fab five Friday {8/23}

Here are some highlights of this week!

+ Chinatown summer nights

it's supposed to be a summer festival but it seemed more like a Chinese New Year festival (which was cool too). 

+ my old friend's bridal shower. so happy for her for finding her happiness!

my team won the tissue paper wedding dress contest!

+ so happy to see my good friends (who I just don't see enough!)

doesn't she look like Halle Barry?! so sophisticated. 

+ i haven't been able to visit my niece cuz i was sick, so my brother sent over a photo. just can't get enough of her! she looks like she's taking a selfie here lol

weekend reading

Fab five canceled for today because I'm sick as a dog. I feel like a truck ran me over five times and someone set me ablaze while blowing cold AC air on me. Ah dear. Thank goodness for weekend. I leave you with some funsies for the weekend. There would've been more but I fell asleep at 8pm last night organizing links. 

i'm obsessed with this topic, why women should stop trying to be perfect

this is kinda cool: abandoned walmart is now america's largest library

so hilarious: rappers & cereal

Happy weekend! 

fab five friday {8/2}

i can't believe it's already august. august is officially my most favorite month because it is hubs and mine birthday month. and also the month of a lot of my friends' birthdays!

ready for this friday's fab five? cuz i got a chock-ful of goodies to share! it's been a good week.

+ brunch with some g'ole friends at plate 38

pulled pork sandwich

three meat omelette

my pulled-pork sandwich turned out to be more like a burger, and hub's three meat omelette was so speechlessly delicious that he didn't even leave me a bite to try. the food was so good but the portions were too just-right. and honestly, the service wasn't as stellar as the first time we went. but we still had a good time.


+ hubs and my new FAVORITE food/piggin' out place bruxie

creme brulee waffle sandwich + irish nachos

+ i saw this at borders and was so tempted to get it but i have too much toys already

+ hubs and my new FAVORITE coffee shop: dripp. it's in the same plaza as bruxie and they specialize in coffee and ice cream and dessert. they are actually kinda a coffee snob but we like it anyways (even though i'm not a big coffee person).

+ and finally, i took 2 days off of work to take my parents to the doctors' this week. it was a busy 2 days but it was still a nice break from work. short work week, yay!
