When did it become September?!

August was definitely a crazy month! I still can't believe it's already September! So much has happened during the past month and I'm just so thankful for all the blessings and even the not so good things. After 3.5 years, I finally left my old job and finally got a new job for an industry I've been dreaming to work in! I went on a road trip to Sonora, Yosemite, and San Francisco. I even climbed to the top of Half Dome ~ which I still can't believe!! Two days ago I experienced my first car accident. The damage to the cars were pretty bad, but everyone was safe! I'm still trying to recover from the impact. Even though getting into a car accident really sucked, it was like a blessing in disguise. It made me realize how important my loved ones were to me and just made me really thankful for all the simple things in life. I'm just so happy I'm able to write in this blog right now. I have working fingers, eyes, feet ... I'm just so thankful for that. Anyways, I can't wait for what September has to bring. I know that it'll definitely be a challenging month learning new things and trying to adjust to a whole new environment. Bring it on, Life!

TODAY IS THE DAY! 

Foxes - White Coats

old but new

I still love this video and its homemade feel.

Transmission LA: AV CLUB

I had so much fun at this exhibit! It was curated by Mike D from the Beastie Boys! All the pieces focused on invigorating our sight and sound (hence the name AV Club - Audio & Visual). I also loved how Lorenz showed up to my house all dressed up without me asking him to. It was so cute. haha ... oh yea, and the exhibit was free!!

SPRINKLES

It was just one of those nights when I couldn't resist the cravings. Got my bag and headed to Beverly Hills just for some Red Velvet cupcakes. I was so excited to try the new Sprinkles Cupcake ATM!! It's kind of funny .. it even has its own theme song. Even though it's in a vending machine, the cupcake still tasted fresh. There's also a Sprinkles Ice Cream coming soon! Uh oh..

Yayoi Kusama

I absolutely love Yayoi Kusama!! My dream is to see one of her exhibits one day!! Oh, what I would give to fly to London right now just to see her current exhibition at the Tate Modern. I'm so inspired by her work that I even painted polka dots in my bedroom wall. I might just have to fly back to New York in July just so I can see her upcoming exhibition at the Whitney! 

COACHILLIN AT COACHELLA

SCORCHING HOT. FUN. GREAT MUSIC. Here are some highlights from my weekend in the desert. I also attached a video I recorded of Gotye at the bottom of this post. Enjoy!

KAESI & LORENZ IN NY

Our trip in a New York minute! Enjoy!

NEW YORK DIARY

What can I say? New York was so amazing! The city was bursting with creativity, youth, culture, and diversity. It was very urban, busy, and had the most beautiful architecture. I think I spent most of my time eating. There was way too much good food.

Some facts about my trip: 

-Acoustics are amazing in the subways
-You are definitely a tourist if you follow the crosswalk
-The weather in the city is colder than what it says on the iPhone! It doesn't take note of all the shade from the tall buildings and the strong winds! I freakin froze my California ass during the trip.
-Some serious walking.

She's so cute

Picturesque Hawaii

I regret not taking enough pictures in Hawaii with my Canon. My primary camera was my iPhone and it failed to show how gorgeous the scenery was. Here are a few shots I took with my Canon SLR. Nature was just so breathtaking there; and it needed no filter to capture its natural beauty.

ALOHA ADVENTURE

I'm so sorry for not blogging for so long!!! I went to Hawaii and have been stuck in "vacation mode." It was a much needed vacation away from the hussle and bussle. Actually, Waikiki was a lot like Santa Monica (but better beaches) ... but driving up to North Shore was AH-mazing! 3 facts about my trip: 1. Everyone was nice 2. My hair was frizzy everywhere I went 3. I saw a rainbow every single day. Here's a little video of my Aloha adventure!
