Nom: On Dong Chinese Restaurant

Hanging out with my brother has taken me to all these places that remind me of being in Korea.  He had been talking about korean black noodle the last time that we ate so I was super excited for our lunch.  When we rolled up to this place and I looked at the sign "On Dong Chinese Restaurant" I thought, this is not a Korean Restaurant!! Then we walked in and were greeted with "anyonghaseyo" and I was instantly transported to Korea.  (minus the one table with 3 local boys)  I asked my brother and his friend what was good here and they replied; only three things.  The menu had millions of choices like most Chinese restaurants, but as you looked around at the tables they all had the same dishes. Even the local boys were slurping up the black noodles and the spicy noodles.  So I followed suit, and we ordered: Ja Jang Myun, Sam Sun Jyambon and Gan Poon Chicken.  The food was delicious, spicy, and I kept eating even though I was full because it all tasted soooo good.  It's not fancy inside by any means, but when you cook food this good who cares cause you will leave very satisfied and happy!

Nom: BACON!

Eat the Street had their monthly gathering of food trucks and this was one event I was not about to miss since the theme was B-A-C-O-N.  (quite possibly the best garnish, main dish, dessert and versatile meat out there)  We got there early to avoid the lines and get the dishes before they sold out; but we weren't able to try them all so I hope that they bring the BACON theme back again or the truck continue to make these delicious bacon dishes.

Nom Nom: Doraku Sushi

Another delightful and much needed girl's night out. This time we chose to venture into Waikiki and eat at Doraku Sushi. Goooooooooood food. I highly recommend the chilean sea bass...don't let the small size fool you, it was every bit of goodness in every bite. Also, it's a great spot for Happy Hour,  5-7pm everyday!

Project: Studdin' One More Time

Finding an old pair of shoes that you forgot you owned is like winning the lottery. 

Well not quite, but it is a wonderful thing. 

I found these old snazzy silver flats from Urban Outfitters in my closet, and the ideas came flowing. 

Where have you been hiding! Let me dress you up.

Embellishments change the entire look!

 

Oh, I can't wait to wear you out!

Project: Naughty Notty

I had to work on the weekend at a conference which was expected to be really boring. So in true lehdoit fashion, I made excellent use out of my time. 

One of the other exhibitors handed out these awesome 550 cord bracelets. This cord is also known as parachute cord, meaning this stuff is strong!!!

 I became fascinated with the intricate weave of the bracelet and soon began taking it apart to figure out how it was assembled. And when I got home, I found my neon nylon rope and started making it happen!

Same type of weave, but a thinner cord makes for a different look.

And of course adding rhinestones...

Welcome to the arm party!

So all in all, it was a pretty informative conference to attend in my opinion! teeheehee.
