This post has been way past overdue considering we went on this trip to Washington, D.C. last weekend. It would've been amazing if: 1. it wasn't so crowded, 2. had such little room, and 3. if Mother Nature had made its mind about the weather. It was literally on and off raining, hailing, thunderstorming (if that's a word), then sunshine. I guess I'm complaining till this day because I was wearing flats. Talk about unprepared.

Otherwise, it was beautiful and we had a pretty eventful 25 (straight awake) hours.

In a nutshell: woke up 4:30AM, left the house @ 6AM, got on the highway around 7AM, got lost, arrived in Washington around 2/3PM, left the festival around 4/5PM, drove to get Roy Rogers (since there are none here) then got home around 9/10PM, only to get ready for my boyfriend's sister's bestfriend's belated 21st party at Hudson Terrace. Stayed there until they closed: 4:30AM. Drove to 53rd & 6th for halal food, and got into bed @ 5:30AM.

So much for the nutshell.

Yeah, yeah. I'm a bit whiney, but hey - staying awake for so long can really mess a person up.

P.S. I'm in love with this photo. And not just because it's of me & him.

I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way.

What better way to spend a beautiful 70 degree weather day outside of the city, taking a roadtrip with the people you cherish the most (besides driving in a convertible with the top down, and maybe with my family members too, but who's complaining)?

My favorite part of the day besides the weather? Walking past Hermes 3 times, inside jokes and constant giggling, court food (YUUUM for fake Chinese!), and getting lost in Clinton (FYI: the ghetto. Thank goodness we didn't take the big, shiny Lexus. But I digress.) and ending the day with what other diner than ol' faithful Vegas.

Next time I go, definitely going for the cheesesteaks. Gino's and Pat's isn't ready for little Asian girls with big appetites all running on the same cycle.

TMI?

It's gonna be legen - wait for it - DADDY.

Thanks to Memosne for passing on The Stylish Blogger Award. One of the rules is to pass it on, but I'll sleep on who I'll do that to. The other rules are to thank the person who passed it onto you (check) and brag list 7 embarrassing things about yourself, so here it goes:

1. I love doing housewife chores.
2. I'm all for female empowerment.
3. I have a dangerous, bank-breaking obsession with shoes. So far, I 've got about 40.
4. Forever 21 stores confuse me. And so does their sizing. So I don't shop there.
5. Foreign horror movies over everything.
6. I don't do clubs and alcohol. Cuddling and/or horror movies indoors does it for me on a Friday night.
7. I'm an awkward turtle. As awkward as it gets - that would be me.

Philly in the AM, goodnight New York City!

Across the Pond...

Over the weekend, I had the last brunch with my girl, Stephanie aka le luxe rubbish. She's leaving across the pond to London to study abroad from NYU a couple of years. Lucky bitch.

Ever since I met you, all you've been talking about is going there and now, you are! You saved up all that money and here's your chance to blow it all and when you do, at least you know it's all worth it. Be safe, have fun, I love you, and we'll miss ya.
