Autumn 🍁 Vibes

Autumn 🍁 2024! Finally, it’s Fall Season y’all! Autumn actually started late last month but summer decided to have its last hurrah. October kickoff with a little over a week-long heatwave in California’s SF Bay Area. The excruciating heat not only irritated many of us, but it brought on countless nosebleeds and my insomnia was even worse. Am I the only one to think that California weather is…

Wishing Her a Happy Birthday!

Sofy and I at Ko Olina Resort in Kapolei, HI Happy 14th Birthday to my most favorite and the most important person in my life! I honoestly can’t believe I have a teenager now, and a freshman in high school. She’s growing up way to fast that I wish time has a pause button I could press. Currently, Sofy is into volleyball, animes and mangas, video games, and several DIY stuff. She is also…

El Barbas Mar Y Tierra Nachos

Mar y Tierra Nachos A newly opened bar and restaurant in Vallejo CA, El Barbas offers Hispanic cuisine with a twist. Featured here is an appetizer – Steak and Shrimp Nachos with a mountain of toppings. I honestly didn’t think that the serving will be this huge, given it’s an appetizer. I thought it would be a smaller plate but overpriced. The nachos were pretty good. With how many toppings it…

Almost 20 Years: VHS, Class of 2005

So, it’ll be our class’ 20th Graduation Anniversary next year. Time flies so quickly I didn’t realize how old we’re getting 🤦‍♀️.

Almost Typical

Was today typical? For a Monday, my day is almost typical.  Woke up a bit late but not as productive as I would like. And yes, I am trying to find ways to be more productive than usual. Anyway, back to the topic… Part of my day I spent in bed watching TV and being on social media and coloring games. The rest I spent serving my family. From dishes to cooking and whatever they told me to do.…

Simple, Comfy, & Chic

If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be? When it comes to my style, I have never looked for the most fashionable, revealing, and expensive brands or products.  Instead, I look for simplicity, comfort, and screams “ME.” These are far more important to me when it omes to styling myself.  The comfort of my style since I’ll be the one wearing it to wear it, not to…

Cracked Bones For Life?

Have you ever broken a bone? From crutches to braces and so on. One morning a few years ago, I was walking home from dropping off my daughter to school. Just two blocks away from our house, a driver turning left at full speed unfortunately only saw the green light in front of him. Out of the crosswalk I flew, over thirty feet as what the responding cops and paramedics said. I initially didn’t…

A Mother's Day Mug

Custom-made Mug from my Momzy. Another one added to my collection of mugs and tumblers. My aunt/Momzy/surrogate mother got this custom-made mug for me for Mother’s Day this year.  It’s so beautiful and even more special because of the design and who it’s from.  She’s that aunt who plays the role of a mom and is perfect for it in each and every way. I love my Momzy so much!
