Moving is kind of exciting to me but also not short of totes exhausting.
In addition to moving, I also had to work around my new work schedule, which is awesome for a night owl like myself, but not so much for like... day time things. At least, not during the week.
EITHER WAY, all of this has been just a new adventure for me, and I've been taking in every moment of it all like sweet sweet delicious boba milk tea. Because metaphors.
Going out to eat has become a regular occurrence. This is great, but it's also not cheap. And I forget that, sometimes. That part is not great. I need to take it back a notch, tbh. It's gotten a little out of hand lol.
New alliances have formed because of my new job.
It's dope.
And because everyone is done or sticks around til about the same time we're off, it's easy to grab food right after and just kick it.
Not to mention Diamond Jamboree shopping center is a few mins away, and a lot of people who work there are local or live crazy nearby.
It's a horrific rain of one convenience after another. HOW DOES ONE REFUSE?
This place, however, is closer to my area. It was late, I wanted boba, colleague was leaving work.
Boom. solution.
Sometimes I forget I wear this shirt out in public and people stare.
But people stare anyway, so I don't think about it, but then remember,
and then... don't think about it again.
and that's my story :D
He was laughing because I told him he looked identical to this one dude in a porno I found while confirm/denying something a friends' claim.
I took a screenshot of the dude and showed it to him and he lost it
BECAUSE I WAS RIGHT
Hi, I'm Cynthia and I like ramen-- tonkotsu is my favorite.
And boba milk tea
Sugar and sodium.
delicious.

regarding glasses
and cos photogs...
제이 킫
there it is.
This sweet angel must be protected
Imma do that.
So, idk what happened. But like all these things are happening and I'm the type of person to be like, UGH I BET SOMETHING BAD'S GONNA HAPPEN NOW BECAUSE I'M SO HAPPY. GUHHH
Like, that's just how my brain works? But lately I've just been going with it and not trying to worry about anything else except getting my shit together and I'm like
I think I'm like, done with my 20's, emotionally.
Like, I'm good.
I'm set.
It happened, ya'll. I'm there. lol
If there's one thing I learned that I could advise to like, the world, it's...
Worry about ya damn self. Rely on yourself. Spoil yourself. Love yourself. Be good to yourself. Work for yourself. Want to succeed for yourself.
Not for anyone else because.... they're a separate entity from your being, your existence, your future, and your reality. So it's kinda risky to rely on other entities for your reality to be anything you want it to be. Right? Make sense?
Everything else around you and outside of your shit, is separate. Has nothing to do with you. All that shit, all those people; you're going to look at them and form views of them based on your experiences and your values and morals. But they have nothing to do with you or who you are as a person.
KEEP THAT SHIT SEPARATE, I'M TELLING YOU.
And do you. Tuesday pep talk, alright!
Idek if that's a pep talk
but anyway, that's where I'm at, mentally.
And I love all my friends, but I have to handle my own. NAW MEEN?
Imagine explaining this to Peter Pan, he'd explode omg
Ponies and I went to go see another play at STAGES :D
I'm becoming more and more fond of theatre.
This is the 3rd play I've seen here annnnnnnd I need more lol.
I WANNA WATCH ALL OF THE PLAYS
After the play, we went out to eat at this Indian restaurant that was absolutely beautiful
Guys I felt so cultured
This is Paul.
He's been in all the plays we've gone to see.
He's also Ponies friend and they've known each other since like... Kindergarten.
That's an exaggeration but it's been a long time
Not a single clue what this was but I ate it
I got curry and like, bread and stuff. And rice. And thought it was delicious.
Ponies enjoyed his meal
Paul got food poisoning
Thanks Tandoori! :D
It was late. I wanted dessert.
Denny's and boba.
And toki doki machines that I spent like $6+ dollars in quarters on to get stupid little heads that now sit on my desk
I direct so awkardly but
YOU'RE WELCOME
And again!
Bunch of us from work went to get pho after a quick run around the campus.
Can't stop, won't stop
And the next morning, I had to get up early for something and had some time to kill before going into work sooooooooooooooooooo...
Always wanted to eat at the this little diner.
I remember seeing it at the edge of the pier at Huntington Beach, but it was always closed when I'd get there. And I thought it looked so cool because it looked very... Bioshock.
Had the eggs benedict. Was really yummy ^_^
I like this place a lot. And there's one right down the street from my house. It's a really cute little spot!
This sums up my teenaged years
and also me at work, literally
Another night out after work
These two are
are so fun to watch
interact
it's just
magical
Let's play a game called Whose Patience is Wearing More Thin?
They're great, I love their dynamic because they're both so different.
This place is so close to work, it's insane
I've been there at least 7 times already
it's awful
Me all of July after getting home
Next day...
Bibimbap with the new roomie!
Even though we already know each other from when we used to work together :)
But this was just nice
Day after that!
ILLIUM
Took him to shabu-shabu because he's never had it and that's just asinine
noooommmmm
amaze.
fantastique.
bella.
maravillosa.
pistachio and rose ^_^
This is him about 94% of the time
It's been a very busy month with the move and the new work schedule.
But I love it so much.
I'm about to turn 30 and like, hindsight is 20/20 they say. Throughout all the awesome experiences as well as hardships... some of the most awful, unfathomable shit, I've learned so much.
I've learned that everything is essentially a lesson to learn from, good or bad. And it's what you do with those experiences that can help you grow, or hold your back.
and right now, people at work bring me cake
It's been a busy, but good month.
I just have to remember to be a little less crazy on spending with food lol
Annnd once I get my room all set up, I can finally work on stuff I've been wanting to because I have ROOM! And it's not super cramped and I can have a work station and and and and ^_^
I dragged Illium out to shabu-shabu again
and afterwards we went to the park in the complex he's staying at, cuz it's so purdy
and they have this cute coffee shop
Aaaaaand maybe go back to work and hang out in the library.
squeeeeee ^_^
Berserk and Death Note volumes!
I happy.
ANYWHO.
Yeah, I've been MIA kinda because of all this stuff. But ummmmmmm. Yeah. I turn 30 this month, too. Exciting! It sucks getting older and thinking about how limited life is, but....
HEARTHSTONE IS SO MUCH FUN :D
I'm boring when I'm content, lol. Watch something bad happen soon so I can totally joke about it and my awful luck. Until then, readers will just have to tolerate gross, contented Cynth until like my car breaks down or something. YAY
K BYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYE
