Have You Ever Had a Lifetime Movie Moment?

True Story: Life is something.. I was at the mall when I decided to give my grandmother a call to ask her something which I always do. Call for a recipe.. a name of show.. something small but it's comforting to know she has the answer and it's a call away.. As the phone rang I turned to my sister and said "Man, I wouldn't know what to do if I couldn't pick the phone and asked grandma ya know.. Thank God for grandparents.." We chuckled to ourselves. She didn't answered.. usual so I called back a few times and left a voicemail.. 20 minutes later I receive a call she was in the hospital.. Life is something ain't it? I do not have a lot information but she is in recovery and stable.

Brrrrrr It's so Cold in the D... That I have a cold now.. SMH (- mini hiatus-)

Until my return... enjoy my latest cooking adventure.. 

I am still a bit under the weather..  my health is at 98.99% but not 100% yet.. 


Over the last few weeks, I have had a lot on my mind and time to think about my values and goals.                           


I have a lot to share but I want to present it in a well format. 


                     

I am having so much fun being a student

I have some interesting topics I want to touch on through my writing but
I am not able to at the exact moment due to a sinus cold.. :(

I spend time embracing myself and writing many notes to myself

My energy was so vamped up that I created 5 vision boards

Bubble Tea Experience Circa August 21, 2009

A few days ago, I decided to explore around the city. I was looking for something, really didn't know what but something! I jumped on the 1st bus in sight and took off!

Cincinnati is pretty interesting on the bus routes. You meet a lot interesting people, have random conversations, and maybe even learn how to make one can of salmon stretch to make 12 salmon croquettes.

After an hour of sight-seeing and taking notes from this elder about her salmon croquettes. *smile* I landed myself somewhere in Clifton. There I saw a sign for bubble tea!

I have seen the sign several times, each time I say to myself.. "Bubble tea! I need to try some bubble tea!"


I stepped inside of the cafe. It was very colorful, an artist dream environment for sketching and people watching. The cafe wasn't noise or crowded at all. The woman at the cashier greeted me with a warm smile. I proudly told her "May I have one small bubble tea?" She respond "Which flavor would you like?" pointing to a long yellow brick road list. I ponder for several minutes, then I requested mango.

In playful nature, I skipped out the cafe with my straw pinch between my lips and BAM.. I fell deeply in love.

The sweetness of the tea, milk and mango mixed with the caramel bubbles are quiet interesting but in a good way.

I can't wait to go back to try more flavors. I wanted to share with you my new treat.

p.s. I could have easily posted a pic but I love to be animated! LOL
