Thanks to the beautiful Aviant, we get to enjoy each other’s company on a weekend!
Thank you for setting it up!
Brunch at Perch in DTLA with the girls.
I’ve been for dinner and the food was horrible but their brunch was amazing.
One of the best Bloody Mary’s I’ve ever had. I asked for it extra spicy and it WAS spicy! One of the best fancy Huevos Rancheros I’ve ever had as well. I cleaned my plate.
In celebration of Taco Tuesday & Jo’s anniversary, we feasted on some Mexican eats and a bottle of white.
The place isn’t BYOB, but they’re not strict on allowing patrons to enjoy some alcohol as long as we’re discreet. And just for that, I love this place more!
Plastic cups and bottle opener was prepared.
Our eyes were definitely bigger than our tummies. Two for one taco Tuesday deal… we couldn’t pass up so we got one of each. Plus nachos and a shrimp taco. We had one and a half taco each. That’s all.

Brunch at Chynna then off to see my tutor for a study sesh.
I love the mug.
So says the stair master. I’ll believe it!
I didn’t arrive as early as I wanted so I couldn’t do my full set of weights, abs and cardio.
I only ended up doing two sets of weight for each area and half of my abs. Gave myself enough time to do at least 30 minutes of cardio but only did 20. 
I won’t be able to work out til Monday so I needed this crunch time.
Can’t believe I woke up earlier than I do on a workday.
I forgot my gloves because I put them in the laundry. Now my hands hurt. 
Perfect day… Thanks to my hubby!
A reunion dinner turned engagement party turned piglet fest within hours.
Congratulations to Terry on her engagement and wishing her a beautiful future of love!
We then went to Fickle and had a feast.

I met a fan! Chloe!
So happy about DTLA opening Equinox!
Yesterday was the first day and I went today to check out the facility.
Best in the area and if you do Jim anywhere else, you’re missing out.
Love the purple color scheme 
Got the night off to celebrate a dear friend’s hubby’s bday!
Bear joined as well and for the first time, I was less drunk than him!
I love spending time with this group of friends.
Dinner at Mochica, then bar hopping to Mas Malo, Library bar and last stop at Le Ka.
Daytime drinking before class
My lunch. An empty plate while everyone feasts.
Like a boss.
Strippers. Dollars. Towncar home.
I decided to take my future into my own hands.
It was a few weeks ago when I started thinking about where my life was going and what I could jump start it.
I’m so used to things just happening for me and I think in the back of my mind, that’s what was expecting to happen. I know with my career, I couldn’t wait anymore.
I needed to do something so I came up with the idea of using my resources and interviewing prominent people in the industry to help with honing my skills and promote them, Chynna and myself. It would be a win win situation.
I reached out and several people agreed to participate.
My first interviewee was Tuesday and my second was last night.
On Tuesday, I was so nervous I forgot to take photos and enjoy the moment. I don’t know why I was so nervous, I kept telling myself that it was MY project and I had nothing to be nervous about. I only here to impress myself! No one will judge my work because I am the creator.
By the 2nd interview, I was not nervous. It was fun and it made me realize that this was something I could do forever.
Because I don’t have a photo of my first guest, I’ll keep her a secret until the video is released.
My second guest was my favorite Chef in the world, Chef Wes, a magician in the kitchen. He will make children eat their veggies and adults eat things they’ve never imagined enjoying.
Thank you so much for being a part of this segment, Wes!
I had so much fun with you and the camera!

Date night with Bear at Little Bear!
Had to take a photo by the sign.

Last night was the closest I’ve been to being a part of a speed dating event. Although I was working behind the bar, I was excited to watch the people interact awkwardly.
It was an Asian mixer, by Click2Asia. I’ve known about this even taking place for over a month and I had been looking forward to it.
The only idea I had about speed dating were the scenes I’d see in movies.
I got into work at 6:30pm and the event was suppose to start at 9pm but the attendees started to roll in around 8pm.
I’m assuming they wanted to loosen up with a drink. I talked to some guys that had gotten there earlier and asked them about the experience. Some were being dragged by friends, so they say; some were first timers and the others were avid participants.
They all seemed conservative, shy and not douchey. Exactly what I expected. Nerdy, introverts who probably can get dates but too socially awkward to approach a girl. The ones that I had conversations with actually didn’t see too bad. They had good personalities and looked like your average Asian male.
As the girls started to roll in, I realized that they were way below par. One lady who ordered a long island iced tea reminded me of a nail salon lady. Heavy Vietnamese accent, horrible makeup and over the age of 40 but dressed like she was 21. The other girls looked like the Asian female students you saw in your high school hallway carrying a stack of books walking with their head down with glasses; but now that they’ve somewhat grown into their boyish figures and have a career, they’ve built a confidence that is too good for what they can offer.
It was an organized event, everyone got their seats, with their sheet of paper to write notes and only the boys got up and moved while the girls kept seated.
For most part, they all seemed to be enjoying it, some seemed more nervous than others by the looks on their faces.
I thought it was instantly determined at the end of the event, but apparently, the coordinators email the ones that choose each other.
As soon as the speed dating part was over, most of the guys stayed at the bar to hang out while the girls left.
I tried to get more details out of the guys but they weren’t sharing the information. One guy I asked said, “it was interesting.” That was it. Not bad, not good, just interesting.
I won’t ever have a chance to try speed dating in my life, but if I were single I’d try it at least once. Just to see, it looks entertaining. ONLY for entertainment purposes, not because I would take it seriously. Ha!
I’m glad they had the event at Chynna and I’m glad to have met new faces, hopefully they come back to the bar and hopefully they do more speed dating events too. I love people watching.
And if you’re single, I suggest you try it out!
