Happy first day of October! Recently, I got myself a trim and had gotten side swept bangs again. For whatever reason, hair always looks better when you're fresh out of the salon. So for reasons beyond my comprehension, it's not quite the same when you're left to your own devices. I bought a couple of … Continue reading Hair Business

The High Roller at The LINQ
My friend and I took a ride at the High Roller at The LINQ. It's been a couple of years since I has last visited Las Vegas, so this was completely new to me.

Flashback Friday: JC Chasez of *N SYNC
I can honestly say I'm pretty lucky to be a 90's baby. Being in born in the mid-80's my adolescence occupied all of the 90's. My obsessions consisted of Hanson, Backstreet Boys, and *N SYNC. Oh yeah. Learning all the words to their songs, replaying music videos and TV guestings to learn their choreography, buying … Continue reading Flashback Friday: JC Chasez of *N SYNC
A Morning at LACMA
I've lived in Los Angeles all my life and as a child frequented the La Brea Tar Pits. Who knew that right next door was all of these hidden treasures.

Remembering Grandma…
Others could call themselves lucky to have any of their grandparents around. I was fortunate enough to have three sets of grandparents. My grandparents were around for my parents when they first migrated to the United States from the Philippines. When my mom asked if she could call my grandma "Mom" it became official. My grandparents were around … Continue reading Remembering Grandma…
