Saturday Outing

It's been a little over a week since I've updated my blog I've been super busy over this past week and have been lazy to blog. Anyway, I'll try to do a recap of this past weekend as well as week.

Saturday, 2/2 - I went to lunch with a friend, E, I met on a wedding forum. We went to Felix Continental Cafe in Orange, CA. It is Cuban food. I've had Cuban food before as there is a restaurant called Florida near my work that serves Cuban. I absolutely love that restaurant. I actually went there today for lunch with about 9 other coworkers to celebrate some people's birthdays.

Going back to Felix Continental - this was actually my second visit to this restaurant. The first time I was here, I went with a college friend who introduced me to Cuban food. Anyway, I can't say that I am all that impressed with Felix Continental. I gave the restaurant a second chance but it just cannot compare to Florida. The plaintains at Florida is super yummy and sweet. The plaintains at Felix is bland and hard. Oh well. After lunch, my friend, E and I went to Main Place because I needed to buy a Stila pressed powder refill. Main Place does not carry Stila! That was a bit annoying considering the fact that we drove around for about 5 minutes trying to find a parking place. We headed over to SCP so that I could buy my pressed powder refill and E could fill out her HR termination paperwork. She was being laid-off from her workplace! It's o.k., the woman only works 4 hours a month at the place. It's about time they lay her off. =P

I think E was tired of walking around the mall with me as I wandered aimlessly window shopping for a purse. As E put it, she wasn't a shopper. Well, I'm not a shopper either but it's nice every once in awhile to just walk around. After going to several stores, we called it an afternoon and I dropped her off at her aunt's place. I ran some errands and headed home.

My friend, Metea, came over in the evening to hang out. We talked for awhile and then it was time for dinner. The husband, Metea and I went to Ebisu for ramen. It's funny but my taste buds have changed over time. I used to not like curry, specifically Japanese curry, but now I like it. I gues it's one of those things that you need to try more often and it will grow on you. Oh...back to what I was saying, I didn't really like Japanese ramen for a long while. Somehow, it's kind of grown on me. I would have to say that I would have to thank some of my forum buddies for our GTG's to different restaurants. Oh...I ran into a previous co-worker of mine when we were at Ebisu. We chatted for a minute or two and I got her email. I'll have to remember to send her an email to catch-up one of these days.

After dinner, we went back to our place. Metea and I continued our discussion way pass our bedtime (I had to catch a early flight the next morning). It was hilarious catching up with Metea. Although Metea and I exchanged email correspondence frequently at work, we cannot hear each other laugh. I think exchanging laughter is one of the most wonderful things about getting together with friends.
