BLOG -- Recap of April

April was a pretty busy month. My boyfriend and I completely forgot about Good Friday and went to a Costco that was closed. It was unsettling seeing an empty parking lot for Costco. We also started doing some weekly goals to slowly progress doing some things we wanted to do for the year.

Outings / Events in April:

- Had lunch with former co-workers. It was nice catching up with them.

- I took advantage of a Shoppers Optimum promotion and have subscribed to AppleTV for free for 3 months. As long as I watch one thing it'll be worth it. :)

- Had lunch with my sister and friend. It was a fun time.

Exposures:

- (Food place): Union Chicken -- I tried a chicken & waffle dish. The server said it wasn't spicy but I still tasted a bit of heat. :x

Finished...

Watching:

- (Movie): The Big Short -- This was pretty interesting.

- (Movie): Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) -- This was pretty interesting, too.

- (Movie): Exit 8 -- This makes me want to try out the game.

- (Movie): Super Mario Galaxy -- Not as good as the first movie, but it was still very entertaining.

- (Movie): Terrifier 3 -- Still too gory for me.

- (Anime): Ace Attorney -- It was nice seeing some of the cases animated, though I think the pacing was a bit fast. There are a couple episodes that are not in the video games, so that was extra fun.

That's it for April. Here are some pics and screenshots I took this month plus a YouTube video.

An appetizer my former co-workers and I shared. I enjoyed the meat skewer and the squash fritters. Almost everything else had a bit of spice in it.

The chicken & waffle dish at Union Chicken. It was a lot of chicken but a little too spicy for me.

My boyfriend and I came across some promoters giving away these Reese's Nougat bars. They were really good!

This was the first time I got first place in A finals in any of the Champions Meetings for Umamusume. I couldn't be happier. XD

The uma that got me to A finals and to 1st place. She'll never be sent to the glue factory, lol.

"You Paid $6,000 for Coachella 2026... FOR THIS?!" by Social Symone. She posted more videos about various Coachella experiences and from watching them all, I have no interest in ever attending Coachella. :/

Thanks for reading!
