Me

Hehehe
Just a couple of pictures of me from a wedding I attended.
It's rare having my picture taken because I'm usually the one taking the picture~
You could tell by the way I came out, but...
I look awkward in the pictures!!!! kkk

I'm just not used to it~

Maybe I should start a self-portrait series! ;-)

Dinner

Met up with some REALLY old friends to celebrate my bday~ ^^

We had some chicken ribs(?) in k-town.
This place is always packed and so good, but yesterday was especially good!!!

Maybe because of the people I was with~ ^^

The picture above is a cute little cake Jina got for me...

Soooooooo cute!!!!

Thank you so much~ ^.-

And of course... we had to hit up the NoRaeBang baby!!!!!!
This was my first time at this place, but it was nice~
It had big rooms, sound was good, and song selection was good too!

Our gathering was kind of short, but it's always a pleasure...
Wish we could meet up more often!
It's so comfortable and nice because they are like brothers to me~
Thanks for everything!!!!!!!
We, for sure, have to go on a road trip with a NoRaeBang AGAIN!!!
Hehehehe

Good Morning!

It is the start of another week~
But this week will be a little shorter than usual because of the July 4th weekend...
So everyone should be happy!!!!! ^^

I woke up early today because... guess what time I slept last night???? ;;;;;
8PM!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahaha
I don't know why, but I was extremely tired~
Even though I slept early, I didn't get a good sleep...
I woke up like every couple hours and checked the time~ T.T so sad~
This is why I'm up right now writing this blog...

Anyways, I have great Monday...
I saw the news this morning and it seems like the weather is going to be in the high 90s to 100.
Keep cool~ :)

Beautiful Day!

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehe
Well, she said that there is a 2nd open ticket sale so I will be keeping my fingers crossed~ ^^

Off to Vegas!!!!!

Thank You!

Thank you everyone for all your calls, texts, emails, and ims.

L.A. to Laguna

We went to a photography exhibition opening reception in Irvine.
One was called "Toy Camera" and the other was "Analog/Digital III".
I thought that the "Toy Camera" show was better than the other.
In the "Analog/Digital III", I realized once again that digital CANNOT beat film!

So sad~ :(

A group of us went to Laguna Beach to eat the best burrito ever!!!!
It's still sOOOO good~
But I couldn't enjoy it as much as before because of my braces~ T.T

Old Town

Look at ALL these yummy desserts~ :P

This was our appetizer...
Calamari... yum~
French Fries... yum~
Mozzarella sticks... yum~

We had an Italian Feast
Pasta everywhere!!!!! hehehe

This was the cake the restaurant gave us!

Thank you for everything everyone!!!! :)

"Love is patient"

L.A. Day

I have been craving for some pho and today I got to eat it!!!!

Usually my cousin doesn't go with me, but he was craving it also today.

We got the rare steak pho, summer roll, and extra onions as usual~ ^^

AND we got free soft drinks because they were giving it for their grand re-opening.

Met up with Junior tonight.
We ate some good salad at CCC then went to get some gelatos!
Can't believe I had gelatos twice in one week~ hehe
I'm going through a crazy ice cream phase~
I'll do anything for ice cream!!!!! kkk

We stopped by Jimbone's house and he was playing the GTA as usual.
I feel that it's very vulgar and violent, but today, it was so hilarious!!!!
hahahahahaha
He started flying around in his JETPACK!!!! kkkk
Sooooo sad~ :)

Then, all 3 of us headed back to Junior's place.
I had to drop him off, but Jimbone needed to pick up his bike.
On our way, stopped by the liquor store so they can get their drinks and jerky~
It was very random for me~
We got to Junior's pad and chilled for awhile.

I just got home...
It was a long day even though I didn't do much...
I'm tired so I am going to hit the sack~
Good night!

