  • Boston weekend recap continued...!

    eating ice cream!

     

    "action" talk =)



    more playing with the dog!




    delicious lobster at the Union Oyster House!


    more eating...!



    Back in NYC...! We came back at 1am in the morning and then I have my early AM shift at Crumbs.  Right after work, we headed off to Central Park for a mini-picnic/laying out session.







    we are actually melting in this picture... Look at how pale we are! The sun felt so amazing!


    Then we met up with Paul & Lily for church, then ate at this Indian crepe place. So good!





    We spontaneously decided to watch Transformers... I can't believe how long that movie is... unbelievable!  But it was entertaining.  Megan Fox's voice gets weirder and weirder =/

  • amazing grace

    I took a stroll through the park today, it was so gorgeous outside! i took my jump rope and listened to worship music while doing lunges and stretches by the river. It was very nice and i was able to really just listen to myself and think about things.

    Random: i realized that life is so frail and scary as you get older! what happened to those warm, wonderful summer breaks when you didn't have anything to study for... no obligations but to take a BREAK? with friends? with a car. freedom to buy that ice cream cone. call up a boy to come over and kill a spider without it looking like it was romantic.  even getting mad at roommates for stupid roommate stuff.... it wasn't even half as complicated as it is now!

    Random: and as much as one would like to leave things in the past, it's still there---deeply rooted and permanent.  Who the heck thought of that phrase "what happened in the past, stays in the past"??? the same person who said "what happens in vegas, stays in vegas" I suppose... haha.  Turns out that it can come back to haunt you over & over again, maybe for the rest of your life.

    Random: I keep getting these notices in the mail about animal cruelty. they're REALLY random and specific, like "Save the donkeys" and "Did you know that dogs and cats continue breathing and blinking for 5 minutes after they are skinned alive?"  I donated to ASPCA and now I'm on some list!!  But I will probably donate anyway =P

    Random: I'm slightly considering working up the Crumbs Cupcake corporate ladder.  I really like the company and what it stands for.  Apparently, all the corporate people started out as regular associates like me! Something to think about...

  • weekend in Boston

    Here's some pictures of our trip to Boston.  We mainly stayed in Worcester, to visit Liz & Adam.



    I love cloud pictures!



    Our furry friends for the weekend:




    Starting out with a big hearty breakfast!




    After brunch we headed to this little park.  We actually saw sun! We tried taking advantage of it =)





    the dog got sun too!



    our hosts with their smiling puppy, Stanley:

  • man it's been awhile...

    ... since I blogged about my normal life! What have I been doing... just random things.  Lots of hair/makeup related things plus checking my email about 99 times per day.  I guess it helps that I got the new Palm Pre.  I'm still getting used to smart phones--- it can get crazy confusing. I didn't really understand how to pick up calls or make my alarm go off correctly.

    So far, my the camera on my phone rocks.  The internet speed is great and I love the touch screen.  The downfalls are the slide-phone-ness of it. (I dislike slide or flip) And the itty bitty keyboard.  Even for my long nails, the keys are so hard to press!

    As far as the makeup/hair biz, I think little by little I've been getting progressively faster and better---especially because I only concentrate on hair now.  It's just hard to be creative when every single bride wants the exact same "do."  I swear, they all save their pictures from the same places online.  Almost all of them bring me pictures of Carrie Underwood, Megan Fox and Jessica Alba pictures.  Those are horrible examples because those women are just incredibly gorgeous, so of course they'd look great with a mop on their head!  The clash of "clean & perfect face with messy hairdo" only works when you look like that. 


    Some pictures of the work I've been doing.

  • crazy weekend

    On Friday I celebrated my old elementary schoolmate's 26th birthday.  I was able to get a Reese's cake from Crumbs, so I decorated it myself just to practice. =) I love decorating cakes!



    This weekend there was a huge Puerto Rican parade.  Luckily rather than scaring Aletheia & Josiah, they didn't seem to mind the extra-busyness of NYC!



    a bit dirtier than usual!


    On Sunday after church, Daniel and I enjoyed the beautiful weather by sitting outside at a random restaurant on the upper east side.  Yes, I still take pictures. =)





    actual eating shot -- not posed. haha


    Then when our AZ friends came to visit us, we ate at Pommes Frittes, Ippudo, chicken & rice, and Serendipity.  It was a lot of eating!



    Now I'm at a cafe and I'll be meeting them shortly for Joe's Shanghai dumplings! MORE EATING!!!

    :)
