MAC BOOK STYLE!

I GOT MY MACBOOK LAPTOP...!!!!!!!
my very first laptop of my own purchase
With my own earnings.
Damn, this feels good.



super liberating knowing i dont owe anything to anyone.
all me.

phew.
i feel all grown up.

SO i gave in to the 13-inch mac book but
thanks to my buddy Tim, i got the whole laptop

in such an awesome condition!!!
(there it issss the morning of the delivery...i was in PJs still and looked super bummy.
Fed Ex guy said 'now you can get started on some work this morning, huh?')



...and i got a free i-tune(i-pod touch?) whatever they are called....haha.
good stuff, but i cant even keep up with all this new
high-tech deal.
i dont think i really need this.
i can live without it.
but its an experience. why not.

Month of June...still in LA...LOVING IT!

*M Street Cafe - awesome Mocha....<3*

people mention the June Gloom and the sky definitely seems a bit foggy, gloomy, and misty these days, but I think this is the longest Ive been back here in LA and it just feels "nice". I cant emphasize how much comfort I am feeling in that one simple word "nice" but I got nothing to say about it. Things can be better as to trying to get along with the ppl u really wish they knew u - it kinda sucks when someone tells u you're pretty much dead inside - but its been good. I know my friends are here and i belong here. *thanx guys!*


me and Marc with the Stunna glasses (LOL) and there's me and Lora, 2 of the bride's Maids. =) she is so beautiful.

Theres been lots of productive things happening here as for the wedding planning, and we even got our dresses and got the EXACT COLOR becky wanted. So we made the orders and we are just on our way. Lora came down for the weekend last week to get the dress fitted and then we had the Mary Kay make-up rep come to Becky's place and we had our lil fun of make-over day. (yup, it was wuite girlie but it ended awesomely with a night fun of Frozen Yogurt and Harry Potter Game.)


*chillin before the make-over...... and there is us AFTER. Ta-daaaam
**これはベッキーとマークのアパートのリヴィングルームです。 アメリカは こんな感じですよ、凄い広くてきもちがいいの~! 

But i got to see my attorney, Ms. Seiko and had the most amazing talk session for like 4 hours, and its just been very therapeutic and soothing.
Found more Frozen Yogurt places and been on the yogurt runs. man, gotta watch the calories, my dear. haaa! not been doing much walking or running....

*Here is the photoshopped version of what we will wear for the wedding. (not the pearls.)

Im doing not too shabby. it is a nice feeling to still be here. i think im gonna go for a jog tomorrow.
