Getting what you want or waiting for what you want?

The other day I went for a long run and my mind started to wonder on a few things. One thing that stayed with me -and during the rest of the run- was how we, at some point in our lives, been told "if you want something you should go after it" not to mention "if you are patient things will come". I tried to apply it to real life scenarios so I could grasp each of its meanings. The result -other than a great long workout- was a head full of question and not too many answers.


Sure, one means you should wait and see what happens -waited out.  The truth is, if one just waits to "see what happens" nothing is really going to happen. Things, opportunities and people will just pass you by. Am I correct on this? While the other would be to work toward a goal or whatever one desires. This would be an effective method to getting whatever one wants or at least figure out if that is truly what one wants.

Regret seems to come in hand with patients, so does satisfaction. It seems -at least to me- easier to work for something. The satisfaction would be greater wouldn't it? To be able to say how much work one puts into something to later enjoy it and truly appreciated, it speaks volumes. Or is it the other way around? Would one appreciate something more if one was patient?

I suppose it all comes down to a matter of circumstance. What do you think?

Oh man, I think I need some aspirin now.

Glee

Here is a sneak peek at Glee's Ep.6 and will be airing this Tuesday night. This is one of my all time favorite shows and if you haven't see it, I recommend you watch it. 

Mind you, I'm not fake.

Halloween 2010

This year for some odd reason I decided to stay in for Halloween... what made me change my mind? I can't say exactly. But that doesn't mean I completely went M.I.A for the night. I actually went to see my grandparents and brought them bags of candy so they could hand them out to kids, but Grandma didn't want to because she was "scared of the monsters..." Oh she is so cute, bless her heart!

After that, I went over to my friend Franky's house to watch some baseball and hang out with a few more friends. We all open a bottle of champagne and ate some chocolate cake (you can't say no to chocolate cake... at least I can't). Once the game was over we played Just Dance 2, sitting there watching Jeanette and Franky mimic the dance moves brought all to hysteric laughter. It was priceless :) Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures or videos but you can trust me when I say it was funny. And that was all I did for Halloween... overall it was a pretty entertaining night.

I did take some pictures of my dog in his Halloween costume... yes, I dressed my dog.... and I paraded him around for a bit :p He is such a trooper.

I couldn't help it... Hahaha

Hair.

Yes, this is picture of my hair... and my current annoyance, well sort of. My hair is currently 3 inches on the top and about an inch on the sides. This is the longest my hair has been in AGES and I'm not really used to having it this long. The reason why I'm kinda annoyed by it it's me not knowing what to do with it (my hair is hard to manage and sort of thick) On the other hand, I like my hair like this...I find myself  running my fingers through it all the time :D Uhmmm.... decisions, decisions.

Obsessing.

This is becoming one of my favorite post.
Here are a few things that I'm obsessing over this month.

1. Alternative music... No, this doesn't mean I'm cheating on the other genres I like
2. Hot Pockets... Those things are addicting!
3. The rainy weather... Gotta love it!
4. Rihanna-  Only Girl (in the world).... A little secret, I like to change the "only girl" part to "only man" Hahaha DORKTASTIC!

23 so far.

    At the beginning of this month I had my 23rd birthday.... yes, I am 23 years old. I went down to Berkeley to celebrate it with close friends and I had a pretty good time, it was fun.

 What can I say now that I'm a year older.... for starters, nothing has change. Everything is pretty much the same except for the fact that I, myself, feel different. I don't know how to put it into words exactly, but I feel more aware of my surrounding and aware of myself as an individual. Yeah, you guys are probably trying to understand what I'm saying and I'm sorry if I don't make much sense, but I honestly don't know how to express this feeling. Don't worry, it is nothing bad. On the contrary, I believe this is a good thing.

Fall

Wow! Its been a while since I posted something on here. I just have too many things that I want to share and say but it seems like I can't find "the right words" so I've been sort of ignoring it.

So, summer is over (or it has been over) and I'm excited for Fall. As you may know, fall is my all time favorite season, why? Well, I find it to be the most comforting of them all. I like the smells, the colors, the lighting, the mystery... I can go on and on but what I like about Fall is the warmth. Yes, there is warmth to be found in Fall. The warmth of a home, a soft sweater, a cup of coffee or tea in the morning, a hand shake, a hug, the warmth of a stranger's smile or someone you know. Of course, there is also the warmth of a lover, a companion to those cold nights and lazy days. It's also the season of "self-reinvention" (if you must) just like a tree that sheds its leaves to later reveal a brighter and healthier foliage.  

