My favourite drink is bubble tea

I borrowed a few DS games from a friend. I played the first Ace Attorney game and finished the first case in 5-10 minutes! I’m not sure if it was just super easy or if I am just good. It’s probably just easy.
I am proud of myself. I took a full course load (five courses) and on top of that, did lab work as a Psych research assistant, held the title of Vice President Internal of an international psychology honours society, and mentored a child on a weekly basis. I woke up at 6 AM every Monday to Friday and one of my classes ended at 8 PM. That’s not what I’m really proud of, though. Lol. I have my final grades for all my courses this term and I didn’t get anything lower than an A-. I’m proud that I did well on top of all of those extracurricular activities. Some days I got four hours of sleep because I had to study. u_u
Remember my Bubble Tea review post? I would like to make a couple of changes! Firstly, Little Tea House in Metrotown – I did give it a poor review and I don’t regret it. I never sugar coat my reviews. HOWEVER — one of my close friends went there recently and said that the bubble tea taste improved a lot. They renovated the place and I think it’s worth giving a second chance! I know I’ll be going there again to see for myself.
Secondly… Big Orange in Metrotown – I didn’t talk about this bubble tea place much in that blog post so I’ll talk about it here. It used to be my favourite bubble tea place in Metrotown. Unfortunately, I had a poor experience there. The manager was highly unprofessional and I don’t see myself going there in the near future. Of course, this is only specific to the Metrotown location so I’ll still be going to their other franchise locations. You know me guys… I am generally pretty nice but I will say something if I feel like it. I do what I want on my blog!

I did not expect my last post to be so popular, so I decided to blog again in the same style.
My friend and I went to a Korean salon after class and got hair cuts together. The hairdressers were young and pretty.
We ate kim bap for lunch and then got bubble tea at a nearby bubble tea shop. The app is called SNOW in case you were curious.

Here’s a playlist of instrumental songs I like. It’s not all of them because so many songs are not on SoundCloud. It’s a mix of sad/battle music/music box/violin/piano/everything. I find that instrumental songs are good for doing homework.
I wonder if Izaya Orihara from Drrr likes taro bubble tea..? Would he like the tapioca pearls?
EDIT: I went back and changed the drawing. I added the background and a table.

I watched One Piece Film: Gold.Β It was awesome! It was really funny and Robin made hand puns. Brook made alive jokes again and Zoro was as strongΒ as ever! Also Lucci and Spandam made their appearance which made me so happy. The message of the film (from my interpretation) is that gold/money can’t buy you everything. Friendship is more important!

Excited to eat ramen!
Time for bingsu!!!
January 17
California roll and miso soup. Yay
January 19
Bubble tea after class! I got roasted milk tea
One Piece is one of my favourite anime because of the friendship the Straw Hat pirate crew have. As I was thinking of this, I thought about my own crew. During the school year, I see my friends almost everyday, but here are some of the times we ate foodΒ together.
2014
I didn’t start eating out with my friends until near the end of Term 1 of first year University. We gotΒ Qoola and Menchies around campus to celebrate hard work and the end of Econ 101.
2015
In Term 2 of firstΒ year, we tried out Bubble Waffle CafeΒ near campus.
We also got drinks every Friday for our Econ 102 discussion. One of the places we went to wasΒ Tim Hortons. My friends got the drinks because I had class before discussion. We also did this in Term 1.Β ForΒ V’s 19th birthday, we went to Kyo Korean BBQ and Sushi House.
Summer 2015
During the summer after first year, we tried to meet up a lot. I couldn’t make it to a lot of the hang outs, but here are two I went to. We went to Cactus Club and Mimibuloveme.
September 2015
In Year 2, we hung out a lot more so I can post photos for every month. Before school started, there was an event held by one of the clubs. Since my friends were leaders for the clubs, I signed up for the event. Even though I didn’t get my friends as my leaders, I had fun. Three of us went to Blenz nearΒ campus.
On the bus ride home from school on a different day, I had another bad experience with creepy men. I was still upset the next day but A bought me a drink from Tim Hortons on campus to cheer me up.
October 2015
For my 19th birthday, we went to Kyo. Cotton candy was being handed out on campus so we got some.
November 2015
We decided to try out fried chicken at Flipside at our school, UBC, for the first time. Later that day we got Starbucks on campus. A, G, and I decided to make Fridays our food days so we went to Danbo for ramen.
December 2015
We celebrated the holidays by eating out at Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef Noodle. V treated us toΒ cream puffs at Beard Papa’s later that day. We were on our winter break during this time.
January 2016
We went to Shishinori to celebrate A’s 20th birthday. Later that month we went to Banana Leaf to celebrate J’s 20th birthday.
February 2016
We went to Seoul CafeΒ to celebrate G’s 20th birthday. We also had dim sum at Western Lake Chinese Seafood Restaurant on a weekendΒ morning.
March 2016
A, G, and I got free pocky on campus. The crew and I went to Red Robins.
April 2016
A, G, and I went shopping for J’s birthday gifts (different J) but we made a stop at Starbucks. The next day, we went to Morak Korean Restaurant to celebrate J’s 20th birthday.
On the last day of Year 2, we went to Pearl Fever Tea House nearΒ campus to celebrate. During our summer break, we went to Snowy Village for bingsu.
May 2016
We went to Chau Veggie Express to celebrate V’s 20th birthday. Later that day we went to Off the Grid Waffles.
June 2016
Summer school started for A, J, V, and C. I didn’t have summer school but I did have to go to campus for my lab. A, J, and I went to Pearl Fever.
When G got her N for driving, weΒ went to Sekai Udon Bar to celebrate. On another day on campus, my friends and I got bubble tea at the new place. We got the drinks on the first day it was served. We also went to Panda night market and got different foods. We also had shaved ice from Icy Bar.
It’s almost the end of July and I haven’t seen my friends much this month. We were going to eat but I was too ill so it was cancelled. Two of my crew members are out of the country right now but we will see each other more when they come back.
Before I became friends with the crew, I had not gone to most of these restaurants before. It’s kind of like Luffy’s crew. If it weren’t for Luffy, the Straw HatsΒ probably wouldn’t have travelled to so many islands.

This is a song I can listen on repeat and just relax~ I think I want to spend the day inside tomorrow because I really like spending time with my family. On Tuesday my mom and I ate at a pho restaurant and then we watched the Sherlock special episode on Netflix.Β I love food.
