food.travel.work.now.

FOOD. 
its crazy to think about all the places i've been and the different food i've eaten. im probably the pickest eater i know, but little by little i open up and try new things to eat. i'll taking photos of food i eat from now on and sharing it, maybe if you are ever in the area of a place that i like you can go or if you go to another country, its somethin
g you can try. i guess this will be a warm up of more food to come. pix are at the bottom....

TRAVEL.
quick update, LA-Rome-Korea-Rome again-Korea again. lol i come home on the 19th of april but i leave the other half out there...sad. the label hired her to work and stay in korea for the next 3 months.  but i guess its ok since ill be back there every month for 2 weeks at a time. its just going to be weird come home to LA and not having her there. if anything im gonna be really happy to touch US soil and finally drive my car, use my apt, check my mail, buy new clothes, ride my bike and see my dog.  definitely not the same without aims, but im sure we'll be ok.

WORK.
i've been on a slump with choreography lately, been working with artists a lot and i haven't been able to create routines for myself. i've been wanting to film a lot of things too but time has not been on my side. haven't made a piece in a few weeks now, and it usually happens this way too. probably soon i'll have flurry of pieces, or maybe i'll go through another drought haha and wait till my next wave of creativity comes. i've been hating my stuff lately too....ahhh! i have music, but nothing wants to come out. or it does, but....iono. frustrating. 

NOW.
im actually doing ok. my mind has been on crazy mode just constantly thinking, sleep has been the pits cuz of time zones and planes. hotels are nice but nothing beats my apt. i am greatful for everything tho, with the times being as rough as they are, the recession...the loss of jobs or even trying to get one. my line of work is thriving and continuing to grow and i can only continue to grind hard and ride the wave as its comes. i am blessed and i am happy for the things that i already have and happy for the even greater things that are on their way. 

alright back to the food.

this is cucumber soda. its hella good, i stopped drinking soda too but this was well worth it. not only was it good but i got it after my meal over at "noodle theory." this restaurant is the shit! its in the east bay. a really dope place to go eat if you have the time. i get the ginger noodles with chicken. i'll be there when i get back to the CALI and if anyone is down to come lets go. planning to be back in the bay round the 25th, so get at me and try something new damnit!

now this was in LA. kojis bruh! my favorite crunch roll, really nothing like it!! i would go there just for that! its rolled nice and tight, not too much fish eggs, not too much sauce and the presentation looks great. along with the shabu shabu..... its a nice place. introduced to me when i was living in long beach with my cousin JR couple year back.... and till now still my favorite.
coffee man. in rome, this is definitely something you have to try. i don't drink coffee at all! but if you need to wake up....this works. lol i like how small they come, its like a shot. 



this is a rice wonton. introduced to me by aimee, and this one place right by where her parents live is a random chinese spot and its hella good. crunchy outside, soft on the inside. its in millbrae near SFO and supposedly this is the only place that sells it. at least that we know of. if you exit millbrae ave and make a right on el camino it and has a green sign in front. if you pass burger king you've gone to far and you most likely wont find wontons there. 
ok so i have more picks but at the moment you're gonna have work with this one. YG took us and the whole ent. company to dinner, and basically you sit at a table and eat appetizers that are good enough to be your food. a tomato starter, vegetables, some raw tuna, soup, and even a little sake. and as i thought we were gonna have like beef teriyaki or something the owner of the restaurant brings our table to another table. its a sushi bar and everyones lined up, so you sit and eat what they give you. haha yea and this was my first time eating authentic sushi. was a crazy experience for my that i would actually do again! i found i like tuna and anything thats close to it, i like yellow tail, salmon is ok, and slightly cooked sushi i great. octopus is not my thing and im glad i didnt do it! haha last piece of info is i found out to eat at this place it costs $200 a person. yea....i feel blessed to have eaten food this good.

till next blog. thanks for reading, if you happen to go to any of these places after reading this blog or have ur own story too, let me know. i wanna hear. peace yall.

  2. if you ever by a mere chance come down to Richmond, VA (VCU area) - there's sushi for $1.50-$5 and it's not bad sushi either. Lots of us poor college kids eat there, lol. but it has some interesting hours. phamnguyentt@vcu.edu
