I guess tea, music, guitar, && the internet world will be my sanity tonight. Nights like these make me wonder why I’m such an unsocial hermit, or if I’m just not liked by anybody.
Ohh dear. You have bigger fish to-..ugh fuck it.
My boyfriend’s friend, Belinda, drew me going bonkers with corgis. Thank you so much!
As for Belinda’s artwork, from what I’ve seen, she’s so talented. Please check her out here!

WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT.
But there is nothing like waking up in the early morning and having the opportunity to relaxingly sit down to enjoy a great cup of tea and pastries.
Oh happy days.
I’ve been learning Japanese cuisine lately on my spare time. First time takoyaki! (Taken with instagram)
I’ve always been intrigued to try this dish ever since I became more interested in Japanese cuisine. Takoyaki is usually found in vendor food carts in the busy streets of Japan. Fortunate for me, though no food carts nearby, I found it at a small restaurant, “What’s Up?” in downtown Fullerton not far from my train stop.
To start off, a chunk of octopus is dropped in a frying batter along with benishoga (pickled ginger), chopped green onion and tenkasu (fried batter crisps) and is then cooked together, shaped into bite size servings and browned to perfection. Brushed on top is takoyaki sauce, a squeeze of mayo, topped with seaweed flakes and bonito flakes (fish flakes). The presentation of this dish has always caught my eye. When presented onto the table, the bonito flakes were so thin that the heat from the takoyaki made them appear as if they were alive and dancing. Then comes the warm smell of takoyaki as it hits your nose while you try to hurry and grab your phone to snap a picture before devouring it, as I did.
Nonetheless, I will continue the search through Japanese cuisine to find great dishes (other than sushi) to warm your heart and your taste buds.
