Nursing a broken heart

Or rather I can say I'm becoming stronger with each experience.

I've surprised myself with the entire trip—as in how this relationship begun and came to an end, how I dived it, how I let it run freely and how I am now, 2 weeks later. And when I say I'm fine, I can say it's 90% true.

I attribute this strength to the overwhelming love I've received from my lovely supportive family and generous friends. You are the ones I can count on no matter what happens, and you are the ones I can truly believe who will love me till the end of time.

I want to keep moving forward. I want to let go. I want to be in love again.

It can only get better right?

p.s. dunch worry, Sparky is mine to keep!

Sparky is a Star!!!

My photographer friend came by today to take some awesome Sparky shots for her portfolio.
DANG!

She made Sparky look even much better (which I thought was not possible).

Go to my FB! She tagged me in most of the pictures.

Just some vanity shots

Dropped by the Target Corporation sponsored free day at the local Springs Preserve.

Bleh. Wasn't very interesting at all, especially compared to the Lied Children Science Museum we visited last weekend. Glad we didn't have to pay the $10.95/person entrance fee.

To make matters worse, I wanted to try out the Wolfgang Puck Cafe at the location and the service was really slooooooow. I know, it's a busy day, they should put more staff on duty then. I blame the management, not the mistreated and I-don't-wanna-be-here-look-on-my-face kitchen to floor staff who had to deal with the overwhelming number of customers. Time we spent waiting in line to order plus waiting for the food to be served: 1 hr 45 mins. Time we spent actually eating: 20 mins.

They actually have a good view of the Strip on one of the trails, but that's not hard due to the low level architecture throughout the city.

No disrespect to the Native Americans but doesn't Little A look like her? Blame it on the haircut.

That's all folks. Yes, that place is kinda boring. I didn't bother to take any shots of the exhibit.

My Heath Ceramics

Thanks to Clara, Janice & Karen!!!

I got these from my recent SF trip with the yummy gift card that they sent me for X'mas. This makes shopping so much more satisfying!

The 2010 Fall/Winter seasonal limited edition tall vase—factory price was about 30% less then retail and it was the only one. I zoomed right in and grabbed it before anyone else could. The baby breath was from the bf's gift of a rose bouquet from Valentine's day and the single dried up pink carnation was from Ashley during Mother's day :D

The yellow glazed bud vase is the new one (the brown and white were from a previous LA trip). From the current 2011 Spring/Summer seasonal limited edition.

Looks like I have a little "Clara" shrine as she also gifted me the adorable birdie cupcake stand on the left that is now used to hold our car keys since this is right by the entry way from our garage.

I will say it again — 1 step closer to PERFECTION!!!

Another cute video

some updates

This is what Sparky does, during most of the day, when I'm supposed to be working.

(I took this precious pic when I was sick at home last week. Sick again! I am so useless!)

(Pardon my messy backyard. The fake grass is breaking down :( Need to put new one in)

And wh doesn't wanna see a close up pic of my son? So cute.

So the big news/ conversation starter nowadays for me is my Invisaligners! I just started two Fridays ago. I'm on my second set now. and GOSH! The first time did hurt a lot. Plus my dentist had to whip out his tiny set of saws to shave off some of my teeth coz my main problem is overcrowding. So now I have some gaps between my teeth, hopefully they will move quicker.

I'm bound to lose weight coz' wearing the aligners disallow me to snack throughout the day at my desk while I'm working. You can't eat with them on and it's a hassle to have to brush and floss everytime after i eat. Booooooo. Price of vanity.

Let's see if I'll be more perfect in 12 months!

The little extra things on some of my teeth are attachés, they help the aligners 'hold on' so they don;t move around too much.

The cutest Elly bag from Kate Spade

If I have a couple hundreds of thousands bucks lying around, then I'll consider getting this utterly charming yet kinda impractical basket-weaved tote from Kate Spade. I love elephants!

Linky here.

