Asian Festival

Hey guys! I haven't blogged in awhile so I thought I'd keep you up to date on what's going on. ;)

Well, the housesitting went well. It was nice to get away from my crazy family and have some time to myself. Plus Pheth's house is ahhhmazing. And she paid me very well, indeed.

Fast forward to Friday. Friday night Pheth decided she wanted to take me shopping. We went to TJ Maxx and Belk, but I couldn't find anything I particularly liked. Luckily, afterwards we went to Starbucks and got the usual. :) (Grande Strawberries & Creme Frap.) Then I went home and took a nap and did some laundry. I know, I'm a boring individual. But hey, it gets better. Later that night Viv calls and invites me to go to the Asian Festival in Columbus. I of course obliged.

Saturday comes around and I'm very excited. I was gonna go with Pheth and Viv. It was very fun indeed. (and hot.) There were tons of people and lots of delicious food. We walked around a bit, looked around the little shops, looked at the displays, watched the dancing (which was very good btw.), and finally had some food. We ended up getting fried bananas, some lao chicken on a stick, and some rice cakes with molasses. Yummmmm. :) We also watched her cousin play this Asian game which is like volleyball and soccer combined. You have the traditional volleyball net, albeit a little shorter, and you kick the little ball over.  It was very interesting.The announcer was also hilarious, although they had to translate for me because he was speaking in Lao. Anyway, I got a really cute Asian sun umbrella while I was there. It's dark blue with pink blossoms. It's beautiful! ... And very helpful, because it was like 90 degrees that day. 

After that excursion, we went the Easton, which is basically the best mall EVER! First we went to Anthropologie, which is Viv's favorite store. I can't afford much there, but I did find this really cute journal. It's called the Non-planner datebook. It's a very creative and cute way to write about your day, or whatever's going on. Then we went to Forever 21. I loooove that store. I got this really adorable sailor type tank dress. It has red and white stripes on the top, which a cinched waist, and then a blue flowy bottom. I also got a white top which also sinches at the waist and has ruched flowers. Then I also got a few camis. When I went to check out I had the most adorable guy help me. He asked if I wanted to buy the recyclable bag and of course I had to say yes. It's cute, though. It's blue and has a panda on it with glasses. 

After we were done shopping we went to this delicious sushi place. I can't remember the name, but I think it's Edamame or something like that. I got some Hibachi chicken with fried rice and a salad. The food there was amazing. And then we ended the meal with some lovely Starbucks. Yummmmmm. :D 

After all of the fun of the day, it was time to go home. It was about 1:00 AM by the time that we got there. I just spent the night with Viv. We had church in the morning anyway.

Church was the same. It was a good service. It was talking about the church camp that they kids were going to go to. I'll admit, I was a little distracted. There was the most ADORABLE baby sitting behind me. It was sooo cute. It even had an adorable little grin. It was such a happy baby. Not to mention that the father was also very cute. hehe. :) Anyway, that's my weekend  in a nutshell. I hope everyone has a lovely Memorial Day!