I'm sure I've bragged about Fall before... I always do. I can't help it if I find it inspiring.

Just like a pastry chef

This summer, Mia and I decided to bake and cook. First, we made sugar cookies with the help of J and they came out amazing. J and I got creative and made a cookie in the shape of an egg sunny side up and a bruised heart with a band aid. Also, we cooked pasta with corn and carrots... the final product was dissent if I do say so myself. But I must admit, I do need help in the cooking department.

This passed Saturday, we made two and a half batches of double chocolate chip cookies with Ghirardelli chocolate chips. Maybe its just me because I love chocolate, but the cookies came out incredibly delicious. Each bite was a chocolate explosion of yummy goodness in our mouths (I might be exaggerating a bit but they were seriously that good) Mia and I had so much freshly baked cookies that both of us ended up in a double chocolate chip cookie comma. Here are some pictures, sorry about the quality of the photos... my cellphone camera sucks.

The batter... 

All lined up, ready to go in the oven.

Final product... delicious.

JT to hit the Target

Fashionistas rejoice!

Justin Timberlake has a deal with Target stores to bring his clothing label, William Rast, to the masses. The collection will be available from December 19th to January 22th and will include denim, outerwear, and sportswear for both men and woman. The collection is inspired by “the iconography of biker culture and American denim heritage” according to Colin Dyne, chief executive officer for William Rast.

I don't know about you but I'm sorta excited to see what he comes up with. I'm mostly looking forward to the outerwear and sportswear... Oh who am I kidding, bring on the denim! :)

Random Trip to San francisco.

The weekend of the 23rd of July, Miguel and I went for a spontaneous trip to SF. We didn't have a  plan but we just wanted to visit the city for a while so we ventured into the unknown... sort of. We took Bart from Berkeley to SF and got off on Powell and Market. If you know the city, you know thats where the shopping center is located... so that's what we ended up doing first. Shopping took most of our time but we where happy with our purchases. Since Miguel had never "been" to Castro and had a cookie from Hot Cookie I decided to take him there. The walk from Powell and Market to Castro is pretty long but we were making conversation a joking around the whole time so it went by fast. the first thing we did in Castro was check out underwear at a small shop ( I love underwear lol) then we had some Mexican food from a place down the street. The food was good (we were starving) and of course our feet took a break from all the walking. After we were done eating it was time for dessert, we walked into Hot Cookie and the options were endless. I gravitated towards the Butch Bar witch is peanut butter sandwiched between two pieces of chocolate and Miguel opted for something simpler, a chewy oatmeal cookie.

After that we went to visit our friends in Berkeley (J and Evlyn) we hung out in J's apartment, we smoked hookah to unwind and played Just Dance for the Nintendo Wii. The game got so competitive to the point where we were all shoving and pushing each other in order to win. A couple of hours later we were all sweating and tired from all that dancing and moving, it was such a workout. Miguel and I said our goodbyes  to J and Evlyn and finally headed home. It was a fun filled day for sure.

A delicious Butch Bar!

A Run and A Frog.

 On Thursday (two weeks ago) my friend J (Jesus) and I went for a run to one of our favorite parks in Napa, Alston Park. We ran from his house all the way to the park and we noticed our time had improved from previous times. On our way to Alston, I almost ran into a car, incoming traffic and a light pole... if it wasn't for J, I would probably be wearing a neck brace or crutches right now. Never run while distracted, its dangerous and humiliating hahaha. Once at the park we went to a creek they have nearby and we noticed tons of small frogs jumping around everywhere... J was delighted, me, not so much. I picked blackberries from a near by bush while J chased and poked frogs with a stick. I really don't like snakes, lizards, spiders or frogs for that matter, but I decided I would attempt to touch a frog (this is huge, because I usually freak out...) So J and I ventured to find a decent, not-so-gross-looking frog for me to touch. Finally I spotted a "clean" looking frog and I leaned in to touch it with my index finger, the frog jumped and I freaked. With J's help I tried a second time and I finally got the chance to touch it... The frog was dry (thank bob!) and it's skin was bumpy and somewhat rough (I'm getting chills just thinking about it haha).

Blackberries... YUM.

J trying to catch a frog.

The frog I touched... I'm so brave! :) can you see it?

Obsessing.

