This movie has been distracting me from studying!! I keep taking "breaks" and watching this on Netflix! I'm never going to get anything done.

vacation all i've ever wanted
Spring break! Lorenz and I only had two days off together~ so we wanted to make the most of it! Our plan was pretty spontaneous! We booked the hotel and hot air balloon ride only 48 hours before we left. haha I've always wanted to ride a hot air balloon and I'm so glad we did it! It was such a relaxing and scenic ride! I loved every minute of it! The only down side was having to wake up at 3:30 in the morning to get there in time for the sunrise flight. There was a complimentary breakfast waiting for us when we landed! We stayed at ACE hotel in Palm Springs! I had absolutely no idea that this hotel was going to be so hip and trendy! haha .. It's like the "urban outfitters" of hotels. lol (if that makes any sense?) On the way back home we stopped by Joshua Tree! UGH.. FINALLY! haha.. I remember driving all the way over there last year and we didn't even get to explore the park cuz it was so dark! This trip was short, but so much fun!! I think we really made the most of it! Time to save for another trip!

Sucker Punch
Okay, so it wasn't the best movie. It was almost like Inception gone wrong. The dream within a dream thing was sloppy and poorly executed. The story had so much potential, but it fell flat towards the end. HOWEVER... What I DID love about the movie was how pretty it looked. I loved the sparkle, the action, the effects, the cute girls, and most of all.. the costumes! Ugh.. I'm so in love with every single one of their costumes. It looked very anime inspired ~ and what I use to dream of when I would draw character designs in my sketchbook. If you know me.. I'm obsessed with Final Fantasy! Ha ha.. it's my inner nerd .. and my dream world. Sigh.... The costumes in Sucker Punch reminded me so much of the girls of FFX-2 meets Tomb Raider. From Amber's Lollipop to the charms on Babydoll's gun ...*GUUSHH* .. I'm in LOVE! haha .. I wish I could wear Babydoll's costume for Halloween. (I actually found a legit one on Etsy.. but it's like $300 made to size)... but that means I would have to lose all my belly fat, which is impossible since I freakin love food. Sigh...

like the movies
Oh no! Another Katy Perry song that I absolutely love. gah! I can't help it .. so there. Haha This music video has nothing to do with this song, so don't mind it. Just listen! Gah~ I think Katy Perry has become my ultimate GUILTY pleasure. I never thought I would succumb to this. lol
grass growing at the corners of my bed
I went hiking at the Los Liones hiking trail with Lorenz the other day. It was such a beautiful Fern Gully - esque hike that overlooked the ocean. Unfortunately, I had class at 3PM, and the peak of the hike takes about 4 hours to get to. We only made it about 2 miles up to the first view point and then made our way back down. I didn't want to be late to class and I was really hungry too. haha. soooo... We just went to the Santa Monica pier and ate some fish and chips, clam chowder, and shrimp cocktail. SOOOOOO delicious! Hopefully, we'll make it back up there this weekend and finish that darn hike!! It was really beautiful!!
BLD
I went on a little brunch date with Lorenz right before I had to go to school. We went to BLD near the Grove and had some delicious food!! I got the Bruleed Grapefruit and the Ricotta Blueberry pancakes. I really liked the grapefruit, but the pancakes were a little too overrated for me. I was reading some Yelp reviews and so many people were saying that they were seriously, "to die for." ummm.. not really. haha.. They were all right. Lorenz got the Braised Pork and Poached Eggs ... now that was really good!! I want more!!

I'm so glad I got to see this awesome exhibit at the Moca! I loved how the art wasn't just something you looked at, but something you actual became part of. It was very interactive ~ like stepping into a room of light, walking through blue strings, or swimming in the pool. It was a fun experience & definitely worth the visit.

I just have to gush~
My little cousin, Jade, was in the SCGA Fore golf magazine!!! Yayyy ~ so proud of her!! She's going to be the next Michelle Wie. hahaha
My dinner date with Pia
It's shabu shabu weather!!! I finally had some catching up time with my friend, Pia. We went to Kushi Shabu in Little Tokyo and talked about everything that's been happening with our lives. I looove their lychee ice cream & fruit bowl at this restaurant. It's so yummy! We also went on top of the roof of the hotel in that plaza ~ it had a cute little garden and a view of the LA buildings.
happy face
I love it when Lorenz surprises me with sweet, little things. ~ Stuff like ~ Tulips .. my favorite flowers .. or mini garlic croissants that I can't stop munching on .. or even just a little note that says, "I love you, let's have lunch." :) These are things that make me happy face. The sweetest part about it is that he surprises me for absolutely no apparent reason. It's not our anniversary, it's not Valentine's day, ... it's just ANOTHER day. This post is dedicated to him and how much I appreciate all that he does.
