I've been so lucky to meet the awesomest of friends! For my birthday, Christy and her Mom took me out for food and movies. I also had my boyfriend around. We all went to Irvine Spectrum!
I can't believe that I actually didn't take any food photos during the trip. I guess I was just so hungry to pay attention to anything else. XD But yeah, we had yummy dim sum and dumplings over at Capital. Then we went to see Man of Steel. I'm not going to be writing a movie review here but I did like it. It was the break I needed. lol
Anyway, we stopped by the cupcake place next to Edward's. It was Casey's Cupcakes and my, was the shop so cute!

| Even the chocolate chip on the cupcake had this cute little logo of the shop! |
I wanted to show them this other cute shop so we went to Artbox. I usually could go in there, look, admire, and go out without buying anything but not on that day. I haven't really bought any fashion things since I get clothing from my sponsors. I often feel guilty spending when I know I could them from free but I guess I caved in. It was my birthday anyway. lol

| It was too cute plus I could use it when sewing/serging so I don't inhale fabric shreds. SERIOUSLY. lol |

| This really caught my eye the moment I walked in the store. I need it for traveling, pretty good size for carry-on, hehe. |
So yeah... I spent that much for the Artbox things. XD The rest of the day, movies and food, it was Christy, Pam, and Ant's treat. I really had a great time. I go to a lot of conventions and even fly to places but I hardly go out of the house on normal days because I don't drive (yet) so I felt really lucky that I had friends who wanted to take me out! :)
And just the thought of having friends... Well, if I haven't told you yet, I moved to the US two years ago. It's been hard since I am shy and really not that out-going. My brother and I share the same personality and we would often refer to ourselves as
hikikomori. lol It really is just nice to have a friend friend, you know?
Christy's gift! I have been consuming them. Chocolates are best for menstrual cramps!
