today for eats i was kinda bad. to start i had a pumpkin cupcake from sprinkles. i then had a small tomato tart from pascals in newport. i then munched on a couple of dark chocolate almonds from see's. i also went to starbizzle in the middle of all the eats and ordered a pumpkin spice latte.

i hope all of you have fun and drink it up like mad tonight.


goodnight and happy halloween!!

newport.

hi everybody!!

so today i had the priviledge to go to newport for lunch and dessert and a little shopping. my mother and i went to tommy bahama island grille for some early dinner. i ordered the tuna poke with guacamole and a steak salad with filet mignon. can you say, yummy? i also ordered a cayman cooler and it was a very tropical fruity drink.

here's the tuna poke with flatbread:


steak salad with taramind dressing:


and..



dessert: which was sprinkles cupcakes based out of newport.




hope everyone has a great friday night. i will be home watching the laker game against dallas and trying to spot my dad on the tv.


goodnight!

in dedication of "THIS IS IT".

m.m.m.monday.

hello readers!!

today has been very relaxing until i went to the nail place. to start off my eats today, i went to popeyes and ordered their crawfish basket. it was delicious. i then went to trader joes and bought more cider, hummus and romaine. i bought the romaine because we have a yummy parmensan dressing.

this afternoon, i went to get a pedicure. the whole thing was a very relaxing and enjoyable exprience. i don't see why i don't get them done more often.



i made dinner around 6 and had salad. the salad contained homemade bleu cheese dressing and half a honeycrisp apple:


dinner last night was a yogurt mess (containing the new pink nano):




hope everyone has had a good monday, i did!!

issues.

hola bellas!!

how is everyone's sunday going? i am clearly dealing with boy issues and i have nobody who wants to listen to them, so i am just going to be rambling with this post. i'm sorry but i think the writing will help?

i met a boy when i was 15 or 16 at a karate dojo teen night. when i walked into the dojo i spotted him immediately. we talked for what seemed hours and hours and when it was time to go around 9:30, i was bummed. i asked my friend if i should ask him for his number and she asked me, what do you have to lose? and i thought to myself, NOTHING!! so i asked him and literally the rest of that summer is history. we had 7 to 8 hour conversations for the whole summer, until our parents said we had to cut back. see, he lived in the inland empire, riverside area and i lived in orange county. we were counties apart and it was so sad. i think everything would of been different if i actually LIVED in the same area code or zip code as him. the summer of 96, he went to atlanta for the olympics because his dad's brother is from there, i think. this was 13 YEARS ago, so i don't really remember the whole details. while he was gone to atlanta, i had a heart felt conversation about him with his dad and basically confessed that i REALLY REALLY liked him. that summer the father told me, one day they stopped by to say hi, AND WE WEREN'T HOME. OH NO!!! when they told this i was heartbroken.

then in 98, i called him one day to check the date for our knotts day and his phone line was disconnected. clearly, his parents wanted nothing to do with me but i didn't know if he felt the same way.

fast forward to 2003, i tracked him down and got in touch with his grandparents. his grandparents were the sweetest people and i thanked them up and down when they gave me his number. i called him about a week later after i received his number and when i first heard his voice again, i melted all over again. so i called him about twice in a year, i think he was in a relationship and plus i was at cal poly slo. nothing was in the cards for us to happen.

then in 2004, i had a personal breakdown and clearly had a night that i will NEVER forget. long story short, i asked him if he would marry me in NYC. when i asked him this i haven't slept in over 24 hours and i had been driving all day and clearly losing my mind. i don't know what happened but i overdosed on trimspa and didn't know that i would never be the same girl. the next day i was at the hospital and the hosptial called his line because they wanted to know the clear story on what had happened to me. he told the nurses he never wanted to talk to me AGAIN. to this day i am totally angry, sad, heartbroken and devastated that this happened to me. HE doesn't know the true and real story and what i just wrote is the whole truth.

now fast forward to 2009, i think he's married and has two kids and through a mutual source i think they are having issues. the only thing i want now, is the friendship we had. i miss how close we were to each other that summer, and how much we had in common. the things we had in common was almost scary.

now the question is, should i never want to talk to him again? should i wait until he contacts me? HELP!@!

saturday football.

hello everyone!!

