She works hard for the money

I think in a past life I was a Southern Belle ;) Atlanta was awesome. It's a city where so much makes sense to me for some reason. And LA - I mean c'mon, who doesn't love the weather in Southern Cali baby? I had a wonderful vacation. I don't think I've laughed so hard and drank so much in forever! My friends and family are so supportive and loving and just cool as f*ck! I am extremely lucky. Now back to work! ;)

Palm Trees and Sweet Tea

... still on vacation. Life is good :)

Barack Obama

Barack Obama is going to be speaking at ASU today!! Cool right?? Here's some info http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5i7ixa6UuFOkev_Y2sUNV5EmJ_L2AD9850ISO0

Without giving away my political party choice (you'd be surprised if I'm a donkey or elephant lover by the way) or getting "too heavy" about politics. Barack Obama is extremely respectable and I think he is sexy. LOL C'mon a man who loves his wife and kids, works hard, believes in his country, isn't broke and loves his mama... so sexy. I'm just sayin'....

Sunday Secrets and all the great Moms!

Happy Mother's Day!!

I picked my favorite postcard from the http://www.postsecret.com/ website already this morning ... i think it's hilarious! :) There are more sentimental postcards on the site, I just happened to chuckle (excessively) at this "ass" one LOL

Anyway Happy Mother's Day to my Mom and Lola and Nanay. In the Filipino culture you either call your Grandmother Lola or Nanay - cute huh?

My Lola is in California and I'll see her in a week! Yay! But my Nanay passed away when I was a teenager and I miss her everyday. I'm almost 30 and I don't think I'll ever stop wishing she was around. She taught me the language of tagalog and taught me to NEVER involve yourself in anything I thought was BULLSHIT!! LOL She was a hardcore granny. I love her.

Happy Mother's Day!! Go Lakers!!

A new study reveals: Pet owners resemble their pets...

What d'ya think? :)

The hottest men in the NBA

The Material Girl and her good cause

Okay. Seriously. It is AMAZING what a new pair of shoes does for me... I honestly believe that a woman cannot have too many pairs of shoes. All kinds, way out of budget shoes, Jordans, cute flip flops, the whole nine!

I just got home from my friend Briget's boutique here in Phoenix and adore what she picked out for me! These are the shoes I bought. Love them! I also bought a few cute bikinis (that I told her were way UNDERpriced if she's trying to make a profit, but she said she's just trying to "get cute girls into cute bikinis!")

Anyway I'm just high on shopping right now, let me have this Material Girl moment...

I also bought a dress for the Hero's Night Event going on at the Wrigley Mansion. My girl Jill Johnson lost her father who was a police officer and hostage negotiator when she was a little girl, so she has teamed up with the 100 Club to raise funds for local families of fallen police and firemen. Isn't that awesome? Wanna go? get details at http://www.wrigleymansion.com/

It happens to everyone...

no not erectile dysfunction.

I'm talking about wondering what's next and will it get any better. Many of my friends and family have been in "ruts" lately that even my magnificent personality and extremely comforting hugging ability cannot withstand their sadness :(

So in the essence of "misery loves company" FYI - i get that way too. And as of late... i've been that way a lot!

Phrases like "this is some bullsh*t!" and "Oh hell no! This is so f*ckin' stupid!" and the classic "Ain't that a b*tch?!" have infested my normally positive demeanor.

I mean, sure I cuss... But when I do - it's more like this, "This is the sh*t!" or "OMG, that was fu*king awesome!"

Anyway, i'm just venting and thought I'd offer you some comfort in saying: You're not alone, you're never alone... and in time everything will be "fuckin' fabulous!" ;)

Pacman and PostSecret Favorites...

I am so proud of Manny Pacquiao. He's a great example of humility and great sportsmanship.... AND HE IS A BADASS MUFUCKA!!! He knocked out Ricky Hatton in 2 rounds. It's a great moment for boxing history and Philippine Culture. Coolness.

Just woke up. Going to spend the day doing things I rarely get to do. Sit and read and have a nice breakfast! Maybe I'll go to Mill Ave or Downtown Phoenix :)

I posted my 2 favorite postcards from this morning... Happy Sunday!
