Frappe Rush

October 20, 2011


Wore my mustard/yellow sheer top with white shorts, braided belt, bangles and moccasins. After my ENG101 class in the morning, sat by the bench to wait for the budds. GR comes first and we were both craving for a frappe. Impulse decision to drive to Mcdonald's before class starts. Ran to her car, GC calls - and crap, she just got her braces off and wanted to show us but we've already left :( Parked, shoe fell off while i tried to get out of the car, ran inside while a guy in the truck laughs at us. Ordered quick, left running, back to school a minute before class starts and made it in just 13 minutes. Good thing Mcdonald's wasn't too far and thanks to GR for being an awesome driver. As I sat in my seat, SC was giving me the silent treatment or whatever. Sorry it had to be that way. Anyways, yeah. Highlight of my day.

So I Won't Even Start

David Choi - Won't Even Start

What happened
after last summer
when we broke up
in September

I havent seen you
Feels like a long time
Sometimes it still hurts
But I always get by

I still got a piece of you under my skin
Its always there no matter where Ive been

So if I ever see you on the street
Ill pretend that I didnt see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

Because if I look into your eyes
Then Ill have to say goodbye
And that'll break my heart
So I wont even start
I wont even start

I wish you luck
And I wish it true
Thats the best
I can do for you

Cuz youll probably find love
In someone new
I have to let go
Yeah its hard to do

So if I run into you with your arm by his side
Just know it'll cut me like a knife

So if I ever see you on the street
Ill pretend that I didnt see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

Because if I look into your eyes
Then Ill have to say goodbye
And thatll break my heart
So I wont even start
I wont even start

Ill be ok, Ill be ok
Or thats what Ill say

So if I ever see you on the street
Ill pretend that I didnt see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

Cuz if I look into your eyes
Then Ill have to say goodbye
And thatll break my heart
So I wont even start
Oh I wont even start
No I wont even start

*I can't believe Im just hearing this song. It's crazy how much I can relate to it - every word.

Brief skip of a heart beat

October 12, 2011

Me and GR have been trying to get our schedules set up. Fb chat, and then RP pops up. Hi, havent seen you in awhile, how's college? dance? hate to start a conversation and say bye, sorry, goodnight. Yeah. thanks a lot. I tried so hard to forget yet you come out of nowhere and trip me once again. eff. At least my Spring 2012 schedule works out. 3 classes with GR, carpool to Main, and a harder chemistry class.

Stars and Glasses

October 10, 2011
I've been listening to too much Indie/Rock and Acoustic. It calms me. Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks, Ed Sheeran, Phoenix. Outfit of the day: silk navy star-print shirt, distressed shorts, navy flats, vintage round shades - inspired by Trixia.

October 11, 2011
Me and GR were supposed to match boots today, since she got new shoes yesterday. Too bad she woke up at 12 noon, when all classes were over.. I wore my mustard shorts, with a beige cami underneath my floral cover-up. Worked out for 3 hours at the gym and got a free gatorade bottle. Home by 5pm, chemistry hw, and a random dress up photo-op: faded pink shirt, white shorts, braided belt, beige wedges, nerd glasses.

Breezy Chill Day

October 8, 2011
GR's get-together birthday party.
10:00 - Garage sale in the morning, bought a Starbucks gift card at Fry's
1:00 - ready (awfully late), picked up SC at Mcdonald's
2:00 - Polar Ice Skating (free tickets thanks to this lady)
3:00 - Rio Vista Park (rode with GR's bf's twin, with D and A)
Another long day with GR and more of her friends this time. Ice skating was fun, I missed it a lot. Drove and got a little lost with RJ, D, A. Met up with GC and 3 other filipinos at the park, and more of her high school/youth group friends. Played ninja with J, IR, D, GC, AP, SC; guitar, ukulele, baby audrina, GR's mother and step sister, GC's ex, shortie JL, hilarious J, ripstick, 9 boxes of pizza, circle, cupcakes and candies, her nice friends. Drove home with GC, AP, SC. Fun day for sure, but I was so exhausted right after.

