Upcoming weekend plans and it's only Monday, I'm a little bit excited about it because the girls and I are getting together for a photoshoot and makeover ! 

*Find WHITE dress for photoshoot and makeover for cousin's birthday

*Praying for PMS week to be over w/ so I can wear white

*also find ways to reduce fattening food craving/intake so I can at least fit into old white dresses if I cannot find an outfit

*Praying for no last min. face zits to appear...Urgh!

Sister called me up earlier that her train is stuck and her bf's sister and them will need a ride home after work.  I told her I'm fine with dropping them home.

And then I totally forgot about something and this light came on... Dur! I only have a 2 seater! doh! Had to quickly text her back that unless they want to ride in the trunk or on the top of the car then go right ahead as long as it ain't me. 

I'm losing it. Old age is catching up. *sighs...

Today is my father's actual 50th birthday.  Happy birthday dad, love you and thanks for all that you do for us, thanks for all your support, all your words of encouragement and most of all your love. 

We did a pre-birthday celebration for him.  As a birthday gift for him, we decided to rent out a cabin in Lake Tahoe ...trip will be in two weeks. Excited! 

May this year bring you much joy and many more ahead. Love you.

Overall, great weekend.

I love our friend's wedding decors. They did a wonderful job. Congrats and we love you both, may your new journey together as husband and wife be prosperous and exciting.

 

best part of it, I won $ 2 from their guest give aways...

I finally had the courage to sign up for a youtube account this year in hopes that I will be brave enough to be on camera, but for now, I would prefer recording people, places and things to share w/ the world...maybe when I have enough guts, I'll try to do some videos of myself in front of camera

for the time being, enjoy all the videos i recorded thus far this yr.

late night thoughts:

I miss my bestfriend 

Decided to message her to spend a day with me so we can both share and update our life stories. I've been very bad w/ keeping in touch with friends these days. I just feel as if everyone's so busy w/ their own life that a brief moment w/ me would take away a precious amount of their time. 

She left me when she got married...i was  but  also happy for her. It wasn't until 7 yrs later that I finally got married and now the hub. is my go-to person for every emotional turmoil.  The only difference is that he will never understand the female mind and how it operates...he can only analyze and make judgement but he will never fully grasp the whole concept of it.

Time for some venting session...it's good for the mind, body and soul.
