<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">So I ordered 2 pairs of contact lenses and a pack of fake eye lashes from loveshoppingholics.com about 2 weeks ago. It arrived today! I've been ordering circle lashes from them for about 2 years now. I love ordering things online so it feels like I received a "gift" once I get home lol. Anyways, back to the package. So I received much more than i expected.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I was wondering why they gave me a free pair of contact lenses and a free pair of fake eyelashes.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I'm going to start blogging again! So what's new with me? I've moved down to the Los Angeles area since the summer of 2011. I was looking at my old blog posts and can't believe how fast time went by. I was also in Hong Kong and Kyushu, Japan last winter. Ah I want to visit Japan this year again! Let's see if that will actually happen.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Well I've been doing a lot of shopping lately. It seems like I shop every weekend and end up buying things even though I wasn't looking for that certain item. The following two items are recent purchases that are everyday (weekend) pieces that I can wear that can match pretty much any outfit. I say weekend because I tend to not dress up to work. I look like I just rolled out of bed pretty much everyday at work LOL! </span></div>

Hi! I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was nice and long because I took today off. I really needed the break. I was down in LA and I just went crazy with the shopping. There were too many discounts... I couldn't help it. All my hauls will probably be in another post. I will mainly blog about the food haha!<br /><br />I finally went to Redondo Beach because I wanted to try the fresh Santa Barbara sea urchins. I never knew they were so famous in Japan even. I feel so dumb now because I used to go to college at UC Santa Barbara so I could have just gone to the finish market in the morning. I had heard about it but I was always so lazy about getting up. Well now that I know there's a fish market called Quality Seafood in Redondo Beach, I don't have to drive up to SB for fresh sea urchins anymore.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/TCBaSydEz0I/AAAAAAAAAZ8/RZ3wCxX9kNc/s1600/IMG_9868.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><br />
Picked out my sea urchin. It sure was alive....<br />

The guy whacked it and cleaning it out for us.<br />

Here you go. Time to eat up. It tasted so fresh and it was still moving and it tried to climb out of our plate. I felt so barbaric. These kids were like "can we touch it?" "What is it?" We got a lot of attention while eating lol.<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/TCBWkAXPjtI/AAAAAAAAAZk/6LveelK-Sdk/s1600/IMG_9852.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485479522710032082" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/TCBWkAXPjtI/AAAAAAAAAZk/6LveelK-Sdk/s400/IMG_9852.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
Me holding it. It was still moving dude... even after we finished eating it! I bought this hat at UO for $5 because they had an additional 50% off sale items. I got this 3 weeks ago but they had that kind of sale again just this past weekend.<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/TCBWkmDoQ7I/AAAAAAAAAZs/8Ct9QTrO5Dc/s1600/IMG_9853.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485479532828312498" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/TCBWkmDoQ7I/AAAAAAAAAZs/8Ct9QTrO5Dc/s400/IMG_9853.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 300px;" /></a><br />
We also picked out a red snapper and got it fried on the spot. It was really good!<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/TCBWk0gQUbI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/s8GvvLgGQyk/s1600/IMG_9863.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485479536706474418" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/TCBWk0gQUbI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/s8GvvLgGQyk/s400/IMG_9863.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
We got a nice view of the dock while we were eating!<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/TCBaTd0pFHI/AAAAAAAAAaE/uX0bNIDJ2QU/s1600/IMG_9869.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485483636606702706" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/TCBaTd0pFHI/AAAAAAAAAaE/uX0bNIDJ2QU/s400/IMG_9869.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
There was also an oyster bar with all different kinds of live oysters, like my fave kumamoto oysters. They kept having to go back to refill it because everyone wanted to eat that type. We skipped on oysters because the wait was way too long. I would go to Quality Seafood again. You could seriously just pick what you want to eat and they'll cook it right there for you. I mean even clams, lobsters, and crabs.<br />
<br />
So on Sunday, we went and tried a Thai restaurant called Sapp Coffee Shop. I honestly only knew about it after watching Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations lol. I tried the boat noodles and it turned out fabulous! I've never had this type of noodle soup before so it was exciting to try something new. The broth was concentrated, beefy, and full of spices. Good thing I only asked for medium spicy and didn't ask for spicy because it would have been too intense for me. The one I ordered might not be for everyone though. It had beef and innards like liver, tendon, and tripe. Don't worry, there is also boat noodles with just beef!</div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;">It's been so warm lately... I'm LOVING it! I'm so happy that it finally feels like summer. It's my favorite season! Too bad San Francisco weather doesn't follow seasonal patterns though. Anyways, I'm updating with Marie Antoinette's estate. It wasn't as grand as the palace but it's the simplicity and girly aspect that I like.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;">Loved this simple hallway. It was nice that we could take decent pics because it wasn't as crowded here.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;">SO that's all from Versailles. It was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. Sorry for posting so many pictures! I get so sad when looking at these pictures because I feel like I need another vacation already haha! I have so much more I want to blog about but I'm just so tired after a long day at work. I think I only have two more Paris posts and that's it. Next up is random Paris stuff. See you later!</span></div>