First Friday

October 7, 2011 (Day after GR's birthday)
Plans for today:
9:15 - meet up GR @ Mcdonald's (mocha/caramel frappe)
9:30 - back to GR's house (step-sister and her daughter, puppy, cat)
10:30 - Runway Fashion Exchange (sell clothes, made $15)
11:00 - shopping (we both had lists)
12:00 - meet up with GR's friend A and C at Chik-fil-a
1:00 - shop and dress up C
3:00 - pick up GR's brother and TH from school
4:00 - back to GR's house (guitar, trombone, met her mom and dad)
6:30 - eat dinner at Chico's Mexican Food and drive to Phoenix Art Museum
7:30 - meet up with GR's friends inside the museum, ride the shuttle to First Friday Event
8-10:00 - walk around the strip, art shows, booths and shops
11:00 - go home
Today was definitely long and busy but I had fun hanging out with them. I learned that we had so much more in common than before! It's so crazy. Rushed this morning, dumping out a ton of clothes to sell. Wore shorts, flats, racerback tank under a silk floral cover-up, with my suitcase like shoulder bag. Got some frappe in the morning, shopped at F21, over-enthusiastic employee lady helping me out with my shopping list - she got a ton of scarves, asked me what style I like (she liked indie/boho as well). Ate lunch at Chik-fil-A, met up with her friend A and she brought a friend because he said he needed help changing his 'prep' style. Back to the mall, got a teal sweatshirt and cream scarf at F21, went to Pacsun and me and GR both got a dress (buy 1 get 1 free, so we both paid only $10), we both liked the beige/mustard pants, Charlotte Russe - the brown long boots i wanted was sold out, she got lace and knit tights. Checked out the price for those mustard pants, she went back to Pacsun, i went to F21, called and took pictures (the pacsun pants were better but more expensive, didnt buy it), met up at clothing co, back to F21. Dejected because we both didn't find the boots we wanted (she wanted the brown ankle oxford-ish boots i had). She realized i had feather extensions in my hair,; our parents were the same when it comes to shopping; rusty/mustard colored shirts, vintage dress, oxfords. At 3pm, picked up her bro IR and her bf's bro TH. Played guitar at her house, found out she sang for her church with a band, printed out chords, her teal/greenish room, christian bands on her wall. 7pm - ate tacos, chilly outside so i wore my new cream scarf, phoenix art museum, shuttle bus, walked around, fuze drinks, scary people with halloween costumes, recieved a black rose (hair salon coupon), sweetsauce shirts, waited for a train but ended up walking a quarter of a mile. Tiring day for sure. It was fun, got to know her and a whole lot of her friends.

Thursday Tights

October 6, 2011
GR's birthday! Planned to wear our new tights on this day - i had black lace tights, she got red striped tights. I wore my rusty 3/4 sleeve dolman top with ripped shorts, grey scarf, and navy flats. She was wearing a grey vintage-y dress with a red scarf, and black flats. Yeeeaaa.
Anyways, I wanted to surprise her with cupcakes or cookies but she was allergic to wheat foods. How depressing. So instead, I asked her what treats she likes and she's down for snickers. I also gave her some vintage pearls and hair clip, and wrote a happy birthday post-it on the gift bag. It turned out pretty simple and adorable. ENG101 class first, funny and cool people, i love sitting in the back. After, waited for GC outside her class, met up with GR, SC, and BY by our usual bench spot. Greeted GR, gave her the gift bag, loved it. MAT150 next, lunch, 'fish net' is not the same as my lace tights. no. homework in the library, texting plans for tomorrow, fitness center at 2:00pm, while I was on the elliptical, i felt a tap on my shoulder and it was GC's cousin AC! Hahah how sweet, he said he'd say hi the next time he sees me so there we go. I was so worried it'd be awkward but it wasn't. It really just depends on how you handle the situation. We talked for a little bit, then he left. After the gym, I went outside to wait for my uncle and cousins to pick me up. 
-----------------------------------------
I wrote this on my tumblr while waiting: 
It’s so nice out that I’d rather sit out here by the bench than wait inside the library. Mhmm college is great. But once I transfer to a university, that’s when it changes for the better or worse (hopefully not). Today is GR’s bday so I brought her some snickers and vintage pearls and bangles, we also planned to wear tights and scarves today. Matching! Tomorrow, I’ll be spending the day with her and her sister at the mall since we have SO MUCH in common when it comes to shopping. Yeaa, then that night, I’ll be going with her to this first friday event at downtown phoenix! Then on Saturday, we celebrate her birthday at polar ice, and then hang out at rio vista park and maybe watch a movie that night. Wow that’s a whole week with her! I can’t believe I’m only meeting her in college: I mean, we both write shopping lists, to-do lists, we like vintage, prefer shopping alone than with friends, short, and more. Oh how I love meeting friends :)

