Me and my sisters in San Diego. I'm wearing the Angry Birds shirt that my sister (white shirt) made for me!

I had a fantastic time with my family last weekend. They made a pit stop over in LA before they headed off to Hawaii to visit me. We headed to San Diego to enjoy the scenery and of course, the food. Before I rave about my favorite seafood place in San Diego, I have to give props to this awesome Italian restaurant. We stopped by Filippi's Pizza Grotto for lunch. When you first step into the place, you won't have a clue that there's a restaurant in there. There's a grocery store in the front of the store, perfect place to buy Italian-made produce. This place is usually packed and has a … [Read more...]

Stargazer: Red Velvet Cake Pops

My family came to visit me from New York this past weekend. My mom and sisters are major sweet tooths. My mom especially. I always enjoy cooking and baking for them and this time around, my mom refused to let me cook because she did not want me"to be wasting time cooking". So instead of cooking, I decided to bake red velvet cupcakes and prepare them beforehand. But then I browsed around on the internet and so happened to come across one of the cutest baking blogs, Bakerella. I encourage you to check out her adorable site. The Bakerella blogger has several cake pop posts that are so … [Read more...]

My family is visiting me this weekend from New York! I stopped by a Chinese grocery store with my boyfriend in an excited frenzy to buy lots of groceries. I was so focused on the specific ingredients I needed to make my family a nice, homemade meal, I didn't realize how thirsty I was till it hit me out of nowhere. Luckily my boyfriend was craving a specific drink at the same time. "Do you know that Asian drink with the ball in it?" he asked. "Oh yeah, bubble tea. The pearl looking things that are clumped together at the bottom of a drink?" I answered. "No, no, it's just one ball … [Read more...]

Angry Birds T-Shirt Handmade by My Sister Melora

Before I begin my birthday re-cap, I'd like to state that I'm currently addicted to Colbie Caillat's new song, "Brighter than the sun". I'm jamming to it as I write this post and proudly bopping my head side to side. Just checked out her music video for it as well and it is beautiful. I love, love, love the lighting and cinematography. I'm a sucker for simple, clean shots with loads of natural sunlight. It captures life's simple pleasures, beautifully. Absolutely refreshing; the video, beats, lyrics, everything! 'Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky. Shining how we want, brighter … [Read more...]
