the lights are on, but everyone's gone

As I looked through my flickr photostream, I spotted two photos I neglected to post on this blog.

Better late than never, here's how I looked on June 8, 2012:

scarf: American Apparel, gift from Alannah.....hoody: Old Navy.....top:(can't remember)

skirt: Target.....Converse shoes: gift from my brother

I changed into this outfit after work. I watched Snow White & The Huntsman. I couldn't care less about Kristen Stewart as Snow White. It was all about Charlize Theron as the Queen. She was FIERCE.

That reminds me. I am so adding the special edition dvd of that movie to my Amazon wishlist.

my uniform

When I'm not working, one can find me in a baggy sweater, a random top, jeans, and sneakers.

This is how I looked on May 13.

sweater: Nordstrom.....top: hand-me-down from Rachel.....Levi's jeans: Kohls

socks: Target.....Chuck Taylors: Foot Locker

leave them hanging on the line, calling gloria

I love karaoke.

One of the adults-only events on the Disney Cruise that I thoroughly enjoy is Karaoke Night.

Here I am, singing Laura Branigan's "Gloria." Loooooove that song!

vacation time to get away

Another Disney Cruise post. Of course!

The first two Disney Cruises, Brian and I were on the Disney Magic. This time, we got to be on the Disney Wonder.

What I looked forward to a lot on this cruise was taking a photo next to the Ariel statue.

sweater: H&M.....tanktop: Gap.....shorts: Target

flip-flops: giftshop at The Mirage in Vegas

One of the ports of call was Puerto Vallarta.

Here I am with my super-lovely niece.

I'm 5'2", and my 9-yr old niece is tall for her age. Just thought I'd share that.

top: Ross.....shorts: Target.....
mini-socks: Walmart.....teal Chucks: eBay

vacation all i ever needed

In March, I went on a Disney Cruise with Brian and our families to the Mexican Riviera.

This is photographic proof that I will wear whatever I want to wear on vacation, regardless of the weather.

This is what I wore on the first day onboard.

Yes, I am wearing a hoody AND a leather jacket. But I am sooo loving on my pina colada / strawberry daiquiri drink!

This is my second day onboard.

Black hoody: Old Navy.....skirt: Target
top: Ross.....shorts (not seen): cut-up leggings
mini-socks: Walmart.....teal Chuck Taylors: eBay
lanyard: Castaway Club silver membership

Bonus pic of my cruise manicure.

nail colour: "Don't Mess With Texas" by OPI

drink of the day: some limey Midori goodness

so, all you fly mothers, get on out there and dance

July 31 - This is what I've worn in 80-degree weather. No, seriously.


sweater: H&M.....top: Nordstrom Rack.....skirt: Target
socks: Target.....shoes: Converse

Lately, I find myself covering up my arms but letting my (ghostly) legs get some sun.

i feel the night explode when we're together.

the late afternoon of July 17, 2011 - Brian and I walked all over downtown San Jose. I brought along my camera to photograph my outfit. Why not.

sweater: H&M.....top: Gap.....denim leggings: JC Penney
socks: Target.....shoes: Converse Chuck Taylors
purse: Liz Claiborne, gift from Brian's mom

I seriously wore this outfit to an A's baseball game earlier that day (along with a leather jacket). Rachel and I endured the heat to see the A's beat the Angels. It was 80s weekend, so we were treated to Taylor Dayne's divine singing of "Tell It To My Heart" and the National Anthem, MC Hammer bobbleheads, MC Hammer throwing out the first pitch, and vintage A's commercials. Also, our tickets were $19.89 a piece, to celebrate 1989. Awesome blossom.

Both Rachel and I hadn't been a MLB game in FOREVER. We definitely had a fun time!

Can you feel me in stereo?

Comfy outfits for a relaxing weekend.

This is how I looked on June 26:

t-shirt: Castaway Cay gift shop......jeans: Charlotte Russe
socks: Target.....Chuck Taylors: Footlocker
hidden belt to keep my pants from falling down: Mervyn's


Castaway Cay is Disney's private island in the Bahamas. Brian and I have been on two Disney Cruises that stopped there.

Saturday, I walked around downtown SJ for a little grocery shopping at Zanotto's and to pick up dry-cleaning. Later that day, I did more shopping at Whole Foods and I cooked three racks of babyback ribs for Brian. Yes, three racks.

This is how I looked today:

t-shirt: San Jose Sharks store.....skirt: NY & Co.
mini-socks: Target.....Chuck Taylors: eBay


I purchased these shoes off eBay because they're teal and they go with my Sharks jerseys. According to the box the shoes came in, the shade is officially "aqua," but it didn't match any aqua Chucks that I had seen in stores.

Brian and I visited my family, and then we had dinner at Chevy's.

Me gustas tal come eres.

This is how I looked on March 27:


Hurley hoody: PacSun.....top with lace edging: Nordstrom Rack.....denim leggings: JC Penney
socks: Target.....Chuck Taylor hi-tops: Foot Locker
scarf: H&M

Saturday, March 27 - Rachel and Shawn came over. We had really good barbecue at Henry's Hi-Life. Then, we went to a Sharks game. Such fun!!

Since the day you came along, I look at life so differently.

This how I looked on December 25:

cabled knit cardigan: JC Penney.....tanktop: Kohls.....jeans: Charlotte Russe
socks: Target.....shoes: Chuck Taylor hi-tops
plastic right-hand ring: gift from the niece~!!
scarf: American Apparel, gift from Alannah~!!

Alannah sent me this tie-dyed circle scarf for Christmas, and it's safe to say it is my go-to scarf! I love it! Thank you, Alannah!

Brian and I spent Christmas night at my family's place. My siblings really know how to throw down a food feast: standing rib roast, turkey, potatoes au gratin, green bean casserole, stuffing, and mashed potatoes and gravy. There was so much good food! The niece and the nephew both got what they wanted, and as always, these two kids are the bestest.

So, all in all, it was an awesome Christmas!