I have so much stuff to post lol.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">One of my favorite parts of my Versailles trip were the gardens of Versailles. It was so massive so I was not able to see everything. Some people rented golf carts and bikes but we were too cheap to do that. We didn't even get to see the gardens at Marie Antoinette's estate. We didn't know about it and it was already pretty late so we just left. We were trying to make it back to the Louvre. I really regret it now! We still had a lot of fun though.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Looking to the left of the gardens.</span><br /><a style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_4751i.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 333px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_4751i.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Cool patterns.</span><br /><a style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_4754i.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 333px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_4754i.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">View of the north side.

So I'm back to using blogspot again. I just can't seem to stick to one blog! Well I'm back because blogger is easier to use and it loads faster. Well back to the Paris updates. Today's topic is Versailles! This was probably my favorite place during my trip to Paris. It was so beautiful and I've never been to a place like this. I will have to break up Versailles into multiple posts. I just had too many pictures!! This post will be about the Palace of Versailles. It was quite difficult trying to take pictures because there were so many people! I went during a weekday plus it wasn't tourist season yet. Sorry for the bad photos... I just picked the ones that weren't too blurry hehe!<br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Outside of entrance of the palace. So massive and look at how many people there were!</span><br /></span><a style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_4633.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 333px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_4633.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: arial;">Outside again!

The State Apartment rooms were quite small for the amount of people visiting. Good thing most of the people were little kids so I could see over them haha! They didn't block my camera view at all... it was just those adults! There was so much detail in every single one of the rooms. It was hard to take pictures because I wanted to take a picture of every single thing like the paintings and ceilings lol! Ok the gardens of Versailles will be next so stay tuned! Gnite!</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div>Moohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11096970105082681278noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472549351825640100.post-86300625846653783622010-06-01T23:40:00.000-07:002010-06-04T00:09:28.150-07:00Tomales Bay and Sainte Chapelle<div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Hi!

This was my first time going to an oyster farm! We brought so much food and bought too many oysters! We couldn't finish all of it and had to give the rest away. I also ended up shopping again today because there were so many sales going on because of Memorial Day! Urban Outfitters had a sale and it was a take an additional 50% off on existing sales.

<span style="font-family: arial;">Hi I'm back with another part of my Paris vacation! This time it will be about the Conciergerie and The Pantheon.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: deeppink; font-family: arial; font-size: 180%; font-weight: bold;">Conciergerie</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">This was very interesting because it served as the Residence of the Kings of France, then became the Palace of Justice and Prison. During the French Revolution, many suspects were arrested because they were believed to be enemies of the Revolution... including Queen Marie Antoinette. We took a tour of the prison and tried to imagine how it was like walking through the halls during that time.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">This is the front of the building where the Conciergerie is part of. I do not know what it is used for now but I know people do work there.</span><br /><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_4563.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="font-family: arial;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_4563.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 333px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 500px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">This is called The Hall of Men-at-Arms once entering the Conciergerie.

I didn't do anything exciting though. It was nice to just relax and not have to rush everywhere. Oh and I finally bought the Cher magazine with the two eco bags!

