A Note + First Time taking the Metrolink

---

So first of all, I want all of you guys (and girls) to know that this blog is basically a JOURNAL ABOUT MY LIFE. Please don't take this blog seriously! This is just to let you guys get an inside scoop on my life adventures (not really).

SO ANYWAYS, the title says it all. Yesterday, I spent the day with the fam bam. We took the Metrolink from Fullerton to San Juan Capistrano. SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO. I had no idea why we went to SJC cause there was literally nothing to do; we ended up taking a bus to Dana Point, where we walked the pier and watched surfers.. well, surf. So after that, we ate at a delicious café, and took a bus back to the Metrolink station. Overall, super duper FUN day and I took a bunch of pics. HOPE YOU ENJOY MY ADVENTURE AT SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO. :)


I believe it was Dana Point beach? LOL

Find some time for your family! This was a super refreshing, stress-reliever trip, and I'm so glad I got to spend it with my family because it's been a while since we had time together. Appreciate every little moment together and cherish it. Anyways, enough of my deep philosophies (jk). I'll talk to you guys (and girls) later!

Puffect, Not Perfect

---

Hey, it's been forever since I've last posted! Just an update about me, these couple of weeks I've been attending summer school and spending a lot of time with friends and family, so I haven't had time to post. And I greatly apologize for that!

Anyways, last Wednesday I went to a café called Puffect Bakery Café. And no, it's not a typo or misspelling error. Just a heads-up, I'm Chinese, so I could totally imagine a native Chinese person attempting to say "perfect" but it sounds like "puffect." But don't let the name fool you!

The food was absolutely delicious and it wasn't as pricey, compared to other cafes. I ordered the Chicken Pesto Panini and a jasmine green tea with added strawberry and lychee. I definitely recommend you to go try it out :)

 

Talk to you guys soon,

Melanie

Since I had late start, I took the chance to eat at this apparently well-known place called Julie's Café with my girl, Shannen. Love you, Shay! Although the place doesn't seem that appealing and looks like a typical donut shop, you are so wrong. Get a chance to eat at Julie's Café, and you'll see why. Anyways, I've read so many good reviews about this place on Yelp! and we couldn't help, but try it ourselves. And what's better than catching up with a friend while eating a delicious breakfast before finals, right?

Our yummy breakfast

The lady in the front was extremely nice and everything about Julie's Café had that "make yourself feel right at home" theme.  I ordered the bacon bagel sandwich and a regular-sized Strawberries Forever smoothie. My sandwich was so delicious that just thinking about it right now makes my stomach growl. My strawberry drink was probably the best smoothie I've ever drank. Since they used real fruits, it tasted so fresh and cold, which was perfect for the warm weather. Sorry, I'm really not good at writing food reviews!                     

But I really recommend getting this sandwich, unless you're not a bacon lover like me. So Shannen ordered the veggie bagel sandwich and the kale smoothie, which is particularly famous in Julie's Café. The kale smoothie is basically a veggie and fruit drink, but you mainly taste the fruits. Julie's Café was such a good place to eat and we'll definitely be going back there again very soon!

I'll talk to you guys soon,

Melanie
