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.

losing and gaining ground.

hello everyone!!

so..last week i really had a bad couple of days eating wise. one day i went to in-n-out and the next day, i went to the habit. both are delish but the habit has a very special place in my heart. OMG, the thought of it just makes my mouth water. saturday, i went to a party for my brother's friend 40th birthday. while i was at the party, i had mexican and it was also delish. i gained something like 6 pounds, in a matter of like 4 days. monday, i said to myself i am going to lose all the weight i just gained. you know what??? i lost all of the 6 pounds by today. i think i did well and i accomplished my short term goal. now my goal is to lose more!! i have a party to go to next weekend and i rreally need to look my best. i may not make it to the party, but that's a whole other story that's not blog material. it's personal.

well next week this time, i will be in san luis obispo for a day. please be excited because beautiful pictures of food and scenery are going to be posted.

fireworks.

hello everyone!!

good afternoon!!

soo..my fourth of july was okay, unfortunately my mother wasn't celebrating the holiday with us and i missed her the entire night. the menu for the dinner was homemade baby back ribs, coconut marinated chicken, country cooks potato salad, asian salad, and veggie skewers. for dessert we had homemade coconut cake and pineapple upside down cake. the only thing i had for dessert was a piece of the coconut cake. OMG, it was to die for.

here is the firework finale from fullerton high school:


here is a pic of the coconut cake:


well the fireworks and the company was amazing for the 4th of july. yesterday i was a little hungover but the party was okay and sort of fun. next year i need to consider making new plans.

happy 4th!!

tomorrow i will be sleeping in, going to starbizzle, and then off to fullerton. the people whose house i am visiting are having an island theme with decorations and food. we will be watching fireworks courtesy of the fullerton high school firework show and enjoying music by glen. i can't wait!! happy 4th of july!!

pictures from vacation.

hello everyone!!

as i type to you on my new macbook, i am full of different emotions regarding life and the man that is now out of life. for what was an okay vacation up north, i have more pictures.

to start it off, we will start with my silly weird looking brother:


a couple of days after the game, we went to willow glen ice cream and ordered a small frozen vanilla custard with cookie cough. yumm to the o!


and now for my growing niece:


a little story on my niece, well she had to have tubes placed in her ears. she is 11 months, isn't that sad??? i mean she had the surgery on monday and she is doing a lot better since she had them placed in her ears. she is already in a better mood. i love medicine. on the topic of tubes. well i had them placed in my ears 5 times. i know all too well, what my niece is going through.

well this is a quick post. goodnight.

wine tasting and sadness.

hello everyone!!

good evening!!

while i was in san jose 2 weeks ago, matt, nic, and i all went to los gatos for some wine tasting. the first winery we went to was testarossa and it was amazing. testarossa's red wines are to die for. also at the winery because it was los gatos wine festival, they had a whole block of mt. tam. damn, IT WAS AMAZING. after testarossa, we went to black ridge winery and i have a couple of photos:





yes, the views at black were to die for and that's about it. BR's wine isn't that good at all, the only thing they have going for them is their view. that's it.


well in talking about the man, well today he checked on my profile. that is such BS. i really want to get rid of it because i don't want him looking at my picture for personal reasons. this is the worst thing that could of happened and i never want to talk to him again. right now, i want nothing to do with him. he didn't break my heart, he is making me really pissed off.
