Monologue

I enjoy eating.  I mean if I have to list out the things that make me happy, eating would be rated top of it.  Whenever I arrive home after school, I am always looking for something to eat, even if I’m not so hungry.  My dad said it’s due to “pressure”, and I’m not sure of it.  But one thing I’m sure is that I love going out with my friends, shop and eat together because it’s fun to hang out with them while having some delicious food in front of you.  Back in high school, I used to just go to school, pay attention in class and go straight home to do my homework and study for exams.  I rarely hang out with my schoolmates or friends.  Most of the times when my friends asked me to hang out with them, my reply would most likely be “sorry…I can’t, maybe next time”.  Since going to college, I’ve changed a little bit and started hanging out more often with my friends.  I want to have some excitements and explore more…  Then I discover I enjoy a lot when going out with my friends to shop, explore and try new delicious food together.  Last time, we went to the Italian fair at Little Italy and for the first time, we tried the fried Oreos and fresh strawberry gelato.  We also went to 34^th street to shop around; afterwards, we spent an hour chatting while having delicious Green Tea Frappuccino at the bakery called Paris Baguette.  Since the food is so great there, each of us has bought home cheesecake and pastries for family to try.  Just about a week ago, we visited a Japanese tea lounge at Aster Place, called “Cha An”.  Although the place is tiny, it was cozy and we had some Jasmine Pearl tea along with a tasty snack set consisting of mochi, ice-cream, and many more!  In addition to that, we tried out the Takoyaki, a famous Japanese snack, at the nearby store and it was so yummy!  Last Thursday during lunch break, we went to a nearby bakery shop and tried out the macaroons in different flavors: passion with chocolate, green tea with sesame, raspberry and more.  I love the green tea macaroons and I am craving for more now!  I really enjoy hanging out and exploring new things with my friends and I hope to try more different types of food with them!
