It's almost the new year, and don't we all hope next year will get better? After a week of not having boba (shocking!) because my mom bought her favorite cake last week, here comes a drink! My dad wanted to go on another Trader Joe’s run with me, so this time we finally went to… Continue reading One Zo Green Milk Tea – One Zo
For whatever reason, my dad wanted to go to Trader Joe's and me to tag along, so because I wanted a few grocery items myself and it was a chance to get a drink, I went. Plus, this is the perfect time of day for a snack, and as my finals-study break day / day… Continue reading Uji Green Milk Tea – Omomo Tea Shoppe
It's my birthday! It's that time of year to cash in all the birthday coupons, and because Ding Tea uses Fivestars, the coupon expires today, so I figured I'd use it. As a side note, I got notifications from two Ding Teas. This one gives $3.75 off, which is about slightly less than. the price… Continue reading Jasmine Green Tea Latte – Ding Tea
We're taking advantage of the one cent delivery fee promotion while it's still here (it started last Sunday, and ends this Saturday). My mom also felt like having something sweet to energize her, which is the main reason today. I also feel oddly unproductive (well, that's the mood most days...), so here's to hoping the… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea (#3) – 7 Leaves Cafe
Today we went to Omomo because my mom wanted some groceries from Trader Joe's. My friend found a new website with short passages in Russian, so today we read a story about how kangaroos were discovered and a story about birthday revenge. Both were hilarious, and funnier than the original bear joke. Earlier I was… Continue reading Jasmine Creamomo (Cheese) – Omomo Tea Shoppe
I was a good citizen and cast my vote today! This was my first ever ballot, so I guess it's somewhat of a special occasion. I spent more time looking at the languages on the ballot box which caused some people to wait...does that say anything about me? I let them go ahead though. Actually,… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea (#2) – 7 Leaves Cafe
Today's Russian study session was at Omomo! My friend and I read a passage on St. Petersburg, and then did some name declension practice, along with some other miscellaneous grammar items. My drink choice today was a pretty quick one: the Jasmine Milk Tea, which I like to call the not-so-secret Omomo menu item. Jasmine… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea – Omomo Tea Shoppe
On today's episode of Russian Wednesdays, we're at Spiritea again! Today my friend and I went over a passage from a Russian learning website I found to practice reading and comprehension. We read about Russian bears. At the end of it, there was a joke (about a bear), but neither of us understood why it… Continue reading Mango Cloudtea – Spiritea
Oh my God, today's the last day of August! I think we were going to get a drink yesterday because my sister was craving her "bloody drink", but then it ended up getting late in the afternoon so we put it off for today... And here we are! I feel like I say this every… Continue reading Taro Milk Tea – 7 Leaves Cafe
My dad's favorite boba place, Loose Leaf Boba Company, recently opened up a location close to where I live! Now instead of driving to Long Beach (which isn't that bad I guess, but still quite some time) there's a location in Santa Ana. Well, they're still in their soft opening stage right now, which began… Continue reading Jasmine Green Milk Tea – Loose Leaf Boba Company