I start in the morning again. I'm pretty happy about that. Well I met up with 2 of my best buddies from high school on Saturday. I haven't seen them in 2 years but they are still the same girls as I remember. I will try to keep in touch with them! Everyone just seems so busy these days. I guess we're all growing up. </div><div align="center">I went to my backyard the other day since the weather was SOOoo NICE! Then I saw the bike I used during my college years laying on the ground. It used to be such a cute light blue beach cruiser but look at it now! It's all rusty and dead now. I should have taken better care of it. I haven't biked in ages either...<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376366444152857922" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/Spywy7YPpUI/AAAAAAAAASI/FGRlFdOjwp8/s320/IMG_6943B.jpg" />I also tried some gadgets recently. I went to the Daiso a few weeks ago and saw this nose roller that's supposed to thin out my nose and make it appear higher. So here is the pic of it with some nail glitter that I haven't even opened yet.</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376367438066627890" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/Spyxsx_wNTI/AAAAAAAAASQ/2sWWKrkSCGQ/s320/IMG_6649.JPG" /> <p align="center">So what do I think of it? I think it's useless unless I'm using it wrong. It made my nose so red and it was a bit swollen too. I hate how my nose is but I don't think this will work for me. It was fun to try anyway.</p><p align="center">I also got the Clarisonic!! It was actually a gift so I tried it last night. It worked so well! My face was so smooth after and it felt great while I was using it. Sounds gross but I haven't exfoliated my face in ages!! I was thinking of buying a exfoliator but this works! I used it with the face wash it came with. Smelled great and didn't break my face out.</p><p align="center"></p><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376369869656840706" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/Spyz6UYCWgI/AAAAAAAAASY/dGzQSrnThDU/s320/IMG_6959.JPG" />The charger is cool too!

First of all we made the mistake of taking the bus there! This crazy guy on the bus started telling my bf to not stand next to him. "Go stand next to yo girl... I don't wanna have anything to do with you like she doesn't wanna have anything to do wit you. Go home and play your Nintendo or something." And blah blah blah. Wow what a weirdo... you know the bus was FULL. No seats anywhere. The weather was very bad too... windy and cold! I wasn't dressed for the occasion either lol.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/dividers/2-1.gif" /><br /><br />Ok so when we got there, there were lines everywhere for food. The food sold were from actual restaurants except for the creme brulee cart guy. This guy next to us summed it all up perfectly... "This isn't a food festival, it's the San Francisco line festival!" lol Well if I wanted to try these restaurants, I would probably just go to the actual restaurant and not wait in line for an hour or something. We finally saw a lady serving real street food.. you know the corn with the cheese and chili pepper? lol so we got that and left!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/SpOhTPQ1pUI/AAAAAAAAARg/1yZaoPseO1U/s1600-h/IMG_6870B.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/SpOhTPQ1pUI/AAAAAAAAARg/1yZaoPseO1U/s400/IMG_6870B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373816132269876546" border="0" /></a>I don't know who's arm this belongs to...<br /><br />We ended up going shopping in downtown and those Asian boutiques later and that was cool until I started feeling sick after eating at a place in Chinatown. Maybe I was cold? Well I just felt dizzy and bloated so we decided to go home. I felt so bad because I was sick the rest of the weekend meaning my bf wasn't able to go anywhere. We stayed home and watched HK dramas haha! I was sleeping most of the day on Sunday from the medicine. He said it was ok but I still feel bad.. At least I'm all better now. Well I really should stop shopping! Buying way too much jewelry and skirts lol. Here's a dress I bought that I really like. I hope I get a chance to wear this... not in this COLD COLD weather though!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/SpOimqPephI/AAAAAAAAARw/soIVZV_3hTk/s1600-h/IMG_6865B.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/SpOimqPephI/AAAAAAAAARw/soIVZV_3hTk/s400/IMG_6865B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373817565441074706" border="0" /></a>Fits perfectly!<br /></div>Moohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11096970105082681278noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472549351825640100.post-43551929675724604992009-08-17T00:55:00.000-07:002009-08-17T01:17:14.307-07:00New People opening and Indie-Mart<div style="text-align: center;">Hi!<br />I had such an awesome and tiring weekend! How was everyone's?<br />I went to the grand opening of New People which is a "mall" with a Baby, the Stars Shine Bright, Black Peace Now, and 6% Doki Doki in San Francisco's Japantown yesterday. VERY cute stores but SOOO expensive. I think the Lolita style looks pretty cute but I was too afraid to try it out back then. Maybe I will buy something? I saw too many cute Loli's. Oh and there is a movie theater on the bottom floor and an art gallery on the third floor.<br /><br />Cute LOLI's!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/SokN6MJAZ7I/AAAAAAAAAQw/gtWLKC_AU50/s1600-h/IMG_6847.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/SokN6MJAZ7I/AAAAAAAAAQw/gtWLKC_AU50/s320/IMG_6847.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370839323958601650" border="0" /></a>Bear Brick inside the New People store.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/SokOTql7ZHI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/of9ASSb5uyk/s1600-h/IMG_6848.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/SokOTql7ZHI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/of9ASSb5uyk/s320/IMG_6848.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370839761629701234" border="0" /></a><br />Lovely artwork from 天野 喜孝, the designer of Final Fantasy!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/SokPVayoQbI/AAAAAAAAARA/3PQhSRHp8Fs/s1600-h/IMG_6823.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/SokPVayoQbI/AAAAAAAAARA/3PQhSRHp8Fs/s400/IMG_6823.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370840891259371954" border="0" /></a><br />So I went to the Indie-Mart in San Francisco today. It's held 3 times a year and features clothing, jewelry, accessories, and other fun stuff from local designers. Everything was just so cooL! I wanted to buy so much more but did not bring enough cash! haha I think that's a good thing!<br /><br />All the clothing and goods stands!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/SokQDZ8QdaI/AAAAAAAAARI/NOmqHsxm-h4/s1600-h/IMG_6845B.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/SokQDZ8QdaI/AAAAAAAAARI/NOmqHsxm-h4/s320/IMG_6845B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370841681305302434" border="0" /></a><br />Ok so I bought a shirt made from recycled clothing. Also bought a jacket but I didn't take a pic of it.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/SokQcZ8R-JI/AAAAAAAAARQ/Q7XRKuseEwk/s1600-h/IMG_6849B.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9d88HVwx_IM/SokQcZ8R-JI/AAAAAAAAARQ/Q7XRKuseEwk/s320/IMG_6849B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370842110802131090" border="0" /></a><br />There's no such thing as too many accessories.

