Ice cream. Strawberry long island. Life saver.

evidence shown here proves that my productivity went out the door on sunday. i really have to move in now because i have just paid my landlord rent. today i went to GTA to sign up for internet...and was coaxed into signing up for a phone line to qualify for the promo. it was the longest hour of "customer service" i've ever had to experience in my ilfe. i had to decide whether i wanted cable and internet with MCV, or internet and phone with GTA. i could live without the cable and i would probably regret it if i didn't have a lan line....especially with kylan possibly being at home alone on occasion or the threat of typhoons. i have the slingbox for my viewing pleasure and we will have to live off of that. now i have to wait 3-5 days until the interenet is activated for me to deem the condo inhabitable. i can't live without internet because of my part-time job after hours so i hope it gets in sooner. in the meantime, i have one large load to haul to the condo and i am officially moved in.

Golf in sand

Truly a first. My poor baby was stuck in the sand at gun beach. Lesson learned. Just in case, i'll always carry straps and hooks in my car.It was my biggest newbie moment yet. I had this glorious vision of driving off into the sunset in my little car.....literally 12 feet into the sand and I am stuck. I am never one to conjure up other people for help. I had just gotten off the phone with my trusted comrade and even told him to have a nice Sunday afternoon. But not even one hour later, I have no choice but to beckon. Nobody offered to help....even with my son, my lovely friend and her lovely dog, and me all helpless and in a bathing suit....LOL.

elevator

i work hard for my money. long day. can't the elevator just get here?

today I had to be in a meeting 80 miles away in Santa Rosa...good lord!! my jet lag has not completely escaped me and i'll tell you....i do not miss the bay area traffic. before leaving for guam, i was given a title adjustment and salaray increase...and i am being eased into my new role of managing more projects. unfortunately a little too little, too late since i've been snagged by duties on guam. i am guilt ridden about the whole thing.

Havent slept since 1am. i am fueled by rock star. i missed the eliptical machine. for whatever reason, it was really hard to get on the eliptical on guam. i refused to workout on the floor at paradise fitness ctr. it smelled of stinky man. actually i'm quite sure that's what it was. i went there to do the hip boxing class a few times. i think just the fact that i sweat on guam so much...it makes me feel like a sweaty pig. and that's just wrong to feel like a pig. so i'd rather work out like crazy and feel not-so-piggish when i sweat.

so the celebration concluded and it was fun celebrating with almost every person on this planet that gave a damn. this girl is 28 for heaven's sake, not 21! my only wish from my night out .... was "please lord, don't let me vomit any of the alcohol i'll be consuming for the next few hours". after many beers, mojitos, reisling, vodka-crans, and a freakin' llager bomb....i survived! no hangover, no unsettling belches....just glad it's over!

When In LA....

Mixed Fruits with Tapioa and Milk

Another truly whirlwind adventure has passed. after my pilates obligation on saturday morning, kylan and i stormed off to lalaland to be with little sister and her bf. i drove there in record time....4.5 hours!! and it took the same exact time to return. it was all about experiencing food wherever we went. churros and sausages with sundried tomatoes in venice beach; tapas and sangria in old pasadena; fresh seafood in redondo beach...then there was pinkberry yogurt and taiwan boba in between. there was also the griffith park observatory where we saw clear sweeping views of the usually-smoggy vision. the catch is that saturday night was also supposed to be a quick escape for an uninhibited night out with friends in san diego. the missed connection happened because we had nowhere to park our butts for the evening. lovely gf of mine failed to follow through but we were fine and happy with the familia in la.

Feels like friday!

Elephant Bar has the most unexpected de-lish mojitos ever!! For 8.25, you get a 16 oz mojito. This is the Passion-Orange-Mango Mojito and it was perfectly garnished with just the right amount of mint, orange, and lime. I want this everyday.

Light headed for other reasons.

I have been feeling ill and light headed for a week now and while i orginally thought it was an ear infection...it is apprently not. when we went out last week, i had to pause for a few minutes to get my balance back. i am waiting for the doctor's diagnosis and have already ruled out the possibility that i would be pregnant. i have no clue why i would have headaches, dizziness, and just the feeling of being ill. still worried. we met up with phuc at chez nous, watched the Roots, and then took a detour at a hookah joint. it was fun.

Hawt! yet hurtful!

My Jimmy Choo shoes, courtesy of Sex and the City! These are a $630 pair of shoes. Now if only they didn't hurt so much. Waited 9 hrs for these:-) We met some AWESOME WOMEN and bonded with them for hours....that was the best part! Well hrmm maybe the shoes are still the BEST part. Anyway while browsing in SATC/Shoe mode, I found these SHOE BLOGS

Shoeblog - mostly about Manolo's, another brand featured in SATC

Shoewawa - fun name, fun site

Sex and the City IN the City

KRON 4 sponsored a SATC event and gave away 1000 pairs. Thanks to Phuc, who sparked the interest from word from a friend....he turned Joie on to the whole thing and lo and behold...we find ourselves laying on the sidewalk at Union Square at 430 in the morning. In line for jimmy choo shoes. We got here at 4am and are numbers 312 to 314

Self Portrait


woohoo long drive!!
Originally uploaded by fabulousmimi.
Yes im driving! I had to keep myself entertained because I drove the entire way to and from Vegas. Well actually, got help for the last hour and a half on the way into Vegas. My cousin Holly and Kylan were just dead weight in my car. I had to dance, rap, take pictures, and play dj while driving. Going there was a cinch but the return was exceptionally lengthy. Nothing I couldn't handle, though. I'm just glad I left early enough to catch the Entourage finale on Tivo and get to bed. I'm not tired at all. More details later.

Here we go...


vegas baby!!
