Sunright x Love and Deep Space Drinks
I honeslty had no idea that Sunright, a boba joint was having a Love and Deep Space promotional collaboration event. I really just happened to enter a Sunright because I wanted a drink. Once I realized what was going on, I ended up buying two drinks (one Love and Deep Space drink and one regular drink). So, what’s in it for you if you buy a Love and Deep Space drink? You receive a Sunright x Love and Deep Space cup holder (wrapper?), coaster associated with your drink’s character and a chibi sticker of your drink’s character. The catch is that you have to come early enough to ensure that you can snag the freebies associated with the Love and Deep Space drink. The other catch is that you can only purchase one Love and Deep Space drink per day. (Translation: You can’t buy all 5 in one day.)

OC Japan Fair
I came across many sub-par reviews about the OC Japan Fair that led me to be very hesitant about attending the event. Afterall, I hated the idea of spending money (admission and parking) if I wouldn’t be having at least a good time. In the end, I decided to just go upon realizing that I might be able to avoid others’ sub-par experiences and even enjoy a new addition to the OC Japan Fair.

Seventeen’s Artist Made Collection Pop Up Shop
Seventeen’s Artist Made Collection pop up shop is about to come to a close at The Source in Buena Park. For fans of Seventeen, this is a great opportunity to view their favorite members’ works as well as support it, should they like the item enough. To be honest, everything was practically expensive but that’s sort of expected when it comes to the world of KPOP merchandise and in this case, it’s not just any KPOP merchandise since an artist made it. To what extent they made it is another story, though.

Guo Nam Lion Dance
March is here and Lunar New Year festivities have come to a close. In February, I had the opportunity to watch Guo Nam perform a lion dance at a town center. While I’m glad I got to see the performance, I wasn’t exactly thrilled about some particulars of this Lunar New Year event.

Lunar New Year at Southeast Asia Festival
Lunar New Year vibes were felt at the Southeast Asia Festival thanks to the red lantern decor and the iconic lion dance that is very much a big component of Lunar New Year festivities. I know some people question what Lunar New Year has to do with Southeast Asia as this specific new year is often associated with East Asia by the West. The thing is Lunar New Year is celebrated by the Vietnamese (Southeast Asians) and among Southeast Asian Chinese. There’s a reason why some people opt to celebrate Lunar New Year in a Southeast Asian country, like Thailand, for example. This year aside, many mainland Chinese travel annually to Thailand for Chinese New Year.