It's nice to get out of town once in a while right? It went by so fast though... I just wanted to update a bit here.<br /></div><br />I've been so obsessed with face masks haha!

I went Urban hiking on Saturday at the Lands End trail in San Francisco. I've never done something like that before hehe. That trail is supposed to have some amazing views of the Golden Gate Bridge but guess what? It was sooo foggy on the coast so I couldn't see shiet! I'll keep going until I finally see it! So determined to walk all the way to the GGB too. Oh and then I ate a lot the rest of the weekend. Not a very interesting weekend I know. The rest of this post is going to be a very boring...<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/dividers/2-1.gif" /><br /><br />I know everyone has their regrets but one of the things I regret the most is hurting my eye area without knowing it when I was younger. I am now 24 and already have fine lines under my eyes! I used to put concealer on like crazy when I was in college and rubbed it in... yes, I did not dab it on but RUBBED it on. I never really took care of my eyes either. I didn't start using eye cream twice a day until I was 22 lol. I only used a depuffer type of eyecream too which is quite useless since I don't have puffy eyes. I have really bad panda eyes too so I look even older with those lines. I never really had any obvious lines until I noticed them during my Hong Kong trip last winter. I think it got worst when I wore concealer on the plane which probably dried the crap out of my undereye area. Aww I'm so sad.. all I can do now is try to lessen it and make sure no new ones show up. You can say that I have started taking some desperate measures. I've been trying to drink more water, sleep early, and I have switched to a wrinkle eyecream. I've started using Kinerase since everyone seems to think it's the best thing ever. I know it's not going to totally erase my lines but I hope it helps in some way. I wanted to try La Mer but it's way out of my budget. I'll probably start using that when I'm older or something. I also bought the Shiseido Benefiance Retinol eye masks which seem to be helping a bit. Ok I'll know in a few months or something... I really need to start living a healthier lifestyle. I am trying to sleep a full 8-9 hours.. that's why I'm never online anymore lol! Anymore suggestions would help... I'm in so much need of it.<br /><br />Thanks for reading. Well I'll leave a picture too.<br />This is a pic I took at Legoland California where San Francisco was built entirely of legos. Very cool!^^<br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/?action=view&current=IMG_0887.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 370px; height: 241px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_0887.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div>Moohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11096970105082681278noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472549351825640100.post-35422625733599232372009-07-15T21:52:00.000-07:002009-07-16T01:53:33.282-07:00NYC Part 2: FOOOOOOD!^^<div style="text-align: center;">Ahhhhh I want the weekend to come already! Well I discovered something new called PIGG by Ameba. If you have an Ameba account, you can get a PIGG! It's very addictive... I want to keep doing those scratchy card stuff to get new items lol. It's kind of like a more active baby version of Poupee Girl. It's hard for me to communicate with people on there since I don't speak Japanese... but some PIGGs will chat with me lol. I know it sounds strange but the whole cute concept of it makes me want to keep playing!<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/dividers/2-1.gif" /><br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><br />Well I wanted to post some food stuff from NYC but I didn't take pics of everything I ate. I would be so hungry sometimes that I would just eat it and then forget about taking pics. There's a good example here... I think it's the yakitori. You'll see what I mean. Oh and my pics from now on are going to be clickable. Yea I know my previous ones weren't. I think I might change them sometime in the future when I have time.<br /><br />First place we ate at was the SHAKE SHACK! There was a crazy line because the Pride Parade was going on. This was so good! Two beef patties plus a fried mushroom patty and lotsa cheesE! We ate here twice. The other time was for an after dinner snack. Yes we are pigs.<br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/?action=view&current=IMG_6050.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 302px; height: 226px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_6050.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Pizza of course from Lombardi's! They pride themselves for being the first licensed pizza restaurant in all of America. We ate so much pizza in NYC but the others were more like non sitdown pizza places lol. I never knew pizza could be this good. Yum yum.<br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/?action=view&current=IMG_6178.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 303px; height: 226px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_6178.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Ramen from Ippudo! It was a long wait and kind of on the pricey side but it was so tasty!! This was with pork bone base I think. It sure tasted like it. I love ramen so much!<br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/?action=view&current=IMG_6258-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 303px; height: 226px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_6258-1.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We went to Katz Deli! We got a pastrami sandwich and a corned beef sandwich! This one pictured is the corned beef one. They put so much meat in and I love how they carve the meat in front of you. I know we went to a lot of the touristy restaurants haha.<br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/?action=view&current=IMG_6252.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 305px; height: 226px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_6252.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We ate yakitori at Yakitori Taisho! It was so cool because the restaurant looks so classic. Them bbqing it in front of you. We got all sorts of strange stuff... like chicken kidney, heart, skin, and beef tongue! haha I know it sounds weird but it was very good. The chicken kidney was the best one! I already started eating before taking the pic which explains the empty areas.<br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/?action=view&current=IMG_6158.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 305px; height: 229px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_6158.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Creamy salmon yakisoba from the same yakitori place. I ordered the wrong thing... I just wanted the regular Japanese yakisoba. It was still good though!!<br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/?action=view&current=IMG_6157.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 303px; height: 227px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_6157.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Congee from Congee Village. They served their congee in clay pots so it was still bubbling when it got to our table. Can you see the bubbles? This one was the beef congee. We also ordered an abalone chicken congee. Very inexpensive... one claypot is around 3 bowls and we payed less than $10 with the fried bread for two people.<br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/?action=view&current=IMG_6104.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 301px; height: 225px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_6104.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /><br /></a><br />Steamed soup pork dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) from Joe's Shanghai! They don't break when you pick it up and they're huge! I've never seen such huge XLBs before! Yummy.<br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/?action=view&current=IMG_6169.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 307px; height: 229px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_6169.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Grilled corn from Cafe Habana. Sorry for the bad pic... the lighting was bad. I know we have this in LA too but still these were GREAT! We had our main dishes there which was steak and pork. Both were great too. I just have bad pics of them so I won't bother posting.<br /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/?action=view&current=IMG_6310.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 311px; height: 231px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_6310.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />There were so many gelato places.

