Coffee in Little Italy

Tonight was a good night hanging out/studying with Lauren and Daphne. We headed down to a cute cafe in Little Italy, Downtown San Diego (here's the site----> Cafe Italia ). I ordered a Muddy River which was made from dark chocolate gelato blended with soda water and whip cream. At first, I thought it would taste really weird with combining gelato and soda water but then it actually turned out really good! It was really creamy though so I can just imagine how much calories I am consuming but it is totally worth it :) Studying went decently well and we left just as the Cafe is closing.

This was then followed by an hour of driving around everywhere and anywhere. We did not do a very good job of getting lost as we planned but we did see some new places. As usual, lots of photo-taking and loud blasting of music was complimentary. When we got back to campus, Lauren and Daphne decided they are feeling funky. Fortunately all is well in the end.

Lastly, I want to end this post by sharing this email sent me about a conversation between the pencil and the eraser. I thought it was pretty touching:

Pencil:   I'm sorry....   

Eraser:  For what? You didn't do anything wrong.  

Pencil:   I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time   

Eraser:  That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.

I am not sure where this email originated from, but as the person pointed out, this conservation IS inspirational! With the eraser as the parent and the pencil as the child, it just goes on to show how much sacrifices our parents made for us-- always being there and cleaning up after our mess.They never want us to get hurt even though they get older (or "smaller" like the erasers) on the way. It just makes me feel so grateful towards my parents and all that they had done for me. I just want to say I LOVE YOU, MOM AND DAD! <3 Someday, whenever I am able to, I want to be your eraser and be the one looking after you and erasing away all your worries.
