Los Angeles Hang Outs



Hello lovessss

Like I told you in my last post that I'm in LA!
Volunteering at Downtown LA Film Festival that just ended in mid Jul and hanging around taking some dance class and traveling!




Of course, traveling is my favourite thing on earth! hehe



So I'm here to guide you to some nice place in Lala Land ;)




First off

One of my favourite place in Los Angeles, I've come here several times including last year that I was soooo free hanging around alone in LA. This place called The Grove, it's around West LA 









The Grove is a very very nice place to be at, especially in the evening
When the sunlight started to fade away they have the best lighting in town!!


There are many stores here you going to love. Some standard shopping stores like Topshop, Nike, Forever21, Madewell, Anthropology, J.Crew, Michael Cors, other shops like Barnes and Nobles and the big mall: Nordstorm, including the huge Farmers Market!









There's also a cinema and many restaurants that are perfectly amazing!


Don't forget to stop by the famous Sprinkle Cupcakes too!









So this time, before moving into an apartment, my friends and I rented this room in Downtown LA for 4 days staying before we confirmed with the landlord and move to Marina Del Rey. 

I personally don't really like downtown LA but this apartment has one of the fine view overlook the downtown so it's kinda cool in a way.












Moving on to the next eating place!
I fell in love with this restaurant since last year that I've tried it for the first time<3


This place called The Little Next Door, located on 3rd street. It has a very nice and cozy atmosphere with the best white fish plate in town! 

It only serve in the morning and afternoon, don't miss it!















The salmon plate is also very nice!! 









XXI knit, Yves Saint purple lipstick



Oh and if you crave for dessert there are this two amazing place nearby on the same street:
Fônuts and Caramela Ice Cream

Fônuts has gluten free donuts, donuts and homemade ice cream that are very very nice! 
and Caramela Ice Cream specialise in the amazing homemade icecream, if you're a caramel head like I am I suggest you order salted caramel because it's phenomenal! 



Speaking of ice cream!


MILK




Don't get confused why I suddenly say milk.. lol
Milk is the best best best ice cream place in LA. <3

There's a lot of amazing ice cream places in Los Angeles but of course, Milk got to be on the list!


This place located on Beverly blvd and you better be there early.
Every time I go to milk there's a long line dragged out of the store, and I tell you, every.time.

But I don't know about early evening though because I always go there when dark hehehe :p







They are famous for their ice cream macaron.
Just like in the picture!

And as a caramel head, you can totally guess what flavor I got :p


Don't let them ice cream macaron fools you, because you have to try their blue velvet cake too!







And speaking of being in LA. one must visit LACMA
aka. Los Angeles County Museum of Art
so I took my friends there just for the sake of taking photos


I mean,
is there any other reason people go there instead of taking photos?
maybe like hanging around ..?








I don't really get the point though.

I've been to LACMA for like ..6 times so something.
They said lanterns like this symbolise the modern and urbanism but it's just so ironic compare to how LA freeway lacks of light...

I mean,
you'll never gonna drive anywhere darker than LA freeway.. and I mean it,
maybe they could take some of them out and place it on the roads.. Lol






And if you're visiting LACMA, bring some sweater because with some reason I've not known, it's sooooo cold there, it's like the coldest point in Los Angeles lol



Have a great week my loves,

B

The Bay #1




Welcome to the post on Saaaan Francisco!


Before I jump into all interesting places and yummy food I have to tell you guys my freaky flight experience first! So.. my flight leaving Orlando to Dallas was fine. A little bit delayed but I made it to Dallas to change the plane and come to SFO. 





Bad luck, my seat was in the last roll of the plane and if any of you had ever sit there you'd know how scary it is to sit in the back of an airplane.. I once sit there going to somewhere I couldn't remember but it was so clear to me that the flight was madly scary. 


Even more bad luck, not to me to be specific.. there was a gentleman (I suppose) on the plane who was sick and need medical attention immediately. The doctor on a plane insist to help him which was very nice but nothing seems to get better so mr.Pilot and his crew decided to land for this guy to be taken to hospital. 

Unfortunately, we have to land in New Mexico and the desert storm and wind was so heavy that the plane shakes as the food cart slide and hit the freaking wall. I was terrified. The plane shakes like a wet puppy.. I'm not exaggerate this point at all, my mother and I was praying like a priest at that time.. And we landed in New Mexico Airforce Base some type of place.. they refill the engine and we took of to our destination.






Okay!
San Francisco here I come!



After checked in at Best Western the Hotel California in downtown san francisco. If you want to know my comment on the hotel.. I would love to advice you to stay in other place.. Downtown SF is a nice place, but the hotel.. I think there are a lot of better choices out there. I couldn't even remember why I booked this place.. 




YSL men. New era Los Angeles King. Converse.






So. we came out to have our very first meal in The Bay! Comforting myself, I choose the decent restaurant called The Grill.










First two were my friend's and my mom's
( Filet and Trout)
and another one is my PorkShop! 





This is a small Japanese place nearby our hotel which my mother just suddenly pointed out and we went in. It turn out fine, Japanese taste in American style, I didn't expect much.







The place on Geary Street, in the block between Taylor st. and Mason st.
It turned out to be a very popular restaurant because everything I walked passed wether afternoon or at night there'll always be people waiting to be seated outside.









This is pretty much every morning of my trip in San Francisco.. 
Well, after being so busy in the East Coast, I would love to calm down and spend my lazy time on a bed blogging to you guys :D










In the picture you see me randomly posing in front of a weird red sign.. It's actually an Academy of Art University which contact me twice or more a month inviting me to join their conference or apply as a student.. Which is kinda cool..



At first I was shocked because from the book they sent me, I thought the campus is huge and not a building type college.. but after I while I got shocked even more because no matter how far in the Bay I travel I can see Academy of Art University campus everywhere!


so crazy..








At the time I was there, SF has such a weird weather.. I have to check every single minute.. maybe hour.. Lol. I have to check over and over again to see if each day going to be hot or cold. sunny or rainy. like California style or London style.


Some day it got pretty cold in the morning and out of the blue I have to go back to my hotel to change into tank top.. Strange huh?






This is our first French meal in the whole trip!









This place is very nice!
Staffs are so good. According to Yelp and maps, the review is pretty amazing too. The area inside is pretty small but location was no less than perfect. It's a french place called Cafe De La Presse directly opposite the Dragon Gate (China Town)












This big thing is mine dish. It look kinda creepy I know and it sounds creepy too if I tell you. 
Yes, it's a raw beef.

It tastes interesting.
Not that raw beef I normally eat in the Korean food genre. This is new to me but it was positive.




I'll come back for more on SF soon guys!
I'm out of UCLA campus now too!! I have more time and surely, more shopping now as well and Im sure I'll do a haul for today's shop at XXI for you guys! It was amazing! x

Orlando wrap



Hello folks!


my camp passed for a whole week already! 
Only 5 days left.. this is kinda too quick somehow I wanted to stay a bit longer.. 
sounds so strange!


I'm here to give you guys a wrap on my 4days in Orlando





First of a very all:
The trip started off roughly..
Like. real rough..

According to the staffs at DC airport, my tickets agency doesn't seems to get this particular ticket confirmed so it went cancel automatically.. and that means we don't have to tickets to Orlando..!!

I was literally shocked and so really ready to kick my agency in the face. My mother and I had to buy new tickets right there in the airport and wait for 5 hours because our orignal flight was totally full.. but it went out okay. Thanks to mr.Staff of the US Airways. The two man were so helping and kind, they got me and mom through clearly. Thank you sooooo much eventhough I am 100 percent sure you both are not playing blogger and reading blogs but I really do want to give you a wireless hug and a shoutout! Weeeheeeee<3<3<3




That was rough but then I got to my lovely hotel










I was staying in Hilton Vacation Suites at Seaworld. 
I highly recommend this place, it is amazzzzing! 


The room was awesome, food is good, environment and services are just incredible!!




After stayed in that day, we went to Universal Studio.
It was madly hot.. like FLORIDA HOT..

That would probably be the best to explain how burning everything was.. 













Something weird about me is that I am a kind of girl who doesn't really capable of being in a themed park.. I mean like. I can be there, yes, all day and night, but I'm just doing nothing.. 












So warning is that, no one should go to the amusement park with me alone because I will bore you to death. I can barely play a thing because I'm super scared of heights according to my Great Wall of China experience when I was 9 years old.. and natural conditions, I just get dizzy so easy.. As easy that I almost hated myself!





So yea, that's the thing.











Though, I enjoy walking around and taking picture a lot. And this Marvel land just amazed the crap out of me.. Well, saving the best at last. Out of Marvel I still got myself into one geek obsession that is truly Geek but I never freaking shame of :p



Its Harry Potter babyyyyyyyyy









It's just so crazy in Hogsmeade!
All the shops, candies, trains and butterbear is sooo unreal.

This is a super big deal for me you can obviously see hahahahhahaa











So I couldn't help but went up in one of the rides. 
I took the castle one since my friend said it was completely amazing and it's absolutely true. This ride is just speechlessly amazing. Despite how it makes me feel sick as much as I couldn't do anything else but walk out of the themed park I am still happy I went on it :D











Mother and I took half of the day off later from we got back. I watching Criminal Minds in the room eating hotel's pizza and it started to rain.. It rains every freaking day in Orlando I can confirm you. So weird but locals told me it how it is at the time.



Next day, I spent a morning lazily in our lovely hotel and went out for the famous Mexican food and Taco in Downtown Orlando.. One thing I can tell you about downtown Orlando is that.. It was hot like crazy.. few shades and super quiet as it wasn't a downtown at all! 


After that, we stopped by at Lake Eola.
It was really pretty





Another thing is that taxis are incredibly hard to find.. 


We walked like almost half an hour around downtown orlando until we find one..






One weird fact about me: I LOVE RIPLEY

hahahhahah random right
but I really do though, I love Ripley's Museum sooo much! 
It's super childish I know but it's so entertaining and actually educating at the same time. I love reading facts on Twitter and this is probably the same kind of thing just it is an actual museum.






And Ripley here is pretty amazing because they got the famous bending building that's in the top 10 weirdest building in the world!










After Ripley we stopped by for Wallgreen Shopping and yes you guys do know how much I love drugstore shopping and Grocery shopping. This time I only got few because I can control myself! Lol




and Ice-cream always a fine choice anytime any day! and I'm just so happy to get these three lovely ice cream babies<3










The second last day is the day in Disney World Resort!








This place amazed me out of my mind!

Well, strangely, not how magical it was... but how big and grand it is.. 
I was wondering all the time how much money they spent on creating all of this and also how much money they earn everyday! so crazy!












But still, it has its own magic and makes everyone in there so happy and cheerful

I'd love to stay here all day all night if Florida's sun isn't burning that much that I felt like I was going to melt away to the atmosphere!












Original Disney Castle baby!










I had a great time and guess what?!



Ice-creammmmm!!!!
Its just never going to be enough or no time for ice-cream for me! <3











After 4 days burning myself in Orlando, Florida I hopped on a plane to San Francisco..
There's some event happening on the plane and scared the hell out of me and I swear.. This is not a simple story. It's a tale to be told, and I swear I'm going to tell this until I die


Not to miss my babies, stay tuned!!









Tale will soon come!

<3
