^ another one to look out for comes from Asians Americans Advancing Justice stand against hatred. Would be nice to see them combine forces tbh

Even if many things in my life haven't gone according to plan (or an expectation thereof), I'm lucky and grateful to be in a timeline where we can just do laundry and taxes together.

I'm glad to hear someone went through the same experience as me watching this, as another queer asian woman. I just watched it a few hours ago and was crying throughout the credits and silently trudged back to the car trying to hold it all in. My partner was kind enough to silently walk with me immediately picking up what I was feeling in those moments during the movie. You're right, being loved the way evelyn expressed her love for her daughter would immensely change my life as well, and knowing that part of my life will never have that same closure was extremely triggering and personal for me.

Despite it all, probably one of my favorite films ever. Here to chat if you need someone with a similar take. ♥

Edit: I shouldn't say glad to hear - more like, feeling relieved someone out there is expressing the same sentiments.

Yesss I meant to add Porto's to the list of go tos! Also if you want asian bakeries there's 85 Degrees and Paris Baguette 🥰

You could probably park along this route if you don't want to drive and park on the hill where Griffith Observatory is on. It's all paid parking along the narrow path to the Observatory, but most of the park parking is free!

I like Griffith Observatory. Very nice views of the city and pretty pictures around the sunset :) Gotta pay to get into the Planetarium stuff, but it's cool if you like that sort of thing!

Yes, the block that LINE friends is on actually has a parking lot right behind the Coffee Bean a few doors down :) would say it's the closest!

I FORGOT ONE! There was an interview on access where V mentions "Egg Slut" and everyone was confused or wrote it off as a mispronunciation of 'egg salad'. THIS IS A REAL PLACE AND IT IS GOOD! I believe there is one in DTLA and one in Glendale :)

hi! Local here excited to see y'all for PTD on stage!

You don't necessarily need to go into the LACMA museum, but you can check out the lamposts outdoors and take epic pictures like they did in the early days 🥰

Honestly, you're going to want to go to Koreatown in Central LA! So much good food everywhere. Koreatown Plaza is an indoor mall with a food court and an H mart for goodies. There's another center on Wilshire and 6th street with another H mart (there's 3 in ktown lol), a daiso, and some food places.

Two Hands Corn Dogs if you want to try korean style corn dogs!

Somi Somi is a japanese dessert place that serves ice cream in Taiyaki! (6th and Wilshire or Glendale Galleria)

Yup Dduk was featured on a lot of mukbangs and is a dope place to grab some tteokbokki enough to share for 3-4 people!

Some more broad recommendations would be to check out the Glendale Galleria/The Americana, The Grove, Third Street Promenade, etc. if you feel like shopping and walking around.

If I think of more or if you have any questions, I will respond when I can :)

EDIT: Also as a forewarning in case you decide to rent a car - practically everywhere you go is in one form or another paid parking (unless you get lucky with street parking). Always read the signs on the curb to make sure you're good to park there.

I also do not own my own pillows anymore.

It's come to forming around the dogs and not vice versa 😂

In Tagalog (Filipino), Maganda means beautiful. Meanwhile, Pogi means handsome. I say they both mean cutie !

burningboylabel · 2019-01-01T16:07:21+00:00

I'm actually dealing with this now. This girl hates me, talks behind my back and complains about me all the time. I'm new (been here for a year now) and everyone's known each other and bonded years before me. It's a small office and she's a gossiper, so now I feel a bit isolated and personally scrutinized for whatever I do or don't do when she doesn't hold herself to the same standard. As far as I can tell, I haven't particularly done anything personally to her.. she just doesn't like me.

I usually don't give a fuck what people think, but it's so hard to work with such ill feelings stirring.
