this weekend was a reflection of how fulfilling my life has become.
i somehow seek more but all along everything is right here within my reach.
i think you need weekends like these to remind you how rich you really are in life.
i went to my auntie deng deng's funeral on saturday morning, i also visited my lola and uncle les's grave. it just reminded me of how precious life really is. i wonder why we are all given such a gift of life, yet we find so many things to complain so much about and surround ourselves with negative influences. flush out those who are not contributing positive energy to your life and fill your life with amazing people.. if you can find them all, cuz i feel like i got them all.
meanwhile, im back in richmond and hunger so i figure i could make some ramen, maybe drop in egg in there.. we will see where the moment takes me.

simple as pie
so i made a pie from scratch.. well everything but the crust, but come on.
i feel like i accomplished something of a masterpiece!
to me this chocolate pecan pie is the best pie ever of all pies in the world wide world!
if you havent tried already, take my word for it..
right now it sits upon my desk tainting me so.. i brought it for my work christmas potluck and it would be super yummy with my coffee this morning.. but i will be patient. its not cute to come to a potluck with a pie half eaten.

plus one
why is it that we need a series of things in our lives, and when one out of that series is missing, you let it effect the rest of the things you do already have.. rather than appreciating what it is that you do have?

forever my friend
this is such a beautiful song...
my co-worker anita tells me that i'm in a romantic mood, as she waves her hand in front of my face, she says "come back to this world."
anita is in an arranged marriage, she has only lived in america for a short time. she asks me about how to be romantic, things perhaps her and her husband can do together.. i suggested things like skiing, ice skating, dinner & a movie, a day trip somewhere, camping, etc. there is so much to do as a couple, i miss that couple feeling.. a lot. the companionship of having someone to make plans with.
i guess im just a hopeless romantic, that hopes that i find my friend, my love, my man, and that it will last a lifetime.. sigh.

twenty-five
its my twenty-fifth year on this earth!
i am thankful to all those that have been there for me that love me dearly.. i love you right back! each and everyone of you...
my 25th birthday was one that i won't easily forget...
i was surrounded by some amazing people, family and friends!
my friend, lee came from san diego for school at the naval 
base in norfolk. he scooped bryan and i from richmond then to centreville to spend the thanksgiving holiday with the family. there were loads of food, laughs, and beer.. then my birthday rolled around, on blessed black friday.. lee and i boldly met up with the acuesta's to suffer through the god forsaken mall. i found my birthday dress at forever 21, it took forever to get the hell outta there, maybe thats why they have forever in then name... could be.
i can still shop there, i give myself until i hit thirty, or until i look thirty..
anywho.. headed to cafe martini to meet up with some local friends then made our sweet time to 1223 in dc.
little did i know that april had reserved a table for us all.. it was such a lovely surprise.. we all got in for free with champagne and cupcakes! i am one lucky girl! :] friends from all walks of my exsistence showed and it was so very lovely! thank you all for making my day so wonderful! xoxoxoxoxo!