Little Miss Perfect

October 1, 2011
The night before, after a day at B&N, Ross, shopped for headphones, capris, and nude heels with red soles, I arrived home and my dad got the mail. My F21 order came just in time! I was so worried it wouldn't make it before saturday, which was the pageant i had to go to and wear a dress. Anyways, here are the things i bought. The rusty shirt turned out nicer than i thought - loose off shoulder boho top; pink floral romper/dress was a little loose but i definitely love it! It didn't come with the belt, so i added that in and i got a gold layered necklace to wear it with. I also adore the lace tights - definitely a better quality than my other 5 tights, and real comfortable.

So earlier: went hiking in the morning, mocha coolata from dunkin donuts, mini family gathering at my place, shower and ready from 12-3:00pm. Cousin's house around 5pm, pizza before leaving for the Ms. Asia-Arizona Pageant. Met AC, screamed for #1 HL, and #4 MM - absolutely gorgeous. laughters and crushes on #4. disturbing old contestants, and performers (belly dancing ladies), miss flirt on the side blehhh, pictures. It was fun. Loved watching #4. Hahhh creep.

I'm Tired

I usually don't care too much or maybe I just block it out of my head, but it seems that tonight, reality slapped me hard. everything is just crashing down on me. though I try to always act calm and look at the brighter side, it just sucks to realize a lot of things. and it's always at night too - when I think too deeply. I'm still waiting on my EAD card to renew my license, I haven't been able to drive anywhere since it only lasted for a month. and my parents didn't even let me drive during those few weeks. I'm so frustrated. I haven't been to dance for a month now and I've been so upset but I dont show it at all. I don't want to push it. cuz if I kept asking, I know they'll end up not letting me dance at all. dance was my only relief, to forget bout all the stress and drama but it's taken from me. along with people that stress me out even more. I don't know why, but I'm really tired of this certain person at school. I mean, I feel bad that she thinks I'm her bestfriend but that's not how I see it at all. and then theres an even more irritating two-faced person. I honestly don't even care about you, and what you do. you're fake and spoiled and I'm tired of all your bullshit. I'm just so upset. I start to doubt myself and have a really low self esteem. and no one seems to like me, I don't feel worth it at all. I know that isn't true but that's how it feels right now. I'm tired.

It's a lace day

September 29, 2010 (Happy birthday to my brother O)
 
I wore my cream lace top with a mustard skirt, gold and teal owl necklace, and brown oxford-ish boots over dark brown socks. Wavy hair, yellow purse, and round vintage sunglasses. ENG101 in the morning, had my professor check my rough draft (Cause & Effect paper and mine was about my addiction to shopping and clothes - how ironic) and his only comment, once again, was ‘Excellent, great details, nice title, great thesis, nice topic’ over and over again, but he never gives me a 100 for my final paper. Anyways, after that, i sat by the benches again in front of my next class and BY comes, followed by GR (she was wearing a nice black lace dress!) then GC (who was also wearing a loose top with lace shoulder detail?) All 3 of us had lace type of clothes on. Then GR goes on about how she absolutely loves my outfit. Its funny ‘cause we were talking yesterday about how we loved vintage clothing, and here we are today with lace-type clothing. MATH150, prof handed out our tests and i absolutely expected that. He wrote a note on my take home test saying "if i find out that you allowed another student to look at your work, you will get a zero on this test!!" and whenever he corrects a problem, he'd put so much exclamation points. so i can basically hear him screaming in my head. the fuuuh. it's quite ironic though because my on my in-class test, i had the highest score in class; second highest for the take home (which a lot of people failed btw). oh well. i just laugh at how my prof hates me, when i do so well in that class. ate lunch and worked out at the gym after. aunt picked me up and took me to my brother and cousins' taekwondo class. me and JG sat and watched. the taekwondo teacher kept talking and asking me questions though. until he asked me to try the class, and join them. whuuuut. i just sat saying i didnt want to. but the pressure was all on me since he was disrupting the class while talking to me. so i joined them, i kick pretty hard so that was nice. double workout today. just in time for the Ms. Asia-Arizona pageant this saturday.

