Banana Cream Pie



(banana cream pie from blue smoke)

Not really a dessert person. When i end dinner, id rather end with the salty, meaty taste rather than a sugary sweet dessert taste.

Id most likely choose a slice of pizza over a slice of cake or cupcake.

while watching Throwdown with Bobby Flay i heard about a dessert called "Banana Cream Pie"
For this episode he battled against a Brooklyn bakery from Red Hook called Baked.

i never had banana cream pie but it sounds like something i would be obsessed with if i ever had it. when i eat desserts, i like it to be just a little sweet, when its overly sweet, it kills the whole thing for me. Banana's being one of my favorite fruits with a simple crust and peanut butter whipped cream sounds amazing.

A must try for winter break.

North Face Purple Label Day Backpack



I've been fiendin' for this bag for a few years now.
I remember seeing a north face bag similar to this, but non-purple label for about $50 shipped on ebay. I dont know why i passed but i did. $50 seems a lot for a such a simple bag but the purple label bags are only available in Japan and go for about $200.

I randomly saw some asian girl on the train with a red and blue one. I asked her where she got it and she was confused and didn't understand me. Then for a few stops, we just stood quiet and awkward and then did a awkward goodbye smile as i left. hahaha

Sac Sac nostalgia



after i randomly saw some old asian lady drinking a can of this on the train it brought back maddddddd memories. I used to drink this all the time at my mama's house (name i call the person that baby sitted me since i can remember)

So after i seen't (seen't, new word in my vocab that me and evan use to act ghetto, it is seen the past tense form of see but even more past tense to the 3rd power) the old lady with the Sac Sac, i headed to k-town to get some of this korean goodness.

Bought a box of 12 and carried the box on the train and on the walk home though the snow. lol.

Not that amazing, not no orangina, but still nostalgic nonetheless.

On the subject of throwback, here's a song that just came on music choice party favorites channel.

vacation

after all this its vacation for a lil more than a month. I usually go to vegas every summer to visit family but last summer we didnt go because my family and I decided to just push it to Christmas/ New Years/ My bday time so i can be 21 and at the same time escape the cold. we ended up not doing that and this summer i didnt go anywhere either. maybe for this break ill head down to miami, or cali/vegas to visit some friends.

tired

lately im been mad busy or just mad lazy to post up new entries.

I have a few entries on my phone and a few pics i still need to upload.

I have hundreds of random picture that i need to feature on my blog. pictures of interesting people on the train, things that look appealing, food and just chillin sessions.

For the past few days Ive been in school from morning until 1-2 am processing film and developing some photos for my final portfolio for photography.
yesterday i was in school for 16 hours. ZOINKS!!!!! we had pizza and beer in the photo lab, chillin and making prints.
It takes me about 5-7 prints until i finally get the right contrast and exposure on the prints. Its such a waste of paper and money considering the paper is a little less that a dollar a sheet.
Photography is really fun but just requires a lot of time and commitment.

Aside from my photography portfolio, I also have
-an 8 page paper
-a 7 page paper
-three 4 page papers
-museum report
-three paintings
-and a philosophy final.

fun lol
