Bum Day Sunday

The weather has been so nice for the past week beautiful sunny light cool breeze! It’s one of those perfect days.  It’s a nice change from freezing weather wonder how long it will last. Yes I know I don’t have much to complain about since other states right now are like 12 degrees and below 0 plus snow but hey it doesn’t drop down that low where I live in California so when it gets to a certain temperature it’s freezing for us!

Finally got to see Pitch Perfect! Rented it from redbox it was pretty funny.  After that my boyfriend and our brothers went out front to skate on the ripstik and the wave board street surfer. I didn’t try because I'm scared to fall. -_-  BUT! One day I will make myself get over it and learn.

Anyways I’m supposed to go see the movie “A Haunted House” sometime this week hopefully!  It looks super funny! I love Shawn and Marlon Wayans! I've watched them growing up and they are still awesome! Although I don't think Shawn is in this movie but! I still can’t wait to see it!

Christmas to New Years.

So it’s almost 2 weeks since I wrote on here ops.  Totally forgot about it with all the holiday celebrating and getting sick. So time to reminisce the last 2 weeks what has been going on.

Starting with Christmas, I wasn’t feeling too good I was starting to get sick caught it from my boyfriend who was sick couple days before. Anyways I was hosting a small dinner get together just my boyfriend, my brother, my cousins, and their boyfriends. What was on the menu was super simple the main dish was Lok Lak which is stir fried beef over lettuce tomato and cucumber and a side dressing of lemon juice, mix with pepper and salt serve with rice.  I also made mabo tofu which is just tofu stir fry with ground beef and mabo sauce.  My little cousin was craving sushi so I made California rolls and since I had left over crab meat I made crab cream cheese wonton.  For dessert I made my awesome chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting and the night before I was super bored and had half a bag of chocolate chunks lying around so I decided to melt it and make designs out of it to decorate the cupcakes!

After dinner we played games on the ps3 after everyone left my boyfriend and I fell asleep and woke up around 5am and decided to head to his place and just spend the day there. Taking 2 different cars so I can just drive home myself later probably wasn’t such a smart idea. It was raining so hard and driving on the freeway was horrible couldn’t see anything with all the big truck kicking up the water.  We finally made it to his place we both took Nyquil and it knocked us out for most of the day!  I was feeling horrible got worse and he was still sick.  He was being such a sweetheart I’ve never had a boyfriend take care of me when I was sick before so it was really different.  He went out and bought Vicks rub and eucalyptus oil so I can breathe and made sure I had everything I needed to feel a little better.  When we finally got out of bed and some food in us we watched a movie and played a board game with his family. By the end of the night I was so exhausted couldn’t stay awake so I took a little nap before heading home.  My boyfriend decided he would drive behind me to make sure I got home safely since all day I was having a hard time staying awake.  That is so sweet and thoughtful!

The next couple of days were a blur.  All I did was take Nyquil and slept a lot to try and beat this cold.  By the weekend I was still feeling a little sick but way better! We were planning on going to Knott’s since I had free tickets but it was raining sucks. We needed to kill time until my little cousin bday dinner so we went to see Les Miserables.  For new years we didn’t do anything stayed home and relax.  We want to plan a trip to maybe Big Bear or San Francisco.  But I don’t know I need to find a good snow boot if we are planning on going to big bear.  Anyways that was my holiday oh my boyfriend got me this awesome portable laptop rolling table cart thing.  It’s pretty awesome since my room is small I don’t have space for a table but now I don’t need one!  The wheels just rolls right under my bed and the table can be adjust to angle down so it’s comfortable. I love it!

For the New Year I’ve decided to do this thing I saw on tumblr.  It says “Start 2013 off with an empty jar and fill it with notes about good things that happen.  On new year’s eve, empty it and see what awesome stuff happened that year.” But I’m doing it a little different instead of just writing randomly I’m going to write one for everyday of the year! Okie this rambling is long enough. Happy New Year! I will stop now.

Ready for Christmas?

On the way home from dinner with my boyfriend we decided to take the streets to see all the Christmas light decorations.  Didn’t see anything interesting until I see something extremely bright coming from a neighborhood and asked my boyfriend to make a turn into it and like wow just wow! I’ve never seen a house so decorated out like this before! I have no idea how long they've been doing this but this is the first time I’ve seen this house and it is just amazing! Everything is in detail the picture doesn’t show much because I wanted to get the whole house in frame but he really went all out. There is also Christmas music in the background.  We got there just in time they turned everything off 10 minutes after we got there since it was already super late.

