WELCOME TO HOT HOT HOT CITY!

hello everyone!!

here i am in fullerton and it's 105 DEGREES!! i went to the gym today and did 2.5 miles. yes, it's little but i am slowly getting back into the groove of things. after the gym, i came home and relaxed a bit and then got dressed to do errands. i went to trader joes and here are some of the purchases:

dark chocolate pretzel slims:


and

freeze dried pineapple rings:


i also bought some sweet tea and it's so so so so good. l love it with all of my heart. YUM TO THE O!! well that's it for now, tonight will be monday night football and gossip girl and angels baseball.

word only.

hello everyone!!

i just wanted to give you an update in how i am doing. i caught a cold on monday and i have been stuffed up, had a sore throat, and a lingering dry cough. the thing that is most annoying about this certain type of cold is that it's dry and i can't get rid of it. it's frequent coughing and very painful. i don't know what's causing me to cough every 15 seconds but something is. wednesday night my mother went and got ramen for me and it made me feel much much better. if you are ever in anaheim, there is a place called osaka and it's delicious food. i recommend everyone go there. they have good sushi and excellent yaki soba.

well i am going back to bed now, goodnight.

dinner.

hello everyone!!

i just wanted to post because i have some pictures to show you. i am really excited for tomorrow because i get KOGI!! it's korean bbq for all of you who haven't heard of it. the KOGI truck is making rounds in orange county now, and like i said, so excited.

here is an arugula salad with homemade balsimic vinegar:


and the next picture is dry-aged kobe steak and potatoes. they have light brown skin and i am having a brain fart. here's a pic:


please forgive me, i don't have many pictures because i am not really eating picture worthy eats. i have been working out a lot and listening to my new red nano. i am obsessed. also, i am going shopping soon for some new workout clothes and i am so so excited. i need some new pants and some new shorts. i think i am thinking NIKE??

dinner last night.

hello everyone!!

last night my father made penne alla vodka from scratch. we used fresh roma tomatoes for the tomato sauce and they simmered along with the pancetta and garlic and it smelled so so so good. the night before we had dry aged ribeye's from a meat store in newport beach. i recommend the store to everyone because they have awesome steaks and are so so so good.

here is a picture from last night's dinner:


tonight we are having a kobe ribeye and the steak is huge, it's like 2 inches thick. other than food, yesterday afternoon i went to the brea mall and i was shocked when i got there. when i drove into the parking structure i was amazed at how busy they were. i guess everyone is shopping for fall and getting new clothes??? it was only about 75 here yesterday, so trying to escape the heat is out. anyways, i was amazed. i then walked into the apple store and it was packed with at least 200 people. i then walked to an apple store worker and asked for my 16gb red nano. i actually donated money for aids because it's a (red) product.

here it is:


well tonight i will make sure i take a picture of the steak because it's a beauty.

happy labor day weekend.

hello everyone!!

i just wanted to make a quick post about some of the eats i have had lately. for a while i wasn't using my camera but i took some photos and here they are.

thursday night i had the KOGI TRUCK!! OMG, it's so delish!! here they are:


and then last night my dad made caprese salad with berrata cheese. we also used high quality olive oil and 12 year aged balsimic vinegar. yum!!


while i was eating dinner last night i requested that my dad make french toast for breakfast. we he did it and here was the end product:


after the picture was taken i added peanut butter and a had a piece of bacon. another YUM!!

ALSO, have you all seen the new nano?? the new itunes?? they are both amazing!!

a week in review.

hello everyone!!

sorry for the absence on the blog for the past week but a lot has happened. last thursday, my mother's cat was put to sleep. yes, it was a very sad day in the house because she was the sweetest cat ever. she never hurt my mom once, the 16 years she was with the family. honestly, i know i should have been more remorseful but she was mean to me. she only really liked my mom. she spent most of her time on my mother's bed and slept in our greenhouse.

wednesday night, my mother made a pasadilllarie. it contained sausage, carmalized onions, herbed goat cheese and potatoes. it was the best tart i have ever had in a long time. OH, my mouth waters just thinking about it. here it is:


we also had an arugula salad with the tart and it was an awesome meal. two days ago i bought black skinny jeans and i can't wait for them to get here. i am so so so excited.

i would talk about the angels, but their season is totally over.

daily life of an unemployed person.

hello bay bays!!

so..i graduated in august of 09, i haven't found a job yet. i have been looking a little but i am content on the money i receive monthly from an anonymous source. lately though i have been thinking, i really want a job and i really want to move to a popular city. cities in the running are, san francisco, new york city, newport beach, and irvine. i really don't want to move to the other side of the country because i am really close to my parents. i think an ideal place would be newport or corona del mar. seriously.

also lately i have been taking trips to peets, starbucks, and coffee bean and tea leaf. i go to peets and get a medium iced vanilla latte. at starbucks i get everything. iced green tea lemonade, carmel macchiato, iced latte and passion tea lemonade. at coffee bean and tea leaf, i order iced tea, and a mocha blended with hazelnut syrup. also keeping me busy is shopping. i go to tilly's occassionally and target. i love target for pants and shorts. love love love. also i have been buying lots of victoria's secret gear lately. on thursday i bought the new york jets green v-neck and the bling sweatshirt. OMG, i want the GEAR NOW!! the victoria secret PINK NFL line was just released on tuesday and everything is awesome. i am all for NEW YORK JETS!! mark sanchez all the way!! i also bought the angels bling sweatshirt, and the angels maroon v-neck. both have rhinestones. everything with some type of rhinestone, i LOVE!

on the weight loss front, i am maintaining. i am gaining and then losing. right now i am stuck at a certain weight but i seriously need to lose about 50 more pounds. i need to start going to the gym again and get in the daily routine. every two or three days i workout but it needs to be like every day.
