Car Cleaning

I really am running out of things to blog about, but recently I deep cleaned "my" truck.

I took it to the car wash and then I went home and vacuumed everything. After not cleaning it in a while, I was surprised by how clean it still was. Probably because I don't let anyone eat in my car, drinks only.

After I vacuumed I wiped all the windows. I was driving to work yesterday and it was so weird seeing the windows SO clear, I kept thinking I had the window open. I also disinfected everything in the car and cleaned out all the compartments.

I had my Dad buy me car seat covers because the seats were old and I don't know how to clean them without having someone detail the whole car. These seats weren't dirty, but they weren't pretty. It's a 2007 Toyota Tacoma and it has lived a long life since I was a little girl and now I am the one driving it since I technically don't have a car...yet.

A Day After Class

I am running out of things to blog about so I will be talking about my day after class on Saturday.

After class, I went to Walmart to get groceries. I went straight home to eat lunch. I ate karne prita. It's like a Filipino Illongo version of carne asada. When I was done eating, I got ready to go out with my friend to a cafe called Cafe 86.

This was my first time going to the cafe, but I really enjoyed it because it had a BUNCH of Filipino baked goods. For example, ube leche cupcakes (shown below), ube truffles, and ube crinkles. The cafe really made my heart happy.

When my friend and I were done ordering at the cafe, we drove to a park that was nearby and ate our pastries and drinks. It was really nice weather with a slight breeze. In conclusion, after school, my day was nice and peaceful.

TD08 and Spring Break Reflection

TD08:
Lesson 6.9.2 focused on transitions. I didn't know the power of transitions before this lesson and before presenting my PowerPoint in class. I think it is a small detail that makes a big difference that I will apply whenever I make a PowerPoint. 

Blog:

My spring break consisted of three events. 

I didn't go to San Diego like I was going to, but instead, I went to a cat cafe with a friend. The cats there were so cute. Most of the time, my friend and I aggressively played a crime board game in the cafe. After that, we went to Downtown Summerlin to walk around and eat a light dinner.

The other event was going out with my parents to eat Vietnamese food, which is my favorite food. Later we took my little cousin to go get boba and went shopping at Target. 

The last event was going out with my parents again to get crepes, boba, and bubble waffles with ice cream.

I'm Costco's Secret Admirer

I love going to Costco. 

Costco's selection is immaculate. I realized this when I got the bulk version of cotton candy grapes, which is my guilty pleasure. Costco also has my favorite creamer in bulk, which is the "Coffeemate Natural Bliss: Sweet Cream". My creamer can last me two weeks or a bit more and I love it. I like going to their clothes section too. They sometimes sell Champion items on sale, but I went there today to see if they had shirts since summer is coming and they sadly do not... yet? 

Also, Costco food is great. They really limited what they have on their menu. Before they had this turkey pesto sandwich that I loved, but they discontinued it and only sell the OG pizza, hotdog, and chicken bake. Does anyone else remember when Costco sold gelato? Same.

Bridgerton Binge

This weekend, I was extremely bored. I found myself on Netflix watching Bridgerton. I binged the whole season in one day. I will admit I know why everyone hypes it up on TikTok. I really liked the time Bridgerton took place in the British 1800s. I loved all the dresses, social balls, the accent, and the glam that were in the show.

Season one is about a girl named Daphne during the season of courting. Daphne is pronounced the Diamond of the season, which basically means she is the image of beauty and grace. Daphne then meets Simon who is the Duke. Daphne wants to attract more suitors and Simon wants to stop all the Moms from pushing their daughters onto him, so they make a fake attraction to each other.

At first, I was really hesitant to watch Bridgerton, but I don't regret it. It really is a good show that looks into the rich British society of courting. Nonetheless, for someone who rarely watches real-life shows, this one was really enjoyable.
