Illiana's First time at the Zoo!

[ Watching: Monster-in-law ]

Went for a visit to the zoo on a freebie day, first wednesday of the month. It is Illiana's first trip to the Zoo, since she still isn't aware of EVERYTHING yet; she didn't have much of an interest on it. But she did have some wandering eyes, I can't wait until we come back again when she's bigger and know what is going on! haha...

Had to take a picture with Cesar mang! lol

Enjoy! Have a great weekend loves!

Halloween 2011

Happy Halloween 2011! From my familia to you.

It was Illiana's very FIRST halloween, as you know halloween is my favoritest holiday; so we HAD to get her in her very first ever costume. She was our little cow and we were the boring farmers.

I manage to grow Juls some scruff to go with the costume. Since he can't grow any scruff on his own within a day or EVER, lol. Of course had to make him dirty as if he were in the fields hard at work with his little cow.

Don't mind my makeup, at work was Fairy inspired; I didn't have enough time to take off my makeup because I had just gotten off work and threw on a farmer plad shirt I had and we headed out the door to trick-or-treat with Illi.

Hope everyone had a great halloween this year. Time is FLYING before my eyes, Illiana is already 9 months! It's unbelievable! (:

Michael Buble Concert

[ Watching: Suits ]

Hey guys,

So recently I went to my 2nd concert ever, which was to MICHAEL BUBLE! I love him. His voice is so soothing and heart melting. Juls manage to get tickets for us to go to his concert in San Jose HP Pavilion.

The concert was great, but it felt like the anticipation was a lot longer than the concert ITSELF. I had a great DATE NIGHT with my hubs.

DIY: From old to new

[ Wynter Gordon - Til Death ]

Before

After

So yesterday Juls and I had to do our every monthly ritual and clean the bathroom, it was startin to get nastyyy up in there. We stopped by Lowes real quick because he needed a spray paint for his new punching bag he recently purchased (he wanted to paint the latches and pole with a setting coat to prevent rust). And since we were there already I mentioned to Juls how I've been wanting to refurbish our old ass bathroom cabinet that looks so tacky. Whenever I go into the bathroom I don't even wanna be in there because the cabinets are that hideous. haha.. Juls agreed and so we searched for a right color, took us a while; but I manage to choose a nice dark purple. Our bathroom walls and tiles are shades of nudes, I didn't want too bright of a color; to balance out the boring nudes I felt a nice cool dark tone would do.

Here is how it went down, the process begins...

2 Cans of Primer (because our cabinet is longer)

Next is your choice in color (2 cans to be exact), I chose the quick drying one so I don't have to wait for days to air out our bathroom. Btw, be sure to use 3M tape to tape off any areas you don't want painted; also for crisp lining.

Lastly, a quick dry clear sealing paint ( like a top coat); we chose a Satin finish. We're tired of the matte deal.

Voila!

Hope you guys enjoy, have an awesome day! Toodles

Gilroy Garlic Festival 2011

[ Watching: George Lopez ]

So this pass weekend was the Gilroy Garlic Festival, it's a festival consisting of all food with the star ingredient garlic, music, events, and prizes. The weather was hot and it was PACKED with people. It's like an hr & 10 minutes drive from the city, but we we're stuck in jam packed traffic for an extra hour! So that sucked.

I started to daydream off because I was hungry and tired...

Illiana had fallen asleep half way there which was a relief for us, but she ended up waking up once we had hit traffic jam.

Juls concentrating on the road, there were plenty of idiot drivers out that day.

Since it was so packed and freakin scorching out under the sun we found ourselves a nice shaded spot to chill and enjoy our food. Illiana hella caught me snapping photos of her (with broccoli stuck on her mouth still).

Daddy enjoying the Special Plate of the day from the hawaiian/asian booth.

Special Plate consist of 1 skewer of teriyaki chicken, 1 skewer of beef teriyaki, 1 veggie egg roll, fried rice, and chow mein. The chicken teriyaki was really good! And the veggie egg roll was on point.

We also decided to try the Tamale booth, it was pretty good; and I'm not that huge of a fan for tamales because it's so similar to the chinese Lotus Leaf Sticky Rice that I can't get pass the fact it's not. haha... Juls liked it tho.

