Spring into Summer

Sorry for the long hiatus, but I've just been super busy lately.  I've been taking classes and commuting to Santa Clara two times a week and working.  In between everything, there's really no time, but to study.  Well the madness has ended and this week should be a pretty good week!  The weather is beautiful and I think we'll actually get a summer this year.  I love this weather and I'm so ready for summer!

Anyhow, here's some pictures from the past couple of months.

 At Jenny and AK's apartment warming!

 

BFF and I outside their apartment

Phil's Birthday dinner at Town Hall. Cheers!

It looks like he's very surprised! 

Look at the details of the cake

We ambushed her as she was walking to her seat!

Jenny's super adorable niece and nephew. Seriously the most adorable boy ever!!

They have a love/hate relationship.  They'll fight, but Alanna is so overprotective over her brother too.  I joked around and said I was taking him home and she started crying. 

That Donovan is such a ladies man

Delicious dim sum from Jenny's uncle's resturant in San Mateo. Champaign Lounge. Look at all the food!!!

Big sis' birthday

Date night to reward ourselves after our 16 page paper was due.

 

A mask to treat the non stop stress that's been going on.  Felt so good afterwards!

 

We got out of our first final early enough to make our way to Orenchi for some delicious ramen to reward ourselves.  Good food is the remedy to all problems!

Smitten Ice Cream in Hayes Valley

 Made fresh to order! They even patented their ice cream making machine! So perfect on our Friday off!

Took at hike at Land's End in San Francisco. So beautiful!

After running some errands we headed to our archery lesson, which was super fun and tiring!! My arms were sore the next day.

Saturday dinner at Alexander's

Another UCD Graduate! Oh Davis heat, I do not miss you!

Viet Ha in Sacramento. You definitely get your bang for your buck here! I could have totally shared this dish.

Love their ice cream freezes. Choose one scoop of ice cream and two flavors of freezes.  I chose a scoop of their mango ice cream with their strawberry and lemon freeze. So perfectly refreshing for this weather!

Coachella Weekend 2 2012

I've been sick for the past week trying to recover from Coachella festivities.  Luckily, it wasn't until after Coachella that I got sick.  I guess it was an exhausting weekend because I don't remember the last time I was this sick!

Another thing knocked off of my bucket list. I've always wanted to attend this outdoor music concert that I've heard so much great things about. This was the year that some of my friends decided to go. Of course I was stoked that not only people wanted to go, but we'd also have a place to stay.  My friend, Ele, offered to let us stay at her aunt's place.  I am so thankful we didn't have to camp.  I'm not sure I would have survived.  First night consisted of us, rushing from SF to Oakland airport to fly down to Burbank for Ele to pick us up and then errands before heading to Indio, CA.  We made it just in time to witness Swedish House Mafia perform.  They were awesome, but my feet were not.  It was stupid of me to walk from the parking lot to the event in what seemed like 5 inch wedges.  It was about a 15 minute walk of torture.  My wonderful bf took off his socks for me to walk in them back to the car, otherwise, I don't think I would have made it back.

Coachella Outfit day 1.

It was hot in the city, so I was dressed prepared for the sunny socal weather.

We decided to hang out at our nice air conditioned place before heading out to the heat.  We drank, we ate and hung out by the pool, even snuck in some naps.

Coachella day 2 outfit

Rocking my sister's hello kitty glasses and my orange crochet top with my bathing suit underneath.  It was freaking hot!  I think I had the most fun this day.

Last and final day. We left a little earlier, right before sunset and did some parking lot pre partying.

Coachella day 3 outfit

I had so much fun.  I would definitely attend again.  I loved the open space, the weather and of course we had great company!  Next time I'll have to really study the bands and DJ's.  Despite my almost non existence knowledge of most of the performers, I enjoyed all the performances we were able to watch: David Guetta, Avicii, The Weeknd, Snoop, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kaskade...

For most people I went with, they're probably used to the amount of debauchery, but for me, it's been awhile since I've partied like that.  My willingness to drink every time someone called me out on it.  10 days later and I'm feeling nostalgic.  Bring me back please.

Dimsum date turned into a Bridesmaid party...

 My under the weather feeling pretty much subsided by Saturday morning.  Though I did wake up with a pounding headache that felt like a hangover.  It was beautiful out on Saturday morning!  I made my way to Milbrae to have dim sum with some of my nearest and dearests...

To find out in the end that it was a scheme for my big sis to gather all her bridesmaids together, well the ones that live within driving distance.  SURPRISE!!

Introducing the bridal party....

 GREG, oh wait...no he's the groom.  He's taking Hang's place. Me. Annie. Jenny and Jane (her Maid of Honor). 

 Super sweet and creative way to ask us to be part of her big day!!

Yes.

A box full of goodies.

Love it.

 Love it. so me!

So true.

I am definitely honored and excited to be able to be part of Steph and Greg's big day!

It's my first time being a bridesmaid.  I will need all the advice and help I can get. Yay!

It will be a busy busy year, so bring it on! I'm ready for it.

Friday the 13th

Happy Friday the 13th.

For the most part the day went smoothly, so not much bad luck on my part, besides the fact that I'm feeling a little under the weather.

At least there's no more lightning and thunder today.  It was crazy yesterday.  Anyhow,  hope the weather stays nice for the next 10 days. Super excited for Coachella next weekend.  I can not wait!

Playing with apps on my phone...

 

This is how I eat my mango. Yummy!
