Story: Elite

Hello~

More story writing since I have time now. Sorry its going to be messy and confusing and what not because I didn't edit this beforehand.



I stepped off the plane and into the airport. The sun was shining so bright that i can hardly see. It's been so nice being abroad these few years. Sometimes I wonder why I haven't gone sooner. Perhaps I was waiting for Terence to come into my life to go with me. He already came a couple days earlier and is planning to stay temporary for urgent matters. He's the reason why I'm here now. Our family driver came and picked me up.
"Welcome back miss," he said.
I nodded and rested comfortably at the back seat. I felt the wind on my hand when I stuck it out the window. The sunlight glisten brightly on my engagement ring. It's just a simple single diamond with a silver band. It's just the way I like it. 

I made a pit stop at my favorite coffee shop that he introduced me to. When we were together we used to come here a lot. Even though only a couple of years have passed I felt like the years I've known him never happened like dream. I don't hate him nor do I feel sad anymore because i had met Terence. I feel like he was my savior in my time of despair. When I was alone and sad he appeared in my life. He understands me more than anyone else in this world. I order my usual iced latte.

Kingsley went into a coffee shop to get his coffee. After the accident for some reason he found himself attracted to this place. He discovered that this particular coffee place always makes his orders good and right. Whenever he's drinking their coffee he feels so calm. Though due to his busy workload he hasn't been able to come here as often. 
"Mr your girlfriend just left. I haven't seen you together for awhile" said the barista.
"My girlfriend?" he asked her.
"Yeah when I first started to work here, you two came frequently to our coffee shop. Even the times you weren't together you would always get her coffee. Here's your coffee" the barista handed him.

Tiffany arrived at her home. Since she came back during busy working hours her parents were not there. It was always been like this. Her parents are workaholics who cared about stocks more than their own daughter. She missed her older brother, Derek. He couldn't handle their parents anymore and left home when he was just eighteen. They still talk and he occasionally updates her on his life. Right away Derek moved in with his girlfriend and when she was pregnant. They have always been struggling through the years and couldn't pay their bills on multiply occasions. He's too stubborn enough to not come back home. 
Since she was a little girl Tiffany never had many friends. With her easy personality she knew a lot of people but never got to the friend stage with them. He was her only friend. He was her ex-fiancĂ©, Pierre. She knew Pierre ever since the moment she was born. Both their parents wanted them to get married from the very beginning. Gradually through out the years he became her best friend. Pierre always had the rebellious streak. Despite his parent's wishes he dated a couple of girls during high school. 
Tiffany saw Pierre with a new girl around his arm. His new girl was the bitch and most popular at school, Lily. Tiffany is Lily's half-sister. Derek's parents got divorced. The divorce was nasty and they are no longer on speaking terms. His dad married Tiffany's mom while his mom married Lily's dad. Derek always believed that it was Lily's dad who caused the divorce. He never even acknowledge Lily's existence and refuses to visit his mom. 
Tiffany dislikes Lily. She knows that once she gets a chance Lily will rub it in her face. 


I hope you like it. I will write more as I go. I hope your enjoying your summer so far!

LOVE,

Random Stuff


Hey,

This is going to be a random post with some of the pictures I had taken this semester. i didn't think that each picture was worth a post so I just combined them.

I treated myself a smoothie one day for a job well done. I loved the smoothie place on campus thought the food is only so-so.


Another tuesday of free food. It pizza this time and it was very good.



I went to my sorority's formal which was the the museum. Pretty nice though I need to remind myself to bring a date next year. I stuck around my g-big and her date most of the night hehe. The food was pretty good. I had a really nice time.



On a sunday I had to wake up at 8am and walk to the house at 9:30. We had a family breakfast at this lovely bakery place. The place was pretty tiny we ate outside and it was quite chilly despite the warm sun. I was tired but it was totally worth it.


I had a ham and eggs crepe I think. It taste ok. I also got iced tea and a cute velvet cupcake.


Just another casual day enjoying the passion fruit lemonade tea from starbucks.


It was my sis's commencement so I got her a box of macaroons since I knew that she would like it. Congrats sis! Seriously though I spend all my money on food and drinks. I need to find a job next school year to sustain myself.


Anther studying day at a coffee place though I didn't get coffee. I got iced tea and tiramisu yummy. Studying with food and drinks is the best.

