beach cruiser...

it's summer time and i am in need of a new beach cruiser. this is the year when i am actually finally going to buy one. i found one last year at walmart and saw it on sale end of last year but procrastinated in getting it. when i checked again a few months ago, they didn't have it at the store or online, but i checked today...and they have it back! so this time i'm going to get it. unfortunately they don't have it at the walmart by our place so i'm going to have to order it online and either have it shipped to a store close by are to our place.

here's the beach cruiser i plan on purchasing this weekend...


yay! i'm so excited...can't wait to buy accessories too...
...basket...light...mirror...bell...

retro hollywood home

the design team ron woodson and jaime rummerfield has turned this 1970's bungalow in laurel canyon into a hip, retro home. their signature style of rich patters, bold colors and luxe comfort can be seen throughout the space.

check it out...the patters, colors, etc all works well together.

welcome to another new week...

i'm still tired from the weekend. although i didn't really do much. but after an all day beach day yesterday from morning to evening...and after a 3hour traffic on the way home...and i was the "DD" (designated driver)...I AM EXHAUSTED !

but well worth it. and i did get sunburned. i totally forgot to apply sunblock...bad me! lesson learned.

so i'm still recovering from the weekend.

hot weekend...

it's going to be a scorcher this weekend, so we plan on relaxing at the beach... yay!

oh i wish the beach was just in my backyard. unfortunately it's about a 30+min drive, on a good day without traffic. and asides from that, we have to drive through the mountains...it's a journey...that's one thing i definitely miss about southern california...the beaches are just right there!

have a good weekend!

modern architecture home - corona del mar

when i saw these photos, i just had to post it up and share this beautiful home...the type of home i'd want to own one of these days.

this 1950's track home in corona del mar was remodeled into a modern home. the best part is that when they remodeled it, they made sure they used environmentally friendly materials. this exterior shot is amazing. i am a big fan of wood sidings. and check out those entry steps...decomposed granite. what a great alternative material.

woosaaa....

this coming thursday i have a meeting with one of our clients for a new project. normally my boss handles the meetings while i'm in the office on the computer. but since he has a meeting at the same time he asked me to go to the meeting for him...i am super nervous. i don't know what to expect. i just need to make sure i get all the information needed...

i got to take deep breathes and try not to think too much of it. he wouldn't have asked me if he didn't feel confident in me...now i just have to find that inter confidence...

*sigh*

**update**...just found out it's going to be a conference call...YAY!...slightly nervous, but not as much...

beautiful spring day...

today was a beautiful spring day here in the bay area. i had a fantastic lunch with my guy at the park. i'm fortunate enough to have a park next to my work. it was too nice outside that i had to take advantage of it.

i'm looking forward to more beautiful days like today ^_^...
