27!

Today is my 27th birthday! AHH!! Juan's mom made me breakfast in bed, so sweet. Eggs and pancakes. Mmmmm... After our wonderful breakfast in bed Juan and I re-capped last night's adventure at Universal. I had SO MUCH fun! A lot of old friends were able to be there and they made the night wonderful.

We made it back to Oceanside around 3 and helped prepare a birthday dinner and then had a nap. The night was finished with a friendly game of Monopoly... LOL! I have everything I need... Great family, awesome friends and a whole lot of love!

BRING ON ANOTHER YEAR!

Puppy Problems!

We got a puppy on Friday... I was at Juan's for the weekend so I haven't had the pleasure of listening to the girl Whine. Right now she is in the laundry room, which is the room next to mine. Her whines are driving me insane!!! It sounds like a small monkey has it's head locked in a vice and it's watching one of it's loved ones being eaten by wild dogs! UGH!!! If it wasn't so cute I would have to go in there and kick it. I hope this doesn't last too long. I have to close my eyes and picture Lady and the Tramp.

-Here's to a sleepless night and NOT in Seattle.

Crazy things people do

*Disclaimer: In NO WAY do I mean to belittle the devastating affect of the earthquake in China last year or disrespect those who lost their lives... I just thought the actions of this ONE lady was a little humorous.*

YouTube is sort of a guilty pleasure for me. Especially when I start trying to find videos that might shock me. I don't know what it is about Earthquake videos... but I love them the most.

It might be the fact that earthquakes catch people off guard or I wonder *What would I do in that situation*. This clip caught me off guard. Watch it first...

OK... now, I used to work with a company called FLS International where I had huge groups of students, from all around the world, visit the states. They would stay for about two weeks so we got to know the kids pretty well. I remember a group from China and a conversation I had with the leader of the group. The conversation was about how people "from his country" take responsibility in their work VERY seriously. Doing everything they can to make sure that the job is done... apparently come hell or shaking earth.

I was really into the video when the nice lady at the checkout counter was presenting her ticket to the lady at the counter... then things begin to shake! I'm thinking *I would definitely be running by now*. THEN at 0:55 something extraordinarily ODD happens! The lady, after all the things falling or shaking around her PULLS THE DIVIDER CLOSED? What a GAL! And then, at 1:14 we see that her dutifully closed rope has been opened by another employee to let screaming people through. LOL! WTF!?

This one's for YOU, Airport rope closer lady!

A California Ending

At the end of a LOOOONG day at school Hana and I decided it would be a sweet idea to grab a Slurpee at 7-11. I wasn't too excited about getting a cup full of frozen sugar so I thought it would be best to just get a water. When, to my surprise, there was a flavor that made me hear angels singing from on high... Crystal light! It was an orange flavored crystal light Slurpee!!! NO JOKE! Although there wasn't any sort of nutritional list for me to check how true the little assuring "sugar free", in the corner of the label, was... it was enough for me. I grabbed the smallest cup, not the huge "a family of ten couldn't finish me" cup. Even though if I did so choose to get the cup of 1,000 days it would only cost a few cents more. WHAT A DEAL? After a few seconds of mentally wrestling with my inner conflict... i grabbed the smaller cup before it was too late.

We decided to take our delicious treats down to the beach and sat on some rocks against the backyards of the multi-million dollar homes no one EVER seems to be in. Even though the sun was low the heat of the day still kept us nice and warm. The smell of the salty breeze and the dull roar of the waves mixed with the sounds of our voices as Hana and I caught up on gossip.

I took this picture! GO ME!!!

In moments like that I don't feel unemployed, I don't worry that I only have $10 in my wallet, all I have is exactly what I need... A warm breeze, surreal sunset, some great sugar free delights and a savory helping of gossip.

Hot BREFF

Another new classification of posts! I came up with this one last night just as we were going out to Rich's. I was in the car with a few friends and Juan. We were talking about how Clique-ish people in the gay community can be (they don't like to share friends). My friend, for her protection from nosey self-righteous gossipers will be given the codename "Sugar" since she loves to make cookies, has noticed certain people love to introduce but not be introduced. When an introduction does come they become... prepare yourself, it's a dirty phrase... CUNTY! I couldn't help but to crack up! So dirty, right? I mean, that word is right up there with cock, smut, panties and all the other words that don't easily roll of the tongue.

The reason why I loved it was because it fit the situation SO WELL. If someone is more then happy to receive in introduction to your friends and then receive a stink face and 'TUDE in return when you do the same... you are being a cunt! Therefore, acting "cunty"!

Sugar found it hilarious also and so did "SPICE" (my other friend in the car). Although I think they laughed more because I found it so hilarious. LOL!

So the next time you find yourself in the land of friendly introductions... avoid being CUNTY.

Or

DO IT WITH A SMILE...

Sounds even better than SHAM-WOW!!!

Way more convincing than HEAD ON...

BUT... Not better than the cleaning POWER of this gift from GOD...

I don't know about you, but a "Dr." who can't figure out how to re-direct his own mail and says "clothings and mails" has the sounds of police raiding my house in a few months. No thanks! I didn't even respond. Especially with all the Mexican drug stuff going on.

Let's go with... "I would like to keep my head" for $500, Alex.

NOT TODAY!

G & D's B (Gina & Duke;s Baby)

My Sister has been pregnant for

a few weeks now and has been keeping it under wraps. Her and her husband didn't want to say anything before they were certain. Today my mom and I went up to Long Beach to go to her first doctor's appointment.

I stayed in the waiting room reading Bridal magazine... Hahahaha. It was the only browse-worthy one out of the bunch! Anyway, a few brides' tales and center-piece ideas later they came out with pictures of the little blob that will soon be my niece or nephew. :)

It's so amazing how beautiful it is... life... We will all be very lucky to have this new little person in our lives, come November.

Can't WAIT!

a bit of "FRESS BREFF" (fresh breath)

Thoughout the day I notice something... wether it is somethin someone is wearing or a building or a mannerism... and I like it or I think it's refreshing... So I am creating my first offical CLASS of postings called "FRESS BREFF".

Just in case you were wondering why I spell it that way (laughs a little) it's because it's the way a F.O.B. would say it. LOL! ----> Juss a bid of fress breff in da mornin time... I'll blog about FOBS soon-or-later. :) I know the pacific islanders know what I'm talking about.

SO! The first bit of FRESS BREFF is *drum roll*:

BALBOA PARK

Tuesday, Juan, Marissa and I had made some delicious sandwiches and took them to the park for a picnic lunch. After enjoying our savory afternoon meal we strolled through the gardens and various buildings. Having been born and raised in southern California, the influence of the Spanish is in almost everything, I have only begun to appreciate the uniqueness of So-Cal. Balboa is indeed a part of the unique San Diego. The architecture is definitely Spanish revival but it's also such more that that. The scale alone of the moldings almost makes me feel optimistic, something close to the effect that Disneyland makes it's guests feel. The cartoon characters over-sized features like Goofey's shoes or Mickey's hands makes them less threatening, with that same type of effect the moldings and ornamentation make me feel comforted and protected. Weird, right?

Anyway, Balboa Park is my first shared piece of FRESS BREFF. If you live near it and haven't been... I suggest you go soon. If it just so happens that you are far far away, it's something I would put on a list of things and places to see before this life is done.

Breff it in...