This summer I hope to paint a little bit more and draw a little bit more. Hopefully I can put a story up sometime since I haven't done that for awhile. They're still in bits and pieces on my phone so hopefully I can get it done soon. I wonder if people actually care about what I write. Ah my birthday is tomorrow eep!

Have a lovely summer!

Love,

M

Fine Lunch


Hi,

Yesterday was a fine afternoon so me and sis went out to eat lunch. We went to this fine restaurant.


They had this nice setting on the table very classy. It was during lunchtime so it wasn't very busy. 


They had a nice small bar in the middle. I had to spill water on myself though oops.


I had the braised short ribs with mash potatoes and broccoli. The portion size was decent for the price as I came out of the restaurant full. Then we wanted to get some froyo but the place we wanted to go got shut down so we went to another place.

Later that evening I cleaned my room a bit. I still have tons of stuff on my floor but I need to fix up my closet to have a room to put it.

Thanks for reading!

Love,

M

Ay Another Good Day


Hi,

You know its a warm day when I get a frap. The weather has finally gotten better after the nasty cold winter. A month or so ago I had a pledge event with my business frat which was considered a success. It was on a busy friday night so a million of things occurred at the same time. The new pledges were suppose to meet up at chipotle and go together but only two other girls showed up. Thats ok though. I was wearing my new diamond pattern dress and heels. Wearing those heels around were a bad decision and I ended up borrowing flats for one of the girls. We had raffles and mocktails and light food for our guests. I kept going up to the pledge who was in my acct class to make me drinks ha! I actually got closer to my pledge class during the event which was great. I'm sad that I didn't win any raffles though but we had left over drinks so I took this pellegrino, diet coke, and club soda back with me. I ended up having the opened pellegrino in my fridge for a couple of weeks. I had forgotten about and I gave the rest to my roommate the day before I left.


Talking about fridges one of my sorority sister who is a senior didn't want her fridge. So i got it. I picked it up from the house last saturday. See joining a sorority really helps. Go greek life!


Love,

M

I'm Back



Hello,

So glad to be done with finals. I'm very happy that I got a decent grade in all my classes so no retaking. This semester has been difficult. I was just more busy and had no motivation to do anything.  I got there it and survived.  I moved back home last thursday and I still need to unpack my things. I miss my college friends but i'm super glad to be back home. I'm going to the mall with my sis so thats going to be fun. We're also planning to get a membership to a gym so that we can workout. Basically I'm just going to chill for the summer. This is just a quick update posts and I will post more later.

I'll end it with a lovely starbucks frap~




















Love,

More Macaroons


Hello friends,

Earlier I went to the small french patisserie with my friend.  Since these past few weeks I have been so busy I haven't gotten the chance to hang out with her. A couple of days a ago I saw her at starbucks and we end up talking about the french patisserie that she didn't know about. I really enjoy going to places that sell dessert with her because like me she loves desserts & pastries. We walked there and discovered that it was closed on that day. So today i shot her a text and we walked there this evening. It was really filled but we got our macaroons. I got one of each kind available they were: Chamomile, drunken cherry, dark chocolate, pernod, blueberry, and strawberry basil. She also kind one each like I did. This time i got the opera which was french tiramisu. 



This is another pic of the interior of the store. 

(Opera)

I love how this tiramisu looks. It has 8 layers but a little too hard. I really like how they used dark chocolate as a decor on top. Its definitely not your typical crappy hersheys chocolate because it doesn't have the nasty after taste. The bottom layer chocolate was milk but the texture is like a very thin crunch bar.

(a better picture)

(Chamomile)

Its hard to describe the taste for this one but I like it.

(drunken cherry)

I like the brightness of the color and it did taste quite good.

 (pernod)

I didn't like this macaroon too much because it kinda had a hint of licorice. I don't like the tastes of licorice.
 (blueberry)

This is another good one. It had a hint of blueberry which was not overwhelming and the color was pretty.

(strawberry basil)

This one I would say is my favorite in this time. I really liked it because in the buttercream there was actual pieces of basil! I didn't taste much strawberry in it because it was good.

Sadly I think i forgot to take a picture of the dark chocolate one oops... That was good one too. I'm trying to finish this post quickly because I won't have much time these next few week because of finals.


For my mom's birthday I bought her this lovely thing also from the french patisserie. It looked so cute and had flowers in it. I'm not sure what this is but i think it's something with pistachios.

I'll have to go now and I promise to post more once I'm done with finals.

Have a lovely day!

LOve,

M