It's how you look at things

September 28, 2011

And i thought college couldn’t get any better.. Well, its not that great. I’m flooded with lab reports, essays, tests, and chemistry lectures that pass right through my head. But I’ve decided to be optimistic and look at the brighter things in life. Sure, I’m still upset, stressed, and disappointed but there are little things that make my day. These past few days were great! Seeing old high school friends, making new friends, and long chit-chats. Hanging out on the benches while waiting for our next class to start: like me and a bunch of my friends are gathered in that one area like we own it haha. hilarious jock guy who makes a good impersonation of our math teacher, and who overreacts his stories. love it! library, tutor GR, and we end up talking about our similar addiction to shopping! i can’t believe we had so much in common (cant stand scary movies, likes shopping alone most of the time, feels pressured or rushed when with friends at the mall, likes vintage clothing, looks online for clothes, can spend a whole day in f21..) yeah. you get the picture.

ENG101: chitchats about tv shows, annoying girl who doesn’t know what ‘to go in order’ means, hilarious teacher who thinks my rough drafts are excellent (3 papers in a row!)

MATH150: i’m starting to know a bunch of people there. just laughing to myself while my professor hates on me because i had my phone out one time - just to look at the review guide for that class. then he makes a big deal out of it and writes a note on the grade page online. i still do good in that class. sit right in front, i only talk when he’s not there, and participate. and i dont know if its because im asian, but everyone seems to come to me for help in that class. after our first test, a few asked how i did randomly; before turning in the take home test, i was crowded with people. they know it too, just making sure i got the same answer they did..its pretty funny.

CHM151: hard class that i just cant seem to process the lecture in my brain. funny chitchats with RH; group members; short guy with awesome style that i would randomly make eye contact too..

CHM151LL: oh that class is always interesting. my two group members make it so, and so does the group on the opposite side of the table with us. im pretty sure we’re the loudest table too, and almost too often, the last to finish. JR, AL sure make some hilarious comebacks. we’re all girls while the group across our side of table are all guys. one of ‘em is filipino too who always wear a type of pacquiao shirt. haha. and i dont know why, but i always know for sure that i wont get a good grade in the lab or in class quiz but so far, it’s been the opposite!

You got me

The fact that I crossed your mind
Is enough to make me happy.
 ------------------------
Why are you so close to me whenever i’m with you, but you dont even make the effort to talk to me when i’m not. I hate it. I hate you. But whenever you appear, i just fall all over again. You scared me, surprised me, made me laugh a billion times, gave me the longest hug ever, said sweet words, made excuses to hold my hand. I didn’t come, you asked about me, you came, gave me a hug, talked a little, and left. I try to ignore you because im sure you havent thought of me for even a second. I dont want to think about you but i just do. I can’t help it. I try so hard to forget but you made such a big impact in my life. I hate you. I saw you again, but this time, i didn’t even want to look at you.
-------------------------
Why can't you just tell me how you feel, because how you act is confusing me.

I feel like I'm waiting for something that isn't going to happen.
-------------------------
Even though i’ve stopped liking you, everytime someone mentions your name, my head turns right towards them. It’s like every time i hear it, I think of all we could of had, all that could of happened but didn’t.

I don’t care. I won’t care. I shouldn’t care. Can you please just stop appearing in my life? Let’s move on, to a world where you don’t care, and i won’t either.

-------------------------

Can you stop appearing in my life already? I hate falling for you everytime i see you, yet i know it goes nothing from there, we go nothing from there, you forgot about us. And you just walk in like you’re the king of the world, not knowing that there’s this hopeless girl just waiting for you. I hate how you do whatever it is you feel like it. Ok, go and give me a hug, but all i wish is that you don’t hear that sound when my heart skips a beat. I hate this. I haaaaate you.

-------------------------

You were never supposed to mean this much to me; I was never supposed to fall so hard. But you know what? I did and that's the truth, that's what keeps me holding on because it hurts like hell to let you go. 
-------------------------

The week of dejection

September 17-19, 2011

Woke up this morning feeling a certain uneasiness. Maybe it’s because this day marks the end of dancing at the JB for me - for now at least. I hate this feeling. I just hate it. I understand what they’re trying to say, my mind gets it, but my heart just can’t take it. I don’t know what to do anymore, what to say to them. There’s this evolution AIDS dance workshop today at 12:30, and the cool thing is, its here in lake pleasant pkwy peoria - literally 10-15 minutes away from my place and he doesn’t even want me to go. First they tell me that HHI would be the last, then this church event, but they already told me not to go tonight. And my dad clearly doesn’t know what ‘workshop’ means. He kept going on and on about how a ‘workshop’ is just the basics, that i don’t need to take it. My gosh, its a class. And i need to learn so much more.

