P365: Storm Stopper [068]

C-Units and Super Friends spent a rare day together at Nickel City arcade! We had lots of fun playing classic arcade games and won approximately 3000 tickets! Yay us! :D

P365: Congrats Jordan & Maria! [067]

Celebrated the engagement of Jordan and Maria with some excellent Mexican food and drinks! :D

P365: Lola's House [061]

Spent the weekend at my Lola’s* house.  The last time I was there was before I went to NYC. It was great to be back and to spend time with family…

*Lola = grandmother in Tagalog

P365: Kitty! [060]

Found a kitten in front of my cousins’ house. We cleaned it up a bit and fed it.  Hope it’s doing alright.

P365: Lil' BK [059]

C-Unit #16 has the cutest smile! Loved playing with her this weekend. Yay! ;D

P365: Hello Baby D! [058]

Welcome home to my new cousin, Darnell Jayden! :)

P365: Baby Shower [053]

Cupcakes are all the rage nowadays! Who needs cake when you can miniaturize it into cupcake form?! haha

For my aunt’s baby shower, I baked about four dozen cupcakes and topped them with my sister’s homemade icing and blue sprinkles.  Can you tell we’re welcoming a baby boy to the family? ;)

P365: Party Favors [052]

We got creative with the party favors for my aunt’s baby shower.  Ever won a potted plant for winning a game at a baby shower? Didn’t think so…

P.S. I noticed I’m kinda addicted to this “antique” feature when I’m editing photos. I just like that retro feel…

NYC: En Route

Today's the day....! :)

I'm at the San Jose International Airport, waiting for my flight to Chicago/New York.  Thank goodness there's free wi-fi because we got here really early; we're talking a good two hours early.  With no one in line for tickets or security, we got through everything quickly.  Now it's just a matter of waiting...

So in the mean time...

As I embark on this journey to New York, I'm reading The Bell Jar, which just so happens to take place in New York City.  It's about a college girl who has a magazine internship. Oh boy. That's been a dream of mine; maybe I can make it happen!

I also started journal writing again.  As much fun as writing a blog, it's nice to go back to the paper and pen to jot down my thoughts of the day before going to bed.  The light of the computer keeps me up for an extended amount of time anyway.

The job search continues, but I do have an interview this week with Macy's. I'll have to give an update about that in another post...

Reading the New York Times, I found out they started building the new structures of the World Trade Center in New York City. It looks good so far! Hopefully I can check it out myself when I visit Ben, who is super stoked that I'll be there. Ah...It'll be good to see Ben and actually hang out.  Last time, he came to Portland, and I was super busy doing schoolwork and CPB events.  We didn't get to hang out much, but now that we'll be in the same city...! It'll be like ol' times in the ASUP office; well, kinda.

So I'm going to finish applying for a job with the New York Times...

See you in Chicago! ;)
