorite wine there.
Jo and her hubby came soon after and we all watched the movie.
I fell asleep soon after. It could’ve been my uninterested mind or my intoxicated self. Either or, I wasn’t into it.
I may have to watch the first one but lets see if that happens.
I had the honor of being a part of Chef Eric Greenspan’s new webseries on the #Tasted Youtube channel. His new show #MeltMaster helps promote his new restaurant in the works.
The Chef is owner to the Foundry, which is in renovation and also to the chic restaurant at the Roof in the boutique hotel The Wilshire.
His show consists of creative grilled cheese sandwiches that he creates after visiting an eatery.
Of course my involvement means he was in my neck of the woods. KTOWN!
It was such a pleasure to work with his whole crew and seriously thankful for the opportunity to work in front of camera again. Especially with someone with such accomplishments.
Don’t forget to subscribe to the Tasted channel and follow Chef Greenspan on his adventures.
I went to lunch with my 언니 and her husband.
She’s pregnant and was driving. I was in the back and her husband in the passenger seat.
She was driving a loaner cause her car was in the shop. She mentioned how inconvenient the car was but she still manageable.
We went to jtown for Shabu and when we got in the parking garage, she pulled into an area where there were no new spots left. She stopped the car and told us to get out to put our names on the waiting list since the restaurant gets crowded.
The kicker:
Her husband says, “you guys go and I’ll park the car.”
And that is how you treat your significant other. Never allow the girl to go through the trouble.
I love her and her husband. And after he said that, I love him more. He is a true gentleman.
Because of church we always celebrate Mother’s Day on a Saturday.
Granted my mom’s accident, we decided to keep our Mother’s Day plans with the family.
Everyone assumed my mother would stay home but she’s such a strong person, I knew she wouldn’t let a twisted ankle keep her from canceling any prior plans.
She’s like that, doesn’t want to burden or inconvenience anyone because of a handicap. I think that’s where I get it from.
I called to see if they had wheelchairs to use and they did. So it worked out perfectly!
I picked up Tyler early am and took my mom, aunt and hubby’s mom and Tyler in my car to the Getty.
I also stopped by the florist to get all the moms a boutonniere. Which they loved!
Bear, hubby, Lee family and Chong family met us at the museum.
My cousin helped me roll my mom around all day.
The funny thing I noticed is that people stare and look at you differently when you have a handicap person with you.
We were in an elevator and there was plenty of room, but when the door opened for people to get in, they just stood there staring at my mom. Like as if they were scared or her handicap was contagious.
I felt bad for them because of the judgement they burdened themselves with.
Overall it was a beautiful day and an amazing time with my loved ones.
We all went to Chynna after to eat.
Bear contributed to the Mother’s Day gift by getting a gift card from J. Crew, and I will be getting her a spa gift card to Wi spa for her to use when her ankle gets better.
My mother is the biggest reason for my drive and ambition. I hope to turn out as strong and business savvy like her when I grow up.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommies out there. You are a rock and your child/children are all lucky to have you in their lives!
I love you all!
Tyler passed out… Lol
And this is now my new family.
The Great Gatsby, opening night, reserved seating at Century City.
Three couples. Outside snacks. A good time.
I didn’t remember the story at all from when I had to read it in high school.
I was mesmerized by the costumes and the extravagant lifestyles. I wish I lived in the 1920′s.
My favorite period by far, maybe.
My mother goes hiking every Wednesday.
She has the boots, hat, backpack and stick. She buys clothes specifically for this weekly event. It’s kind of cute. My mom, aunt and uncle all go with a group of other older Korean folks.
Today’s trip, she twisted her ankle.
She tried jumping off a ledge and landed wrong.
Missing class and dinner tonight to help my mom in whatever she needs.
She’s such an independent person so I don’t remember the last time I had to do anything for her. And because she never needs me, I never think about what would happen if she got older. But I’m reminded today that all she has is me and its my duty to take care of her forever, well at least until …
Aiding my strong mother in a time of her weakness. Hopefully she gets better soon.
My silver Giuseppe Swarovski flats were beat to shit and I never threw them away because I couldn’t find a replacement.
I came across the new design and color and I HAD to get it!
A little upset that the sizing isn’t consistent. I’m a 6 1/2 and got a 6 1/2 but it’s a little big. Luckily not too big where I have to return it! Lol
Iron Man 3 at Century City with Tylerboy and Bear. I don’t do opening weekend films but I know how much Tyler wanted to watch it. Luckily the theater had reserved seating so we caught the matinee.
To my surprise the film was actually enjoyable.
Had a wonderful day with my two favorite boys. Looking forward to spending forever as a trio and possibly more others in the future.
We had dinner after at Chynna, while visiting Janice 이모. Loren came too to join the family time.
