21st Birthday Recap
Time is going by very fast, but I’m also not using it as wisely as I should. I am going to update as fast I can on my birthday since I haven’t updated about it. I especially want to get it done before October comes by, which is tomorrow! So, here is my belated birthday post. Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with me.
This is my first alcoholic drink at the age of 21, but it is also my first alcohol that I really drank for more than a tiny sip! Haha. I don’t even know what it is. Niki ordered it for me. It tasted like pineapple soda. Very sweet and delicious.
Here’s a group photo of the girls: Kanie, me, Niki and Bridget. Niki planned most of this whole night together, which I’m extremely grateful. I invited Kanie and Bridget because I wanted them to come as well.
Here’s a group photo of the guys: Avo, Khang and Suren. These were mostly Niki’s friends, but they were fun and nice guys to talk to. It was my first time meeting them as well. Haha.
For The Past 3 Weeks…
My life has been overwhelming busy and stressful lately, so that’s why I haven’t been updating. I have decided to update now because tomorrow’s my 21st birthday, and I will be celebrating it. I am positive that some (alcoholic) drinks will be involved since 21 is the legal age to drink in the states, but I am definitely not going to be wasted. And for most people who know me, I don’t really drink. But anyway, here is a long overdue update.
For the first week and a half, southern California mountains were on fire all over. The air quality wasn’t good at all. You can see ashes, and you can smell the air quality being worse than it usually is. The fires definitely made the sun glow in a red-orange color during sunset, and it felt really surreal at times.
I went to the photojournalism lab on one Wednesday to test out the studio lighting there since I figured it would be good to learn, especially since it is all what my ART455A Advertising Photography class is about. Studio lighting is tough work with setting up the lights and everything. I still don’t really know how to work it well, to tell you the truth. Paul helped out a lot, and we first tried out this toy car that he brought. This was my favorite shot out of all.
Sherry’s 21st Birthday, Part 2 - Dinner & Kitty
After Huntington Beach and washing up, we went to a restaurant called Newport Seafood in San Gabriel. They are known for their crabs and lobsters, and you can see them right as you enter the restaurant. I was astonished by them because they really were huge.
Haha. Here’s a sign to assure you that the crabs in the water tanks are real. I’m sure they got a lot of children poke at the water tank windows when they are waiting to be seated.
Anyone who knows me knows that I almost don’t leave a restaurant wtihout taking photos of their food! The first plate was French style beef with onions and tomatoes. The pieces of beef were very tender and delicious.