how is everyone doing this weekend? last night i went to bevmo and got this:


it's so good. today was a somwhat busy day. i started the day at hi-time getting prosecco and chocolate. i bought a orange and bacon chocolate bar. after hi-time we went to a little bakery and bought a couple of cupcakes. don't worry, they are tiny!!
we then went to gelson's, where i bought bars and sabra roasted garlic hummus. we also bought USC chips!! how cool is that?

we then went to the counter, where i ordered a hamburger with cheddar cheese, fried onion strings and BBQ sauce!! yummy!! i also ordered a halloween candy milshake. umm, nom nom nom.

and right now i am watching the USC game and they are winning 16 to 28!!! yay!!

trader joes recap.

hello bellas!!

so..today i went to trader joes to buy almond butter because the last jar had somewhat of an off taste. the whole thing was a weird experience, i think we mixed the jar too much, can that actually happen?

here's the loot:


i also bought cranberry apple butter:


now i really don't know what to do with the cranberry apple butter, no idea. can you give me tips on what to use it on?

also tomorrow i am making a purchase with apple, look at this lovely thing:


tonight i will be watching the angels game and i am doing everything i can, so they win!! if the angels don't win tonight, i will be really really sad that the season is actually finally over. honestly, i really think that yankees have a better shot at beating the phillies than the angels do. the angels are at low and are in the funk and i don't think they can win 2 games in a row.

good luck angels!!

angels postseason. alcs game 4.

i'm sorry i have not posted sooner but i wanted to give you a recap of what i ate and did during the than write spurts.

for breakfast i started with a iced coffee with graffeo coffee, cream and vanilla syrup. for lunch, dad and i went to popeyes to get crawfish. yummy. for a snack around 4, i made myself a yogurt mess. the yogurt mess included plain chobani, almond butter, and trader joes pumpkin spice granola. delicious.

dinner was momumental in my mind and so so good. i made a sandwich with whole wheat break, chavrie goat cheese, fresh sliced mango and fresh avocado. the produce was on point and bombalicious.

here's a pic of the sammie:


and today i was looking for a certain person and realized i am totally missing out on someone i hope to one day meet again. only time will tell.

angels postseason. ALCS game 3.

right now i am watching the angels game and it's 2 to 0 with the yankees winning. i don't think this is much of a series and i think new york is going to dominate this and the next game. i think the yankees want it more than the angels do. that thought just disgusts me.

for eats today i had a half of plain chobani with vanilla sugar, almond butter and pumpkin spice granola. it was pretty good. i also had half a honeycrisp apple, plain. no pumpkin butter. :( it's better for me plain though.

here's yogurt mess:


hope everyone has a great monday!! i will be sulking when the angels lose!!

sunday funday.

so today i spent in the later part of the morning in bed until 11. for breakfast i had half a vanilla chobani along with almond butter mixed in. on the topic of almond butter i think the current jar i have is bad. i need to get another one. for lunch, i made myself a hot house cucumber and cream cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread. i then proceeded to watch the vikings win on the last play of the game, and that was AWESOME. i also watched the jets lose, which sucked to the extreme. i love mark sanchez and he has been losing lately which is not a good thing. i wish the jets were actually as good as sanchez is, then the world would be complete. how about those saints? awesome season so far and i can totally see them in the super bowl!!

lunch: cucumber and cream cheese sammie on whole whear bread


for early dinner around 5, i went to the seafood grill in fullerton and ordered fish tacos on corn tortillas. it also comes with avocado and fresh pico de gallo and 5 chips and it's fabulous. i then went to see's to see if they had pumpkin spice lollipops and THEY HAD THEM! i SCORED!!! i then came home and ate and enjoyed the dodgers get pounced by the phillies. that was the most horrible game ever! i couldn't even watch they were losing to badly and it was for the entire game. misery for every dodger fan tonight. john is probably laughing at how bad the dodgers did tonight but i think the phillies deserve it more. i think they could win the world series again but new york is going to give them a run for thier money. i say new york and i am somewhat of an angels fan but we have been playing TERRIBLE!!!

fish tacos:


pumpkin spice lollipops:


i have been listening to the new moon soundtrack and i am addicted to the following songs: meet me at the equinox, possibility, new moon, satillite heart, and roslyn. i love the soundtrack and i think i like it better than the twilight soundtrack.

