You tube

Omg, I have been obssesing on you tube lately from getting tips on scrappin, celebrity gossip, happy slip, music vids, and now how to cook Pinoy food. You gotta watch Foodtrip28. He is awesome! He shows you step by step on how to cook so many Pinoy dishes. Watching his videos is making me hungry right now especially that nelson and I ate around 4 pm today. I know that's so early. We usually eat @5pm which is still early. I will post the link to his videos tomorrow this is also for my lil' sis ann who likes to cook

Japantown

I had 2 appt. Today so in between them I had 2 hours to kill and what better place than to do it japantown. I love love the Japanese culture and especially their food. For lunch I went to the sushi boat place called Isobune. I also went to the kinokuniya bookstore where I bought 3 Japanese mags' so I can use for my scrapbooking. I also found out that they sell copic markers they are like $4.95 each! I also bought some mochi across the mall. I also went to the library near kaiser to kill time. I read a book about in making different kinds of journal, it was cool and even had great sketchings. It was kinda muggy today. Nelson picked me up after my appt. Coz' I took Bart and the bus this morning. We went to KL for dinner. He really likes the deep fried chicken and I love the corn soup.

Sleepy Sunday

Today all we did was eat breakfast @Denny's, went to church @Epiphany foe the 10 am mass, shopped @Pacific super so hubby can make monggo later for dinner then went home. We also took a nap coz' it was too HOT 2 go out! Even DH was just 2 lazy go out. I am excited coz' Tuesday until Monday I am off! No where really 2 go except for road trip later on Thursday. We will see. Just also wanted 2 wish a very happy birthday to ms. Sonja!!!! Hope u r having a great time!

Goodwill books!

I got these great books for altering!! In Goodwill in SSF for 5 books it only costs me $7 and they are all hardcover! I love the one with Henry Reed's journey book coz' it's a diary of his trip all over the US. The book was from 1963 owned by a Katie Wilson. Cool huh? Thanks to michelle g I love going to goodwill and looking out for stuff like these. The books are only $1.39 each. I am going to alter some of them and will show you the results. Goodnight!

My future bedroom...!

OMG, when I saw this I said WOW oh WOW!!! A girl can dream can't she?

Land's End

This picture was taken after 4:30pm after my work. This is called The Land's end and where the famous Sutro Baths are. This is a 3 minute drive from my work. Isn't it beautiful. The one's I have taken are blurry and this is the only good picture.

Still at Land's End love these trees especially when it's foggy. It's scarily beautiful with the fog surrounding it making it like a ghost.

Loved the beautiful colors of the flowers with one lovely white flower peeking out.

Thursday faves

My sweet sis, Raquel thought of me and bought me a pandan shake, peach mango pie for me. She is thoughtful naman. She always does this whenever she goes out. Near those snacks are my fave cheese curls that Cynthia had introduced me to.

Fave a bag at the moment for work bought @Nordstrom Rack for $16

These brother and sister, duo Gel and Anjo is going home to the philippines today and won't be back for at least 2 years to finish their nursing course there. I am going to miss them so much. I have gotten really close to them (they are Mae's niece/nephew) This was their christmas gift to us.