Currently, I'm obsessing over the following:

2. Mashed potatoes (made by moi)
3. Avocados (I want a bigger butt lol.. jk)
4. Running EVERY DAY.

Heartbreaker

Uhmm... sounds familiar hahaha love this song.

MSTRKRFT- Heartbreaker

Remember when I caught your eye

you gave me rainbows and butterflies

we did enjoy our happiness?

when our love was over

I was such a mess

I smiled at you

and you smiled back

that's when I knew

there's no turning back

you said you loved me

and I did too

now though it's over

I still love you

you're in my mind

you're in my heart

I wish I knew right from the start

all my friends said you break my heart

A heartbreaker right from the start

I tried to fight it

I tried so hard

and every day

I pray to god

that you and me were meant to be

but you had another

you had a lover

And now is gone

I don't know why

I feel like crying

just want to die

I can't look at you

and you know why

no, I tried so hard

to catch your eye

you're in my mind

you're in my heart

I wish I knew right from the start

all my friends said you break my heart

A heartbreaker right from the start

you're in my mind

you're in my heart

I wish I knew right from the start

all my friends said you break my heart

A heartbreaker right from the start.

An epiphany on dating.

The other day I read a blog and had a little chat that got me thinking, I really don't know how to casual date or dated at all.

I haven't really thought of this until now. I mean, I've been in relationships with the people that I've liked and showed interest in, but is that consider actual dating? Sure there is courtship but is not casual dating, is it? Or at least not when you know you'll end up in a relationship (which would be my case)

By definition casual dating is an interaction between two people who are looking to get to know one another better, without commitments or promises. Just by this alone, I know I haven't done anything like that. I know I rather be in a relationship but  it might be a nice change to get out there and just meet people, rather than put all my eggs in one basket. This could be a challenge but I have nothing to lose I suppose. Besides, I don't think I'm emotionally available for another relationship at the moment... then again lo que sera, sera.

"You wear them around like you're cooler than me.."

If you know me you probably noticed I wear sunglasses all the time. Well this month I've made it a mission to stop (or at least try) wearing them...

I love sunglasses too much lol and I guess one can say they are my "security blanket". Whenever I'm having a bad day, feel shy or just go outside for a walk, I put on a pair of shades. I like the instant privacy they provide and did I mention they are my favorite accessory? Hahaha.

Another thing is, I like to look at people in the eyes when they are talking to me and I sometimes forget to take them off (I'm used to them, I feel sort of naked without them) not only it's disrespectful but I also think it's unfair on my part.

So far I've relapsed twice lol but I think I can make it... It might be a superficial thing for you, but a kind of important thing for me :)

Childhood is Calling.

On Saturday my sister and I were craving some Rice Krispie Treats and so, we decided to make some :) We went to our local grocery store and bought everything that was needed according to the recipe. I made an executive decision and replaced the regular marshmallows for marshmallow creme (which is basically the same thing and I just liked eating it with my finger lol)

The whole thing was a fun mess, the cereal was everywhere and the marshmallow creme got all over our hands. What can I say, the whole time we felt like we were on the Rice Krispies commercial hahahaha. Our treats came out pretty good if I do say so myself... then again we only used two ingredients. :)

I told you it was a mess :)

My hand ran into her face... ha!

Yummy!

Titanic will sail in theaters again.

James Cameron (yes, the creator of Avatar) will be re-realeasing his 1997 hit Titanic on April 2012, on the 100th year anniversary of the ship's sinking (he directed that too children). But don't think it will be the same old Titanic... the classic  flick will be getting the 3D makeover. That's right, the Heart of the Ocean might hit you in the face this time around lol

I'm excited to watch this, oh I can't wait! :)

Only I...

I've been using a temporary ATM card since Friday (I lost/left mine at a restaurant) and today I peeled off the sticker that was on top of the card and guess what was under it. The freaking words "Instant ATM Card"... Urg!!. If only I had thought of peeling the darn sticker from the beginning, it would have saved myself a lot of trouble and embarrassment.

I guess that's what I get for being clueless hahaha.

Thanks a lot Starbucks!

Last night I went to Starbucks and I was super excited to order my usual (which is the White Berry Blossom Tea) only to find out the coffee giant has discontinued it and won't be carring it any longer. In fact, they have change most of their teas... How can Starbucks do this to me!? I've been drinking the White Berry Blossom Tea for years now. So I ordered the Vanilla Rooibos Tea instead... and I think I've found a new favorite! Hahaha but I'm still sad about my WBB :(

On a different note, when I was ready to pay I found out my ATM card was missing from my wallet and I didn't have cash on me (so I panicked). My friend Michele offered to pay for my stuff but the barista told me it was on the house :) (thank you thank you thank you!!!)  Proof that there're still nice people out there!

