Winner Winner!

I'm ecstatically happy that I won my first ... lucky .. kinda contest EVER.



I didn't win originally cause I was #15/#16, so I was telling Wendy that I was a bit disappointed that I was so close to winning! But just 5 minutes later, Wendy told me that they had another update on Facebook and extended it to the first 25!! Next thing you know, I get a message from someone that works at AA telling me that I won and to forward them my information so I can claim my prize. I'm so excited!

So excited that I gave up my mini nap time before work even though I'm so lethargic! Hahaha. & FINALLY. A WDYWT post that came to use; first picture I thought of when deciding which picture to put up!

Carmel Beach


Beach fun with bffs!!! We were having a great time digging a hole that was approximately knee length deep & knee length wide till we saw this kid roll down the hill, which looked ... more fun. HAHA, so we hiked up another hill, waited till very few people were nearby, laid ourselves down and set ourselves ready to roll. Hahahaha, it was sooooo fun, I was laughing the entire way down, and I just kept rolling and rolling. It felt like forever! I felt a bit silly doing it and when I finally stopped, thinking that I was near the bottom, I was slightly nautious and stumbled around a bit, looking for Jessica who was recording our race. Hahaha, Wendy won. BOO! :c

While we were taking pictures up at the hill we were at, we noticed this old man with a huge camera pointed towards us when we turned around and shrugged it off assuming that he was probably taking a photo of someone else / something else. So we continued taking photos until we turned around again and his camera was directly at us!! Without thinking and with our quick reflexes not really knowing what we should do, we crouched down and tried to hide ourselves with our arms / sand. The guy probably realized we saw him looking at us, so he turned back around. Thinking that I probably got the wrong impression, went back to take to taking pictures only to turn around and see him AGAIN trying to take photos of us. That SON OF A B WORD then had the nerve to walk up towards us and while passing by, and ask, "What? You don't want to be on Youtube?!" I was so mad!! But I could only reply with, "No. Not really. ~_~" I should've called him a mother f wording son of a perverted ass b word! Stupid bastard!!!



Aside from our creeper encounter, we had a lovely time! ...Do you also see my hideous tennis tan!?! :c It looks like I'm freaken wearing thigh high footless nylons!

Playgrounds

I figured you guys would be tired of looking at my Dolce Vita sandals ... so before stepping out to hang out with my favorite, I opted for my jelly gladiators instead, even though I initially wanted to wear the other. Hahaha. We were originally going to head for the beach, but Jessypoo was unable to go, so we ended up going to Boiling Crab (2nd time!) again ... followed by our spontaneous decision to go to the playground to take photos. We had a good laugh spinning round and round on that one ride that feels like it never stops spinning and the whole world around you just becomes a blur.

Can you also tell that my hair looks a light brown / reddish undertones!? c:

Boiling crab again! But this time with XXX Spicyness.


Sweet Potato Fries


Fried Oysters


Our Limes, lol.


1 Pound of Shrimp in the Whole Shabang and XXX Spicyness.

Notice how the sauce looks a lot darker than the medium spicy sauce. It was actually spicy this time ... so much that it stung our lips and made our sweet potatoes ... unsweeet ... in a masochist kinda way. Hahahaha!

Forever 21'd Out


(Cassel Goorin men's hat, Forever 21 v-neck, leggings, blazer, Zara heels)


Ugly posture & picture! I was crouching down for the camera.. :c ... but at least you can see my hat! I freaken look like I'm ready to take a dooooskeeee, hahahahhaha!

Haha, Forever 21 almost everything to work! I actually ended up wearing my thrifted wedges to work instead though, but I wanted a photo with me wearing my new heels & new hat!!

Today I saw my co-worker who I haven't seen in like a month! She was out sick in the hospital because apparently she was overdosed with antibiotics that her doctors have given her. I guess they made a hasty decision because they thought if they didn't give her enough, she might really pass out ... forever .. I was so scared for her! I didn't know what happened to her till today, cause all I had heard was that she was on sick leave and that she was in the hospital. She was telling me how worried her husband had been because when she gets sick because when she gets sick, she gets really sick and passes out almost everytime. And that this time, he thought that she might really leave. She told me how supportive and strong her husband normally...and how she woke up one time and saw him sitting there next to her crying and telling her never to do that again, and that if she really left, he wouldn't know what to do.

The way she told me how everything happened made me so teary eyed. What if something like that happened to me one day? I don't even know if I could be so strong if I ever had to go through all the hardships that she went through! I needa give her another hug when I go back to work on Saturday....she's such a sweet, caring lady. :c

Berkeley & Lot Fun


(Block Headwear men's hat, Free People dress, cardigan from Hong Kong, Forever 21 sandals, vintage mom's fringed bag)

Had a suppppper work out today! I'm extremely sore after playing 2 hours of tennis and 2 hours of badminton. Super fun though! I miss playing sports. :c

Headed over to Berkeley later in the day to get our piercings at Industrial Tattoos. I actually didn't end up getting my piercing, but I will next time! The people there are super friendly and very helpful; it's a great place for tattoos / piercings in the Bay Area! We were all pretty hungry afterwards, so we had some pasta at Gypsy's Trattoria Italiano.


