Daily Shots: Toy Drive Delivery

The toy drive was a great success this year! Much thanks goes out to all the generous people out there who donated toys and a special big thanks to South Texas Dental for donating a SUV car load of toys. It was so much fun interacting with the kids that came out. HI-15MM were able to visit SEVERAL apartments/villages because of the enormous amount of toys that we had collected. What made things even better was that the folks at each of the locations were very appreciative of what we were doing. The only location that I helped out at was the Lang Thai Xuan village on the southeast side. I also decided to become a rogue volunteer and kept 2 boxes of toys and dropped it off at the Ronald McDonald House, a wonderful organization that I truly believe in.

Houston, TX 77006

I love drinking coffee and I love trying out new and different coffee houses. What makes a coffee joint a place that I will come back to depends on factors such as decor, wi-fi and comfort. They offer free wi-fi for their java drinkers so that's a plus. There's a good amount of places for people to sit and shoot the breeze and the place overall just looks very inviting. As for the coffee itself, I would say it was just so-so. I think Starbuck's may be better but I have to give mucho credit to the barista. I pretty much only order a mocha latte, something simple but I have managed to make it complicated. The barista here however understood what I wanted and was spot on in making my drink. Another cool thing is that they have gelato and it looked yummy! I can't wait to go back and try it.

Daily Shots: Graffiti

This just shows that when graffiti is done right, it can absolutely be tasteful and convincing as art. I drove past the old Jenni's Noodle House location a few times before and decided to finally get some good photos in before the new owner gets rid of the awesome artwork on the outside. I have yet to sample Jenni's Noodle House but I'm sure it's in the books for the near future. Their new location is somewhere on Shepherd Dr and W Alabama.
