These are the days of…

…finally trying the local shawarma place in the neighborhood – the chicken tasted divine. Plus the local dessert shop that was nearby that also tasted very yummy and fresh:

…per usual, taking cute photos of the floofball:

…attending an internal department celebration for the grads of my program a couple of weeks before our actual graduation:

…finding out that Meetfresh closed (sadly) but that Shihlin street food sells a similar dessert on their menu now:

…visiting Dragon Mountain Park with Jacob:

…finally using an old gift card to try some vegan burgers and fries:

…having Mexican food for lunch at the last day at one of my internships, as well as a last photo:

…taking a photo of this supplement and finding it humorous because I started playing a game where one of the monsters is called ‘krill’:

…finding these giant toilet paper rolls at Target:

…graduating!!:

…making it to the midwest and visiting a Pizza Hut that is literally a blast to the past, like untouched from the 90’s:

…also coming across the same thing with the Pizza Hut but for a Starbucks in a grocery store:

…staying at these lovely relatives’ home for Memorial Day weekend while we attended the wedding of a dear friend:

…visiting my friend’s house, I just got a small photo of the living room:

…I didn’t get to take much photos of the wedding as I was a bridesmaid, but here was the venue of the reception, it was very stunning and classy:

…and leaving the midwest via ORD:

And that is it for now ! I will not be posting for a few weeks again because I will be off to Europe tomorrow, but I will definitely share lots of photos then ! Aside from special outings and travels though, I may not be posting as many photos since I have mainly been doing this since I have not had much time to reflect nor write, but I feel like some of that is coming back again. We shall see though !

Welcome to my blog, where I share many of my photos but also share tidbits about life, travels, deep topics, and reflections. I hope to share about the worthiness and goodness of the human experience through all that is difficult and beautiful.
