I LOVE cupcaking..!
eating brings me such joy, especially when I get to cook and savor my creations afterwards..For some people, they only like to eat and not cook..But I enjoy every single aspect of FOOD!..I like to cook it, watch it, eat it, take pictures of it, talk about it, and BLOG about it!
..I am soOoo addicted to the Food Network..I can watch Rachel Ray, Giada, and Paula Deen all day!..Im always tivo'ing everything just so that I can fast forward away those stupid commericals and not miss a second of any of their shows..Anyways, since I have been home alot, I have been printing out recipes and baking alot..Last night, I baked some chocolate double fudge cupcakes with walnuts and mascarpone/cream cheese frosting..! I had 2 this morning for breakfast and Kenric brought the rest to work for his co-workers..If he didnt bring it to work, I swear I would have finished them all by myself today lols..Well, its barely noon, and Ive heard that the cupcakes are almost already gone..
The OC fair is this weekend, and I cant wait to go!!! There is going to be so many foods that I am already listing out to try..I havent been to a fair since I was in elementary school..So, this should be exciting..Whoohoo!

Happy 4th of July!!
I hope everyone had a great time celebrating one of the hottest holidays of the summer =)..We've had a nice and laidback weekend so far, so heres a little summary of what I have been up to..Thursday we went to go try out the Boiler...It was cajun food, and they basically cook your food in this kettle steamer..I was reading reviews about a place called the Oyster Bar inside the Palace station in Vegas, and was wondering when I would get to have a chance to go there and try it out for myself..Then I found out that they just opened a restaurant right by my house, from the people who created the restaurant in Vegas..The food was really good! I had the pan roast which consisted of this spicy tomato cream with lobster,crab,oyster, shrimp served over a bed of rice..Kenric had the jambalaya with rice..Both dishes were ever so hearty! SooOo, delish!
*The special steam kettles where they cooked our food..

*Kenric's spicy jambalaya..
*My yummy ass pan roast..

*Really good Blue Point half shell oysters..
Friday, we took Mochi to the beach...I guess everyone was starting their celebrations early because the whole beach was packed..It was such a nice day out, Orange County sure does have the best weather.
Saturday, we went over to Kenric's co-worker's place to hang out.. Lianne met up with us there, and I got to do some catching up with her..I met some people there that I also really clicked with. This is probably the first time that I've actually hung out with people whom I dont know since I have been down here..It makes me miss not having my friends closeby..Anyways, we brought Mochi along, and once again he was the life of the party..He was so pooped out, because he didnt get one second of rest from just wandering around to having people wanting to play with him...
*My precious baby...

*Me and Lianne..

*The mister and I..
*Mochi is a really curious creature..wandering around like there is no tomorrow..

*I dont know what is it with guys and thier alochol..its like their inner gayness comes out, and like alcohol gives them the liquid courage to come out of the closet or something..lols..
*From left..Franco, Eddie, and baby..
*The cool ass bartender Jill..

*They were pulling everyone into the pool, with the exception of me..Thank god!
*Mochi is just as big and tall as his papa..We are a big family if u havent noticed already..

*Love my big baby...
*And love my even bigger baby..

*Lols..Mochi looks annoyed.."put me down ALREADY!"
*No magic brownies for you, Mochi!

*Franco's dad has a band..and they were playing for us..
*Nosy Mochi..wanting to be in everyone business..
*Franco's wifey Lisa and me..

*Mochi the celebrity..

*Pooped out!
Aghh...what a fun weekend..now time to rest..

bored..
been so unproductive lately, that it is really getting to me..
..The jobs that I have applied for either turned me down or has positions that I do not want..Im going to give this thing a few more weeks, and then after that I guess I will just take anything that is given to me, becaue "beggers cant be choosers"..*sighs..Over the weekend me and Kenric drove to San Diego for Sophea's birthday bash..She celebrated her b-day at Kin Lounge on the rooftop of the Hyatt hotel..The view was pretty nice, we had a backdrop of the San Diego bay and I believe it was the Coronado Bay Bridge that we were gazing at..Her bday night, ended up being a proposal party as well..Her longtime boyfriend Devon proposed to her in front of all her friends..It was soOo sweet! She didnt know it was coming at all, since he told us that he had picked a fight with her for the past week..Anyways, so many weddings coming this year and I cant wait to attend them all, wonder when my big day will come..
..Anyways, here are the pictures, Enjoy!*Me and the Birthday girl Sophea...
*The happy couple..
*Me, Caroline,Sophea and Becky..
*She looked so scared of him..lols..
*Yay! She said yes..!
*The yummy looking cake that I did not get a chance to eat..boo..
*Us, with the newly engaged couple..
*I love her to pieces!
*MmmMmm...went home and had myself a nice sundae with chunks of moist cake that Kenric baked..