It's nice because I haven't spent much time with them lately and it's great to just stay home after a long week of work!<br /><br />I have more updates from NYC! This is just the sightseeing part so there will be no food included hehe. I have so many pictures so it was hard for me to pick out which ones to post on here. I didn't take pictures of every place we went to like Soho! We were too busy shopping haha!<br /><br />View of part of Times Square from the M &M store.<br /><img style="width: 394px; height: 262px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_1576B.jpg" /><br /><br />M&M store and Hershey's store in the background! I wish the Las Vegas one was this cool.<br /><img style="width: 394px; height: 262px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_1553.jpg" /><br /><br />Big yellow M&M and I<br /><img style="width: 394px; height: 262px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_1578B.jpg" /><br /><br />Times square at night!!<br /><img style="width: 394px; height: 262px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_1648B.jpg" /><br /><br />The bf and I at the Rockefellar Center! There were too many people.<br /><img style="width: 383px; height: 277px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_6087B.jpg" /><br /><br />The famous LOVE! It's very huge!<br /><img style="width: 394px; height: 262px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_1621.jpg" /><br /><br />At NBC! Can you tell the peacock's feathers are composed of candy? I'm not sure if they're M&M's or skittles tough. We took the Studio Tour but picture taking was not allowed.<br /><img style="width: 392px; height: 279px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_6290B.jpg" /><br /><br /><br />Leaving Manhattan to go see the Statue of Liberty on the free Staten Island ferry.<br /><img style="width: 394px; height: 262px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_6120B.jpg" /><br /><br />Yay Statue of Liberty!<br /><img style="width: 388px; height: 291px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_6133B.jpg" /><br /><br />Outside the UN (United Nations). I thought this peace gun was cool.<br /><img style="width: 391px; height: 269px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_1863B.jpg" /><br /><br />Inside the UN! I felt so overwhelmed during the tour. We saw what the UN soldiers were trying to do for the world today. Exhibits such as remains from the atomic bomb in Japan showed why war is terrible!<br /><img style="width: 394px; height: 262px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_6220B.jpg" /><br /><br />We went to the Apollo theater tribute to Michael Jackson. There were many fans from everywhere in the world.<br /><img style="width: 333px; height: 501px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_1998B.jpg" /><br /><br />Some special gifts that the fans left. The figure of Michael Jackson in the pic was completely made out of flowers.<br /><img style="width: 334px; height: 498px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_2003B.jpg" /><br /><br />I know it's a lot of pictures for one post but there was just so much to do in New York! It was so fun.. I want to go again. My seems like more of a photo blog now but I'm fine with that though. Back to watching that Taiwanese singing show!<br /></div>Moohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11096970105082681278noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472549351825640100.post-4804586681521524382009-07-08T11:01:00.000-07:002009-07-08T22:16:02.967-07:00DC trip!<div style="text-align: center;">I've been having such a hard time after coming back from vacation. I've been busy at work since I am behind! I hope to catch up soon! I miss NYC sooo much! I should have stayed longer lol. Well I plan to go back soon! We needed to go to DC so that cut down our NYC trip. I decided to blog about DC first even though we went there last.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/dividers/15-1.gif" /><br /><br />Our cute $1 double decker megabus to DC from NYC! I wish we had this on the West Coast.<br /><img style="width: 379px; height: 284px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_6318.jpg" /><br /><br />I gotta say... we did A LOT of walking in DC. I knew we were going to be walking a lot but I didn't know everything was so far away. Good thing I brought tennis shoes hehe!<br /><br />The Washington Monument+me! It's so big in real life! lol<br /><img style="width: 295px; height: 440px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_2101B.jpg" /><br /><br />The White House! We could only see it from far away though. We didn't do those tours.<br /><img style="width: 379px; height: 284px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_2138B.jpg" /><br /><br />The Lincoln Memorial was so far away from everything. I was so happy when we finally reached it!<br /><img style="width: 295px; height: 440px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_6454.jpg" /><br /><br />That concluded our first day there. We also went to the Arlington Cemetery and the Pentagon but didn't get any good pictures. We were then yelled at by security many times because we were taking pictures at the Pentagon and accidentally walking in restricted areas lol. Well we ended up eating at Hank's Oyster Bar after a long day of sight-seeing. The oysters were so yummy but so expensive!