The Red Cup from Starbucks
Sometimes, it’s the smallest of things that bring a smile to our faces. Not long ago, I was able to get hold of a Starbucks red cup. I know that some people scoff at the “red cup” frenzy but I see it as a “gift” to yourself. Obviously, it’s a gift with strings attached in that you can only get the “red cup” if you purchase a holiday drink, while the cups are still available.

The Empress of Ayodhaya
Image Source: @davikah My forms of entertainment and enjoyment have revolved mainly around free events, festivals and nature outings simply because things have gotten way too expensive for me to justify it as a reasonable want in any way. While most people I know have a subscription to Netflix or something similar, I can’t even bother with such a thing. That’s just how bad things have gotten and it’s a reality check for anyone that is residing in a high cost of living state. So, I’ve been turning to “free” entertainment online with the latest being a drama series called, “The Empress of Ayodhaya” or “Mae Yua”.

Thai Fest by the Beach
I must have been living under a rock or something because I only recently learned about Thai Fest by the Beach. Apparently, it’s a festival that occurs at the Santa Monica Pier every year and this year was my first time attending it. What have I been missing out on? Let’s find out.

Deko Car during Nisei Week
After seeing a minimal amount of itasha cars in Anaheim, I wasn’t sure what to expect at Deko Car. Would there be a lot of itasha cars? Or would there be a small amount of itasha cars, similar to the Anaheim event? Regardless, it didn’t matter much to me since I was going to be in Little Tokyo for not just Deko Car but for Nisei Week and Natsumatsuri.