been feeling really antsy!
Lord! I really need to find myself a job! I havent done anything besides school, ever since I moved down to La and my savings are diminishing with a quickness! The couple of months prior, my head would just be focused on school and now that my summer is here, I just dont like the feeling of doing NOTHING...
..I started my job search yesterday from everything like working at insurance companies,banks, and makeup counters. Although, my major is in Communications and I know that I should find something part time that is related to that field, so that I can start building my skills...but my heart just still pulls me in the more fun and creative direction like doing makeup!..
Anyways, I hope I find a job soon, and one that I like because it sucks not to be making any money of your own. On Friday, I made a little Korean feast for Kenric and myself. I love everything Korean from the actors/actresses, skin care lines, makeup, and food! Korean food is the best! It is such a nice comfort food for the soul! MmmmMmm...I really need to stop thinking about food, because I have gained so much weight..And yesterday I had the worst nightmare ever..In my dream I just couldnt stop eating! It was like plates of steak, after steak and hella sweets..Thank god, it was just a dream because I woke up terrified that I actually did eat that much..=(..
*Sorry guys, I can be organized but not that very detailed when it comes to certain things that take up alot of time..So I didnt take step by step pictures or listed down what I exactly did in my preparations...I learned to make these dishes, by the good graces of Youtube =)..So go on there and check for recipe how to's and bless those people for having so much time and dedication to go through step by step procedures just to show us people who want to learn, Whasssup....
*Ingrediants for my Soondubu Jjigae (Soft Tofu Stew)
-Kelp
-Dried Anchovies
-Seafood Mix
-Green Onion
-3 Shitake Mushrooms
-Korean Red Pepper Flakes
-1 medium brown onion
-2 long sized tofu
-kim chee (optional)
-small slices of beef (optional)
*Making my broth..
*This was so good! Next time I will buy a bigger claypot to hold all the stew in..I just bought 2 small ones, so they ended up over-flowing big time onto the stove that I had just scrubbed and cleaned in the morning =(.
*Ingrediants for my Kimchi Bokkeumbop Fried Rice
-1 Cup of chopped Kimchi
-1TBL of red pepper paste
-Half a bag of frozen vegetables
-1/2lb of Sliced beef
-2 eggs
-Roasted sesame seaweed for garnish (optional)
*We've had this sitting in the pantry for months..so I finally wanted to try them out..and they are soOo good! You can have them for breakfast, but I chose this as my dessert..
*The filling was just a mixture of cinnamon and nutmeg I think..It just made the pancakes really sweet inside..
*After sitting for 30min, it rises like so..

*What a yummy treat!
Saturday, we went to our favorite Korean Spa in Korea-town. I just love it when they shampoo my hair, makes me feel like a baby again
..We later went to go eat at Orochon Ramen in Little Toyko. They are famous for thier really spicy ramen, and the guy from "Man vs. Food" did a featured segment on them there. They have thier Special #1 and Special #2..If you finish there Special #1 in like 45 min, then you get ur picture on the wall..The restaurant itself is pretty small, but there is no more then a handful of pictures of people who have passed the challenge of finishing off all that bowl of spicyness. They have a regular rating scale of 1-7 with 7 being the most mild. I chose 2 and after finishing that bowl, I really think that I can take on that Special #1 challenge! Kenric had like a 5 since he can not handle anything spicy whatsoever, but he said that next time he can probably go for a 4.

