I worked on two birthday cards today! They’re for my friends’ birthday dinner tonight. They’re turning out really nicely. I love this EK Success Cupcake punch. I’ll have to write a tutorial soon. :)

Above is a photo of the girl birthday card. :)

My friends and I have been wanting to go to Goofy’s Kitchen since we found out about it last year. But you need to make reservations 2 months in advance! Can you believe that? It’s quite popular with the parents and kids! We finally made reservations to celebrate Lena and Jeff’s birthdays!

It’s essentially a buffet where you get to eat with Disney Characters! There’s at least 6 or 8 of them walking around and greeting you every so often. I was having so much fun taking photos with my friends that I kind of forgot about eating! It’s kid-oriented, so there’s a lot of finger foods… and things like peanut butter and jelly pizza. That was quite interesting!

The best part are all the memories we were able to capture. Here are some photos taken by Albertech and me!

Happy Independence Day everyone! Hope you had a great day. As for me, I had a wonderful day with my in-laws. We had a big family reunion to celebrate Grandpa’s 90th birthday! It was so nice seeing everyone. The weather was so beautiful in Gardena! So nice and breezy.. every weekend should be like this. :)

Some photos from my day with the family.

It’s been about a month since I last saw my college friends, so I was really looking forward to our reunion tonight! We celebrated “Dolphin’s” birthday at Malbec New Argentinean Cuisine. It was my first time trying Argentiena food and I thought it was great! I got the salmon dish, and it was just perfect. Oh, and my mint lemonade drink was delicious as well. Every dish I tried was quite yummy, and yes, I tried almost every single one!

We had an early 5pm dinner because 7pm was booked. By the time we left… every table was filled! Wow. I highly recommend this restaurant, and I think many other people will to. :)

After dinner, we saw I Love You, Man!. Funny.. funny movie. Loved it.

And before heading home, we had top stop for some boba tea of course! We all decided to have the peppermint tea. Yum. It was a great Saturday night!

@Albert gave me an Annual Pass to Disneyland for my birthday! And I gave one to my sister for her birthday. :) The three of us spent all of Sunday at the parks together. It was tons of fun!

My sister was 3-years old when she last went to Disneyland.. so she didn’t remember anything. We got to show her all the good rides! Surprisingly, the lines weren’t that bad, we’ve just become experts on what rides to go on. haha The longest wait was about 25 minutes!

There’s a really fun new ride at Disney’s California Adventure called Toy Story Midway Mania. It’s now one of my favorites.

Anyhow, I can’t wait to go back to Disneyland. There’s still some new rides that I haven’t been on yet… like Nemo!

I had a great birthday! Lena came over and gave me flowers, and we spent the day at the beautiful Victoria Gardens! Qi met up with us to do some window shopping. He also went to exchange his iPhone at the Apple store.

While waiting, Lena asked the Apple Genius Guy, “since it’s my friend’s birthday, can she have a free iPhone?” Unfortunately, he turned us down. heh He did like my Chocolate iPod Touch case though. :)

I had a great day spending it my two very good friends!

What a fun Friday night! After chatting with Cali, I went out to Qi’s birthday dinner. He’s a very good friend of mine since college!

What had a nice big dinner at Restaurant Kamon and then went to Guppy House for big desserts! ;)

Happy Birthday Albert!!

I planned a birthday dinner for my husband.. and I thought it turned out great. We haven’t seen our friends in months, so it was a nice reunion! We went to Lighttown House, a Korean BBQ restaurant, for dinner. I was worried that the tables were too small, but they had a nice special set up for us, that did fit 24 people. Amazing.

After dinner, we stood in the parking lot chatting like we usually do. haha Finally, we went bowling at Linbrook Bowling Center. Again, I was worried we may not get any lanes. But when we arrived, we saw that this place had 40 lanes… and didn’t even have to wait more than 10 minutes! Awesome.

We played 3 rounds.. and boy were we tired after! It was such a fun night. Glad everyone could make it!

Albert got two birthday cakes because he’s special. haha Thanks Lena!

My sweet niece. She’s growing up so quickly! And growing more adorable each day.

Special thanks to my Protagonist Board friends for coming — Herbert, Charles, Naim, and Matt!
