"Some things just happen, and we don't get to know why." - Dr. April Kepner (Grey's Anatomy 14x17) The month is almost ending. I have not had the time to sit down and actually write out this month's blog. It's been a rough couple of months. And this is an understatement. I think the reason … Continue reading Things just happen…

Motivations and Revelations
I can't believe we've already breezed through one-twelfth of 2017, and are well on our way to crushing through an already short February. This year, I'm trying to be more cognizant that this blog exists for the purposes of what I ultimately wanted it to be - something that I could look back on in … Continue reading Motivations and Revelations
New Year’s Day in Las Vegas, NV
After spending New Year's in Vegas a few years back, I vowed to never do New Year's there again. However, my mom wanted to get away from Los Angeles for the New Year and, of course, Vegas is always her first choice. Las Vegas on New Year's Day is not my scene whatsoever. The big … Continue reading New Year’s Day in Las Vegas, NV
Flashback Friday: Musical Blast From The Past
As I said in a previous post, I've noticed that my iPod has a scary amount of songs. Alongside that, I'm terrified my iPod will die on me as a result. I've had one large capacity iPod years ago which died a year and three months after I bought it - R.I.P. AmiE. This past … Continue reading Flashback Friday: Musical Blast From The Past
Hair Business
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
July Makeup Madness
Thought I'd share a few items I've bought in the last few weeks - some are repurchases and others to try. The repurchases: Physicians Formula Shimmer Strip Eye Liner: This comes in several different shades all with a black liner (with some colored flecks to bring out the color of your eyes). I tend to just … Continue reading July Makeup Madness
Flashback Friday: Meeting Bruno Mars
#FLASHBACKFRIDAY #FBF: It's definitely times like this when I'm so grateful to have the bestest friend ever. I can't believe it's been almost five years. The best friend and I were headed to The Grove of Los Angeles that day to watch "Dancing With The Stars" that evening. Luck had it that Bruno Mars was … Continue reading Flashback Friday: Meeting Bruno Mars
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…
Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden
I've been wanting to visit the Arboretum in Arcadia for months now and recently was able to make the trek there. I started my day fairly early and totally forgot to have breakfast beforehand. I figured I would need food for energy because of all the darn walking. So I order the breakfast sandwich from … Continue reading Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden
Planner and GoPro Hero3
Today, I've on-and-off been brainstorming ideas for what I want to do with this blog. I spent a good chunk of time planning out the next couple of months. One of my summer goals is to hit up a total of 12 Los Angeles County attractions - possibly more. As a result, I've been really … Continue reading Planner and GoPro Hero3