hope everyone had a great weekend and ready for the NEW WEEK!

angels postseason. ALCS game 2.

hello bellas and gents!!

today i was lucky enough to go to whole foods. here's the temple:


i bought something like 6 or 7 bars, 4 chobani's, cucumber and avocado roll with brown rice, a grape synergy, strawberries, shampoo, multigrain bread, and some vegetables. we also bought maple smoked cheddar and it's awesome!

here's my meal:


sushi:


right now i am watching the yankees and angels game and angels are losing 2 to 0. what.a.bummer. i don't think this looks good, angels are playing out of it and it makes me so angry because i know in my heart they can play better than this. they are not there, this sucks.

for dinner i had leftover pasta from olive garden and a salad with creamy parmensan dressing from spaghetinni. yummo.


hope everyone is having a great saturday. at least USC WON!

spaghettini

sorry all, i'm going to make this quick and short because i am currently watching a movie and i need to get back to it. also note, the angels lost tonight!! DODGERS WON!!

i had lunch in seal beach at spahetinni and ordered the most delicious meal ever!!

angels postseason. game 3.

hello lovelies. and guys if you are out there.

ok, how awesome was the angels game this morning? i got up at 8 because i was counting the minutes till the game and then i turned on the mlb app to listen to the game. i have to admit once boston was up by 5, i though the game was over. little did i know i was way WRONG! i learned to never never never give up on my angels because they can always turn out a win. even when you don't expect them to win. i listened to the game on the iphone until the 7 inning and then watched the game when they started getting runs again. i just couln't turn it off because angels were always threatning. IT.WAS.AN.AWESOME.GAME. now the angels are going to the ALCS!! i want to go so so bad but tickets prices are outrageous.

how awesome is this?!?!


anyways.

for eats today i had pumpkin oatmeal this morning with almond butter and maple syrup. yummy! then around 1, i had a small tomato tart with pesto and roasted tomatoes. i then did major snackage because i had a pumpkin ale and it totally ruined my whole appetite.

this morning's oats:


so..

now i am waiting for the yankees game and i have a distinct feeling that yankees are also going to sweep.

UPDATE:
YANKEES SWEPT! OMG, now we have new york!!

i also had sweet potato fries for din din:


i also had a half of vanilla chobani with pumpkin spice granola from trader joes. it was pretty a o k.

trader joes time.

hi everyone!!!

i want to start this off to say how proud i am of the angels. the angels are my hometown team and i basically lived there every sunday when i was a little kid. i love anaheim stadium.

anyways..

to start the day off, my dad and i went to whole foods. we went there becaue i wanted more honeycrisp apples and smores z-bars. well, they did'nt have them!!! how i was so disappointed. i want to try them so so bad. so bad. i also bought 4 chobani's. 2 peach and 2 vanilla. also strawberries and more clif mojo peanut butter pretzel bars. OMG, they are so so good. i also bought a cocnut water kefir and when i tasted it, i wanted to literally, throw up in my mouth. so much for heatlh drinks. i think it's for people who can't taste the drink because it's full of probiotics. while i was at whole foods, i went to the sushi bar and bought a cucumber and avocado roll. it was one of the BEST rolls i have ever had there. i also bought dogfish head punkin ale. it's pretty good but the stuff i bought at trader joes is way better!!


so..

this afternoon i went to vons and bought peppercorn ranch sun chips. best flavor there is, period. *hands down* i also bought some celestial peppermint tea, christmas is coming!! woot woot.


so..

then i went to trader joes. you know what? i go there at least two times a week and i always find something i have never seen before in the store. like today for example, i found dried apple rings, peach salsa, and pumpkin spice granola. OMG, i am so lucky to have found all this good stuff!!!

i hope all of you are having as busy as a saturday as i am...


ps- for dinner we are having mussles with a white wine sauce and pasta. YUMMY!!

angels postseason. game 2.

hi bellas!!


i wanted to start this off to say how awesome last night's game was. WAY TO GO ANGELS!! tori, "the man" showed up last night and played awesome! i was so excited when they won last night. wow, what a fabulous game! tonight is game 2 and i think it's going to be a really good game. but that's all i am going to say because i don't want to jinx it. lackey pitched a outrageous game and i can't believe we WON!! now i am waiting for the yankees game and i'm so excited for both games.

anyways..

this morning i woke up with a sratchy throat and i'm scared because i think i am getting sick. the change in diet and me staying up all hours of the night is taking a toll on my body, and not for the good. last night i went to sleep around 10 and this morning i still felt like crap. for breakfast i had an iced coffee and a mojo clif pretzel bar. for lunch, wait for it...WING STOP!! i felt so out of place there because i was the only lady. i guess guys truly do like their meat and poatoes. :/

here's a pic from last night:


GO YANKEES AND GO ANGELS!!


