While Trying to be Productive..

Here I am, on a Sunday night, trying to be productive by making a video to poll readers on a school project. I'm trying to see which balloon animal the general public finds fun, easy to learn (but not too easy) and entertaining. As I'm almost done with the video I realize.. MY CAMERA DIED!! Ughh!! So I then jumped into the shower as my camera was charging. And when I came out I tried to tape again, and BAM it died AGAIN when I'm almost done. Haha. I really give up. I think I'll end up doing the dog because it's easy (but not as easy as the mouse) and it's also great for both boys and girls!! I'll let you guys know how it goes tomorrow in class!!

Lights, Camera, ACTION!!

It's been a long time.. But here's a vlog for ya!!

My Mom's Wedding 09/09/09

My Mom's wedding just passed on 09/09/09, and it was great to see all of my family again after 11 years!! The ceremony was held at the Berkeley Rose Garden and the reception followed at the Legendary Palace in Oakland. Today, 9/11 my Mom is arriving in Paris for her honeymoon. Here are a few photos from the wedding events!!

Rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.
Dinner at a really yummy Thai restaurant in Berkeley!

The wedding day.
(The first photo is what a lot of my friends have been waiting for!! The reveal of my wedding dress, a catalog photo of my Mom's wedding dress, which I will be wearing at mine and Rey's wedding as well!!) In the family photos, the lady in the wheel chair is my Great Grandmother!!

The reception.
And yes, the photo of me crying in my Mom's arms is a photo from our Mother Daughter dance.

More photos to come later, especially those from the professional photographer!! So keep your eyes pealed for it!!

Battle of The Bay!!

We went to the Battle of The Bay!! It was my first NFL game and it was so much fun!! After I worked in Faithful City, Tina (my boss), Darcy (my boss' husband), and myself went and joined Rey, his sister Gen, and her two friends at the game!!

Fun game, fun crowd, and a overall fun night!! Here is a video from the event!!

Back in Action.

Alllrighty, sooo I'm so happy to announce, I got my laptop back!! It's been MIA for MONTHS. Probably since February?? It had virus so I just stopped using it. And about 2 weeks ago my friend took it to fix it, and I just got it back!! Soooo, I think this will help me a lot. I used to do ALL my blogging on my laptop from bed. Which made it more fun and easier than being the office or game room as Rey is playing video games loudly, or people just around me distracting me. Now I can blog from bed like I used to those days where I'd post many many times a day.

In addition, some new changes is I got a new phone!! I had my old iPhone the VERY day iPhones came out, and I finally upgraded it to a sweet looking white iPhone 3gs!! And I love her!! I think I'll name her Betty Sue?? Or maybe just Betty?? I don't know yet, she looks classy like a 50's girl so I'll have to hunt around for names. Haha.

Less than a month til my Mom's wedding. Whew, her engagement went by REALLY fast!! Other news, we came back from our camping trip!! Lots of fun at Lake Don Pedro!! Boating is a thrill and tubing is always fun, plus I tried wake boarding!! The photos above are of us on the boat!! We had a really good time and I'm determined to plan another a camping trip in the summer. I want a bunch of friends to come, so if you're interest just let me know as the date closens. I'll be sure to keep you all updated. Here are a few more photos of us on the trip:

The trip was really fun, and yes I did get bug bites but they weren't as much as I had anticipated and they didn't hurt as bad either!! It was my first time camping at Don Pedro and I defiantly would go back if I had access to a boat again. This was our very first time camping together ever!! Never been since we got together 4 years ago!! Something we always wanted to do, and it was fun cuddling at night in a tent with my sweet pea!!

School starts this Monday, and please keep your fingers crossed for me. I have to do a walk in for all of my classes. I'm hoping my high priority number will do me some good.

I hope all is well, bless you.
