LIME

jay walking and stopped at this island in castro street. photoshoot indeed!

been wanting to eat at this spot, but never had a chance. FINALLY we made it and had the best freakin' time!!! BOTTOM less MIMOSA $7.oo can't beat that...what is up with me and botttom less mimosas. Never really drank during day time, especially before 12noon. the outcome was funtastic!!!

looks ordinary but the taste is extraordinary!!!

after gulping one glass after another of mimosas, were off to downtown to do some damage!

at this moment...yess! i was buzzzin' it's crazy because if you're shopping and buzzin' no fear on what damage you might caused,hence damaging my wallet!

Zara is a must to stopped to see if they have ONE of those sale sales salesss!!! talking bout $5 shirts ;) yesss it's possible! but this scarf i have on is so pretty and comfy, thank god my buzzzin-ness was slowly fading away and didn't go gaga and purchased that $30 piece of cloth ( i dont mean it)ok i take it back that amazing' scarf!!!

cool hat! for mens ;)

I have a thing for HUGE mirrors...."can't take my eyes of you"

DINE & BOWL

the mission is one of the best spot to find good.hip.ecstatic dining in sf. Since me and the bf was  up for tapas and sangria, we found this place called Ramblas. This resto is considered to be a green restaurant, recycling and and converting waste vegetable oil into bio diesel. Also most ingredients are bought from their local farmers market. Anyway, food quality is fantastic but the downside is that the portions are little...i know i know tapas (small plate) but i've eaten at other tapa bars and it filled me up. Sangria was off the hook, got me buzzzed!

after dining out, we decided to pull some arm muscles and went bowling. I don't remember the last time i went bowling??? probably with my dad ;) sike! But i wasn't bad for being long gone in the scene of bowling, i HIT a STRIKE at my very first bowl!!! the wii sports came in handy, i guess?!

CITY

It's been 3 years since I visited the big apple. Time flies and I wanna go back really bad! 

I was on expedia searching to see how much it would cost and the fact that the economy is not doing well the price on this trip is unbelievable...mannn! only if i had the moola! i'll click away and book it and pack nothing but my makeup kit and underwears...

shopping galore to the big apple.

After seeing the city-whitney ports show, i wanna explore all the dining areas and hot spot for shopping. Yep! okay i'ma stop before i start feeling sad. ;(

SHOE-INVESTMENT

Quality is what most smart shoppers look for and here's a few of good quality shoes that can last and can definitely compliment most wardrobes in my closet.

• Steve Madden: I had doubts when I purchased these boots and was planning on returning them, but as it turns out they are a perfect pair for all types of wardrobe. Plus they are so comfortable and can walk for hours.
• Guess: These pair of pumps is so pretty when i wear skirts and jeans. It surely adds length to my petite legs.
• Uggs: What can I say? every girl must have a pair DUH! well if you don't then it's a must for you to purchase one. This is my second pair, i ruined my chestnut by jumping into a puddle with oil...don't ask why?!
• Calypso Baker boots: I'm so inlove with these boots! my fave so far and been sporting it for most of my nightouts. Sooo Cute with most of my wardrobe!!!

VALENTINE'S DAY

CUPID'S BRUNCH:

Unplanned cruise turned out to be such a FUN brunch in the city. My dad planned a surprise cruise in the city with my mum, unfortunately she couldn't make it because of work. The cruise was non-refundable and it would be such a waste if no one goes, so my dad convinced me and joe to go. Wow! after partying the night before, we were freakin' tired and exhausted...thank god' not wasted ;)

We weren't really planning on doing anything, but as it turns out we actually made this v-day a very special day. It's been raining for days and what do you know, the rain stopped during our 2 hour brunch and so was able to take pictures YAY! it was freezing cold-49 degrees to be exact!!!

Just recently, we watched Titanic and it reminded me of the movie while were on the boat. No glaciers, but definitely strong winds. By the way it was bottom less champagne/ Mimosa!!! 

As planned we continued this very special day of lovey dovey by cooking our dinner. 

For starters: Cheese and Crackers along with a bottle of Pinot Noir

Secondi: Tomato and Basil soup with Tomato Medley mixed vegetables

Main course: Grilled Salmon with lemon and a hint of rosemary & Grilled Asparagus with olive oil

Desert: Tiramisu (Trader Joe's) no time to bake so we purchased ;)

After dinner we had a movie night and watched Zack and Miri make a PORNO.

 I fell asleep and we were both knocked out. What a long day it was ;) Anywho, i enjoyed joe's company~ and will continue to enjoy ;)

Weekend

El Presidente weekend and the cousin is in town for a visit. A nightout in the Bay Area as per her request and what a lovely night that was. It was a chilly night, but was able to manage wearing shorts thanks to them free tequila shots at mercury lounge.

PHOTO FUN

PHOTO GALORE:

Delusions of somewhere down the road...I'll be...???

FRIDAY THE 13th

Just before warming up my coche, i have to take a quick glance of my appearance (vain indeed)! and while i was at it a quick shot-might as well. A girl gots' to do what a girl gotta do. Well anyway it's friday the 13th and didn't realize that V`day is tomorrow. I was planning on getting a card for joe last week (procrastinator indeed)!  last minute stop at target. 

I'm not a big fan of getting those cards that says: "You'll forever be my soulmate...yata yata yata"!!! I'm more like: "Olive you" and that's all what the message in the card would say. But this card i found was so cute! Me and Joe are major foodies and so this card is perfecto mundo! the message inside says: "and you're just what I ordered"...hahha! cheesy but not too cheeeeeezzyyy!!! 

XXI

Candy the sweetest dog ever! she's just adorable even though she doesn't know any tricks. Btw it's her birthday this thursday~ she's an old maid ;(

Ever thought of how straight guys would react to a store such as XXI hahha! here's a sample!!! i believe that guys that knows their sense of style is awesome, compare to those who look so 

un-together NOT a word i know, but you know what i mean..no need for them tackiness!!!!

Sprinkles

I finally got a taste of that ohh so popular cupcake from Sprinkles. This place is a must if you want a good cup of cake. Red velvet is to die for!!! It's funny when i took this pic, i didn't intend to have my chewed gum on there but it looks pretty neat with the glare of the window glass the cloud sets the theme of heaven. The cupcake was heavenlidelicious ;)

I bought four cupcakes, 3 for me and 1 for Joe. Hehehe...

i got the black and white and dark chocolate.

Leng Loi

A trip to Stockton & Jackson any guesses? 

Yep! a random trip to chinatown before the big parade ;) 

The idea of just driving in the narrow streets of chinatown is just gaga. I did about 10-15 rounds around 2 blocks, believe me I almost got a $70 dollar ticket from a cop riding his mountain bike. Don't ask me why? i have road rage by the way and not a fan of driving. 

But to get my mom's ground pork for a well discounted price by mentioning "big mama" who is my grandma that is a local buyer, kinda like "vip"...didn't know that existed on buying 

ground pork.

Finally, i found a perfect parking! Right across the fortune cookie factory ;)

A full bag of fortune cookies in my right arm.

Wow! This man looks like the Mayor of chinatown!!! 

Is that a papaya she's holding and a banana peel?

Yummy fruity fruits!

i'm probably not coming back for a few months, driving is just ridiculous. But enjoyed the scenery of sf's finest chinatown.