I did learn a few things... always carry cash (plastic might fail you sometimes) and ALWAYS check to see if I have everything I need in my wallet. I woud hate myself if this happened to me again... fingers cross it doesn't!

Know + Tell...

The June/July issue of Details magazine arrived yesterday and one of my favorite sections is called "Know + Tell: Numbers, nomenclature, and news for the conspicuously clued-in." Here are a few things from this section.

• 4 cents:  Amount owed to the government by a Sacramento car wash because of a tax-return error.

       2: Number of IRS agents who hand-delivered the letter informing the owner of the debt.

• 11: Number of years an Egyptian family communicated by pencil and paper after finding a listening device in their aparment. After finally getting specialist to investigate, they discovered that the bug had never worked.

• 5: Number of years a Michigan man suffering from sinus cancer and an inoperable brain tumor worked at Waltmart before being fired for testing positive for marijuana prescribed to him by his doctor.

• NotARealThing.com: A website that catalogs the fictional places, products, and organizations created for movies, TV shoes, and other visual works- think Schrute Farms from The Office or Red Apple cigarettes from Pulp Fiction.

Lo que sera sera.

Over the weekend I mentioned something to someone that I had only thought about once... Well it has been four days and I've had several dreams about such topic. Could this be a mare coincidence or "a sign"? Uhmm... :)

Pride '10

As some of you might have heard, San Francisco's 40th Pride Celebration was last weekend (June 26/27) and of course I wanted to be part of the original (and world famous) event :) This year I attended with a great new friend (and by the looks of it, the girl version of me). Evlyn and I just had such an amazing time running around the streets of San Francisco. Here are some highlights of our weekend.

Our celebration started on the 26th having a couple of drink in Berkeley. We made vanilla-lime vodkaritas first (I know, it sounds so weird but they were delicious!) after words we had some chocolate cake shots and finally a bit of wine. We got ready and took Bart to SF. We got to Castro and the Pink Party was in full effect. We walked around for a while pretending to be Italian (I guess saying "scusi" made it easier to walk through the crowd) and after a while we found where the Dj's were playing... like expected, we danced and danced and danced till we got tired. Evlyn and I bumped into some friends and we talked to them for a while... Finally it was time to go back to Berkeley and so we walked to the nearest Bart station. Halfway there we sat in front of a store and wished pedestrians a "happy pride", then out of the blue we started telling them we were from  Minnesota and needed Bart money... we got $5.  The whole night was frantic but full of fun.

The following day we got up at 8am and started getting ready for the parade. Once again, we took Bart which was packed... we had to stand the whole time rubbing elbows with REALLY unpleasant people... one person in particular. We arrived in San Francisco and walked down Market St trying to find a good spot, after a couple of minutes we found a place with a really great view. We watched the parade and cheered EVERY float that we saw, we good a lot of goodies for being so loud and cheerful. Once the parade was over, we headed to the Civic Center where the celebration was taking place. Our first stop was the main stage where we got to see The Back Street Boys perform (I was more of a Nsync fan but was excited to see the BSB too) As soon as their performance ended we walked around trying to find the "techno/ dance" stage, after a while we found it (by accident) and once again as expected we danced and sang our little hearts out. Finally after what seemed like hours on the dance floor we headed back to a Bart station to catch the train to Berkeley.

Since our friends Jesus and Edgar couldn't make the festivities (due to a fraternity event) we decorated their appartment with everything we were given at the parade, including our beads and Pride bracelets :) We also made the boys some vanilla-lime vodkaritas and hung out till we fell asleep.

It was definetely a fun filled weekend. I lost my voice for a couple of days, my feet still kinda hurt and I'm burnt from the sun, but there were no regrets :) Here are some pictures, enjoy!

I want cake!

The Thundercats are baaaack!

One of my favorite 80's cartoon show Thundercats is getting a makeover and will be airing on Cartoon Network in 2011.

Warner Bros. Animation's Sam Register realesed a statement saying:

"In addition to being Warner Bros. Animation’s first anime series, ThunderCats marks our most ambitious foray yet into fantasy. The realism and dynamic visual style we’ve achieved are sure to thrill viewers, and the cool weapons, vehicles and technology should help the show appeal to a diverse audience. As the forces of good and evil battle each other in the quest for the fabled Stones of Power, Lion-O and his champions learn valuable lessons of loyalty, honor and mortality in every episode."