I am DONE!
with school, until fall for now..
..I wont be able to go to summer school because my date to register was so late that all the classes got filled up by the time I even had any chance..I guess I will be finding myself a part time job, or else just enjoying my long summer...Lemme recap on everything I have done since Wednesday..=)Wednesday: Went to try a new AYCE sushi place really close by to our house..The restaraunt is in the heart of Pomona, and it is so nice admist the kinda grundgy surroundings..The interior is sleek and modern, but really cozy at the same time..They have a long bar, sushi bar, several private tatami rooms and a bunch of seatings...The rolls were fresh and really big, it also came with alot of things from the kitchen such as miso soup,gyoza,korean spare-ribs, etc..It was all for like 21.95 what a freaking bargain huh?..They also had a regular menu, and there was so many things that looked good on it, and I read from thier website that they are always creating more new and interesting dishes...Anyways next time when we go back I want to sit in the tatami rooms and try everything else that they have to offer =)
*Salmon Skin roll..The salmon skin was crunchy, just the way I like it..
*I love my mackerel..
*We ordered hella sushi! But thats just a taste of what we had..
Thursday: Flew into Sj..I met up with my friends and we stopped by a vietnamese drinking place, before hitting up Wet..I really under-estimated myself and drank ALOT! I was stumbling over the whole club that I dont know when we ended up leaving, I just knew that it was early because thats when I couldnt control all my yakking anymore. I was throwing up so much that I must have taken my Invisalign off, and remembered about it as I was throwing up but counldnt find it since it was so dark outside and with my ass being so intoxicated. I ended up sleeping at my friend's house, and woke up frantic that I had to find my Invasalign..Thank god, my friend remembered how many stops we did, so I re-tracked all of our steps. I ended up finding the daym thing in the middle of the street! What a freaking relief! I dont think I will ever be drinking like that again, its no fun when the next day you are back to reality and start regretting all the stupid things you did..
*Boy! I have gotten so round..that I think my drinking alot was due to the fact that I was so insecure about my body..=(
*Waiting at the airport..
Friday: Kenric flew in, and we drove to the meet up spot of Duo's 30th bday! He was celebrating it on a Party Bus with just a select few of 25ppl. The party bus had so many crazy, rowdy, funny moments! Oh My, my friends are just the best! We had guys stipping down in thongs running up and down the bus, people falling all over one another, it was such a good time! We drove all the way to Salinas State Beach where Duo had a special show for us. He lit up all of his 1,000 worth of fireworks! It was such a nice night, and what a way to start off the summer!
*The crazy motherf***** that will beam you and Scottie up! lols..
Saturday: We had to drive up to the boonies of Sacramento..Where Mochi came from =)..We were really thinking about buying a puppy for Mochi to play around with, and I am fine with the responsibilities that it takes to raise a puppy..But I just think since its going to be another big dog added to the house, although the dog would be a tad bit smaller since it would be a girl, I just didnt think it was the right time to add another one to the house. Me and Kenric both have really big hearts, and I know Kenric just loves dogs soOo much but I just didnt want to be fighting with him due to the stress of all this new responsibility and the toll it takes..Yeah, I feel so bad for the breeder, because we basically wasted her time choosing a puppy just to call back and say we wont be able to handle it..*sighs..We are prolly black-listed from ever getting a puppy from the breeder now, and I dont know what to do!!..Anyways, enjoy the pictures of the puppies..
*The papa, Yukon..He was soOo cute! He was afraid of my camera, because he had never seen a camera before!
*The Mama, Sitka
*Another girl Malamute, that we took a liking to..Her name is Powerpuff!
*This was the one that we were gonna choose..She was soOo cute!
*This one was so chubby!
*What a cute little girl huh? God..im so sad now that I had say NO to Kenric about getting another dog..
Anyways, after driving a total of 4hrs roundtrip Kenric dropped me off at Shorline Amphitheatre so that I could go to the Bfd concert..The music in the main stage was freakin hideous..So I checked out the Subsonic tent with Duo, and checked out Dj AM for the very first time...Wow...thats all I kept on saying..WOW..wOw..wow...He was that good! He mixed trance, rock, hip hop all into one..His music was so clean and refreshing to the ear..He was off the hook! His range in music was CRAZY!!!!...I had never seen a dj hype up a crowd like that besides at raves...I was totally in love!!! Well, there was also a whole bunch of other drama that night, but I just hope everything works out for the best...
*When I got home..here is the REAL big baby wanting to always sit on my lap in the car!!!
