HULK SMASH

So I had a pretty relaxing, and surprisingly productive weekend ^^ Normally I don't wake up until noon, and even then, I spend at least an hour rolling around doing nothing before dragging myself out of bed and into the shower. BUT this weekend I woke up early both days. Saturday for grocery shopping, and today to make breakfast for everyone (my parents were trying to figure out who's birthday it was, or whether they had forgotten about mother's day or something. Jokesters.) I also turned a free-career-fair-tee into a Hulk-muscle-tank. Maybe it will inspire me to work out.  Which reminds me, I finally did some physical exercise for the first time in 2 months and may or may not have pulled a muscle lifting 2-pound weights…..

Yesterday I also played some League of Legends with Thomas.  Man, I swore I would never play that game, but there I was, hunched over my computer, madly clicking away. At first I was kind of confused as to why people enjoy playing, but then I finally killed the ass hole who kept killing me…. :)

Today was a pretty average day at work.  Had the genius idea to listen to Asian dramas (下一站, 幸福) while working, which made it go much faster. Sad part is that it almost made me cry in the office…actually it was more bordering on pathetic. We also tried this deli place for the first time. IT WAS AWESOME. Definitely deserved their 4.5 star rating on yelp. I was so caught up in the whirlwind of activity that I completely forgot to take a picture. Oh well, next time for sure. 

Nap time ^^

Mmmm crafted with such artistry! Too bad only one omelette turned out actually looking like an omelette.

THOSE VEINS.  

Lol can't wait to wear this thing

Gold Rain

Do you think it's normal for someone to take so many pictures? This is probably less than a 10th of the pictures I've taken over these past two weeks. It's such a pain in the ass to sort through them that I almost miss the days before I had a smart phone….but then again, what a horrifying thought. Anyway, enjoy the giant bulk of pictures. Naturally they are accompanied by short essay descriptions. 

Completed my very first commission! My commissioner was very happy with it = happy sonya. Damn what a huge milestone, I can barely contain my feelings. My dad pointed out that I probably got paid about $1 an hour for this thing but I don't even care >:D 

First two pics are from a two hour lunch break we took the other day lol. Felt pretty bad, but the food was so worth it. First Wendy's frosty! Second row is from my weekend boston trip. Mmm Wagamama's so goooood (asian fusion). Went halvsies with Nolan on King's sandwiches. $4 cheesesteak meal at this pool/arcade place. Freaking delicious burger - Our boss decided to take all the interns out to lunch! They bought us food, and then basically paid us for 2 hours of work to sit there and eat it. I'm sorry for all the times I've complained about my job xD

After a grueling bus ride (seriously HOW was there traffic at midnight on a THURSDAY??) finally arrived at Boston! Lol check out my very attractive friends. Also matt was very pleased with his newly purchased Gap pants. Not sure if you can tell or not. We grabbed lunch at Rebecca's Cafe, a place that he's been raving about since forever (a must-read) and gotta say I was extremely satisfied with the Bello Bello and my Honest Tea.  Honestly.

Four moments where an ungodly artsy urge took over my body and before I knew it, I had snapped these babies.  I call the first one, Bricks and Feet: The struggle between everyday existence. You can catch it at my next exhibit in downtown manhattan. Okay I don't know where I'm going with this, so I'll just stop. Took it while we were walking from the Prudential (after the gap pants). Second is taken at Boston Public Gardens (I think) Third is from underneath a cell tower.  We took a field trip there for work the other day, and holy jesus we were baking underneath that thing. Nevertheless, a pretty cool pic. Lastly we've got a small sample of the amazing fireworks I saw last week. We were so close, that when they exploded, it just filled up the whole sky. Literally gold raining down on us - prettttty amazing.

Woohooo the beginning of a three day birthday spectacular. Lol my roommate was finally turning 18! Did a shit ton of shopping, eating, sweating, pool, video games, (alotalotalot of walking) and some karaoke. Had a good time ^^ We also watched Wreck It Ralph at this amphitheater-type stage in Boston. (also in case you're wondering, most of that tip was paid in dollar-coins. We're not thhaat cheap)

Last day in the city! mmm bubble tea. mmm muscular-tanned-50-year-old man. What a boss drawing on the sidewalk and puffing on a cigarette. After eating at Taiwan Cafe in Chinatown, we did some sight seeing! Boston is so beautiful - it's kind of sad how we've never really explored the city we practically live in. Definitely something I'm going to make an effort to do this year!

