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

2016 New Year’s Resolutions
It's a new year and I'm so ready to take the bull by its horns! I made the decision last year that I'd make resolutions that are more realistic, will help me out in the long run, and are things I won't bargain with to break. Resolutions: Go to Church every Sunday Lose 20 pounds Go … Continue reading 2016 New Year’s Resolutions
Bus Ride to the Bay Area
Last weekend, I accompanied my mom to San Jose for her friend's birthday. Instead of flying out, we got a superb deal for a $20 round-trip via bus. I'm not the most pleasant passenger because I get car sick like no other - I'd much rather be the driver. It was a nice experience though, … Continue reading Bus Ride to the Bay Area
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
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

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…
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
Blog Goals
I've got to admit that putting this site together has given me some sort of a thrill. Trying to figure out how to navigate through the admin panel and choosing how I'd like to host and post my pics have kept me up way past a reasonable bedtime. Currently I've been trying to sort through … Continue reading Blog Goals