Sounds good! I think I'll have check it out once it airs lol

 

They say change is good...

This whole week I've been pretty busy moving from Napa to somewhere between American Canyon and Vallejo. Finally I'm all settled in and I'm oh so tired. Eventhough Napa is 15 minutes away, I already miss it. I spent my teens and a few years of my early twenties there. I made a lot of  friends and memories... had a couple of special places where I liked to run to and just sit there and ponder. I'm still going to visit but it won't be the same. Everyone says change is good and I'm open to it, I guess I'll just need some time to get used to the new place. Change brings new opportunities, so we'll see how that goes. :)

Better than ice-cream and vodka.

Last weekend, I finally went to visit my friend AnaKaren in SF after months of me telling her that I would go. Of course, I did I a little shopping there :) who wouldn't? I bought two cool t-shirts and a patterned purple short sleeve shirt (if you know me you might know that I don't really do short sleeve shirts... but I just had to have this one)

Afterwords, I meet up with my friend and went to her house to unwind for a minute before getting ready to hit the bars.  We had a good time hanging out and we danced like there was no tomorrow.
Me being the competitive person that I am, I outdanced averyone that dared shared my spot light and I guess if you dance well enough on top of a "stage" people will give you free drinks ;)

 I was so glad I got to see my friend since it had been a while since we last saw each other and frankly, I needed a small break from the everyday routine. The company and the fun made for a great weekend :) can't wait to do it again.

November will be mine.

November will me my month, I don't care what happens then but November will be the month I'm back.

I had my ortho appointment today and its been confirmed, my braces will be gone this November! :) That's right! No more braces for me.  I'm extremely ecstatic to know I'll be free from those wire pain-causing THINGS.

The reason why I say I'll be "back" is due to the lack of confidence my braces have cause me... Don't get me wrong, I have good confidence now, but I just haven't been myself entirely ever since I got them on almost two years ago.  One can ask any of my close friends and they'll tell you how my personality has change.  At times I feel self-conscious and uncomfortable in social gatherings, but then I remember how it's just temporary AND how lucky I am to be able to improve my smile then I feel much better.

Yes, I was hoping my braces would be off by my birthday(in October) but November is fine by me :D One extra month never hurt anyone, right!? Plus I will be able to eat ANYTHING I want.... like corn on the cob, hard candy, apples... oh man! the list goes on and on hahaha.

All in all,I'm so excited to complete this process.  So everyone better watch out, I'll be back with a bang and you will feel my presence.  I guarantee it :)

A little something that caught my eye...

Just because I can doesn't mean I should, but just because I shouldn't doesn't mean I won't...

What you missed

Ok, so I know I haven't posted anything lately but I have an excuse... Let me tell you guys about my last couple of weeks.

Things ended with who I though was a keeper... I would tell you every single JUICY detail but I'm a gentlemen and it's just not worth it Lol I did a lot of self searching and I'm more than content with what I found about myself.

I've also been on a couple of mandates with a friend that I hadn't seen in a while. We watched "Death at a Funeral" and let me tell you, we were laughing so hard it hurt our stomachs (if you haven't seen this movie I say you go watch it) We also watched "Avatar" and it was amazing... I'm sad I didn't go watch it in 3D but oh well! It felt great to reconect with good old friend and just hang out.

This past weekend Mia and I spent it in Berkeley with our fellow plastic friend Jesus and our new friends Evlyn, Lupe and Edgar who invited us to one of their fraternity and sorority events. We arrived in Berkeley on Saturday afternoon and went to Tako Sushi to grab something to eat before the show. Aftershock 2 was the name of the show and consisted of different sororities and fraternities performing their saluts. It was so much fun watching them stroll and salut and just be "owt". Afterwords we partied at their place and had a blast. I hadn't laught so hard in my life, I almost died. Our night concluded by laying on the carpet and watching "Alice in Wondeland". The next morning we woke up and talked about highlights from the previous night, we got ready and went walking around Telegraph. We returned to Jesus' apartment and hung out for a while and listened to music and just danced around. Once again ,we got ready to go to another event and just goofed around. Mia and I had a wonderful time and didn't want to go home. I just want to thank everyone for an amazing weekend and specially thank them for their much needed support... so thank you guys! :)

So thats about it, now I'm off for a much needed run.
Here are some pictures to illustrate my weekend. Enjoy!

