Mother’s Day

Because of church we always celebrate Mother’s Day on a Saturday.

Granted my mom’s accident, we decided to keep our Mother’s Day plans with the family.

Everyone assumed my mother would stay home but she’s such a strong person, I knew she wouldn’t let a twisted ankle keep her from canceling any prior plans.

She’s like that, doesn’t want to burden or inconvenience anyone because of a handicap. I think that’s where I get it from.

I called to see if they had wheelchairs to use and they did. So it worked out perfectly!

I picked up Tyler early am and took my mom, aunt and hubby’s mom and Tyler in my car to the Getty.

I also stopped by the florist to get all the moms a boutonniere. Which they loved! :)

Bear, hubby, Lee family and Chong family met us at the museum.

My cousin helped me roll my mom around all day.

The funny thing I noticed is that people stare and look at you differently when you have a handicap person with you.

We were in an elevator and there was plenty of room, but when the door opened for people to get in, they just stood there staring at my mom. Like as if they were scared or her handicap was contagious.

I felt bad for them because of the judgement they burdened themselves with.

Overall it was a beautiful day and an amazing time with my loved ones.

We all went to Chynna after to eat.

Bear contributed to the Mother’s Day gift by getting a gift card from J. Crew, and I will be getting her a spa gift card to Wi spa for her to use when her ankle gets better.

My mother is the biggest reason for my drive and ambition. I hope to turn out as strong and business savvy like her when I grow up. :P

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommies out there. You are a rock and your child/children are all lucky to have you in their lives!

I love you all!

Triple Date

The Great Gatsby, opening night, reserved seating at Century City.

Three couples. Outside snacks. A good time.

I didn’t remember the story at all from when I had to read it in high school.

I was mesmerized by the costumes and the extravagant lifestyles. I wish I lived in the 1920′s.

My favorite period by far, maybe. :)

Taco Tuesday

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.

Gaysians

A reunion with my hubby and wifey!

Although her back was in pain, it was a night off for all of us so we headed to our playground in weho.

I arrived late because I got out of work at 11pm but there was plenty of time for fun still. I parked my car at bear’s and took Uber out to the Abbey.

We went to truck stop at Here and then fantasy Fridays at the Robertson.

Drank, danced and met Bear in KTOWN after to eat.

It was a very very good night.

Easter Sunday

Brunch was planned not assuming we’d be hungover so 10:30am was doable until I woke up feeling like shit.

We crawled outta bed and made it to brunch. But only I was able to eat since Bear got food poisoning from Ma’Kai last night. That place is horrible.

Food at Tortilla Republic was awesome, too bad I was so hungover.

Easter Saturday

Saturday was spent in Santa Monica with JOh, YC and Bear.

We met at Sonoma Wine Garden (my new favorite place) and had bottles of wine with some food.

We then moved over to Ma’Kai and had two bottles of sake. I was gone by the time we were going home.

I met Jo for drinks and dancing immediately after.

Took Uber to Beer Belly, met Jo, took Uber again to Vanguard.

In celebration of Q’s retirement!

20130331-191353.jpg

And I met a fan.

Thanks for the photo!

20130331-191458.jpg

I stopped drinking earlier in the night. I couldn’t hang so I had Bear pick me up when I was ready.

Mommies Night Out

I found tickets to the pirate dinner show and thought it would be a great outing for the mommies and son.

It was a great Sunday afternoon, definitely worth buying the tickets through LivingSocial. I wouldn’t have paid full price. ;)

Amazing time with an amazing friend.

This is what life is about. Quality time.

Thirty

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.

Night at the Improv with @JoeyGuilaLive


My buddy Rocky invited me to his friend’s comedy show. I knew of Joey so I thought it would be a good chance to meet face to face. And of course hang out with my East middle school friends.

Bear couldn’t make it so I went solo. Going place alone helps me build my confidence. :)

I didn’t know it would be table seating, I assumed theater seating.

Some group Interlude performed and everyone seemed to know who they were but me.

I actually enjoyed the comedy club and Joey’s comedy.

Thank you Rocky for inviting me!