<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/dividers/15-1.gif" /><br /><br />We went to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum the next day. That took us the whole day already. I felt like I didn't have time to read anything in the museum.<br /><img style="width: 295px; height: 440px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_2265B.jpg" /><br /><br />Me+Apollo 11. We got to look inside it too! So cool!<br /><img style="width: 379px; height: 284px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_2300B.jpg" /><br /><br />There were so many planes from the past and now hanging from the ceiling! Very cool museum. I'm so glad we went!<br /><img style="width: 379px; height: 284px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_2365B.jpg" /><br /><br />We went to get a spot for the fireworks on the National Mall. There were so many people!! There was also a concert in front of the capitol but it was too difficult to get a spot. I think some people camped out for the whole day or something.<br /><img style="width: 379px; height: 284px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_2624B.jpg" /><br /><br />The fireworks were so pretty! It was a long show too!<br /><img style="width: 379px; height: 284px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_2671B.jpg" /><br /><br />We went to eat after because we knew there would be a lot of people at the metro stations. There were still so many people after eating. Even though there were crowds, spending the 4th of July in DC was awesome and a great experience!<br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Moohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11096970105082681278noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472549351825640100.post-62992958783697022292009-07-07T01:25:00.000-07:002009-07-08T22:14:45.939-07:00Back in the Bay<div style="text-align: center;">Hello!<br /><br />I am finally blogging again. It's not going to be a very long post today though. I just got back last night and am still exhausted. I'm so tired today and I find it funny because I was supposed to be on vacation. There was just too much walking in NYC and DC. It's cool though because I had so much fun! We went to so many places and I felt like I got a lot done. I can't believe it's over... it went by so fast! Well I'll be blogging about the trip starting with DC even though we went there last lol. Maybe starting tomorrow? Anyways, here's a pic from the fireworks show in DC! We were sitting at a pretty good spot! It's an upside down heart!<br /><br /><img style="width: 379px; height: 284px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_2687.jpg" /><br />Hope everyone had an awesome fourth of July weekend!<br /><br />Goodnight, need some much needed sleep.<br /><br /></div>Moohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11096970105082681278noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472549351825640100.post-49452687805790075882009-06-25T00:35:00.000-07:002009-06-25T01:20:30.555-07:00Skincare stuff<div style="text-align: center;">I'm so glad this week is moving by fast! I'll be going to NYC on Saturday then to DC! I went to NYC 4 years ago but I've never been to DC before. Well I'm starting to pack already just to make sure I don't forget anything important. I hate it when that happens!<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/tearing.gif" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/dividers/2-1.gif" /><br /><br />I just wanted to blog before leaving... I know I won't have time on the trip. I've been drinking a lot of milk lately. I never liked the taste of milk before but I'm starting to have a thirst for milk lol! My face has actually gotten a lot smoother since starting! Some people have actually broken out from drinking milk so it may be bad for your skin in that way! I guess I'm one of those people who didn't get acne from milk. Here is my fave kind of milk! I would get 2% but my dad likes 1% so whatever lol. I love the cute cow on it too!<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/smily.gif" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 266px; height: 356px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_5943.jpg" /><br /><br />I've been using a skincare line called Boscia for 3 years now and I'm not planning on trying anything new anytime soon. It's a line from the Japanese brand Fancl. It's really hard to get actual Fancl stuff in stores in the U.S. so I tried Boscia. Everything is preservative-free and their products contain botanicals. It works well with my dry skin. I heard they are also good for those with combination skin. I love their cleanser, Soothing Cleansing Cream because you apply it like a lotion then wash it off with water. My skin doesn't feel like the moisture on my face got stripped away. Their Makeup Breakup makeup remover is awesome too! You use it the same way as the cleanser! Those two products are my fave from the line. I highly recommend the moisturizers too. Make sure to use it up within 6 months after the open date. It's not hard to do since the bottles don't come with that much product. I don't think I could go anywhere without the products in the picture except the eye cream. I would try something cheaper since I haven't noticed any changes in my undereye area while using this.<br /><br /><img style="width: 260px; height: 382px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/cropped.