Today is my Bro's Birthday....Shout out to Benedict! Hope you are staying fresh in the eastern humidity. Interestingly, my mom offered a mass for my brother in honor of his Birthday. It was a Spanish mass though. I actually was doing well in the first half and understood what was going on. Until the middle portion where I really start to stray away and wonder in thought. I will talk about that next. But we also went out to eat afterwards and had noodles because that is how birthdays are celebrated in my family.

Now back to the attention at church. It was such a long service. I ofter wonder why I go to church. It is because of my mom really. And it was really hot in my house. I should really go more consistently. But I don't pay attention, so I think what is the use. To sit there and not pay attention. Once again, I am conflicted. But this week, I am going to try and call this priest man. Not necessarily for that reason though. Other marital matters.

It's my bed time. I really should get ready for bed. But I wanted to blog a bit and post a picture. I know two blogs in one huh. WOW huh.

Shaved snow is the new shaved ice. It is so much better and smoother. I love it. This particular place is so close to my house. It is pretty good and these toppings are well thought out and balanced. I like the little scoops of green tea ice cream. The red bean is good and I can actually eat the mochi on this one. The boba are also a nice compliment with the matcha. It's been a while since I had 302. I'll stick with this place, it's much closer to my house and great for sharing.
It has been a long time since I've visited the Getty Center. My cousin-in-law from Bethesda, Maryland was visiting. He wanted to check out the architecture of the place. I love the views you get from you, it's literally like a 360 view of the surrounding areas. I enjoy coming here. A place to walk around and check out the art. And a lovely garden. The picture to the left is absolutely hilarious. It's comically and a sigh of hilariousness and being carefree. I love it!

Later on, we went to the Kodak Theatre to watch the Iris Cirque du Soleil. Before that, I just had to fill my cupcake craving. And what better place than at Crumbs Bake Shop. I swear these cupcakes got bigger. I love it! It was really moist and the frosting was good. I love the vanilla sprinkles and the crumb frosting. Check out all the other choices to choose from.

Iris just opened this week and I really enjoyed the show. It captivated my attention through the show. I believe the premise is to show the art of cinema. My favorite are the art acrobats. They were funny and really entertaining. The Noir portion looked flawless too making it look so easy to jump of a trampoline. Overall, I was entertained so I would recommend this. It is 2ND to KA still in my opinion.

Gosh! It has been really so long since I posted. I don't really know where to begin. I suppose I am feeling overwhelmed these days too. There is a plethora of information out there. Too much to keep up with.

Anyways, why am I blogging today. I guess to release some of the mum-bo-jumbo that is rumbling around my brain. I love listening to Pandora. It is one of the greatest inventions out there. Of couse, I would prefer it commercial free, but we can't have everything we want, right? or Can we?

Among the many media oriented database, Google+ has been creating a buzz, of late. It is overwhelming to keep up with all this. I pretty much deleted all the rest of my other ones and decided to stick to just one. Now with this new hype...it might be too much to keep up with. We shall see, it looks more interactive.

These days I've just been working. Definitely spending too much in traffic though. LA is very unforgiving in that aspect. I spend half of my time in LA and the other half in the OC. I like being based in LA because it is closer to work, but I like living in the OC.

I put a bid down on a house a while back ago. It is taking so long; I think I am going to withdraw my ofter, but I also might just look at house with another agent. That is the problem with redfin. Once you have an offer down, it is not as easy to tour houses. Anyways, I talked to my agent today and it highly unlikely that we are going to get the place.

Last week, I was sick. I apparently had walking pneumonia. That is definitely not a good thing for me because that means I am more susceptible of getting it again especially in my line of work. It's funny, I always used the HVE to try and prevent getting pneumonia, but I guess it couldn't be helped. I haven't been sick for so long, in my 3 years of working as an RDH. I guess it was bound to happen. It wasn't funny coughing my lungs off last week. I am glad to be a lot better now and being back at work. It is no fun being sick at home. I tried to sleep and was just tired. Tomorrow, back to my gym routine. Still coughing some, but definitely a lot more functional.