Had some jam time with Shalom. Victor being classy, as usual. Went to an arcade/pool hall, ate our $4 cheesesteak meals, had a good time. Man I wish our town had a place like that. Actually I just wish I had friends with pool tables lol. Speaking of which, my friend asked me to be a rush girl for his frat, and at first I was a little iffy since I'm kind of awkward and not very outgoing at all, but then he mentioned that I could just play pool all day. Sold. Lol so easily bought. Maybe by the end of rush, I'll be a pool shark. Ha, here's to hoping.

Hmm…I'm supposed to wake up early to run and then go grocery shopping…. I don't think I believe in myself enough to make that happen. Hehe, we'll see. Gooooood night ^^

The Sun Always Rises

Currently listening to my dad and sister argue in the back seat over whether she has ever pooped her pants. Lol. She's vehemently denying it while my dad's trying to convince her that she did when she was younger.  I realize this is a pretty weird way to start a new post, especially after not blogging for a month and a half. But I could honestly think of no better way. Anyway, I spent that non-blogging-time taking a shit-ton of pictures, so here they are in all their glory with outrageously long captions.

After a delicious (and geniusly constructed) breakfast (carrot and broccoli omelet) we headed to the Crayola Factory to celebrate father's day! I actually had a blast making markers/crayons/puzzles and coloring in coloring pages lol. Not sure who was having more fun, my sister or me hahaha

Moooorree family time….at Sesame Place! Fell in love with Cookie Monster. Is that weird?

I eat delicious food. :)

Recently got commissioned for the first time! Worked on it while marathoning Marvel movies. I think I watched Thor, Captain America, Iron Man 2 & 3, The Incredible Hulk, and the Avengers over the span of two days lol. What has my life come to? Also I stumbled across an amazing portrait artist recently and was inspired to try my own. So I creeped through Facebook and ended up drawing courtney :)

MORE FOOD.  Fried rice and tea with Emma. Quality Five Guys with Nicole and Brian (he eats peanuts with the shell on) The rest is from family vacation to Williamsburg and Myrtle Beach :) 

Random pictures! Hit the beach and encountered the biggest pizza I have ever had the pleasure of eating.  Lunch break from work (that place is eating me alive). Watched Nic Cage simultaneously on three laptops, but the movie speed was slightly different on all three so we kept having to sync them up. Also my sister is a fairy princess. 

Busch Gardens and Water Country USA! Man I love culture-themed amusement parks (like Epcot). Also, I finally triumphed over my fear/inability to use tampons. You see that victorious smile on my face? Sorry if this is tmi, but hey, it was an important milestone in my life. 

Colonial Williamsburg! Watching the fifes and drums was pretty awesome. Also got to see all the trade shops like the weaver's, silversmith, seamstress, etc.  Best part might've been sitting next to a pile of horse poop in 90 degree heat while listening to a reenactment of the Declaration of Independence. Not.  

Myrtle Beach! Sand castles and sand-faces.  Catching fish with a dinky little net (I CAUGHT THREE!!) Watching Fireworks with the family. My first german dining experience. And a broken glass (lol i thought it was artsy) We also binged on Friends every night. Probably watched 20 episodes.  Don't even get me started on Spongebob. D: My sister is addicted to television.

Got dragged out of bed at 5:30  to watch the sunrise. Gotta admit, the suffering was definitely worth it. The sun reflecting off the clouds and water was absolutely breathtaking. Lol check me out raising the sun.

Exploring the boardwalk! Mega candy store… They had candy bras, handcuffs, and g-strings lol. Went to the "Gay Dolphin" and actually found my name on a little license plate! I was so blown away that I bought it immediately. Who knows what I'm gonna do with a little piece of plastic, but it was too rare of an opportunity to pass up. We also went to this really cute tiki bar and my mom got this amazing spicy schnitzel sandwich.

Last two days! Saw an amazing show at the Alabama Theater. It was one of those compilation shows that span over a bunch of different music and dance genres (mainly focusing on country and soul, but hey it's the south what do you expect) Also check out my parents lol. Best part is that I told them which holes to go to, without them knowing that they were gender-bending. My mom was horrified when she saw the pictures. We left early the next day during a torrential downpour. I guess Myrtle beach was sad to see us go :( We were sad too, so we ate away our feelings with some quality McDonalds. 

WOOO finally done. I will post soon about last weekend's adventures in Boston! But for now, bed time ^^ Hopefully 4 hours is enough to last me through work tomorrow. Lol who am I kidding. I'll probably face plant on my desk….again. -_-
