the month of December • part2
- My love Victor surprise-bought me the bows I've been putting off to get ever since I got a job/paychecks for Christmas! I freaking super love her so much~♥♥♥ She got me my beloved maroon and a real light blue-ish green (I put my emerald green bow in there just for kicks lol). The picture totally messed up the colors tho; both the maroon/green are much darker in reality & the gray looking one is a light blue-green. & there's Shu using it as a bow-tie hehehe~
- Teal ornaments bcos our house was "teal-themed" this year!
- Our Christmas Tree♥ The right side of the tree looks retarded bcos it's missing a whole chunk of leaves (pine? fir?) there haha. We got a star this year tho!!!
- Week before Christmas (Dec 18th?), the group (our beach day, remember?!) had a Christmas party at Bryan's house. Hella food (hella chicken wings!), more girls than usual♥, most of the guys, karaoke, white elephant, and just a really good time with great people♥
Here's Andrew setting up his own nail salon in the living room... took him 30mins to do one hand LOL.
I wished I took more pictures than just this one :( Especially white elephant, it was so hilarious & fun. Lots of stealing too! And someone actually bought/got a sex positions book w/ a condom LOLOL.
- My white elephant gift (not Tabi, the Warriors beanie! lol) ♥
- First time I've seen him stick his head out the window like a normal dog haha. Usually they're just chillin' in the back seat sitting/laying down. But this day, right when I turned into my neighborhood, this fat boy jumps to the front seat and let the wind blow on his beard lol. Dummy only does it when he sees we're in the neighborhood; anywhere else, he's in the back haha.
- Ramen w/ the bro! (We actually ate out today too... I'm telling you. Too much time with this dude haha). We went shopping before this to get a present for my mom at Gmall. (I think a couple days earlier we went to VFair to go shopping too o.o... no pics tho - why didn't I....?!) This is at MaruIchi btw! Orenchi was too far/not opened yet so I couldn't show Brian the Orenchi goodness :( + I had to get home before 7 to get ready for.......
- DASH BERLIN!!!!! Probably the DJ I love most (bcos I don't listen to trance/house/edm much haha) - but just sayin' I love dancing to it hehe ☺
- My outfit - BLACKONBLACKONBLACKONBLACK - literally (besides my red purse lol)
- And the company I spent it there with♥ Long and tiring but fun & awesome night! Got home at 5:30AM o.o Drive around SF/back to SJ consisted of Trung and "Just for the record: I'm still rolling" LOL.
Dunno if I'll do this again esp. since school is starting next week (T-T) but if there's something during Spring Break/Summer.. I'll consider it HAHA. Freaking Luan tho, had a Final at 10AM the next/same day! He's insane.
- Mom had to do late Christmas shopping for the kids, like always~ so I tagged along to help. Went to Tofu House for some short ribs + tofu soup, my love~ Expensive tho! And all these other Korean places that serve tofu soup all have the same small portion! They need to learn from Korean Fusion!!!!!!
- Really bad picture! But this house, every year, is always COVERED with Christmas lights and I LOVE IT! So funny tho, this is my cousin's bf's house, awesome!
- Deformed chicken tender from Jack-in-the-Box LOL.
- CHRISTMAS EVE PARTY~~~ At my house ☺ Wasn't really expecting a lot of family to show up but to my surpise, almost everyone was here!♥ (Was missing my pal Victor tho! She was spending xmas in Rocklin)
Here's Tabi + Sugi following me around bcos they get scared with too much ppl around haha.
- Zee presents under the tree~ and on the couch haha.
- White elephant gifts!
- Scored on being 2nd to last and got me $50 + 2 movie tickets!!! Ppl wanted to steal, but couldn't bcos my cousin who was #1 didn't continue the game muhahahahahaha~ (there was a Beaver CD, but you know, it's $50....... ☺)
- Mom bought Just Dance 3? and my cousins be playing this 4dayz~ lol. Hilarious seeing everyone dance tho! (We always use the Kinect at every party haha).
- More not-from-my-lame-camera-pictures! Here's Cyndi and I. We matched unintentionally! Maroon shirt/belt/black leggings LOL.
- "Let's get a picture with a baby!" I grab Tabi♥ Haha.
- Zee cousins♥♥♥ (most of the them!)
- Then my mom, Leonard, and Grandma decided to come in too haha.
- Brian & I with our babies ☺♥ I seriously need to invest in a camera... or an IPhone 4S.....
Everyone left around 1130-12AM so I ended my night by spending time with my friends, eating at Denny's - First meal/Breakfast on Christmas Day, yay~ haha. It was like a triple date - Jon/Stephanie, Alvin/Joanne, then there's Luan + me LOL.
- At Denny's, Luan and I decided to wake up early to watch basketball at his house since it was finally coming back!!! We told each other 11AM SHARP... He woke up at 9 to watch the first game. I woke up at 1030. "5 more mins" Fell asleep. Woke up to his text at 1130. Came to his house at 1215. Then we both took a nap during the game anyway. LOL.
We woke up at the start of the Lakers game, watched til halftime, then decided to get some Jack-in-the-Box, came back and ate. I left to go home for some things. But then I got lazy to go back to Luan's for the Warriors game, so I stayed home and watched it instead. Yup. My Christmas day everyone, pretty great I'd say haha.
- Day after Christmas: Mom and I went to SF to go shopping, of course~ wasn't that many deals and I was super tired anyway so I barely did any shopping. My mom bought me a LV wallet tho!!!!! She's freaking crazy. Actually, she couldn't return a bag she bought the day I saw the Union Square Tree, so she had to exchange it for other stuff. She got herself another bag and the wallet. I seriously don't even think I'm ever using the wallet tho. It's too pretty! It's too expensive! I might scratch it T-T & It's not even a long wallet.... I like my money straight lol. The box is cute tho, no? and look at all that Victoria Secret perfume/lotion/body mist! Tease is my fav rn~
- NYE: Work in the morning, got out early since it was super slow, Luan texted me asking if I wanted to go eat, went to his house, and decided on Boiling Crab obviously! Hehe! ☺ We made it A MUST to hang out on holidays with each other now, birthdays included (duh) haha.
Grubbed and had a fat food coma. Went over to Rocky's to chill and took a nap on his bed haha. Then over to Luan's and chilled some more. They started reminiscing with old pictures (new years eve, duh haha) and found some "no-homo" pictures lolol. Went to Pizza Hut to get pasta and found out Luan left his credit card back at BC LOL. Thank gosh they kept it safe for him. Then we finally went to Bobby's for the get-together/party.
- Ringing in the New Year; my first half-shot ever (& only half-shot of the night!) lolololol. There's Chinh in the back of us haha. Had a good time chillin' with everyone since I haven't seen most of them since high school!!! Happy New Year (again!) ☺
- Hey I actually wrote a lot this time... whoops~ Well, that's Dec/New Years! ^___________________^ Will blog before school starts!
*Just a little sidenote/blurb: After I finished posting yesterday, I wanted to change my layout since it's been forever since I had this layout. So I looked for some and actually changed the layout a couple times and they looked beautiful! But whenever I clicked to see my posts/pictures... they turn freaking huge!!! It was too ugly so I had to change back to this layout lol. So weird how this is the only layout that shrinks my pics... why can't other layouts do that?! (Maybe they do.. I'm just too lazy to edit/change the css haha). You can tell from looking at this one again, it looks a little different, no? I forgot how to fix css sho sad~ + I've noticed lj pretty much is dead. Looking at the journals that make/made layouts... their latest posts are like a year old or more lol.
