the heart as it is | courage • grief • beauty

These are the days of…

…eating a lot of congee at one point because of some unfortuante sid effects of new medicine I am taking (pictured here is seaweed, grilled eel, and congee with sweet potato):

…visiting the new T&T market nearby. It was an okay store – fun to visit but I think a slightly bit overhyped. I do think it was cool that they had a hot food section that was all Asian food, and also some machines with fresh soymilk:

…finding it funny that an entire aisle section was just called ‘Pocky’:

…taking other interesting shots around the supermarket:

…going out to eat for Jacob’s birthday (ft. JJ):

…limiting myself to 1 coffee shop visit a week (and the total has to be $10 or less):

…finally opening up a painting course I purchased 3 years ago:

..hanging out with JJ for a weekend and taking him to Monterey Bay:

…attempting a no-knead milk bread. It surprisingly tasted quite good and I have made 2 loaves already (I also have made my own jam pictured here):

…having ramen with a friend:

…having some matcha coconut yogurt:

…having a matcha parfait in Castro Valley after a 2nd interview and then visiting a friend’s house there:

…having ice cream with JJ:

and that’s what’s been going on these past few weeks ! I have some reflections to share, too, but I have to get around to edting them. Thanks for reading !
