moving from LA to Sacramento Area.

Hi!! last february 1st, i made the move from my childhood home in anaheim to the lovely small town of auburn in northern california. for the most part, it was a drastic change. living all my life in orange county with millions of people, to a house in auburn in a community of only 13 thousand people. now, i spend my time between auburn and pasadena. for all the times that i make a visit to pasadena, i am totally in love with it. i love downtown pasadena and i love love love colorado blvd. i love shopping at lather, getting coffee at intelligetsia, buying macarons at lette, and eating meals at all of the nice restaurants. 

now, i need to figure out a way to move back down to la, but in the mean time i need to find a job. i need to find a job so i can start the funds to make the move back down to so-cal. coming a true orange county girl, i miss the fashion, the diversity, i miss home, and most of all, i think i just miss the hustle and bustle. 

 

time for 2014 to be a drastic year for this lady. now, is the time to start.

eats from the past week.

hello blogosphere!!

so..i recently downloaded new pictures from my eats from the past couple of weeks and one of them included short ribs with vegetables. here’s a pic:

and then for the past week, i have had at least one bowl with peaches and strawberries. OH, i am so in love with summer fruits right now!! i can’t get enough, yummy!

here is a pic of fruit bowl with trader joes vanilla greek yogurt:

well besides eating fruit bowls, i have to admit to something. last week i really had a weak 4 days in terms of my diet. one day i went to in.n.out, the next day i went to the habit, and then the next day i had a whole plate of mexican food. i think i gained something like 6 pounds. well, now i am back to my maintain weight but i am looking forward to losing a lot more. i really need some help and some motivation to keep going because right now i am seriously in a rut. i can’t get out of it and it’s making me really mad.

working it out.

hello readers!! buenos noches!!

well…i left for vacation on june 10th. leading up to june 10th, i was going to the gym like once or twice a week. well i then went to willow glen and only worked out when i went for a 6 mile walk. it was 3 miles to the resturant and 3 back. i didn’t think it was 6 miles because it wasn’t hard. i returned on june 23rd and i returned home sicker than a dog. i was taking emergen-c and sudafed. i eventually got better and i stayed away from the gym. i think i got better around june 28th to 30th. i started going back to the gym last saturday. i did 2.1 miles. today, i went to the gym and walked and ran 2.25 miles. i know it’s not a lot but at least i am trying right?? when i got back from the gym, i showered and then made myself a bowl of fruit with greek yogurt. the bowl contents: 1 white peach, 8 strawberries, and trader joes vanilla greek yogurt. it was delish. when i worked out today i burned 260 calories. before going to the gym today i also had a carmel macchiato. for breakfast i had eggs sunnyside up and some toast and some bacon. yea, you could of said i really needed to go the gym. well i did work, son.

sunday there is a party and i want to look good in my top so i might go tomorrow and friday and saturday morning. we will see. i need to get into the groove again and the routine of going 5 days a week.

living up to the title.

hello readers and friends!! if there are any of you out there???

this past week was a good week, the cold is about gone and i am doing well. for eats, well, they have been there but they haven’t been healthy. i have been trying though. last night my dad and i bbq’d some burgers and they were amazing. it was the best hamburger i have had in a very long time. i seasoned the black angus patty with garlic powder, cracked pepper, herb cracked salt, and seasoning salt. i then added a piece of american cheese, fresh mashed avocado, and 2 pieces of bacon. HOLY COW IT WAS AMAZING.

here is a pic:

and besides eating this awesome hamburger, i have had trader joes greek yogurt with raspberries, bananas, and barney crunchy alomd butter.

well that’s a couple of pictures, i hope you people have a good rest of the weekend!! lata!!

4th of july weekend.

hello everyone!!

yesterday as you all know was the 4th of july. i spent the day sleeping in, going to starbizzle for a latte and going to a friends house for a BBQ and watching the fireworks go off at fullerton high school. the menu for the party was homemade ribs, veggie skewers, coconut marinaed bbq chicken, homemade potato salad, and asian salad.

here is the finale from the firework show:

also saturday we went to tommy bahama and sprinkles and i bought the cutest top EVA!! we also went to sprinkles and here’s a pic:

here’s a pic of the top i bought that is in this print:

this past weekend has been very weird because my mom isn’t spending the holiday with my father and i. she’s not in the area and it’s been really hard on me. another thing that’s been hard on me, is my brother and his wife are in canada and not in the us spending time with their friends. it’s been really hard on me not having my whole family together on this important holiday. i guess what i am trying to say, is that i wish from now on spending the 4th of july with my entire family because i miss them and not being with them. i guess i am becoming thankful for actually being with them on the holiday.

also i am becoming how awesome my parents are. within two years, they have bought me new clothes for my new body, a car, and a new macbook. how amazing is that?? i am so blessed to have an awesome family like mine. who needs a boyfriend when i have the best parents in the world??