R.I.P

Yesterday was like any other day waking up wasn’t feeling too bad got ready to go to the dentist with my brother. After I finish I was waiting in the lobby for my brother checking up on the news and this was the first thing I saw my jaw dropped I couldn’t believe it how could something like this happen!  My heart goes out to those family and friends affected by what has happen in Newtown, Connecticut at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Those precious babies with their lives ahead of them cut short by a man having problems with his own life even going as far as taking the life of his own mother. To those amazing teachers and staff trying to make a difference in these young children lives also cut short.  I don’t know what it is like to lose a child but it breaks my heart to here this story.  Every time I watch the news or read something about it makes my heart heavy. I also would like to thank those who were quick thinking during such a scary moment saving lives and protecting anyone they could.  You are truly amazing.

Just a couple of days ago there was a shooting at an Oregon mall and now on the same day as this horrible event another shooting in Las Vegas at Excalibur.  My heart and condolence goes out to everyone affected by everything that has happen here in the United States and around the world where it‘s not reported on the media.  Losing someone is hard I’ve lost a best friend that was like a sister in a freak nature accident that was unpreventable because it was nature.  But things like this didn’t have to happen if only things could have been different but it isn’t. May the beautiful children’s, teachers, staff members,  the people in the mall, the people in Las Vegas, and all around the world who lost their lives to something so horrible Rest In Peace.

Ending up in Los Angeles

Last week my boyfriend and I went on a date.  We went to the OC Fair grounds to check out the famers market since I have never been to one.  After walking around the little area I saw an Italian ice stand! I’ve always wanted to try it!  It’s like a sorbet meets ice cream meets shaved ice? There is no dairy and the woman that helped us was very nice!  She said she’s there every Thursday at the farmers market. After our dessert we waited for the food trucks that also come every Thursday during lunch time.  I tried Dogzilla for the first time and fresh fries, it was interesting.

After that we were heading home because I had things I wanted to do in the area before we went to the movies but my boyfriend got on the wrong freeway.  Long story short we ended up going to Los Angeles and decided to go to the LA zoo because it was the cheapest thing we could think of plus I really wanted to go to the LA zoo anyways since I’ve never been there. hehe

Anyways there was a lot of construction going on so we didn’t get to see much but there was quite a bit of animals out.  Although most of the animals I wanted to see weren’t out. :( So while we were walking around we were dying of thirst totally forgot to bring our water bottle didn’t want to pay $3.50-5 for a regular water bottle.  Ticket price are $17 per person and free parking so yeah cheaper then San Diego Zoo and less tiring you’re not hiking up and down giant hills just remember to bring something to drink!

After the zoo we went to Griffith observatory again our first time.  We got there after the sun went down because traffic was so bad even on the streets it was horrible. When we got to the street heading up to the observatory it wasn’t that bad driving up there like I thought it would be.  The view was nice even though it was a little foggy.  Everything is free unless you want to watch the show in the Planetarium.  So on our way home we had to deal with traffic it took 2 hours to get home when it only took half an hour to get there. But it was ok we usually try to entertain each other when we’re stuck in heavy traffic to pass the time.  No point in getting mad or irritated just need to make the best of it!

Happy Birthday Grandma!!

Yesterday was my grandma's birthday! I love her so much she is such an inspiration and a very strong woman! I can’t believe another year has gone by! Every time I look at her I think she’s still in her 60-70’s not anywhere close to her actual age. She’s gone through so much in her life and is still always positive about everything.  I want to write about her life and share her stories on here so that in the future I can look back at the post and remember every detail of what makes her the woman that she is today. That post will come soon.  But now I want to wish my lovely grandma a happy wonderful birthday again and for many more birthdays and years of healthy happy life to come! Love you grandma! (^_^) <3

Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips; End result

It has been a while since I have posted anything.  Been busy with Thanksgiving and then that weekend I happen to catch the stomach flu. (-_-) I was in so much pain! Has anyone else caught it? I've seen some post on Facebook that they've caught it as well. If you did catch it hope you get better soon! I’m all better now though yay! (^_^)

Anyways this is a post for the end results of Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips. I’m keeping it short and simple! Lets get started!


So truth be told I've been using the strips on and off.  I didn't finish the whole set because it gets too sensitive and I only use it once a day. I will most likely only use the strips a couple days before a big event since you get quick results. But honestly this product isn't for me although I would recommend it to others but if your teeth are easily sensitive then no. Try it out for yourself and see how it goes but if it gets sensitive please stop.  I don't think it's worth the pain to get a whiter smile there is always another solution!

I was looking through the Crest website and found some other products I would like to try which are the white strips for sensitive teeth or the 2 hour strips. I do like Crest whiting strips since I did see results within 3 - 4 days but making my teeth sensitive? No thanks! Maybe in the future I’ll give the other products I mention earlier a try but for now I’ll stick with brushing my teeth.


Like the crest slogan goes! If You’re Not Whitening, You’re Yellowing!