Chicken Pesto Pasta

I had the Chicken Pesto pasta which was something that I would not normally order, but it's something different. Nothing too especially great about it though. 's okay for ~$7.

We made our way back home in about half the time it would have taken had we driven at 60 mph, but Boss had a bathroom emergency, so he was driving super fast. Hahaha. Had a bit of some munchies so we headed over to In-N-Out for some burger and fries and then spontaneously decided that we needed to find a good night-time place with good lighting (not that it made that much difference, since my camera sucks!! T_T) and take random photos! Hahaha.



Ugly grainy photos. :c I look prego in it too!! BUT I'M NOT!!! I promise. I ate a lot & have shorts underneath my dress. :c .. I promise. :c :c :c

Juicy Peach



JUICY PEACH COLORED HAIR. It's actually not as extreme as it sounds, it's more of a dark brownish color with red undertones. I don't think my hair virginity can take too many drastic changes in color. Hahaha.

We used the Palty Hair Dye in Juicy Peach. Pictures later!

ORANGE?


(Uniqlo top, Zara cardigan, Rock & Republic jeans, Stuart Weitzman flats)

San Francisco with my honey bunny yesterday! It was an ... emotional day for the both of us, to say the least. Haha. I made a very "unusual" purchase ... at least for me. If I asked you to guess, you would've never guessed it.



Zara heels

Hahaha, I bought this pair of suede adobe-brick orange colored heels from Zara, which I actually am very in like with. I normally hate anything orange flavored or colored except for the fruit orange, but I really do like these heels! It's the first orange thing I ever owned!!! I also got this awesome striped green drapey cardigan from Zara that I'm wearing!



Pad Thai



Deep Fried Salmon w/ Peanuts & Red Curry

We had lunch at King of Thai Noodle House, which is a pretty large Thai chain in San Francisco. Wendy ordered the pad thai and I ordered the deep fried salmon topped with peanuts and red curry. 's alright, maybe it was because we didn't have much of an appetite.

Pockets!?


(Alice + Olivia dress, Forever 21 headband & cardigan, H&M tights, Stuart Weitzman flats)

I've worn this dress a couple times already, and barely now did I realize that it has pockets!! WHATTTT. The pockets just make me love this dress even more!


Speaking of dresses, I am currently infatuated with this Alexander Wang Batwing Dress, which I'm contemplating on.

Happy 4th!

It's the 4th of July already; everything's just breezing by! It'll be a year soon at S_ where I work... wow.

Hahha, well, this post has been long past due (intended to blog on Monday) because I've been meaning to blog about my experience at Boiling Crab after all the hype I've been hearing about this place and my WDYWT (it's about time I had one of these, huh, haha) to watch the Proposal.

As for Boiling Crab ... ehhhh ... it was okay, I wouldn't say that it was terribly bad... but I wouldn't would say that it was extremely good either. We ordered...


Sweet Potato Fries


Fried Oysters


1 lb of Medium (Spicy level) Shrimp in the Whole Sha-Bang Sauce


1 Medium (Spicy level) Dungeness Crab in the Whole Sha-Bang Sauce



I loved the sweet potato fries! Well, I like sweet potato fries anywhere, hahaha, so that's no biggie there. I accidentally knocked our sauce off the basket and almost knocked all of our oysters out too when I lifted up my arm without noticing the waiter right next to me. Hahahah. The sauce was actually pretty spicy, but it was gosh darn good! Shrimp & crab were alright, you can taste the sha-bang sauce on the outside, but once you peel off the shells, the meat inside tastes pretty much as is without the sauce. Overrall, it was pretty good ... until we ordered the dungeness crab, that was pretty pricey. Haha, it's fun if you don't mind looking at cooked underwater creatures .... head and bodies and everything, and getting dirty with your hands. I wouldn't say it's a place that gets you very full though, more like a place for you to snack on and watch all the flat screen TV's they have up. Service wasn't too bad for us, they were pretty attentive even when we were in a corner. I didn't like having to pay 25 cents for a cup of tap water though. It ended up being about $20 per person (for a party of 3 with what we ordered), which was a bit pricey for what we ate & for college students... but ... because of the crab!!! Hahah. It's okay, I might try Boiling Crab again.


OH! And in case you were wondering what that whole reddish-oily looking mess is, that is the Whole Sha-Bang sauce which consists of ... Rajun cajun, lemon pepper, and garlic butter all together! I won't lie... it was pretty oily and I felt a bit of my arteries clog from this, haha. It's pretty tasty though. Everything is also served in plastic bags/baskets!

Anddd my WDYWT to the Proposal! It was funny, but not as funny as people have told me. I liked the storyline and I couldn't stop staring at Sandra Bullock's Christian Louboutin heels!! ... I've been wearing these Dolce Vita sandals nonstop, you're probably tired of them, haha.

OH OH OH, and we went out for some Hello Dessert too! MY FAVORITE. Mango Moo for BBFWENDY and Willow Nectar for ME. c:
