When my Forever BFF, Tammy, and I were discussing possible destinations for our girls trip last year, she suggested New Orleans, LA. Although, I had visited the city several times over the years, Tammy had never been there. She had only heard good stories about it from her late friend, Carlos. (more…)
Oh my goodness! Where to begin? I apologize for my extended absence from the blog, but life got busy. I’ve been traveling too. I took my niece, Kristin, on our annual girl’s trip to Hersheypark in Hershey, PA. We had a great time and I will write more about this in a future blog post. (more…)
When The Vampire Diaries (TVD) Convention came to Washington, DC in 2016, my good friend, Martina, suggested we attend this event so we could finally meet in person. We had been virtual friends since 2008 when our favorite boyband, The New Kids on the Block, reunited. We were also big fans of the show and Martina, at that time, frequented many TVD conventions.

These shots were taken the same day as my torturedSoles shoot. We finished taking pictures early for that fabulous collaboration and decided to take advantage of the beautiful Fall weather by fitting in another heel/outfit combo. I chose the BCBGeneration Elle booties because they are so perfect for Fall! The burgundy hue is on trend and the peep toes make it a great transition bootie for cooler weather. (more…)
Two Fridays ago, my beloved Sony VAIO laptop died. With no laptop, this post remained in limbo. I spent all last week researching new laptops and so much has changed in the last 10 years! Being a creature of habit, change doesn’t always come easy to me. Sigh… (more…)
I am a practicing Roman Catholic. So, imagine my curiosity and interest when my good friend from work, Anna, invited me and my dad to her son, David’s, Bar Mitvah at the Magen David Sephardic Congregation located in Rockville, Maryland. (more…)
I am excited to share the blog pics for this week because they were taken in San Diego, CA! My BFF, Tammy, volunteered to be my photographer. We had discussed locations for the shoot and initially we had planned to take shots in the desert, but we got sidetracked by a drag show. (more…)
In all my San Diego excitement, I forgot to mention where the pics for this week’s blog were taken: The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC. The National Shrine is across the street from Catholic University and the Franciscan Monastery where my blog pics from the last three weeks were taken.
Before my San Diego trip in August, the last time I saw my best friend, Tammy, whom I’ve often talked about on this blog, was over ten years ago! It’s hard for me to fathom the time that has passed. Yet, it felt like no time had passed when we were reunited at my hotel. Finally, face to face with my BFF and she looked as beautiful as when I last saw her. We always joke it is the Asian gene that keeps us young (yes, we are both halfies!). We hugged and began catching up while giggling like we used to when we were teenagers. (more…)
Are you like me when it comes to shopping? Sometimes, I buy too much! Then, I lose track of the clothes I have bought only to discover them later with tags still on them. My initial thought in these eureka moments? “OMGOSH, I forgot I had these!” Or, which is typical too, “What was I thinking?!”