One of my favorite artist Kaskade is coming out with his new album and I'm excited to say the least.  The name of the album is Dynasty and comes out on iTunes on April 27th and everywhere else on May 11th.  Two of his songs are already out "Dynasty" and "Fire in Your New Shoes", and I just love the tracks. Enjoy!

Restlessness

The song I'm currently obsessing over, check it out :)

Allergies are here

Spring is here which means allergy season is also here, and I'm really feeling it this time. The itchy/ runny nose, irritated eyes and nonstop sneezing, the whole works! In the other hand, spring also means sunshine and color and warmth all around. Uhmm I should try and focus on the sunshine instead of my horrible allergies... this is going to be tough, good thing this week the allergy forcast is not brutal :)

Proof unicorns are real...

HYSTERICAL! I can't stop laughing, can't wait to get my wisdom teeth removed :D

A haunting in my sleep... well kind of :)

Lately I've been way beyond tired (urg!) that I haven't posted anything. So here is my attempt on writting something that I did the other day...

On easter night a few friends and I decided to watch a movie... a scary movie... so we went to the nearest Redbox to look at our options. Once there, I saw that they had A Haunting in Connecticut (I saw this movie in theaters and I loved it) so I thought it would be a great pick for that night. We also picked up a bottle of Mondavi's Moscato D'oro and Mumm's Brut Prestige to drink while watching the movie. The movie started playing and we all sat around the tv with our drinks.

We were so into the movie that when my friend Liz (by accident) pressed a botton in the tv remote and white noise came on, we all started screaming and panicking lol. It must have been the champagne or Liz's constant screaming that put us all on edge for the rest of the movie. After it was over we were all completely spooked, we played Mario Kart on Wii to ease our nerves and forget about the movie.

I got home after playing several rounds races and went straight to bed (this was around 12am), I woke up at around 3 am and started recaping everything that happened in the movie. I was so freaked out that I couldn't go back to sleep. I tried to think about other things like music videos I liked. I started with Adele's "Chasing Pavements" (uhmm car accident, death people dancing... not good) then I moved to Micheal Jackson's "Thriller" (hello, dancing zombies!) and then I moved to "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode and I rememberd Marilyn Manson's video for that song (I know, no help) At this point I was extreamly freaked out that I spent like an hour trying not to have a heart attack hahaha

My wish finally came true, I found a movie that gave me nightmares and totally freaked the sleep out of me :) Next time, I better be careful what I wish for... hahaha I'm so sad :p

Obviously not so

I've been wanting to watch The Forth Kind and Paranormal Activity  for a while now, so today after work I didn't feel like doing anything but watch movies (the weather kind of had something to do with it) and so I did :) I was told by friends of mine that both movies were completely terrifying and a scream fest, and that just made me want to watch them even more... OMG let me tell you, they weren't! Well, kind of.

The Forth Kind was good, I did't think it was scary but rather creepy, but I liked. The best part was the "actual" footage from the research Dr. Abigail Tyler conducted. I'm not going to lie, but the screaming actually took me by surprise and it made me jump. Other then that it was nothing too scary where I had to look away or hide my face behind a pillow (in case you were wondering, yes, I did watch both films alone). http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/11/06/fourth.kind.real/index.html

Now Paranormal Activity was a whole different story! I didn't think the movie was scary at all. In fact, it just reminded me of The Blair Witch Project which used similar filming technics. This movie kind of bored me to be honest... at times I found myself playing with my phone or just looking at the clock. It was definitely entretaining (if you are looking to waste some time).

I guess I shouldn't believed what others tell me, we all have different taste and obviously different opinions on what we think its scary. Oh well, maybe some other movie will give me nightmares :)

What a week

Its Sunday evening and I'm compleatly exhausted from this week. I couldn't think of a better way to unwind then to light a couple of vanilla sented candles, sit and listen to music while soaking my feet on a vibrating foot massager thing (total bliss) all I need is a glass of wine and my better half by my side :) I got to hang out with some of my amazing friends and just had much needed random fun. Here are some pictures to sum up a great week:

Wine tasting

Having a couple of drinks at the bar

Trip to San Francisco (Union Square)

and a couple more drinks in Berkeley :)

But don't worry, not everything this week revolved around alcohol. I also did a lot of walking with friends and window shopping, plus my everyday responsabilities of course.
