It's interesting on how a second could change everything. Because I left the house at that exact time, and because I decided to go in the carpool lane in that exact moment, I got that exact parking spot. What's so great about the parking spot? It was right next to Patty's car. A second too late means that someone could've taken that spot. A second too early means that Patty might not have been there. But it was timed just perfectly. Look at it this way, if I didn't park next to Patty, she wouldn't have called me and I wouldn't have switched cars to sit in hers. Therefore, I would've walked alone to class, waited outside of Patty's class, which she didn't go to, and assumed she didn't make it to school today. Which also means that I would've sat alone in Astro today. But good thing none of that happened!
     After De Anza, I went straight to school, bumped into Amanda, and was ABOUT to take my ServSafe test when... What do you know? It hasn't been mailed yet! FML! Lol. Oh well. One more day to "study"! As I left, Amanda asked to borrow money (approximately $200) so she can help out that douchebag that's using her. In my head, I was like "FUCK NO! I'm not gonna help out that asshole. I'll never get my money back!" But I told her that I didn't have any cash on me. Who carries $200 on them?
     Long story short, as I get back to the apartment, Blake wasn't there, so I ended up making food and watching I Am Legend. He came back, we watched some more I Am Legend. Went to school.
     We made Souffle today! I had to do it twice since I messed up the first time. Not much happened...
     Blake picked my up after class and I chilled at the appartment with Em and Blake for a little, then I left to run some errands. Now, I'm at home and craving some eggs, specifically the yolk. Yum!!

     If only it could be plaid... As I was walking to my class at De Anza, I thought about how awesome it would be to walk up to a person that was misfortunate and share my umbrella with them. But... I didn't find anyone that was walking my way. Maybe tomorrow? I need to build up my karma points... and my network.
     Oh how I love to walk around in the rain. If only I had rainboots to complete this endless bliss. I found that it doesn't matter if my socks and shoes are wet, if I blast the heater on towards my feet in the car, it'll dry it up! nice and toasty! Hehe.
     I spent some time with Blake, before PCI. I was trying to take a nap until this extremely loud thunderstorm boomed down! It set off my car alarm! It was pretty hilarious.
     We made Tiramisu and Hazelnut Daquoise in class today. We'll get it tomorrow! Ew.. I despise Gelatin! Bleh.. Some girl in the new culinary class fainted today, you know what they say, "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen." Lol, jk... No really.
     After class, I had pizza for the 3rd night in a row with Em and Blake. Yum! Lovin` Pizza Hut! We hung out for a bit, played some scene it, and I sparred Blake. I won of course. White guys can't spar, it's hilarious!! Love! After a while of me talking nonsense because I was sleepy, I went home.
     So now I'm at home. I've been on the PC for quite a while now... I should go now because it's getting late (11:42PM)... Night loves!

     After a day of doing almost nothing, besides watching The Office and cleaning my sister's car, I went over to my cousins house for dinner. By the time I arrived, my cousins and brothers already left to go to another cousin's house... So I stuck around for a bit and had dinner, then ventured my way over to Blake's pad.
     When I got there, it was just him and me... and of course Kira. We ended up watching Robin Hood, Men In Tights. Super funny movie. Then Kira put in another movie; The Princess Bride, I must say it's one of the best, but not a favorite. Then, she put in ANOTHER movie, a movie that Blake didn't like, it doesn't matter what the title is because we then decided to not watch that movie and we relocated ourselves. Let's just say that in the middle, Kira just starts bursting out in song and her voice is not something you'd like to hear. Eventually though, Sky and Em came home and we just locked ourselves in the room, talking, laughing, and sharing stories. 
     Today was an unexpected day for me. I didn't expect to go see Blake, but I went anyways. Fun day.

     You can get this parasite from eating Herring, Cod, Mackeral, Halibut, Pacific Salmon which have been in contaminated water.
     Why do I love this Parasite? Because if you get it, the result is; tingling in throat and coughing up worms. Yup, worms.
     I really hope a question about Anisakis is on the test, I know I'll get that one for sure! Along with Salmonella, E. Coli, Shigella, Staph, Bacillus, Vibrio, Listeria, and many more. To think that I despised anything science related...

     I used to complain about how self centered people were, but this past week, I've noticed that it's not that we're self centered, it's just human nature to relate everything to ourselves. Yes, there are some MAJORLY self-centered people out there... not saying any names, but it happens, I guess... This past week, I've met an incredible amount of new people. I used to despise meeting new people, Pourquoi? Because they just annoyed the heck out of me, I figured that deep down, inside everyone, there was some ugly. But that's a story for another day.
     Anyways, back to what I was saying. These new people that I've met and talked to, I noticed that when someone strikes up a fact or life experience that they've went through, the person that they were conversing with would say something about themselves also in return. Everybody who I met and observed did this. Interesting much?  
     It seems as if one person asks a subliminal question as they are talking about themselves and the other person replies with a subliminal questions as they relate.

