Enjoying my youth

I'm about to hit 30 now. It's not sad until I'm all looking at my friends and how they're doing stuff... Had two people I know have babies recently, my closest friend getting married... Saw my dear friend from elementary through high school get married recently. And don't get me started on how my Facebook looks... Oi, the envy.

I shouldn't feel that way. Compared to them, I can do whatever I want to without having to think about anybody else. And that I did.

Sunrise into Georgia
Everyone else was going away and I was gonna be home alone so I packed my overnight bag, hopped in my car, and set off for Atlanta early early early (like before 6:30am) in the morning with just an energy drink by my side.

This is something I would so do again. Totally. In a heartbeat. As long as gas prices are reasonable.

My main reason for going was to get a Micke desk from IKEA but I had to finally go to the Super H Mart in Riverdale since my brother has been suggesting me to go like forever. There I was introduced to the lovely cream cheese buns from Tous les Jours, a Korean French-style bakery. Gotta give them props for having goodies that are not too sweet.

Obligatory ramune purchase
Along with that, I got some ramune and Pocky as well as a pack of Choco Baby. I was just too drugged up on energy drink that I could barely do anything more than wander the aisle looking at things to try anything adventurous.

Then I got all the goodies from IKEA for my desk as well as a few other edibles.

Basically the weekend can be summed up as I bought a lot, I ate a lot. And it was awesome.

Went home the following afternoon. I kinda wish I stopped more, but I was just anxious to get home so I could call my first ever solo road trip in my new car a success... I need more weekends like that. I'm already planning to go back again to enjoy a few other things Atlanta has to offer. If I were more inclined, I would so move there.
