Are you ready for an influx of posting? My long-time friend kayz0rbeam (met in around 2008-2009 era) came to Taipei to visit me this past week! I got a taxi for her when she arrived and then we got settled at my place before heading out for some dinner and drinks!
This restaurant is supposed to be Hakka cuisine, though I'm honestly not sure what makes it Hakka. We got some duck with taro, stinky tofu with century egg and salted egg, shrimp fried rice, and water lily (?) for a veg.
Rainy day today!!! But I went out for tacos anyway~ Decided to pull out a skirt I rarely wear
Have you heard of Labubu? I was actually surprised to find one of my friends hadn't heard of it despite how big it is not only here in Taiwan, but worldwide it seems! I do not follow Labubu at all myself, but I do know what it is.
So how did I end up buying Labubu? Well, last night my little sister messaged me to ask if we had some new Labubu launches (Big Energy, Take a Seat, and uh... something I forget) but I was unable to find any online.
Then today, my friend (the one who doesn't know who is Labubu) asked if I was free for lunch to grab some Indian good as I'd been craving it recently! So we went to Ximending and as we passed the Pop Mart shop, we were surprised to find there wasn't a queue outside! There is always a queue outside Pop Mart! My theory is that due to the launch of a new collection today, everybody had already come and purchased early on. Plus, it was lunchtime on a weekday.
Anyway, so we popped inside to take a look around!
A few posts ago I mentioned I wanted to get rid of some of my handmade dresses. There's really some problems with several of them and I'm on the fence about whether to keep or toss a few. So here is a collection of my dresses and what my current thoughts on them are!
Yesterday we went to the emergency room again and my mom's white blood cells count was dangerously low, at 400 (it'd been 8000 when released from hospital and 2000 during Monday's hospital visit)
So we were there for about six or seven hours and she got a white blood cell booster shot.
Today we went back for another booster as recommended, and will go back tomorrow as well. Fortunately today only took about an hour.
I wish I had more positive or interesting photos and such to share, but this is how things are right now. And my emergency room outfits aren't terribly interesting ha!
Hope you're all keeping well! Happy almost Mother's Day for those who celebrates!
When my mom was in the hospital I spent too much time browsing shopping sites and ended up buying a little treat for myself of lashes and press-on nails. They have arrived!
On Tuesday night I went to Raohe night market to meet up with my friend Tex who I've known since 2010! Time does fly! Also met his girlfriend who does TRIATHALONS????? And she did one THE MORNING OF THEIR FLIGHT 🙀 That is a lot of energy that I simply don't have 😹
I guess I usually forget to take photos at night markets. I just had some fried quail eggs and a cup of sugarcane juice anyway. There's loads of stuff to see, but I always forget to take photos or video!
Just a short update post today!
