Here is nephew #1 holding nephew #3. SO PRECIOUS.

I know his brothers and sister will love Quincy to death. I saw how they treated their baby sister Madison when she was born. They are so protective and loving towards her. Just like how older sisters and brothers should be!

Too bad I am getting married in a month or else I would come out to visit! Congrats to my sister :)

The concept of LudoBites:

LudoBites is a guerilla style pop-up restaurant event created by Ludo Lefebvre. The goal of LudoBites is to create a revolutionary new “bistronomy” cuisine that features Michelin style French tradition combined with modern technique and offered at reasonable prices.

The reasonable prices part got me! ;) Supposedly there is a rotating menu of three appetizers, three entrees and two desserts and is different every night!

The pop-up restaurant is at BreadBar at 3rd Street and is here until August 22nd so make your reservations now. Anyone want to join us? I have reservations for Friday, July 10th at 6:30pm. Yayyyy, can’t wait!

I think the main reason was because every digital camera I own shoots horribly in low light which really annoys me. And my latest camera, the Canon powershot s3 was a bit bulky for me to lug around. A few of my friends have been getting into dSLRs but I know that I don’t have the patience to lug one of those around if I can barely stand carrying the S3! And then having to buy all of those lens and accessories! I’d hate to spend so much money on something that I knew would start gathering dust in a few months.

So then I read about the new Olympus E-P1 PEN!

Isn’t it beautiful? I love the retro-ness of it…and I LOVE the compactness of it!

It’s being touted as a point and shoot sized camera that shoots dSLR quality pics. This is what I’ve been waiting for!!! You can even buy lens and attachments for it!

Unfortunately, the price is rumored to be around $800! Maybe if we don’t buy a house and have to live at boyrobot’s house (with his parents :(), I’ll treat myself to this after the wedding.

If you want to read more about this camera and its technical specs check out these links:

Dove Ultimate Visibly Smooth Antiperspirant

Yeah so this product is supposed to keep you dry AND SMOOTHER?! And supposedly from all of the reviews I’ve been reading, it works! Sounds amazing to me. And also Dove products are really awesome. I’ve never been disappointed. My current Dove product right now is their Go Fresh Energize Dove Conditioner. (it smells like grapefruit and lemongrass…mm!) Highly recommend!

I’m a total facebook junkie. It’s probably my most visited website after gmail and google reader. I think having the facebook app on my iPhone is probably the reason why. Whenever I have a few minutes free, I usually check facebook, twitter, and then FML. One of these days I’m going to do a iPhone app post. I’ve maxed out my iPhone apps so I have lots to talk about!

I don’t mind getting spam when it’s as creative as this. Seriously though, who writes these things? And worse off, who falls for them? But people do and it’s so sad.

I know I’ve been neglecting this blog but life has been tiring. Update on my life:

im walking almost normal again but my knees are still weird/in pain.
today i bought a dress that im not really sure i like. but i’ve been going crazy trying to find a dress for the wedding reception. oh yeah, it’s non-returnable either so i guess i better like it.
last weekend i had my hair and makeup trial. it was awkward. i’m so not a hair and makeup type of girl! oh well, it’s for 1 day right?

my wedding goals for this week:
1. finish up the guestbook
2. finish up the ceremony program design

yes, my life is consumed by this wedding so I’m trying to blog less because wedding talk is boring and i don’t want this to become weddingbot!

my web stats have dropped in half. i hope upon my return that i can resume where i left off. it took me so long to build this site up! 2 months and counting.

I’m surprised LA made it to the list…I have yet to try a really outstanding pizza out here. But then again I haven’t had the two that made the list. I’ll have to try it!

Speaking of pizza, I just read about a korean fried chicken and pizza place called Pizza and Chicken Love Letter. Awesome. It’s right by where I live too. The reviews for the pizza aren’t that great….they have weird toppings like sweet potato. But I think I’ll have to try it just to say I ate at a place called Pizza and Chicken Love Letter!
