One of the things I’ve wanted to do for YEARS was get involved in sponsoring the FFXIV World Race. Seeing it finally happen now that I’m in a position to help make it a reality feels genuinely surreal. As a longtime XIV fan and racer, this one means a lot to me personally 💚

Our collectors sealed made it on Day 2!

Merry Early TCG Christmas!

We stayed up till 7 😂

Meat sweats are for friend-time-together at #PAXWest ➡️ @watchgirlsplay.bsky.social @jessecox.bsky.social @friskk.bsky.social @silverddragn.bsky.social

YUE CARD REVEAL

BRING ME CARDBOARD PICTURES OF SPIDER-MAN! 🫴🏾

KATARAAAAAAA

All my FF x MTG promo prizing from the last two weeks of grinding. I can’t believe there’s only 8 weeks between sets. Feels like we did not get enough time enjoy it but it was fun to eat, sleep, and breath Magic like I was a pro for a bit 🥳

I went undefeated in two other tournaments this last week winning the last FF x MTG promo I needed for my collection 🙌🏽 I actually can’t believe how much I’ve improved playing in these tourneys. I originally was just gonna play in 1 tournament for the participation promo 😂

Won my first @magic.wizards.com Standards Showdown 🥳

Final Fantasy died so Sonic could live 😭

Thank you for the kind words, Yoshi-P 🙏🏽 This one’s a permanent part of the collection now 🙌🏽

Ran into Foxclon on the show floor!

Time to spend all my hourglasses on Eevee Grove!

MagicCon was 3 straight days of Magic for 22 hours a day on maybe 4 hours of sleep. Totally worth it. First con in years where I wasn’t roped into working somehow. Just pure chaotic fun. Here’s all the sealed product I brought back (not counting the packs I cracked) 🥰

Magiccon Mission Accomplished 🫡 I believe I’m the only person in the world with 2x Foil Tifa Promos, 4x normal Tifa promos, 1x Swords to Plowshares promo, and at least 1 of every other version of Tifa (normal, foil, surge foil) Never doubt my dedication to Tifa Lockhart 👊🏽💥

WE GOT HER 👊🏽💥

When your glam is high and your gear score’s higher 💅 Final Fantasy XIV fits from @blackmilkclothing.bsky.social + @fromcaliko.com never miss. Perfect for #Fanime2025 Day 1!

Flippoly | Sandwiches | Buena Park Hashbrown 👍🏽+ Bulgogi BBQ 👍🏽+ Angus Beef Sandwich 👍🏽+ Bacon Cheese 👍🏽+ Blue Lemonade 👍🏽+ Flippoly serves up some seriously large #goodeats. The Hashbrown stands out with a distinct flavor that sets it apart from the other sandwiches, making it more than just a side.

I got into Solo Leveling but now my timeline is flooded with spoilers. I’ve never seen such blatant spoilers on my timeline from a community before 🤨

My restocks of Majima Everywhere is finally in!!! The design has been updated to show more of the Majima details and has 3 pinbacks. Grab it on my Etsy: fromcaliko.etsy.com/listing/1010... Use code: “KAWAIISO” for free shipping until 4/6

Hanuman | Thai Eatery | Costa Mesa Pad Thai 🔥🔥 Pad See Ew🔥 Boat Noodle 🔥 Karee Curry🔥 Khảo Soi 👍🏽+ Ceviche 👍🏽+ Coco Mango 👍🏽 Thai Tea 👍🏽 If you’re a fan of Thai #goodeats, Hanuman is an absolute must-visit! This place quickly became one of my top Thai restaurants in SoCal.

Just got the stunning GeForce RTX 5090 and I can’t get over how beautiful it is. The design is a work of art, and it’s as powerful as it looks. Can’t wait to see it in action! #RTXON

Kind reminder to everyone when they ask you at work "are you feeling better?" that you were sick on Friday 🙂

Misoolkwan | Korean Pub | Buena Park Rose Tteok-bokki 🔥 Bone-in Garlic Chicken 👍🏽+ Tasty Cheesy Popping Corn Pancake 🆗 The Rose Tteok-bokki is creamy with just the right kick. Barley tea is complimentary and refreshing. #goodeats came out fast. Worth a visit!