Oh yea, I failed to mention I fell and scraped the shit outta my leg; there were so many hidden pot holes under the grassy harsh hay that my wedge caught into one and I fell knee forward. And it happened while we were walking TO the festival from the parking lot, so it was burning through out my whole day. Sucked balls and it still hurts like a bitch.

On a brighter note, I will leave you guys with Illi's 'MOB' face look.

Happy Weekend!

Good luck surviving the incoming week loves. You're not alone.

Where have I been

[ Watching: E! Exclusive - Nicki Minaj ]

Hello,

I know I've been kind of missing these pass couple of days, Illiana got sick somehow; and it turned into a very bad fever, then into a very bad viral infection. We visited the ER like 3 nights in a row and by the 3rd time the hospital decided to hospitalize her so they can take care of her. Juls and I stayed by her side the entire time. Here is the ER where we been in multiple early mornings.

By the time we got admitted to our room it was like 6 in the morning, very dark. Here is the crib they had set up for Illiana. Looks like a jungle cage don't it? There must be some aggressive babies.

When we finally got admitted to our room we have a little television set to keep us sane.

Parents' wrist band tags to make sure we are the only ones and there aren't any impostors trying to steal our baby. You'll be surprise the crimes of people.

Finally a photo Illiana with daddy (Juls), this is when she has gotten A LOT better; she looked so much worst before. We were so worried. The feeling of feeling helpless when seeing your child suffering is the most horrible feeling ever.

But I'm so glad she is okay now, she's all playful and happy again! So that is the update on me, but don't worry! I will keep up with my postings! I hope you guys had a great weekend! Stay up and make it through another fresh week everyone! Take Care.

Breakfast + Diet? Kind of

So if you didn't know by now, BREAKFAST (yea the meal in the morning) is the most important meal of the DAY. That is because it gets your day started and keeps you full throughout MAJORITY of your day. Hint: for the kids who are trying to lose some weight, many people eat breakfast as if its dinner so they are full to function for the rest of the day; hence no over eating. And since you had just woken up your stomach hasn't expanded to it's full capacity therefore you won't be inhaling the food in the morning. I admit, I don't eat breakfast all the time; hell, most of the time (I know, hella bad). But I am really trying to start eating in the morning and not late night, that's my biggest enemy; eating at night. Everyone has their weakness rather it's sweets, starchy food, carbs; eating when bored. ITS NORMAL, shit happens; don't whack yourself over the head with a frying pan over it.

Just try to change the bad habits, if you eat late like me - eat early from here on. You love sweets, switch up the fatty sweets to good sweets (fruits, low fat yogurts, no calorie candy, splenda!, NO FRUIT JUICES - THEY ARE FATTENING). Cut down carbs and starchy food, if you CAN NOT cut down; PORTIONIZE! Portioning is your best friend, I tend to portion my food now and just have many small healthier in between snacks. I'm the type that HATES working out, I mean carrying a 13.9lb baby girl around all day is enough of a workout to me. So I portion my food consumption, it's not really a diet per say; but it helps. I mean I might not be losing weight (a lot), but I am maintaining the same weight and I am fine with that. But yea, I just felt like rambling. In case some of you lovelies wonder what I do about my weight and what I eat. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Weddings

[ Jay Chou - Tui Hou ]

Yellow!

Alright so last night I had attended my friend's wedding with the hubs (Juls), we dropped off Illiana at my mom's since babies weren't invited. The wedding took place at the Fairmont hotel and it was very extravagant and gorgeous, food, could've been better in my personal taste. I barely ate anything really, the first course was raw Tuna; I never really liked tuna but I gave it a shot. It tasted alright in the beginning, then it made me sick about a quarter into the banquet :/ I knew I shouldn't have eaten it. Reception started at 6pm and by now it is 9:10pm and I am definitely not feelin good, I was cold and felt like yackin. My appetite was definitely lost. Eugh. So I went to the bathroom and shoot my mom a call to check up on Illi and see how she's behaving (since she STILL not willing to take the bottle), my mom tells me she had just woken up from her nap and started to scream & cry for bloody murder. She asks me to come back immediately and feed her, because she would NOT take the bottle at all. I think that also added onto my nausea, I was feelin nervous and worried of her all night from the start because I knew she wouldnt take the bottle and I was afraid this will happen. So Juls and I had to leave early and headed out to pick up Illi from my moms. But overall the setting and set up of the wedding is very classy and nice.

Gold Room; Ballahhhh (:

Juls and I with
