Greetings! haha i'm back with a post with lots of pictures!! :) aren't you glad that you don't have to read my babbling without any pictures? haha i would like to tell you to focus on the pictures if my picture taking skill was a little better, but it sucks sooooo yeah, i don't know. i'll just move on ha

oh! before i go into anything, i just wanted to mention that i have a name tag for my workplace now ahahaha i just thought it was hilariousssss

also, like i told you yesterday, my physics project is overrr and just wanted to show you guys the wind tunnel :) (again hehe)

a dude in my group took the picture, and he was able to get the whole thing! i couldn't D: maybe it's where we were standing..hmmm. not sure but anyways, this is the thing. i didn't really do much with this one because i started on the other one while they were still finishing up the tunnel.

and this is how it looks like if you look through it from the left side. isn't this exciting? :D LOL

today, or now yesterday, i had to go to the Art Institute of Chicago because i have to write a one page reflection type of paper for my japanese religion class. and jin accompanied me :)

but! before we went to the art institute, we went over to jackson to eat grilled chicken. but we ended up having al's because jin's memory failed and couldn't remember where the place was...i think we circled about 2.5 blocks lol

there's more stuff on the back. maybe i should've took a picture of that, too haha oops~

my bleu (they spelled it this way;;) cheese fries, char-grilled italian sausage, and PEPSI!

the italian sausage was pretty good. i liked it :) and the pepsi was great, too haha (some places have pepsi/coke that taste weird X/) but the bleu cheese fries......haha yeah....doesn't it kinda look gross in the picture?

so at first, it wasn't that bad except for the fact that it was a bit too...rich? yeah...and then..after awhile, it got gross, and i couldn't have it anymore. yikes. don't ever get bleu cheese fries. i'm just going to stick with my cheddar cheese fries from now on haha

jin! :D

OMG! so while we're eating these group of people come and start talking and singing obnoxiously! i got kind of annoyed -_- and one of them spilled his/her drink on the floor, so it was all sticky. yuck. i really wanted to get out of that place because of them.

remember to laugh and sing amongst yourselves when others are present! >:[

after we finished eating, we headed to the art institute.

i haven't gone there since...junior high, maybe? haha yeah, i really don't remember. the weird thing is that the place seemed kind of different, not the physical place, but my perspective of the place. i don't know if that makes sense, but yeah haha. it seemed a lot more interesting than before. hmm, weird ha

from japanese art:

i want this notebook or whatever it is! it looks a lot prettier in person :)

i think this was an incense burner. isn't it pretty? XD

the grand staircase:

when did they start doing this? i don't remember seeing this the last time i went there haha

from other parts of the museum:

my prince charming in his shiny armor~ sike haha

these look so pretty!! want want!!

an armchair from way back then haha it looks comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time;;

if someone gets this chess set for me, imma master it haha just because they look awesome hehe

awwwww look at the cute elephant~XD

after looking around the shop for a short time, we stopped by the restroom before leaving and did this:

oops, i cut off jin XD

there were a lot more pictures, but i kept on closing my eyes! and it wasn't even fully closed -_-;;; so i had to toss them all away~ and jin over there keeps on coming out nice. poop.

anywayssss~on the way to the entrance/exit, i saw this:

i just HAD to take a picture of this haha it's funny and cute XD he's known as the Remover of Obstacles

after we got out, we went on a search for cvs but only found walgreens :( so we decided to go to loyola since it's right by the train station && red mango's there!! hehe

i was looking for cvs because i actually wanted to buy the maybelline concealer, but they didn't have my tone, so i just got red mango :D yay!

my all-time favorite, pomegranate with strawberries~ XD ♥ anddd the person working there swirled the froyo so nicely~ it was pretty! haha that was my first time getting a nice looking one from this location :P

jin was just sitting there drinking her arizona while i was eating my froyo haha she keeps on eating/drinking outside food in there. i'm not sure if she's allowed to do that haha probably not.

the only thing after red mango was going home! :)

oh! before i move on to the best part of my day, there was this couple on the train pda-ing to the MAX! it was so annoying!! the girl was either drunk or is just a very obnoxious girl;; if they kept it quiet to themselves, i wouldn't have gotten that annoyed, but they weren't! and they got off at loyola, too, so jin and i had to sit through that for like about good 30 minutes-_-

in my opinion, there are things you can and cannot do in public, and they were doing all~ of it except for actually "doing" it

i really hope that people can keep their affections under control and show them in a private setting

ok, enough ranting and moving on to~

MY COFFEE!!! XD

i don't know if i mentioned it here, but i think i like coffees from Metropolis the best because the actual taste and the aftertaste are both AMAZING! so i had to get ground coffee from this place haha but they actually have a lot more kinds than i thought, so i was struggling with which one i should try first. and then! i noticed that there was a smaller bag on top of the shelf, so i decided to try one of the four they had. two of them were decaf so no haha and this one sounded better hehe

my bag smelled like coffee after i bought this. ahhhh love~ he

after i got back home, i showed it to my mom, and she loved the smell and wanted to try some haha so we (mom, dad & i) all got to try colombia los naranjos :)

here's my cup (from jessica :D) with my first home-brewed metropolis coffeeeeeee~

i think this is the one i always drink at metropolis. might be wrong, but i think it is haha i'm drinking it as i write ehehe i think im gonna make some more in the morning and carry it around XD i'm in love~~ ahahahaha

the downside is that that small thing costs almost ten dollars :P but it's worth it haha i'm satisfied :)

i could rave about this coffee forever but i'll move on haha to my selcas! aren't ya excited?? just kidding~ XD ...sorry hahahaha

i realized that i didn't have the peace sign in my pics these days, so here it is ha:

oh, and i also tried to be a real fob and cover half of my face with my hand, but it didn't really work out for me-_-;;

it just makes my hand look HUUUUUGE!