I’m upset. But this won’t be the end. Maybe when they actually let me drive by myself, I know I’ll be back.

Rewinding the clock

So a lot has happened during the 18 years of my life and I can't write every single important moment no matter how much I want to. But I do want to remember some so I'll list down the ones that made me who I am today.

• Born in the Philippines and lived there my whole life til I moved to the US in 2007.
• Went to a small charter kindergarten 'Casa Dei Montessorri' - I would say the best school years ever.
• Moved to 'OLGM', from prep to 3rd grade. I was pretty crazy then - best friends, boyish, popular, lots of crushes, confessions.
• Moved to an all girls school 'SHS' from 4th grade to freshman of high school. Drama the first 2 years in there, great school and great friends, and i now just realize that i took advantage of those friendship.
• Moved to the US, freshman in high school (again) at 'WCHS' theatre, dance, stalkers, goths, computer class. oh man.
• Moved to a different city (from a house to an apartment to another house) to 'SDOHS' from sophomore year to senior year. theatre, spanish, friends, asians, junior year, awkward, homecoming, state fair, movies, mall, zoo, senior year, library, half day, prom, best friends, yogurtology, burgerking.
• Outside of school: cousins, family friends, parties, california, reunion, church, shopping, piano/guitar/ukulele
• Halloween, waldo, long hugs, high fives, Castles & Coasters (game, hands, talks), lake pleasant, jetski, volunteer, just dance 2, permit and a long wait for my license, graduation, ukulele, sanfran, social networks, video chats, iphone4, fempro dance company in gilbert, jukebox dance studio, boogiedabeat, performances, auditions, beat killaz, practice all summer, vegas for 1 week for hiphop international 2011, netflix, late night talks, bonding, piano, scared, crowded in the bed, squished in the car, after parties, weird press, food, sleep at 4am, wake up at noon. i miss that week.
• license expired a week before college started at GCC, classes, new and old friends, too much essays, lab reports, tests.

hahh that was a very rough summary of 18 years. wow. im sure i skipped a lot. but clearly, my while life has been all about moving, I've adapted pretty quick, constantly trying new things on the way.

Thursday is my new Friday

Thursday is like my new ‘friday’. And its a 4-day weekend this week so instead of finishing my lab report, i felt like writing on here instead. ugh i’ll regret this.

So this is whats up. It’s sad to say that SC has been on my nerves lately, and i have MATH150 with her every day of the week in college. It’s just that i don’t like unnecessary side conversations when class is going on, especially when the teacher explains it so well already (no need for silly obvious questions) and attention whores are a big pet peeve of mine. I try not to let it get to our friendship but we are honest around each other, and she can tell whether or not I’m irritated by it. We still laugh afterwards so i would say that all is well.
My classes are going well, except for the load of paperwork and studying i have to do. But the people are great.

ENG101: My friend from highschool, SS is there and i get along well with the girl i sit next too. We crack jokes, and play games on our phones haha. I’ve also finsihed my first Process Paper essay and I chose a topic that I’ve been wanting to write about, so much to say but it was hard to even begin - and finish for that matter. But i made it, and it seems like my english professor liked it.

MATH150: i thought this was going to be an exciting class because SC would be there with me, but damn it’s just annoying at times, im sorry. And I’ve been learning the lesson for 4 years now and it’s all just repetitive. Nonetheless, the professor teaches it well and it’ll be a breeze. Also, quite a few people dress so nice - including the people that just pass by this room before class. I've been inspired.


CHM151: So the most awkward guy i’ve known in highschool has that class with me. Its just so weird because i literally cut all my connections with him. Never again but damn, why did this happen? I avoided him and so im sure he got the message. So anyways, this guy sat beside me since the first day in that class and i decided to talk to him just this wednesday. I told him we had a quiz that day and it carried on to what highschool we went to, how everyone had the same calculators, and other nonrelated stuff. it was cool.