Wedding

Wedding

Out

Spent the whole day out eating stuff~
Started the day with lunch at Charo Chicken with a friend!!!! yummy~ :P
Too bad I have no images from there~ T.T

Met up with another friend for a before dinner dessert~ kkk
Some tasty watermelon, pistachio, grapefruit gelato!!!!
Too bad the watermelon had a really sweet after-taste.

Me talking to someone... don't remember who~ ;;;;

She took herself...
It's pretty good~
Crazy skills!!!!

The Weekend

It was a busy weekend this weekend~ hehehe
I had a 1 year memorial service for a friend, a wedding, and a baccalaureate.

Pictures coming soon! :)

Proverbs

Laziness vs. Diligence

• Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.
• All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
• The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.
• Anyone who tills the land will have plenty of bread, but one who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.

Craving and Satisfaction

• The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
• The sluggard's craving will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work. All day long he craves for more, but the righteous give without sparing.

Happiness

Seek happiness for its own sake, and you will not find it;
Seek for duty, and happiness will follow as the shadow comes with the sunshine.

- Tryon Edwards

Friday the 13th

Out of sight...
Out of mind~

The Americana

Finally got a chance to hang out with Booty today...
It's been awhile~
Sorry!!!! ^^;;;;;


Went to go check out the new Americana.
It was whatever~
It's suppose to be similar to the Grove in L.A., but it's no contest!
I mean they have some stores that the Grove doesn't have and the design is similar...
But, it's just not the same~
The people, the enviornment, etc...
The Grove just seems more upper-class~

When we got there, everything was basically closed or closing, except for the coffee shops and restaurants.
So, we went to Cheesecake to snack on some stuff.
We splitted a frest strawberry cheesecake, which was delicious, I got a frozen ice mango juice, and I forgot the name of what she got~ ;;;;;
It was a good time to catch up on things~ ^.-
Hope to see you soon!

Vent

I really don't like people who can never admit that they are/were wrong.
I really really really don't understand it!!!!!
I think I admit it when I am wrong~... if I don't, PLEASE let me know!
Uuuuugggggghhhhhhh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't know why it bothers me so much.
If you are wrong or proven wrong, just say "I was wrong".
Is that so hard????? -.-;;;;;
Don't try to justify it or turn it around and blame other people or pick some small detail that doesn't even matter and start arguing about THAT!
I will try really really really hard NOT to be like this~

Summer School

Started summer session this week.
I'm very excited!!!! ^^
I'm taking a digital lab class and a view camera class.
I can't wait for the view camera~
I learned it a little bit during the spring semester, but in the first day of class, I realized that what I learned before was nothing compared to what i'm going to learn...
Ggggggyyyyyeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhh~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to be like Ansel Adams!
Puhahahahahahahahahaha
I wish! hehehe

20080604

I was bored out of my mind so I started to walk around my neighborhood.
I ended up walking for 3 hours~ -.-;;;;

I wanted to take my dslr, but I knew how heavy it was going to get so I took my Nikon S1 point & shoot.

I drive by these places all the time, but never actually seen it up close.
It was nice to see it from a new perpective.

I realized people in Southern California don't walk very much.

I love it when I go to other countries and I have to walk or take public transportations.

I know that I could do the same things here, but it's just not the same.
I guess people here look at public transportations in a different point of view.

In other countries, it is the norm, but I feel like it is looked down upon here.

I don't know...

Maybe it's just me~

But for me, that was the reason I didn't want to ride it when I was young....

Because we use to make fun of people who did.

Now my thoughts have changed and would rather do that~ ^^

Especailly with the gas prices going WAY up!!!! :(

That's another story~!

20080603

Saw this movie today at The District.
It was better than I expected~
Overall, I had a great relaxing day!
Today was the first day of my summer school, but it didn't last long...
So me and sweet lil' MnM hung out at The District, watched a flick, ate at El Cholo, and went to el parque...
Good times! Good times! :)

Puhahahahahahahaha

Soooooooooo hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahahahahahahaha
