Quick Update

1)Due to a fabulous purchase:

The Hundreds shoes for Justino Bambino.
Hopefully he won't run away from me, like all the Korean people say when you buy shoes for your significant other. Psh, well these shoes are worth it if I don't have to smell his stinky feet anymore from worn-in shoes.
Don't worry, he's getting me shoes too, so we can run away together. Teehee.

2) Finally a profile picture. Quite perfect for our blog, right? LAtotheBAY: A bandanna & SF hat.

3) My sister plans to visit from April 7-10. Iris: April 12-15. Jbaby & Torrance friends: April 12-18. YAY! I cannot wait! Please bring us some KOREAN food (I miss Kimchi)!










4) My work schedule might change this week, due to stupid co-workers. But other than that, work is good. Tips suck though because everyone's holes in their pocket is getting bigger from the recession. A note to everyone: Please tip well to the next (nice) waiter/waitress you have, just for me <3. Let's come out of this economic crisis together, one dollar at a time!

5) America's Next Top Model Cycle 12! I'm rooting for Fo & London. My favorites usually never make it to the finals, but for some odd reason, Justin's pick always wins (for everything!). Sadface.










London











Fo

6) Justin & I got to watch Watchmen for FREE! He loved it, but I was left confused. I'm planning on picking up the comic just to answer some of my questions, like: Who watches the Watchmen?













7) Tomorrow is Korea vs. Japan World Baseball Classic! Let's take back what's ours! Ah ja ja fighting!

8) Random: I feel sorry for Octomon's kids. That woman needs Jesus.














9) Random again: ALBINO PINK DOLPHIN: http://www.geekologie.com/2009/03/cool_albino_dolphin_spotted_in.php

10) Justin shaved off his mustache & I grew one:

Los Siento!

So sorry!

I know we decided to update at least once a week, but we've been a bit busy (school/work).

Justin's on Spring Break right now (lucky) & we've been having a blast!

Just the other day we took a walk through Golden Gate Park looking for a stand that served kimchi hotdogs (sounds delicious huh). I think we walked 3 miles looking for it, but failed. Sadface. Maybe next time (we'll be sure to take pictures)!

During this break we both gained a lot of weight lol. We've been eating like there's no tomorrow. We took a grocery trip to the Korean market & bought things we probably never would back at home: uni, unagi, shrimp chips, canned lychees, & tempura frying batter. We take turns cooking for each other (mostly Justin teehee) & we love it. We plan theme dinners, like the sushi night we had tonight.

Very random story that I HAVE to share: At work there are three amigos who work in the kitchen at my restaurant & they are always making me laugh. They call Justin their rival & tell me everyday that they want to beat him up lol. They are the cutest things ever!

Today, one of them, Jose wrote me a note (keep in mind they can barely speak english): "My Queen! I like your smile, especially when you make mistakes, cause from mistakes we learn, having a difficult time is disgusting, but when you overcome it, that means to me you're a very special person. That's all matters to me."

Then he dedicated "When a Man Loves a Woman" to me. LOL. 

Justin always laughs when I tell him stories about the amigos.

Ok enough gibberish, time for some pictures:

Remember last post we told you to keep in mind the orange bunny & pink bear? Well, here's what it's about...

You first boil some eggs.

After the eggs are fully boiled, you take the eggs & put them into the molds.

Then you dunk them into a cold water bath for about 15 minutes...

...waiting 15 minutes.

Then open up the molds to find these perfectly shaped bunny & bear eggs! VOILA!

Yum, bunny brains.

Justin doesn't like bear brains. He only likes the white meat.

Speaking of Justin... he shaved his moustache & beard finally lol!

Our Sushi theme Dinner:

Brought sushi rice home today to make some unagi nigiri (learned from watching the sushi men at work).

Jealous?

Check out the homemade uni nigiri, now you're really jealous haha!

Well, that's all for now, I promise we'll have a better update next week.

Love/miss you all! Please hug & kiss each other for us.

♥Christy & Justin

From LA to the BAY

Goodbye's are never easy.

I learned this the hard way, leaving everything & everyone I love behind.

Honestly, I'm home sick (no suprise, huh). 

I miss my grandma's kimchi jji gae, the smell of my house, the sounds of my siblings playing games, my mom's perfume, the creaky noise my front door makes when my dad leaves for work, the warm so-cal weather, the cries of my godson in the middle of the night, the hugs of my friends, the korean t.v. channel, and everything other little thing that I've taken for granted.

Sigh, I do wish I was home, but we all know I need to check off a few things on my to-do list.

Justin & I decided to keep you all updated on our San Francisco adventures through this blog. We hope to update at least once a week or so, to keep you posted on our progress & other things you'd miss. Don't worry, we're eating right & growing up. We cook, clean, & keep each other company. 

We miss you all so much. We encounter things that remind us of home everyday. Keep us in your thoughts & prayers, because we need all the support we can get. We hope you enjoy this blog, as much as we enjoy San Francisco. 

♥

So, let's begin with a little tour of Christy's jip...

This is the view outside my window. 

It was raining...LIKE ALWAYS! Sigh.

Basically, you open the front door & go up a flight of stairs, which leads you to this hallway.

Then, on the left you'll see my closet space (excuse the mess, I haven't fully moved in yet due to work).

To the right, you'll see David's room & his beautiful art.

You'll follow the hallway straight to my room/living room.

The view on the right side of my bed: The fireplace & the best invention I've invested in, the Swiffer.

In the middle of the hallway, you'll find our kitchen (those aren't party cups, it's our water cups lol).

...And our dining room, where you'll find us lounging most of the time.

At the other end of the hall, you'll find Soul & Jason's room.

That's it for the tour, now for our entertainment & adventures.

Justin & I spend most of our days in these piggy slippers. Don't judge us.

I swear we've been eating good, but we're addicted to cheese & Triscuits.

Justin made us dinner one night. Very romantic with our candle-light setting.

See! I told you we eat well. Porkchops, rice pilaf, onions, mushrooms & salad. Jealous?

We spend most of our time drawing & doing art pieces together. This is our new project, which will eventually be hanging up on my wall.

We also Google random places to go to. We went to Japan & China town yesterday & picked up these goodies (keep in mind the little package with the orange bunny: it makes hard boil eggs in that shape & we're planning on making them tomorrow & will post pictures).

This is my little scrubbing hand towel thing we got in J-town for $1.50! So cute, I had to get it!

Shower buddies!

We have a couple people stopping by from time to time. Young Buck from G-unit stopped by to hang out with Justin.

He says Hi.

We say Hi, too.

Bye bye from us, Young Buck, & the cute dead skin scrubber!

Stay tuned for next weeks adventure: boiling eggs into shapes of bunnies & bears.
