Christmas Festivities by Bo

I was so bummed that I didn't get to go December nights this year after making a huge deal about going so Bo wanted to make it up to me which was the sweetest!! =)

Last night we got down and dirrrrty!! HAHA. Don't EVEN get it twisted!! Bo wanted to make Christmas Wreaths!!

We went to VONS to get all the ingredients and seriously after standing in line for almost 30 min waiting for this guy who bought 7 gift cards and wanted to pay for each of them separately don't even get me started on him it was RIDIC I tell you...we were finally on our way home.

Kekeke!! After a whole lot of heating, melting, mixing, mixing, mixing.........


Tada!! HAHA. The sad thing about it though was Bo and I were going marshmallow crazy. We put a little bit too much marshmallows and the thing was a little bit too chewy. It was almost too exhausting to eat! At least it looked cute and the thought of making it together was absolutely adorable. =) Thank you!!

I think tonight we are going to try to go to the Christmas Boat Parade downtown....Weeee!!

Good to the Bone....

BBQ Chicken isn't short for barbeque chicken but for BEST of the BEST QUALITY CHICKEN! I think this place is a chain too because I think there is one in Irvine? I think its so funny! Bo and I were driving down Convoy the other day and we decided that we always pass this place so why not try it. They are open till I think 11PM or 12AM everyday! The fun thing also is that they have a Karaoke contest Friday nights (this place is small let me tell you) and the winner wins a $20 gift card!!!

We couldn't decide what to order and how big the portions were!!

I love pickled stuff! HAHA! I think this was Jicama? sp?

I decided to order the BB Wings and Bo ordered the Eel. It was sooo much food! OMG. Don't even...

It was yummy!! =)

Cavaillon Restaurant with my Loves

A few weeks ago Bo, Andrew, Fil & I decided to try Cavaillon Restaurant! We had a coupon of course because we are all about saving money. HAHA!! I love us.

We started the night off with some Foie Gras! I'm just not a huge fan of chutney. Don't get me started on chutney.

Followed by the beef tenderloin w/short ribs ravioli. Unfortunately, I didn't treat myself to Rossini like Bowie did. HAHA. I like how on the menu it said ***treat yourself by adding Rossini to any meat dish.

We ended the night with San Diego Magazine's 2008 Most Decadent Desserts....LOL! Bowie and I got the housemade ice cream.

I mean don't get me started we did eat more than this....a little bit of wine (even though we were already started from the homemade sangria we drank earlier), pomme frites, creamy potatoes, salmon....more more more!!

Mochilato

Every time Bo and I go up to Irvine to visit Antho we almost always have Mochilato!! This is probably why we are so fat! HAHA. <3<3<3

I'm a fan of all the nutty flavors: pistachio and hazelnut (i'm not quite sure what the other brown one was i'm thinking Tiramisu?) but I decided that I wanted to try the plum flavor also.

I was thinking to myself oh this isn't that much "2 mochilatos....that's nothing" so I made Antho get a "small" shaved ice too. HAHA!! WE ARE BARBARIANS!!!! LMAO. Not to mention the fact that we were sitting by Tito Buff...haha that was fun.

Best Friend's Happy Hour Adventure at Unos

Joel and I went to happy hour this week at Uno's but I think their happy hour only had Coors for half off at the bar so we just decided to get some beers, pizza, and dessert! =)



We wanted to try their deep dish cookie sundae....which was pretty much the same thing as the Pizookie at Bj's. I think I prefer the one at Bj's more.

Adventures in LA with my Loves

Bowie and I were up in LA for the day enjoying his week off from school and me just enjoying a few days off of work. We did a little shopping but unfortunately didn't find anything! That was a disappointment! =( Boo. Anyway, Andrew made reservations at this cute restaurant called Animal. No, Animal from the Muppets wasn't there. HAHA. I was checking reviews on YELP and they were mostly good so I was excited to try the place!

A little bit of everything....DELICIOUS!!!

After dinner Andrew took us to the most amazing Karaoke place i've gone to!! Where else do they have Come Close? You tell me...

If your not sweating...you're not karaoke-ing hard enough. LOL.

Oh what a night! It was fun.

We had breakfast at Joan's on 3rd. Andrew and I got the steel cut oats and Bowie got some french toast. We also split this scrumptious banana chocolate muffin. The place was absolutely cute!! =) Too bad we didn't get to see Nicole.

after breakfast Bowie and I headed to Disneyland....YAY!

Babe's Birthday Dinner at Karl Strauss

It was Bowie's Buuurthday a few weeks ago. Bo didn't really plan anything too crazy this year. Last year we did Lei Lounge. We ended up going to Karl Strauss with his family. For some reason we thought that the Karl Strauss in Sorrento was open on a Saturday but it wasn't and we ended up going to the Karl Strauss in La Jolla!

Don't EVEN get me started on this night. All poor Bowie wanted for dinner was steak so he ordered Filet Mignon which ended up being sold out and then Bo pretty much went down the list of steaks which were all sold out except for I think the NY strip? The manager had to come to our table and give us a discount on our meal for the inconvenience! At least we enjoyed our calamari and Hefeweizen which probably would have been better if they gave us an orange slice rather than a lemon.

After dinner we decided to walk around Prospect and hang out with our herd of cattle! LOL. I guess they still have those artsie cows around La Jolla still.

