Nova Eat Fest

just got back from our trip to nova (northern va). We left cville at 10:40am and returned at 11:00pm. Purpose of the trip? Eat something delicious every hour. Chris, Cecilia and I have been planning this trip since last month when Chris almost convinced us to go to nova following a wed prayer meeting (which ended at 11pm) to go eat a meal and then come back. Cecil and I appeased him by promising an Eat Fest in the near future. And today was the day! and I've gotta say... we did pretty well despite not eating very hour but next time we'll be better :)

12:30pm - lighthouse tofu
1:30 - shilla bakery for greentea bingsoo and a box of babyshoo puffs
digest walking around TJ school grounds and tysons mall
4:30 - cinnabon
5:30 - sul-lung tang (beef stew) + boosam (steamed pork wrap)
7:00 - iceberry with mochi

Too bad all of us forgot to bring our cameras! otherwise, this post would be full of scrumptious pictures!!!

Did we plan where we were going to eat prior to leaving? hahaha! nope. it was all "freeflow"
except for lighthouse tofu place.. we all wanted to go there beforehand but yea.. "freeflow." That word was the word of the day and we used it everywhere we went.

"yo? what are we gonna do after lunch?"
"freeflow!!"

"ugh! what is this we're eating?"
"just eat it! freeflow!"

So after eating lunch, we decided we needed some exercise to digest all that we ate and instead of looking for a park or something we decided to visit TJ school of science and engineering, Chris' highschool. Chris said he would show us around school and although i was skeptical of it being open on a saturday afternoon, we went anyway.. not that we had anything else to do, right? So we're approaching the school door and all of a sudden without notice, this asian man pops out of the side door and starts intensely interrogating us about our intention for being there. It went something like this:

Asian man : "WHAT DO YOU NEED? WHAT DO YOU NEED? YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE HERE. SCHOOL IS CLOSED. WHAT DO YOU NEED? WHAT DO YOU NEED?"

Chris: "uh.. nothing, nothing..."

Asian man: "YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE HERE. SCHOOL IS CLOSED."

Chris: "ok"
(we walk back, man stares at us)

It was a very intense moment and we couldn't get over how he just popped out. so instead of seeing the inside of the school, we walked around the entire buiding and got in our car. kinda felt like rebellious highschooler or something. It gave us a good laugh although I hope that that man wasn't too mad... I can just imagine him shaking his head as we left..."stupid kids."

I only have 4 more weekends left until I leave for Korea and then come back to start grad school. I want to use every one of them as fully as possible. And today was perfect mix of relaxing and fun, lots of laughs and trying to fool ourselves that the what we were gorging on were all mainly air and then eating more of it :) I'm completely full~