I PROMISE, i will be back later to recap the yankee and angels games!!

pumpkin ice cream from coldstones with graham cracker crust and peanuts:


i am making this short, but the ANGELS AND YANKEES WON!! the angels and yankees are both two up and are playing amazing b-ball. i do not feel any remorse for the red sox, none at all. the bats showed up for the angels tonight and they kicked royal butt. i think that the yankees are going to win in minnesota because they dominate. WAY TO GO ANGELS!!

angels postseason. GAME 1.

hi bellas and [guys]!

i wanted to start this off to tell you that i was very very bad today. i called coldstones on the phone and asked them if they had pumpkin ice cream???!!! and guess what??? the fall is officially here, coldstones has pumpkin ice cream. i ordered a love it with graham cracker crust and peanuts and it was delicious. yum to the o!! so please support your local coldstones and go at least once to order this because you will not be disappointed. it's much creamier than the stuff in the pint from the grocery store.

so today i had the leftover risotto for lunch along with water and for a snack i had a graham cracker clif z-bar. but i have to say the chocolate brownie microwaved for 30 seconds along with almond butter is so so good. i also recommend this whoever wants a somewhat healthy snack. because this is it.

tonight the angels are playing game 1 against the boston red sox. i have to say i am disappointed in mike because he started willits and matthews. matthews and willits have not performed to their potential the last few years and it's really depressing. i really REALLY REALLY hope they show up to play tonight because if they don't, it's not going to be much of a series because boston is going to dominate. and if the angels lose to boston this year, i think it's time for all angels fans to find a new team to support. being outed by boston every year is the worst feeling the world.

anyways..

how about the rockies totally shutted down the phillies. that was pretty cool because the rockies are actually being competitive this year.


more to come and maybe a pic of coldstones from this afternoon, have a great night!

postseason is here.

hi!hi!hi lovelies and [guys]!!

to start this off i have to tell you the pumpkin ale that i bought at trader joes last night is to die for!! it's delish and has like a cinnamon finish to it. i recommend everyone to buy it!! also enjoy it cold because it's just better cold. i can't explain it!!

i started the day kinda late because i was having issues but for breakfast i had a honeycrisp apple with pumpkin butter. another yum!

right now i am watching the phillies beat up colorado and it doesn't look very pretty. phillies just outed the colorado pitcher.

here is my pumpkin risotto dinner from last night compliments of the banana and chocolate blog. it was awesome, especially with the pumpkin ale!!


ok, how awesome is it that phillies won tonight? i want them to make it to the world series so so bad. the game score was 5 to 1 and it really wasn't much of a game to begin with. bell played an absoltuely fabulous game!

i want to share with you two things:

suri cruise and her mother. whenever i see suri on people photos i absolutely freak because he is so cute.



i also found a SKEE-BALL APP on ITUNES!! it's absolutely addicting and well worth the 99 cents. it's cheap people!!

trader joes time.

hello ladies and [guys]!!

so i have something to say about trader joes raw unsalted almond butter. if you are really into bland stuff and an awkward taste. this stuff is for you. it has little pieces of almonds in it and IT.IS.GROSS. DO NOT BUY IT!!

on the other hand, there is trader joes almond butter creamy with sea salt and it's delic. if you don't know which one to buy or you want to buy some to have with fruit and oatmeal. BUY THIS ONE!!

right now i am watching the baseball game between the twins and the tigers and the tigers are winning 3 to 0. i thought minnesota would go up but they are losing. :( earlier i went to trader joes and i bought 3 honeycrisp apples, pumpkin butter, and pumpkin ale. can you say, YUMMY???!!!




pumpkin butter, my new favorite!!


and pumpkin ale i bought at trader joes this afternoon:
