Why do I love him? I love that he thinks of me constantly, yet he gives me enough space to grow as my own person. I love that he understands me and accepts all the quirky things about me, from my crazy excitement for things to my burst of randomness. I love that he listens to all my frustrations and endless stories without ever complaining. I love that we hardly have problems, but when we do, we take the time to work it out quickly. I love that he is interested in and fully supports me and my dreams. I love that he’s so clever and keeps me laughing all the time. I love that he still does the little things that made me fall for him, like opening the door for me and constantly pulling me in closer to keep me warm.
What I love most about us? We’re so comfortable with and around each other. Love isn’t about finding the right person, it’s about building the right relationship. And I’m glad that he’s still crazy about me, and I’m still crazy about him.
Love is sweet. :)

02/26 New Bambu
I feel like my life is a constant repetition of life, life, and more life. But today, I got to hang out with the boy for a little bit! He wanted to take me out to try a new boba place, and I needed him to help me with one of my case studies.. so it was perfect! We went to this place in Milpitas called New Bambu. It’s a dainty little Vietnamese boba shop that serves boba, Vietnamese desserts, and banh mi! Unfortunately, when I do carry cash, I only have the right amount for one boba drink, so I couldn’t buy any Vietnamese sandwiches for home. Sadface!
(By the way, I think I blog a lot less now because I used to blog a lot about my food adventures, but now that I write on Yelp, I don’t need to write about that stuff on here anymore!)
The taro milk tea was delicious, and they also put in taro chunks which were yummy! And without fail, the boy always goes into Snorlax mode when he hangs out with me. I’m not that boring, right!? We ended up playing Family Feud together, and I think we’re kind of hooked. This may be bad..
Like I told pbaby Jennie, I haven’t really been posting a lot on Tumblr compared to before, but I haven’t put my finger on why that is exactly! It’s probably cause I’m posting more on my Instagram and Twitter about my daily musings so I don’t feel the need to blab more about my life here. However, I am keeping up with my weekly wedding picks on Wordpress. So if you want to see my favorite wedding on the week, check it out! See? I haven’t been slacking too much on my blogging.
Chris comes back from New York tomorrow night, and I’m pretty excited. He’s only been gone for about a week, but for some reason it feels like forever today! The first few days went by fast because I was out and about everywhere. But after a long day (especially a Monday, bleh!), I just want to be able to grab some boba with him or go over to watch our TV shows.
You’d think that I’d be used to this long distance thing since we did it for a year and a few months.. but I don’t think anyone can be that used to long distance. It’s just a level harder doing the whole West Coast and East Coast long distance because of the time difference. I know, I know, it’s only three hours.. but it’s just a bit difficult trying to find time that’s convenient for both of us. That, and since he is there with his close friends, I don’t want to bother him too much because I know they have a lot of things planned.
I guess it’s true - New York really is the “City that Never Sleeps.” Chris and his friends go out and get home after I’m soundly asleep. (By the way, the latest I crawl into bed is 1am. Do the math, they’re out until 4am most nights.) Yesterday, I was struggling to stay awake at 3am cause I was texting Chris.. but eventually gave up and passed out like the true grandma that I am. They slept a while after me. Crazy! But then again, I’ve never pulled an all-nighter before, so I was never one to stay up late just for fun.
I remember back when Chris would tell me how he’d like to live and work in New York once again, and I’d always semi-freak out. Because quite honestly, I don’t think I’m cut out for a West Coast to East Coast long distance thing. I’m totally down to do the NorCal to SoCal long distance thing again. (One, because I can totally do the 6 hour drive alone without complaining. And two, because I just love love love SoCal, so I never minded visiting and such.) But to New York? Hm, 6 hour drive versus a three hour time difference. Yeah, I’m kind of on the fence about that one.
Anyways, I don’t even know why I’m spilling things that won’t matter for a few months (at least). It’s probably cause I’m just sitting here waiting for Hulu to upload the new episodes of Pretty Little Liars, Smash, The Bachelor, The Voice, The Lying Game, and Gossip Girl. I literally ran out of TV shows to watch today, so I decided to check out Celebrity Apprentice. Man, I thought I’m pretty knowledgeable about celebrities.. but I don’t know half the people on that show! But the show is whatever - I’m kind of over it already.
Just trying to keep my Tumblr personal cause, yaknow, that’s what I like to see in other people’s Tumblrs. :)
(Whew! Kay, I’m done rambling.)
02/14 Valentine’s Day
Chris got me this adorable card for Valentine’s Day! I was kind of embarrassed to give him the card I picked out for him afterwards.. :X
02/06 Satisfying my doughnuts craving!
One of my current big assignments for Occasions is this article on the midnight snack trend at weddings and events - hot dogs, hamburgers, and doughnuts. I’ve been more focused on the doughnuts part because I interviewed the chef at this popular doughnut shop, Sublime Doughnuts, in Atlanta, Georgia. I swear, every time I work on this assignment, I get the biggest craving for doughnuts. It’s the worst.. cause then I can’t focus on getting my writing done since all I’m thinking about is biting into a fresh doughnut with glaze that will melt in my mouth.
My first draft is due tomorrow.. so I while I was proofreading my work, that intense craving came back. I tell Chris, and surprisingly, he said, “Let’s go to Krispy Kreme!” I say surprisingly cause Chris never eats sweets. When we go out, he just watches me stuff my face with cakes, mochis, ice cream, frozen yogurt.. you name a dessert, I eat it. He, on the other hand, doesn’t touch anything sweet. So this gesture was pretty sweet. :) It’s all about the little things!
I haven’t been to Krispy Kreme in days, but it’s always exciting to see their “factory.” I felt like a little kid on a field trip.. learning about how doughnuts are made, hah! I guess as I got older, I can’t consume as much sweet as I used to.. cause I felt defeated after eating one glazed doughnut. One! We drove all the way to Union City for these babies, and I was done after one. :(
