Birthday Celebration

Felisa and I celebrated our birthdays together earlier this month.

Check out our shoes. Payless!

I'm wearing the Red Rivington by Alice + Olivia. Felisa thought they were funky looking, but I guess that's why I like them.

sister & the designated DJ & driver.
high school friends.

the boy, who barfed up a storm the next morning.

too much fun.

Weekend O' Niece(s)

last weekend was my sister's baby shower, which i hosted (but my sister still helped a lot). i actually enjoy organizing and planning parties and stuff. the fun part was trying to find unique and creative things for the shower, such as the favors, the games, and the prizes. i wanted the cake to stand out at the shower so i didn't want to go to safeway and pick up the average sheet cake. i did some research and found positive reviews for this lady name Carolyn Wong. she made my idea come to life.

my 2nd niece will be named Kira...as you can see. The cookies were complimentary too. it matched the favors. everyone loved the cake and was amazed. i was happy!

the cake flavors were passion fruit mousse & carrot cake. my sister didn't want to cut the cake, but of course she eventually did.

me and my dress. i liked the dress, but it didn't look so flattering in pictures. i gotta lose some lbs...asap.

the following day, Ty had a dance recital @ the Alameda Co. Fair. she performed during the day, and we stayed afterwards 'cause boyz 2 men were performing there that night. ty got a bracelet for unlimited rides so we spent several hours watching her ride rides. luckily it wasn't too hot that day. we then waited about 2 hours standing in line to get in to the amphitheatre for the concert, and at least 150+ people were in front of us already. once we got in though and boyz 2 men came on stage, i went crazy. ty thought i was crazy. zach gave me the crazy eye. gam and ron enjoyed the show too, but in a more mellow state. our seats were great...5 rows from the stage. yes, that's me singing in the background in the video....eek.

ty and i tried to get a rose from Nate, but failed. she was bummed. but lookie how close we were....

ty had another recital yesterday in berkeley. i swear that girl is busier than me. sad huh? she's such a natural dancer that it's ridiculous. i don't think i will ever get tired watching any of her recitals.
next weekend is her 9th birthday. 9!?! i'm gonna cry. i guess my niece weekend will go on into the 3rd week.