CHM151LL: This is my lab class and everyone’s pretty comfortable around each other - my group table especially. Before class, this girl started talking to me about the quiz and all - while i had absolutely no idea what was going on, the teacher even made me change because we had to wear shirt and pants. anyways, these 2 nice girls are in my group, one just moved from wisconsin and you can still hear her accent, and the other one is very smart and sweet! While doing our labs, the filipino guy in my table was wearing his pacman shirt and he came up by the sink (where i was) i complimented his shirt and we started talking. His partner was hilarious and it was just a good time. Im going to like this class, minus the lab reports.
Outside of class, i usually hang out with my highschool friends and its great. Oh and I saw MN this thursday morning and i freaked. i knew he was going to GCC but i didn’t see him around til today! Haha hope i’ll be seeing him more often.

I'm not fond of asking

razelle. pronounced as 'rey-zel'.
but you can call me honeybee. no im kidding. call me a daydreamer.
a college student with a baby face. shorty and brace face.
a lover of music, theatre, dance, and clothes.
piano/guitar/ukulele player. indie, boho. acoustic and electric.
a smiling sweetheart - sometimes real and often a pretense.

slowly finding myself everyday. thanking God for all my blessings and learning to pass those on.

I've started journals and blogs before but i never seem to keep up with it. so this might turn into just one of those.

Mesa Sleepover

July 10 - 11, 2011
Last minute plans work out the most.
HHI practice from 6-9pm Sunday night. After dropping me off at AZ Edge Dance Studio, my dad went straight to airport, mom picked me up, helped out SR get home, his bike fit our car, 30 minutes farther, then finally arrived at KD’s house. Haven’t seen them in the longest time and i was so excited. When i got there, we had a group hug, warned them that i was sweaty and gross, they were watching a suspense gory movie called Frozen, showed me the nasty parts, blehhh. We talked a lot - people, life, problems, gossips, and guys; mattress with lots of pillows and blankets in their living room, webcam pictures, chocolate wasted, pillow fights, laughs. We fell asleep around 2 or 3. The next day, we ate hot pockets for breakfast, cleaned up, her dogs tigger and snuggles came! Step-brothers were also there, pictures with this gigantic stuffed bear and dog. Helped KD make a facebook! Watched a bit of true blood, spaghetti for lunch, truth or dare, funny, costa rica souvenir. Her parents dropped me off at dance around 7:30. I miss them already. But dance is always fun, and a lot of hard work. The bathing suit of life is here… Oh god, raerae.

Last days of High School

May 18 - 20, 2011
We barely even study for finals in my class.
English - we just watched The Lion King, which is an all time favorite movie of mine.
Math (2 classes) - eh, sit talk with friends
Anatomy - full on review guides and all hour studying
Then after school, talk with friends, take pictures, sign yearbooks, walk to BK and yogurtology.
May 19th - I had my Discrete Math and Anatomy finals. The test seemed pretty easy, but they were computer tests - and for some reason, i never do great on those. Guhh. I got a B in both my Math and Anatomy final - not good enough i suppose.
May 20th - English, Discrete Math Written Final, and College Algebra Final. English was pretty easy; the written for DM was ok - not the easiest but whatever; College Algebra was all sorts of things. It was easy for the most part but some were just mind boggling. We also didn’t have a lot of time to finish so we stayed 15 minutes after the bell to continue. Hmph, i was supposed to meet up with MC to sign yearbooks, KD to talk about afterschool plans, and all the other people to take pictures. What a horrible end of the day. I didn’t get to say bye to a lot of people. So depressing. Then my aunt unexpectedly picked me up, we had to drop GC off at the community college, we had to rush back home ‘cause my aunt had an appointment and so on. Oh well, at least today, i get to eat fancy dinner with my girls (cousins) for my graduation celebration.

Fancy Shmancy Dinner

May 20, 2011
Early Graduation Dinner @ Melting Pot with my adorable cousins. My aunt is the sweetest too.
Wore my floral skirt, beige tank, a cardigan over it, and my black pumps. Drove to RE’s house at 3:30, watched tangled, left at 5:30 to the restaurant. My aunt dropped us off and gave us a $100 gift certificate - woahh. The place was dimly lit, tables were secluded, and we were probably the youngest people ever to go in by ourselves. So anyways, ordered our food, drinks, cooked with the melting pot, ate our delicious desert/fondue, and took a lot of pictures, along with lots of laughs. Fun girls night out for my graduation.
