My Thanksgiving Vacation

Yesterday was not the best Thanksgiving I had.
My mom woke me up at 6am to make me walk five miles. It was an event called the “Turkey Trot” where more than 3,000 people participate. It’s a run but my mom read that walkers are also welcome so she signed me up without telling me
-__-
So I was moody the entire morning. I only had two plain waffles and water for breakfast. ohmygod it was so discouraging! We walked so slow that we saw the runners back from the event. We were like the five people walking out of the 3,000.
(At least the park was pretty. I rather picnic there than walk FIVE MILES.)
We were like the last ones lol
Ugh and then i fell on the grass when i was done and cried lol jk ….sorta
(Went to a Chinese Restaurant waiting for seats.)
▻▻Fast forward until Thanksgiving dinner ▻▻
The dinner made the day everything better! I was extremely hungry as well. I saw all my relatives and cousins C:
I thought we wouldn’t have Turkey this year but there was! There were vegetables, mashed potatos, stuffing, fishballs, pasta, bread, and PIZZA!!
I didn’t eat pizza since last winter I think. I was craving it so much. It even had my favorite toppings. I was so happy ;u; ♥
My mom made soup and fruit punch. It was yummy too!
(Turkey ice cream cake LOL)
(My baby cousins playing. After I took the picture, he knocked her building down and they started fighting C’:)
My other cousin played ping pong with my little brother lol. It was hilarious!
Afterwards, my cousin showed me Gangnam style and now everyone in my family knows about it LOL
Black Friday [11.23.12]
I woke up at 5:45am and I went to the Menlo Park mall in New Jersey. Sam’s dad drove us and our moms.
(Pretty Christmas decorations when we entered the mall~)
We went to Forever21 first! As I arrived, I was disappointed that there were so little sales. But then, I went in the back of the store and I found that the section is all 50% off! ;u;
I bought the clothes I wanted; they are really cute ^w^
Afterwards, we went to Woodbridge mall. I got a necklace from Forever 21 (It’s my favorite store lol). I should have bought the dresses from there and this necklace from Claires. What a huge regret :C
We went to a diner afterwards. 
(An advertisement on our diner placemat. boob^ lol :D)
The food finally came. Everyone’s meal looked so yummy; mine was all right. I ordered a turkey dish- I don’t even know what it was called but it was a sandwhich. I didn’t know it was a sandwhich, I thought it was only the turkey :C
The food was still good nonetheless!
I shopped from 7am to 4am. I’m really exhausted T_T
(I wish I was photogenic :C)
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and Black Friday ^w^

♠:- 11.21.12 -:♠

Yesterday, Tommy and I went on a date to celebrate our one and half year of dating =(^3^)=
We dropped off our books at his house after school first. Tommy made wontons. I normally dislike wontons but his’ tastes REALLY GOOD =p=;;
Then, we headed out to the city to Korea Town! ^0^
(On the Subway~)
We went to my favorite Korean Restaurant for dinner. I forgot what it called though lol I liked it because it gave us a lot of side dishes :3
(Our dinner! I got Bi bam bap as usual and Tommy got the hot version of it. It was delicious~)
Afterwards, Tommy and I went to Red Mango for dessert. I have never tried frozen yogurt nor visited Red Mango before.
(Pumpkin spice yogurt, with Oreo crumbs, white and milk mini chocolate kisses, gummy worms, sprinkles and..yeah that’s about it LOL It’s so sour! D:)
We went to go shopping after that; 34th St has such nice stores~ Tommy and I went to H&M and he got a shirt because they were only $5.95!
Then, we went to Uniqlo. It’s the biggest Uniqlo I’ve been to. I think it has four floors.
(I love how all the stairs light up and change color ^u^)
Then we went to Forever21 but I didn’t get anything. I’m waiting until Black Friday! ^u^)b
We didn’t know what else to do then but I saw that Macy’s put up their Christmas decorations already. It’s so beautiful! *w* ♥
Every year, Macy’s decorates each of their windows with these amazing, animated Christmas decorations. It always attracts a lot of tourists!
Each window shows a different scenario:
(A puppet; All she did was lift the dress up and put it back down. I was scared that she would suddenly open her eyes though :c)
The decorations amazed us so much that we decided to go inside the store LOL
There was so much life inside the store. It was decorated everywhere and it was very crowded. x_x;;
There was also a Starbucks inside so Tommy and I got a drink and sat for awhile.
(Pumpkin spice latte! omnomnom ♥)
After that, we ventured off to see the store. I think it’s the largest Macy’s in the city. We went through all nine floors of the store including the cellar.
The highest floor sold Christmas decorations. It’s hard to believe this many trees were on one floor LOL
(I took a lot more Christmas trees but deleted them because they were blurry.)
(When I was fiddling around with this Snow globe that played music, Tommy took a bunch of pictures so I turned it into a gif c:)
(More decorations! The music box/snow globes are at the Santa’s (left) feet! ^0^)
Leaving the store was the scariest part. After the 3rd floor and up, the escalators are made of wood D:
(Going down them was so scary T^T Especially all the way from the 9th floor :C)
Well.. that concludes our day. It was very fun and it has been awhile since we stayed out this late together! ^u^

♠:- HOT POT [11-12-12] -:♠

I went to my friend, Michael’s house for a hot pot! I met up with everyone at the supermarket and we spent probably two hours buying food.
(First time seeing ramune in a supermarket. I thought they were only sold in Japan! David and I bought one. Steven’s girlfriend, Teresa popped in the marble for me and it exploded :C It tasted ok.)
We prepared the food. There were also mashed potato and spicy rice cakes made as well!
(After the hot pot. I suggested that we get vegetables but NO ONE ate it except for me. sigh :c)
Picdrop of my kawaii faice~
There were more people but they were playing video games outside LOL
Anyway, it was quite a fun day! I ate a lot too ^w^