He knows how to call me 姑姑！

Date Night

Supposed to go watch the UFC fight but ended up as a Date Night since we got some time to be just alone. And when I say alone it means only the two of us.

So he surprised me with a trip back to this nice neighborhood with its own man made lake. He brought me there like 2+ years ago on a date—It was later in the night, and we just had dinner and I wanted to go home already but he refused to *release* me. So he drove me to this lakeside to hang out for a while and it was freezing! I remember being very nervous, because I thought he was going to "make his move" but he didn't. Phew~

It was only a few dates later then we became officially a couple. So when we stood at the same spot just now, I told him he owes me a kiss, as I didn't receive one 2 years ago. It's all good now.

Awkward smile due to my Invisaligners

I look FUGLY in this picture (pls do not click to enlarge it) but I think is awesomely funny so I have to share it. The ducks came out of nowhere on the right and started running so I pretended it was chasing me :)

But then we figured they weren't interested in us. (this is how we see it) Turns out that the 2 white ducks are females and the 2 dark brown/green ones are males and the latter is aggressively chasing one of the white ducks. Because I joined it in party, the victim went to hide under the front of our car! But the 2 males refused to give up (horny bastards) and keep pecking at the poor girl on her neck. So much that I could see it turning red and the feathers are coming out. See below.

The other white duck can't really help much so it stood helplessly on the side. I kept screaming at the males, trying to shoo them away. The BF actually LIGHTLY pushed one of the males away and it didn't bulge!!! DAMN!

The BF was videotaping the whole thing but in the end we realize that he didn't actually record it \"(-_-)/

After 2 minutes, he went to move the car backwards and the girl got out and the males kept chasing her to the grass and one of them almost successfully got on top of her and started his humping. Luckily in the end she somehow got away and I guess the males got tired and gave up.

DAMN. the males are violent. I guess ducks are one fo the species who really dun respect the females of their kind. Makes me don't like them as much. Especially when the females were so pretty in their white feathers..... hahahha

Anyways, the next stop was my favorite cupcake place in Vegas— The Cupcakery. I'm so surprised he remembered. I had to wait till we got to another place because since I have braces now, I need to take them out and wash it before I can eat, and then put them back on.

I'm happy I'm doing this but I hope I can endure the pain and inconvenience for now and then I'll be looking great in my new smile :)

Goodnight!

sparky

The BF saw Sparky lying down on the couch, without a care in the world, with his Ducky, and said: "It's like you're on vacation everyday!"

p.s. Sparky is much better now, he's back to normal! It's just that we have to watch is back (literally) and no let him jump too much. No medicine or vitamins would help. I've know a lot of people who have the bulging disc in their back too. It sucks!

current obssession 20

MAC Wonder Woman Collection!!!

I'm like 6 months late in getting roped into this news. Not news anymore technically. Most fo the items are sold out and boohoo! I have to pay more to get it on Evil-bay.

Getting that red lipstick (Russian Red) coz I tried my friend's and I felt in love with how my face beamed immediately.

Happy Easter!

From etsy seller, link here.

the BF's family is here, so our place will temporarily be a party house.

Went to my first bridal shower in USA, and it was short and sweet, had to skip the night out part coz of the BF's bbq party.

What's new but working like a Dog.

Sparky bit a little girl. It made me pretty upset.

I have a glass of Moscato next to me now and it's pretty good.

I have so many shopping obssessions, it's not funny.

I miss SF already

It was a perfect vacation!!! The skies opened up and the birds were singing. The GODs made me feel love with the perfect weather and beautiful nature that surrounds. My dear friends all made an effort to spend some time together, eating good food and catching up the lost times. Sighz. I miss that beautiful city, always something to do, always something nice happening.

It's not his first time in SF, but it's definitely a different trip with locals showing him around. Took him to many various neighborhoods to experience the wide variety of lifestyles that makes SF so unique. Also trying to psycho him to move to the Bay Area if possible!!! I hope I can call SF my home again.
