yea i like no color better hahaha

oooo different color! blue purply =) what do you guys think of this color? hahaha i dont know which color should go to which type of entry. i say we just put a title and put FOOD_jay_rest of title. hehehehe im writing more so the color shows up better

so i decided to color code entries becaues jay wanted to know how to distinguish what from what because we were thinking this be a blog about everything but also certain trends we see, cool foods we come upon...soo like decor, food, party planning, weekend getaways, etcetc. we're young, we're hip, yeaaaa. kkk

I LOVE DESSERTS! these are some desserts I had in NYC this past weekend. We went to a Japanese Tea House called Cha-An in the East Village. They serve you 100s of hot teas and desserts. Here's what I had!

My Chrysanthemum Tea


Toast with Red Beans and Whipped Cream


Chocolate Souffle


Sesame Creme Brulee


Dessert Platter (including my favorite MACARON!)


Then, on my way back to my friend's apartment, we passed by Black Hound. I took a picture of the cakes.

New Jersey reporting!!! I'm going down to DC tomorrow morning. Sadly, I don't have great goodies to get you all from here, but I'll definitely get you guys goodies from Australia!!! AND PEI (Jay, you really should come!!!) Anna, I'm so sorry I've been MIA on that, my Australia trip took up a lot of my attention, but now that I'm basically set, its time to plan this PEI trip out.

All I've been doing after all my appointments has been shopping. I bought two dresses for various things, including our banquet. I should do my taxes too.

AND another piece of news - I'm going to be living with Lisa Hsieh. Well, our plans are to. My friend that I thought I was going to live re-evaluated her life and decided not to move down to DC. Saddness.

Current itinerary for the summer:

5.22-5.31, LA for 5 days, San Fran for the rest
5.31-6.22, Australia, Melbourne and Sydney
6.23-7.8, Jersey
7.8-7.15, PEI
(I think?) then DC!

Update from San Juan, PR

so the weather's really nice here. it's actually pretty hot. i need a lot of sunblock on my face to prevent it from growing more freckles. i did get a little tanned but not really. i just burned myself a little on the back. i wear sleeveless tops! we also eat a lot of good puerto rican food. their staple food: rice and beans. i really like it. but heard beans make you fart a lot. nan farted a couple times in public XD tomorrow, we're going to the beach again. i might try jet skiing although it's like $70 per half an hour. we'll see.