happy 4th of july!!

i will be spending the 4th of july in fullerton at the richies’ house. they are having a island theme for everything and i can’t wait. around 9pm, the fireworks go off at fullerton’s college’s baseball field and i can’t wait. happy 4th!!

not so healthy.

hello ladies and gents!!

well i do have pictures to show you from my trip up north but it’s going to be a long post because the man hasn’t contacted me in 2 days. i will be so happy if it’s over, i did not want what he wanted out of the relationship. i hope he has the best of luck finding a cougar to take care of his sorry butt.

well to start the post off, here is my silly brother in his orange hair given the night of the giants game we went to together.

also about two nights later we went out to willow glen, down the block from his house and find frozen custard:

this is the best frozen vanilla custard EVA!! i am heaven when i have this stuff, it’s AMAZING!!

then a week later we went to dinner with matt and laura in sac town and had the most amazing dinner EVA!! here is laura, matt, nic and soleil:

here is baby soleil on the chair:

here is me with 50 pounds lost, AMAZING, right??

here is dinner from tonight. it was trader joes vanilla greek nonfat yogurt, a banana, and barney butter crunchy:

well with the few pictures yesterday i did a mile and a half around the neighborhood and it felt good to get out again. i have been up and down on the scale and i really need to scale it back because all the food i have been eating lately has been fast food. yuck!! not very good in my book and i REALLY NEED TO STOP!!

well i will be back soon, lata!

t-man.

hello everyone!!

t-man, yes that is the title of this post. t-man was the perfect guy for me and we talked for about a month about everything. yesterday after i shared my livejournal link with him, he said that he never wanted to talk to me again. he also said he wishes me luck on the guy search. well last night after the hurtful words, i never want to talk to him again. this maybe a game and he is testing me, but i really hope not. he shared with me the most private things and now, it’s over. i don’t know what to say or what he wants. what to know what i want?? i wanted to see more pictures of him. i wanted to know what he really looked like. one thing from his pictures, i didn’t like that he was so buff. i mean he maybe in shape, but his arms were HUGE!! I have to be honest, i am afraid of guys that big and what they do when they really get mad. i am afraid he would accidently hit me  and then what do i do??? i do not want to be placed in that situation.

t-man went to usc, played football in high school and was quarterback and plays baseball. he works for a wine and olive oil company and i think he is self-employed. he lives in coto de caza and many other things. do i dare say i already miss not talking to him for a day???  another thing, today after all this stuff happened last night, he checked on my profile today. i DO NOT want him looking at my picture anymore and i really want to delete my whole profile. i need to make a new one so he doesn’t get to see it anymore. i can’t though because if he searches for the women in his area, he will see me. this is the worst thing that would of happened. i hate this shit.

fuck.

proud new owner of a macbook.

hello readers and friends!!!

yes..i am the proud new owner of an apple macbook. the model my parents bought me is the white macbook 13″. i am seriously in love. i have had pc’s my whole entire life and now i own an apple. i am so freakin ecstatic and happy. i am learning how to learn a whole new type of software but for right now, i am in love. i have always loved apple products but now i can learn how to use this laptop. one feature i am excited about is the whole photobooth. yay!!

if you have wondering what i have been doing other than computer shopping, well i am living just day to day and trying to get over a really bad cold. i caught a cold from soleil and nicole and matt and i got it 2 weeeks ago thursday. let me tell you, being sick is not fun. not fun at all.

well i guess i will be back soon but for now, i have to watch the rest of the world cup match. go spain!!

i’m here. i’m here. i’m here.

hello loves!!

thursday morning i left orange county and headed my way up the coast to san jose on a big southwest jet. the flight there was awesome and i ended up sitting next to a lady’s who’s daughter goes to stanford. she gave me this long story on how her daughter and her don’t get along. major bummer. i think you would get along with a parent who is spending close to 50 thousand dollars for you to go to college and one of the most prestigous colleges in the whole world. i guess i wish it was me. when i got to my brother’s house, him and his wife weren’t hungry so i had to walk to the taco joint down the street and bought the best breakfast burrito EVA!! it had chorizo, egg, sour cream,  and fresh avocado. it was awesome.

friday night i had the chance to go to the giants game and it was the best time i have ever had. the garlic fries and the caramel corn are out of this world. they are so fresh and awesome. the giants won 6 to 2 and lincecum pitched a great game. here are a few pictures:

saturday my brother asked me if i wanted to go to breakfast and i stupidly said yes!! well what i didn’t know that it was a 6 mile walk to and from. it was a great workout and i am not really sore, so i don’t think it was 6 miles.  but maybe it was and i am in shape so it didn’t really affect me. if that was the case that would be awesome. while we were at bill’s for breakfast, i ordered the chilaquiles and they were delicious. we also had mimosas that were to die for yum to the o.

well that’s it for now, hope you enjoyed the pics!!
