Mini-Vacation in Seattle

Another short but awesome vacation with my BFF Kat! Seattle was SO beautiful and the weather was just perfect! This is us on top of The Space Needle Friday afternoon, where we got a great view of the entire city. After that, we had a HUGE dinner at Bahama Breeze and got to hang out with Kat's dad, who I haven't seen for over 5 years!

We got to explore the entire city in less than 48 hours! Saturday was a busy day that started at the first ever Starbucks in Pike Place and a yummy seafood lunch on the Waterfront. After that, we checked out the Seattle Art Museum and then headed to this awesome Chinese restaurant that had Happy Hour even on the weekends! Who can say no to $5 appetizers and $3 drinks?

The night ended with some chill time in the pool at our Ramada and the trip ended with a VERY early morning flight home! Now I'm back at work wishing I was still on vacation!

Happy Birthday Sydney!

July 24 is little Sydney's 10th birthday and we had a big celebration on Saturday. Big Sis Dani made us yummy potato salad with shrimp and ham. She also bought a big Honey Baked Ham and birthday cake. Then we all went to Stoneridge mall and had an awesome dinner at Todai. There were so many different kinds of sushi and seafood, and the desserts were great too! They even made us crepes with all sorts of fruits and chocolate mousse! We all had a wonderful day and I'm so glad we got to spend time as a family!

Happy Birtday Sydney!

New Song Dedicated to My Honey...

Verse 1:
Fendi this
and Juicy that
look at me
and my Louis bag

Prada shades
and Gucci hats
did you think
I need all that

I just wanted to let you know
in my heart I took an oath
I would trade in all my clothes
all the platinum all the gold

Chorus:

when you need me I'll be there
with you I'll always share
cuz nothing in this world compares
to you to you

Verse 2:

they may drive
them fancy cars
buy me drinks
up in the bars

trust me they
won't get to far
cuz you'll always
be my star

I just needed to make sure
that you know my heart is pure
and no matter rich or poor
I just wanted to be yours

Chorus:

when you need me I'll be there
with you I'll always share
cuz nothing in this world compares
to you to you

Verse 3:

the Tiffany around my neck
can't represent my heart
and trinkets made of faberge
can break apart
you can feed me with a silver spoon
but nothing taste as sweet
than the loving between you and me

Chorus:
when you need me I'll be there

with you I'll always share

cuz nothing in this world compares

to you to you

Go Shorty It's My Birthday!

Happy Birthday to me! I'm officially a quarter of a century old...too bad I still feel like a kid! hehe I had the most perfect time thanks to my best friends, family and of course, Greg. We had an all-girls dinner at Citizen Thai and The Monkey.

The food was great and I got a birthday ice cream!

Then we all went to Dragon Bar and danced the night away!

Saturday was my official birthday and Greg drove us down to San Jose where we went shopping at the Great Mall and played video games at Dave and Busters. Oh how I miss my old suburban town!

My mom's birthday was on Sunday and we had a big table at Red Lobster's. Greg and I surprised her with Happy 60th Birthday balloons! She was so happy and said that she didn't even mind turning 60! hehe

Back from Cabo!

Ok back to reality...

Cabo was SO perfect! Free drinks on the beach...What more could a girl ask for? We stayed at Dreams Resort and below was the view from our balcony. Can you say "paradise?"

This is me and Greg at the Swing Bar on our first day.

And here's us on the beach...

On Saturday, we took a boat out to the tip of Baja California and laid on the beach drinking Modelo.

Me and Greg's mom, Priscilla on the beach.
More pictures to come...

New Song - Perfection

Verse 1:

does your world
force you to be beautiful
force you to feel ashamed
if you weren't so beautiful
would you feel the same

look inside
do you believe
beauty lies beneath
so if you think you're beautiful
then you will really be

Chorus:

we are trapped in a world of visions
so hard to make our own decisions
and we're all just so dependent
on what others see

was a time I stared at my reflection
wondered why it's not perfection
finally I found self-affection
I could be
nobody but me

Verse 2:

does your heart
force you to be someone else
force you to act this way
if you acted like yourself
would it be ok

look around
what do you see
put your trust in me
I know if you think you're beautiful
then you will really be

Bay 2 Breakers!

So last Sunday was my very first Bay 2 Breakers! It was SO much fun! I managed to stay sober for the ENTIRE race (and then got drunk off of 2 glasses of wine since I hadn't eaten all day!) There were so many creative and awesome costumes. (And so many people not wearing much of anything!) Next year, we're going ALL OUT with costumes and LOTS of alcohol! We had a great time though and very proud of ourselves for finishing the race before noon!