Thanks Ishihara for reminding me that I'm older than Pokemon itself 😅

My hype for @monsterhunter.capcomusa.com is at an all time high 🙌🏽

The @monsterhunter.capcomusa.com swag at the launch event 🙌🏽

Tsujita LA Artisan Noodle | San Gabriel Kaarage 🔥- Tontaksu Ramen 👍🏽+ Chashu Bowl 👍🏽 The standout #goodeats are the Kaarage – it’s incredibly flavorful with just the right amount of garlic. The Ramen boasts a clean and tasty broth and The Chashu Bowl had nicely charred pork 😋

Kawaii Boba Tea House | Fullerton Matcha Strawberry 🔥 Galaxy Milk Tea 👍🏽+ Kawaii Dog Original & Potato 👍🏽 The cheese foam goes really well with the Matcha Strawberry. The Galaxy is an above average milk tea. The corndogs are fairly basic but no real complaints here. #goodeats

Can we taco bout my kind of Valentines Day flowers? 🌮 💐 #goodeats

Mikiya Shabu House|Cerritos Sweet Shrimp 🔥 A5 Wagyu Chuck Ribeye 👍🏽+ A5 Wagyu Shoulder Cut 👍🏽+ Wagyu Brisket 👍🏽+ Fried chicken 👍🏽 Abalone 👍🏽 Sweet buns 🆗 Part of the Chubby restaurants, these are expensive #goodeats even with their Gold NFT but honestly kinda worth for the AYCE and excellent service.

You know the feeling when you throw an amazing event and everyone had fun and clean-up was minimal and the vibes were immaculate I'm riding that high right now The housewarming party was so fucking good It's been such a long time since I planned out an event but I still got it🤗

Eat’s Sushi | Costa Mesa New Style Salmon Sashimi 🔥 Sushi Blossom No Rice Roll 👍🏽+ Fire Island Roll 👍🏽+ Spider Roll 👍🏽+ Baby Lobster Roll 👍🏽+ Dragon Roll 👍🏽 Crunch Roll 👍🏽 Alaskan Roll 👍🏽 Pretty decent sushi spot for #goodeats. Prices are relatively low but I wish they did AYCE here.

Finished the solo content again while watching the whales figure out meta decks. Getting Darkrai and Weavile is gonna require some luck 🍀

I should probably spend these…

The last time I wore an Ao Dai, I was just 9 years old. Now, I’m embracing my heritage and reconnecting with my Vietnamese roots. Wishing everyone a Happy Lunar New Year filled with joy and prosperity! ❤️

I just got gifted @pathofexile2.bsky.social 2... Last time I logged in was 13 years ago and I never made it past lvl 1...

Displate officially has too much information on my preferences 😅

The Yellow Spices | Indian | Irvine Dum Gosht Biryani 🔥 Butter Chicken 🔥- Tandoori Sea Bass 👍🏽+ Mango Kulfi (Ice Cream) 👍🏽 + Chanajor Garam Tikka 👍🏽+ Garlic naan 👍🏽 Phenomenal Indian #goodeats that rival Silicon Valley’s best Indian restaurants.

I hate politics.

Benchmark | New American | Santa Ana Chorizo Goat Cheese Flat Bread 👍🏽 Parmesan Herb Fries 🆗 Steak Sandwich 🆗 Artichoke Fondue 🆗 I’m surprised I didn’t like this restaurant since I normally like New American. The flat bread was decent but I didn’t expect it to be so sweet

Chic Now Hainan Chicken Rice | Stanton Lychee Sugarcane 👍🏽+ Chicken Fried Rice 👍🏽+ Sautéed Bok Choy 👍🏽+ Hainan Chicken Rice 👍🏽 Came for the Hainan Chicken #goodeats but had to save it with sauces. The Bok Choy was super clean and the sugarcane was super refreshing.

Pasta e Pasta by Allegro | Italian | Cerritos Mentai Cream Pasta 👍🏽+ Uni pasta 👍🏽+ The flavors (especially Uni) are well pronounced but not overpowering. They also give you a decent portion but aren’t too heavy either. Honestly, I think it rivals ini resturante pastas 👀

do alliance raid they said, it'll be fun they said. At least I got the minion :)

Chubby Skewers | BBQ | Rowland Heights A5 Wagyu Tongue 🔥 Pork Belly 👍🏽+ Lamb 👍🏽+ A5 Black Pepper Wagyu 👍🏽 A5 Wagyu Brisket 👍🏽 Going here is like being transported to an Asia Night Market 🙌🏽 You definitely gotta know how to cook your own #goodeats since the grill doesn’t flip the meat for you.

EZ Pull. Welcome home The Herta.
