• 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....

  *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 =(.

  *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.