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/strawberry.gif" />Products in the picture:<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/strawberry.gif" /><br />Soothing Cleansing Cream<br />Enliving Amino-AG Eye Treatment<br />Balancing Facial Tonic<br />Makeup-BreakUp Cool Cleansing Oil<br />Vital Daily Moisture SPF15<br />Recharging Night Moisture<br /><br /><img style="width: 230px; height: 306px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/DSC04856.jpg" /><br /><br />Here's a pic of my skin at the moment. I don't have BB cream on or anything. I didn't want to use my whole makeup-less face in the pic lol. I'll probably scare some people.<br /><br />Ok time to sleep! Thanks for reading!<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/cherry.gif" /><br /><br /><br /></div>Moohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11096970105082681278noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472549351825640100.post-13559889332481384782009-06-22T00:52:00.000-07:002009-07-08T22:16:47.481-07:00Shu Uemura Makeup<div style="text-align: center;">I finally fixed my stupid comment box! lol I was wondering why I was missing that comment box but I realized that I didn't do something specific... so that's why it wouldn't show up. The only way it'll work is if I use the full page comment way instead. Kind of lame but whatever. At least all is well now!<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/dividers/hime.gif" /><br /><br />It was Father's Day and had dinner with the entire family. It was alright... with cake and stuff. I went out with Di since she hasn't seen me for a while. We went to get a drink. We ended up going to Costco and Target though. I know... so random. At least I got my Swiffer! I don't know why I can't ever find it at Costco anymore. Are they just not carrying it anymore?<br /><br />For my dad, grandpa, and uncle! Very yummy cake! Not too sweet and fresh strawberries!<br /><img style="width: 379px; height: 284px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_5936.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/dividers/hime.gif" /><br /><br />I also received my Shu Uemura make up I ordered earlier last week! I love this brand so so much! I have only tried the eyelash curler, eyeshadow and the blush though. The colors are so vibrant and a little bit goes a long way. It's a bit pricey, but it will last me for a long time. I'm still not half way done with a lot of my old eyeshadows from this brand yet. Then again, I don't wear makeup to work everyday. I wish I could but my coworkers would totally think it's weird.<br /><br />Each eyeshadow and blush comes in this kind of package. It's a bit flimsy but I think it looks nice and simple. There is also a reason why the packaging is like this.<br /><img style="width: 362px; height: 271px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_5852B.jpg" /><br /><br />There is a hole in the back and you can punch out the blush and eyeshadows, and you can make your own palette! You do have to buy the compact though. I got the palette for free since there is a promotion going on. Check it out at <a href="http://www.shuuemura-usa.com/">http://www.shuuemura-usa.com</a>! It costs around $15 so it's a good deal. Here are the colors that I picked.<br /><img style="width: 377px; height: 283px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_5855B.jpg" /><br />It's a dark green eyeshadow, a pink eyeshadow, and an apricot blush. This was my first time wearing this shade of blush. It actually looks cute on my skintone. I only need to dab a bit of it on.<br /><br />The limited edition compact<br /><img style="width: 370px; height: 278px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_5854B.jpg" /><br /><br />Ok time to try to sleep. Yea another week is about to start! I can't wait until this week ends.<br /></div>Moohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11096970105082681278noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472549351825640100.post-37326034427543505702009-06-19T22:48:00.000-07:002009-06-20T01:13:50.713-07:00CHOUCHOU!<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:arial;">It's finally Friday!! I always look forward to the weekend because I can rest! I just wanted to write about a restaurant in San Francisco I went to last weekend called ChouChou. It's a restaurant that serves affordable French food. I say affordable because it's possible to have a good full dinner for $30! The owner is so nice and the staff are very sweet also. I loved the atmosphere since they bring most of the couples upstairs with a more intimate feel. You can see everyone downstairs since it's basically like a balcony up there. Well on to the food... everything was so delicious and flavorful! I will come back and try other items on their menu. Here are some pics of the place and the food.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The inside was very blue too hehe.</span><br /><img style="width: 350px; height: 264px; font-family: arial;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_5818.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">escargot! they don't give it to you in the shell. the thing in the middle is actually a bone lol. They put some of the escargot in there. Very tasty but it could get salty!</span><br /><img style="width: 354px; height: 265px; font-family: arial;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_5824.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Warm Goat Cheese Tart! This was SOOO good!</span><br /><img style="width: 345px; height: 259px; font-family: arial;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_5825.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Kobe steak!

