The Dropbox
I just watched The Dropbox, a documentary focusing on disabled babies dropped off, or abandoned, at the home of Pastor Lee in Seoul, South Korea. After watching the film, I realized that I never really had an opinion on disabled children or people. Growing up in America and in a town where I grew up with virtually zero physically disabled kids, I was never exposed to disabilities long enough to have a deeper thought about it. I volunteered at a disabilities olympics once for a school project and I've passed by disabled people on the streets, but I have never been confronted to think about disabilities in the way this film made me think.
Although the film was created through the eyes of a Christian pastor and Christian church, I have no doubt that a non-believer would be touched by the true care and true love displayed between Pastor Lee and his adopted children. I am a Christian myself, which allowed the film to hit home in my heart. I was convicted: God didn't bring disabled children into this world to make them suffer. God created all of his children, disabled or fully functional, for a purpose.
In the end, we are all disabled; either physically, mentally, or emotionally. Yet, we all were created for a purpose, and even beyond that purpose and beyond any disability, hurt, or sin, God still loves us.
I encourage you all to watch the film. It's in theaters for only three days: March 3, 4, & 5 @ 7pm in select theaters.

Ice Cream Lab
Having been so popular in Beverly Hills, Ice Cream Lab opened in Pasadena (soon in Little Tokyo) and I was glad to try it. I got the blue velvet: vanilla ice cream mixed with blue velvet cupcake and cream cheese frosting. Ice Cream Lab is pretty cool because they make your individual ice-cream right on the spot with nitrogen--nothing pre-made. I got the blue velvet because it was their most popular, but I'd probably go with a less loud flavor next time like vanilla or or horchata. It was too sweet in my opinion and extra creamy with the cream cheese--it was really good for what it was so all red/blue/rainbow velvet cupcake lovers out there can rejoice. I'm just more of a rosemary, floral, olive oil flavor gal.

so many hospital workers are so unmotivated, sassy, and slow.

Dear Diary, today I
At night I went out and adventured downtown LA with Rebecca. Ate at Guisados-- *Janice voice* OH my gawd...the tortillas were the best tortillas I've ever eaten. Before tonight, Los Agaves in Santa Barbara had the best tortillas, but Guisados topped it. They have a thick thick, handmade corn tortilla...it was the highlight for me lol. They're even non-gmo! I got the sampler with 6 different meats: steak picado, bistek en salsa pioja, tinga de pollo, mole poblano, chicarron, and cochinita pibil. They were all good. I would come back again. Their horchata is also really good--not watered down at all. You can even add a shot of Stumptown Coffee espresso to make it a dirty horchata! I wish they could sell their tortillas in bulk though.....
Stepped inside a gallery by an artist named Todd and we had the pleasure of listening to him explain his art to us. Took a stroll around the area, saw many many new and trendy bars. Really reminded me of the Greenwich village in New York. We went up to the rooftop at the Ace Hotel and then called it a night.