Probably not a good picture to post for the world to see but the cow was pretty!! HAHA!! I felt like I was standing next to a Picasso painting! A Cow next to a Cow. LOL!!! Thank you.

OMG I love him. HAHA. He's so gangsta gangsta!!

We ended up walking to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory!! LOL. We eat so much!! We got a frozen banana!

Currently Listening to: Sybil - Don't Make Me Over

How appropriate because I feel like the food made me over....

Dinner With Bowie's Fam

Went to Leung Hai Ky the other day for dinner with Bowie and his parents.

I like this Chinese bread. Its yummy. I don't even know what its called. I think its just called Chinese Bread. HAHA.

I ordered the seafood porridge. It was delicious! I love it! =)

Cup Cakes

There's a new cup cake place at UTC and I dared to try it!!! I tried the red velvet cupcake which was okay. I guess you can choose your toppings and type of frosting. It's not Sprinkles but it will do for now. I need to try the other cup cake places in San Diego.

Currently Listening to: Patrice Rushen - Forget Me Nots

I'm dancing in my seat! =)

Exercise Update:

Hi folks.

So seriously after eating 3 donuts and 2 cookies yesterday from VG Bakery in Cardiff I felt so guilty that I had to go gym it ASAP and did cardio yesterday for almost an hour and 15 min. Don't get me started on these donuts though...they were amazing!! No wonder it was voted best donuts in San Diego!!

Then this morning I woke up late but ended up meeting up with Joel at the Mission Valley 24 hour fitness and did 55 min on the EFX and 10 min on the bike and 20 min on the stairmaster!! We were in the zone and I felt like I worked out to the point that I almost felt like passing out. LOVING IT!!!

Joel and I were craving smoothies so we went to Robeks right after. I got my usual awesome acai. I'm starting to love Robeks a lot more now!

Chicago on a Bun

I could have also titled this entry, "How to make Andrew throw up!"

Went to eat lunch at Chicago on a Bun with Bowie and his madre. I didn't even know there were 3 locations! We went to the one in La Jolla. I used to come here with Joel for lunch and it was funny because I guess Joel would come here so often that the worker bees knew him and would be like "Hey Joel, the usual?" HAHA. It's good here if you don't mind spending 7 dollars on a hot dog with potato chips. On the other hand I guess the hot dogs are shipped from Chicago and the potato chips are homemade which makes it worthwhile I guess?

My Polish Dog...I didn't get Chicago style though...

Bowie's Cheesesteak...this was kind of bland though?

I did go biking hardcore after this meal!!! =)

Too Beautiful to Eat....

Just reading some blogs and came across Housemartin. I saw photos of the Laduree macaroons and it reminded me of Paris 2008!!

The macaroons Andrew and I bought.

We sat on a bench on the Champs Elysees ate these oh so delicious macaroons and just enjoyed watching the fabulous people pass us by.....*sigh* I love Paris...

Dinner with my Loves...

Hey folks!

I had dinner with my loves tonight at the Macaroni Grillsies! =) Not to mention the fact that we had a very economical dinner!!


I was torn between the sorbetto or the lemon passion. I ended up getting the lemon passion which was a tasty treat! =)

I also loved the fact that someone went into someone else's psyche!! <3<3<3 She was nice. I miss him.

It's Kind of Like...

a rainbow...

I guess you can't really see it but I saw a rainbow today on my way to Mitsuwa with Bowie.

...How Sweet...

I loved it! <3<3<3

Thank you!

A Quiet Lunch

Currently listening to: Radiohead - Creep

This song reminds me of Rock Band.

I didn't bring lunch yesterday to work and decided to drive out to Robeks to get myself a smoothie. Parking was so bad probably because it was the peak hour for lunch and ended up having lunch at Bristol Farms. I love their soups there BTW. I used to go there a lot for lunch with Joel when he worked in the area almost a year ago. Bo and I still go there for their yummy tri-tip with mushrooms and au jus.

I ate Matzo ball soup and had my favourite Snapple, peach ice tea. =) I tried to cram 2 matzo balls in my cup but I didn't even end up finishing it because they are so filling! LOL.

I ate this while reading the Reader. I want some leg warmers from American Apparel but it sure is starting to get warm again?

This picture reminds me of Body Fuzion. HAHA. =)

Why is Haagen-Dazs so Great?

Because it just is. Weeeee....

I went to Haagen-Dazs the other day with Bowie and Nimitz and for once I didn't get a Bailey's shake. I'm not that big of a fan of chocolate ice cream besides Choco mocha crunch at Rite Aid. I'm more of a nutty gal! HAHA. Although I did get Dulce de Leche.

I love it! =)

Classics Malt Shop

Bo and I did try a new place this week. I wanted a milk shake because they bring all the boys to the yard. =) HAHA.

We went to the Classics Malt Shop down by the Sports Arena. A small place but very cute!

A Healthy Start!

I woke up with a craving for some fruit!

Christmas Eve Tradition

My dad ALWAYS cooks Arroz Caldo for Christmas Eve which is chicken and rice with ginger in a chicken broth. Its pretty much almost the same as congee. I LOVE IT!!! He'll probably cook this on New Year's Eve too.

We ate butsi/sesame balls for dessert! =) This was not home made it was store bought from Chow King!!