It came with fries and the sauce is like a chowder! I drank most of it haha. So good but the fries were soggy.</span><br /><img style="width: 344px; height: 259px; font-family: arial;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_5831.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Mandarin orange chocolate tart. Good and not too sweet. Too bad they ran out of the fruit tarts because we really wanted to try that!</span><br /><img style="width: 252px; height: 336px; font-family: arial;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/IMG_5834.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I'm actually really hungry right now.

I really don't have much to blog about but I just wanted to write an entry. I went to Safeway before work to buy some Pringels and Kettle chips since I've been craving chips everday! I really should stop it because it's just going to give me pimples.</span><img style="font-family: arial;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/tearing.gif" /><span style="font-family:arial;"> Anyways, my coworkers and I are doing a NBA finals pool to bet on who would win in which game and we each put in $5. Now who did I pick? I picked the Orlando magic and they would win it the 7th game. Today was the first game but it was really tough for me to listen to the game on the radio because Orlando lost soooo badly! It was just a horrible start. Oh well, maybe they'll do better later HAH!</span><br /><br /><br /><img style="font-family: arial;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/dividers/2-1.gif" /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" >I really want a dog at the moment but I'm still living at home with my parents so it's probably not going to happen unless I move out! At least I'm surrounded by cute doggies at work hehe.</span><img style="font-family: arial;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/003.gif" /><span style="font-family: arial;"> This cute puppy posted below is Brady and he's a dog at work! He's a little shaggier now though since his hair grew out! He knows he's cute and he loves belly rubs!</span><br /><img style="width: 376px; height: 282px; font-family: arial;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/DSC04444.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 376px; height: 282px; font-family: arial;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/DSC04442.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I also want to post a pic of a dog I saw at the airport in LA. He's the first dog I've seen fly on the plane. He's such a good boy too... he didn't bark and just slept for the most part. His owner said that he's already 9 years old. I wanted to sit next to him on the plane but this other girl took the seat before I could! grrz~!</span><br /><br /><img style="width: 376px; height: 282px; font-family: arial;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/DSC04752.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">These pics are crappy because I took them with my cell. Ok that was all I wanted to blog about for today.</span><img style="font-family: arial;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/moopower/202.gif" /><br /></div>Moohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11096970105082681278noreply@blogger.com0