Ex:
Guy: Dude, this girl is pissin' the shit out of me. She wont clean up after herself or pay the friken rent!
Buddy: Omg, I know someone like that! It pisses me off too!

Notice how when Guy strongly states an opinion about a girl he dislikes, Buddy responds to that subliminal question; "Doesn't it piss you off too?"

     Anyways, whether you agree with me or not, it's just something that I have long observed and chuckled at. Human nature is such an odd and complex thing. One day... I'll sit at a coffee shop, sipping some cafe mocha and just observe everything. It's like going to the zoo! Lol.
     The thoughts that run through my head. Just something I thought of. Happy babe?

     Last day of ServSafe! I have to take the test on tuesday so I can be officially Certified now! Lol. Yesh, finally! Lol.
     Blake Audited our class today. We did a lot of plating and we also made Molten Lava Cake. Yum! We also made some creme brulee. This whole day was mainly dedicated on plating, it was pretty fun, yet again, I was extreemely tired. I practiced my chocolate fans! I'm getting worse! Lol. I really need to work more on that too! Actually, I really want to work more on everything!
     After class, Blake and I went back to his appartement. I sorta talked to Kira today, she's really distancing herself away from everyone. Then, Blake and I went out to Taco Bell for dinner. Apres, we went to Borders at Santana Row and looked at the food section. Then we sat down and read some FML Stories. Lol! We're so random! We then walked and looked around at Anthropologie, then we went to LB Steak so he could meet with his Chefs again. We went through the back and it was the first time I'd ever been in a legit kitchen! Everyone's so friendly, Blake kinda stranded me by the door, but his chefs went up to me and introduced themselves, then they were like, "BLAKE! You left your GF!" Lol. I talked to Carlos for a bit, then I was dragged to the inside of the kitchen, where I guess "The Line" is at. Blaked talked to his Chefs, he looked so happy, I really wish they offered him a job there, he knows everyone in the kitchen, and he's so cool with everyone too.
     After LB, we went into Crate and Barrel! Yes! I friken love this store! I've always wanted to go into it and I finally did! Blake and I were talking about the furniture and If we ever moved in together, what we would HAVE to get and everything. Then we looked at a bunch of rugs; we decided that we're going to get a shag rug. It's so SOFT! After a while of wandering around, we then went to The Container Store. Love!!! Eventually, we made it to the best store ever, Sur La Table. We didn't buy anything though, just looked around and dreamt of buying things... So Expensive!!! After a while of sitting outside and chilling, we decided to go back to the apartement where Kira was still sitting on the chair and watching yet another movie... Eventually, I had to go home.
     I have a big day ahead of me! Gotta catch up on French, re write my trig notes, clean my room, wash Clover, clean the kitchen... and probably work on Tuiles, Caramel Paste or Chocolate. Bye!

     ServSafe was the same 'ol, same 'ol. In class we made caramel paste and after we baked it off, we shaped it into any shape or design we wanted. I like using caramel rather than tuile because it's easier to form and to reheat. I really want to practice my tuiles though, forsure, I want to get really good at these 2. We also made some pretty cool Hazelnut caramel drips. I don't know the name of it, but basically, you carameliza sugar, take a hazelnut and put it on a skewer, then dip it in the caramel several times. Then, you hang it off the side of the table, using tape to secure it down. Pretty cool! It starts to drip, then leaves a really nice carmelized sugar strand, which eventually you'll cut to the desired length. I saved a bunch of mines so I can use it to plate tomorrow. It adds height and color to the plate.
     After class, I was about to go home to practice Tuiles and Caramel, but then Blake and Em texted/called me asking if I wanted to go to Chipotle's with them. Of course I said yes, who doesn't like Chipotle's?! (Ahem... Wilson...) Anyways, I met up with them and we stayed there for HOURS! Lol. We just talked and talked, mainly about the 2 pests in our lives... After a few hours, we went to Jamba Juice and stayed there for another good hour or two just talking again. then we went back to the appartment so I could get the sheetpan, then I went home.
     What a fun, interesting, yet tiring night... Bed time!
     -Banhzaii

     I woke up early for ServSafe... Then had class, we made Bread Pudding and Panna Cotta. Not much happened in class. I was really drained so I wasn't really working too fast...
     After class, I went to Blake's pad. It's our first monthaversary! He made spaghetti (with a bunch of mushrooms) and garlic bread. Yum! Lol. We had a nice, peaceful candle light dinner; It was delicious and priceless. Apres, we went to Santana Row to catch a movie. Blake prepaid for tickets; we watched Avatar 3D! So Good! At first, I was kinda dizzy, but I stuck it through and I didn't get dizzy anymore after that. It was a fun night overall. Tres Romantic, J'aime Blake! lol. We didn't spend much time after the movie, since it was already 10. So I dropped him off and now I'm at home. Sleep time!
