Vaca wrap up

Well...it's been quite some time since I've made an entry. The last few days of summer have meshed together. Blurred nights of partying and food excursions. Nothing spectacular to bring up. I just got back from a vacation in Florida. Not so much a vacation when you come back drained though huh? It was good times and bad times. Disneyworld, Orlando: CHECK! (Next on the list, Disneyland in Paris and then in Hong Kong). My quest to visit all the Disneylands in the world will be complete. No rush for that...I have the rest of my life to do so. For the time being, I've had all the Disney I can take for the next couple of years. Florida...So hot and humid that it made me appreciate our cool summer here in the Bay Area. A tan that I got in Florida made up for the tan I didn't get all summer in SJ. Nevertheless, I used protection...and lots of it. 50-85+ SPF all over my skin to be exact. I was obsessed with the sunscreen. USE SUNSCREEN puhleeeeze. Your body will thank you one day.

Anyway, this trip was exactly what I needed. I got it out of my system!! It was more than just tourism and beach time. As with every trip I take, I learn something new and I'm looking forward to the next challenge. It was a good way to end the summer and to initiate new beginnings. Cheers to that!

The Heat

Came too late and left too fast. What a tease...

Food Excursions

Some ridiculous things I've consumed this past weekend, in LA and OC:

Grasshopper Ice cream sandwich...

Red velvet ice cream bar...

Blue velvet cake, all from Milk, Hollywood.

Mixed fruit shaved ice from Guppy House.

Deep fried oreos...
1.5 foot Cowabunga corn dog, from the OC Fair.

Bacon wrapped hot dog, corner of Highland and Hollywood Blvd.

Vegas withdrawals

How do I put in words...

Basically, we partied when the sunset and stayed out all night until the sunrise. 1st time ever to see a sunrise and sunset in one day. Needless to say...it was beautiful.

6th annual Vegas trip!!

Some epic moments:
- Powered thru 3 clubs the first night.
- Partied @ XS for 5 hours straight & our fearless party of 5 killed 2 bottles of Goose.
- Blackjack tables in the pool @ Caesars
- Crazy bitch fight on stiletto heels involving a bat at 6am in the morning on Las Vegas Blvd.
- Broke my all time record and was still standing after some 7 shots shots shots!
- Stephen Curry on the same plane heading home to SFO.
- Leaving with more $$ than I came with. For once!!

Happy Birthday Bestie!!

She's the bestest friend a girl could ever have and today, she turns 25!! I've waited for this moment since February and now I don't feel too old! Catch us in Vegas tomorrow night...as we keep up our tradition. 6 years and going... I got my sunblock and stilettos packed...I'm good to go ;)

Unthinkable

There's just something about this song...

I can never get tired of it.

Damn the roaring 20s

Change happens quickly and during these years…I’m talking early to late 20s, a whole lot of change occurs! Think about it…it’s the time frame where one is asked to declare a field of study that would be applied to one’s career. What? Like it’s easy to know what you want to do for the rest of your life? The government grants us rights to booze and we take great advantage of that and have the time of our lives! We make bad decisions and discover the truth behind our friends and foes. Graduation from college and the search of a career, only to discover that work life in America is not what it’s hyped up to be. So…back to school it is! In the midst of that, one becomes an adult and moves out of mom’s house, finds a lifelong partner and joins the institution of marriage. You know what they say…first comes love, then comes marriage then comes a baby in a baby carriage. Next thing you know, you’re 30 and you’ve gone through a roller coaster ride of growth, drastic changes, and major decision making within a span of 10 years. That of which has flown by way too fast. Time is slipping through my fingers as we speak…like grains of sand through an hour glass.

Continuum

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how things have turned out and how life has come to be. I think of this moment right now and recall back to last year and think about what I was doing, where I was, and who I was surrounded by… exactly a year ago. And all of a sudden, it feels like a dream. Did that really happen? It’s so different now. It meant everything and now it's nothing. It’s good to reflect and see the changes that have happened. I want to make sure that my life is heading in the direction I want it to. This time last year, I know I was enjoying my summer a lot! I wasn't worried about working...and was looking forward to new adventures. I found myself just thinking about what fun I could get myself into. I did what I wanted to do and not what was expected of me. No regrets. What were you up to around this time last year?

Have a Happy 4th of July weekend kiddos. Don't light your asses on fire.

Viva Vegas

Is it the guide or MTV that is confused? The last two times I selected "The City" on the guide channel, it took me to the classic 1999 movie, "Never Been Kissed". As much as I wanted to see the fearless Kelly Cutrone chew out Roxy or simply see what chaotic business Whitney has gotten herself into, I didn't mind watching "Never Been Kissed". It never gets old. I miss those teen flicks. They just don't make it the same anymore... I guess you can say that Twilight is the teen flick of today's times. Goodness, it's so dramatic. Can't you just have a 1.5 hour movie of teenage fun, heartache, romance, and wrap it up? No need for all the hype and trilogies or saga people!!

So back to my point. As I turned to MTV in hopes of catching The City, it was Never Been Kissed instead, and Drew Barrymore was in the midst of talking her colleagues... What she said made my heart melt!

Josie Geller: That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person that you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that that it will go away all at the same time.
Cynthia: Damn girl... you are a writer.

Happy Monday
