'Twas a splendid weekend indeed
This past 4th of July weekend had been a significantly significant one for me - call it a journey of self discovery if you may, for I happened to (re)discover a part of me that I thought was forever dead.. That being said, yay to humanity and to little old me.
But before that, a little digression:
Camwhoring with the darling powderpuffs at some boba place @ Rowland Heights.
And now, the juice:
I have (re)discovered my ability to cook! (or rather the ability to prepare a half decent meal for the purpose of feeding oneself)
Behold Project Non-Fried Fried Rice - (Recipe from Raw: The Uncook Book)
The concept of non-fried fried rice may sound flabbergasting -blasphemous to some even- but in truth it makes all the sense in the world.
Instructions: "Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix and serve"
First - cook 1 cup of brown rice, then add the following:
 
 
 
Finally add 1 tbsp minced garlic and ginger, 1/2 cup chopped green onions, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 1/2 cup olive oil..
Hello, Jess!.. and pineapple!
Honestly when Jess and I first started out with our little project, I had very little faith in it. I mean, the entire self-worth of fried rice, being one of the easiest yet tastiest meals to prepare is being challenged here. How can fried rice be fried rice if it is not fried? And worse still - without egg?! (I am very insistent on having my fried rice cooked with eggs; I'm not even kidding) Secondly, the recipe came across as one of those holier-than-thou vegan/organic/green crap that promises very good bowel movements but almost zero taste buds stimulation (Seriously! Have you tried one of those organic gluten-free cookies? Awful!!) And omg, brown rice is nasty as hell.
Surprisingly though, it turned out surprisingly good! I was half expecting it to be borderline edible (i.e. chewable and swallowable, hopefully digestable) and half-hearted compliments from our fellow guinea pigs.. But hey! it was yummy! I honestly don't know what made it a success - but as long as it was a success, I'm happy =)

Free advertising (also the cutest thing ever)
 I was trying to look for a parking spot at the super crowded Costco/Ikea plaza in Mission Valley today, when I passed by this cute little yellow vintage VW Beetle chillin innocently at the parking lot. The car plate says "IKEA 1" and it has stuff stacked way too high for its own good. The only thing missing from the picture would be a Mr. Bean lookalike trying to pry open the car door with a hanger or something, methinks.
Ah, and happy father's day. Love you daddy!

Major wow! (UCSDians need not bother)
Spot the fake tree!
If ever, one fine day, you decide to take a stroll around the Geisel library in UCSD, try not to be too alarmed if you hear voices amongst the trees. No the grounds are not haunted, and no you are not losing your mind; there is just some higher power residing within one of the trees and it is trying to communicate with you.
Behold - the magical talking tree of UCSD:

I've always known the day would come..
..when people run out of names for fruits. I won't deny this is one aptly-named fruit though!
I can totally imagine how it happened:
Dude 1: Hey guys, check the new batch of oranges growing in my backyard!
Dude 2: Duuuuude that is one ugly-ass mofo!!
Dude 3: Yeah dude, its like all, smooshed up and wrinkly and shit. Looks like it needs a freakin plastic surgery man.
Dude 1: Oh man, you think I can still make some money out of it? Maybe people are like, getting bored of the normal oranges or whatever.
Dude 2: Yeah.. What are you gonna call it though? Orange 2.0?
Dude 3: Geez you're such a nerd. I say we call it ugly. Since you know, it's like.. ugly.
Dude 1: You mean like.. Ugly Fruit..?
Needless to say, the rest is history.
Here's the wikipedia page to prove that I'm not bluffing: This
And a news article to go with: That

 CheaNThe owner of this blog is Chea Ean - and I will give you a big big hug if you can say my name right.
I have hair too flat for my protruding forehead, front teeth too wide for my mouth, ears too flappy for my face, feet too big for an Asian girl, and probably a mind too fickle for my own good.
I am the girl by the window, and I might just be the most incoherent person you will ever meet. But yes, I have friends; if that's what you're wondering.
