July 2, 2010 -- One Year Anniversary

Today was Felix and mine's one year anniversary :) <3. While waiting for him to come pick me up my cousins and grandma visited.
My grandma's new chihuahua, Kischke. She prefers to call him Kiki.


My adorable cousin <3.

Felix and I picked up Christina to take her to her gallery opening. I absolutely loved going! I love walking around open galleries and studios, it's so inspiring.


Here's inside the gallery where Christina's artwork was featured, along with other workers of the gallery. Each artist had one of their pieces on display.





Christina's photo on display in the gallery :). Her book was also on display in the front of the room, showing the entire story/collection.


This was a really cool piece. The whole picture was a really cool 3d effect. I'm not sure what the material used was called, but it almost looked like a smooth waxy surface... I'll have to ask Christina and see if she remembers!

We then went on to look at the open studio spaces.
A really cool artist named John Gonnella painted this piece of Felix the Cat. It's not finished, but when we saw it we had to have a picture of Felix with it! Hahaha.


Will and JJ showed up before we left.

Afterwards Felix and I went over to Dali's for dinner in Somerville. It was our first time trying out this tapas restaurant, and I really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was very intriguing. Although the building looks small from the outside, don't let it it fool you-- the restaurant is quite big. Inside is furnished with wooden chairs and latin-inspired tiled tables. The walls were covered with many Spanish influenced decorations. I wanted to take photos of the restaurant, but didn't want to disturb other customers and draw attention with a bright flash inside the dark restaurant; the only light we really had was from candles placed on every table.
Please excuse the poor quality photos!







Before we left we decided to grab a quick snapshot with flash of our dessert-- batter covered strawberries with ice cream!

Camwhore time <3.



"Deer in headlights" expressions hahaha.


Felix, this year has gone by so fast. Although we've only been together for one year, it feels like so much longer. I'm so thankful for your patience (when you have it), and how kind you are to me. Even if we have times where we upset each other, we're able to move on quickly because nothing can stop our feelings for each other. With each day our love grows, and I'm happy to spend my time with you. You mean so much to me, more than you probably realize. Thank you for always being there for me <3.

Sorry, another short post!
Bought a dress for my 1 year anniversary with Felix.
Dress from Forever 21.

Also picked up two books from Barnes & Noble. I went to get my favorite magazine, Z!NK, but they didn't have the new issue out yet.
I'm excited to try out the homemade facial masks in Babushka's Beauty Secrets

Felix showed me the outfit he wore to meet the head of HR at his new job.
Yes, my 20 year old boyfriend has a framed poster of Pokemon in his bedroom... Lol <3.

And a cute wall decoration with kittens. Disregard my toe in the corner.

Working the asian persuasion on me, hahaha.

And to end this post tonight I'll share a short clip of Gizmo before she was shaved.

Short post today. The boyfriend and I were invited to go see a free screening of The Last Airbender.
Outfit of the day!

Tank tops - Old Navy
Shorts - H&M
Gladiators - Cynthia Vincent for Target
Necklace - Forever 21

Met up with Eddie, his girlfriend Roseanne, and Eddie's co-worker. The movie was horrible. Seriously. The acting was pathetic and the lines were horrendously hilarious. Granted, I went just to see the cool effects and action, but the terribleness of the movie just overpowered any potential level of coolness that it could have had. I would never pay to see it, and I'm so glad we didn't have to. Really though, everyone was bursting out laughing when scenes weren't meant to be funny. And to top it off, I fell asleep around the middle-end of the movie.

Afterwards Felix and I headed over to Penang for dinner. We needed something to be worth our time and trip to Boston, seeing as the movie was a total fail.

Went home right after dinner.

June 28, 2010 -- Shaved Kitty

My cat Gizmo had gone missing for a whole day. We found her outside around 3 in the morning. The next morning my mom and I decided she needed a serious cleaning for the summer. We cut her knots out, trimmed her nails, and shaved her once long and beautiful fur. After spending over 2 hours shaving Gizmo we gave her a refreshing bath.

She looks like she's about to bitch slap my mom with her chubby paw, lol.


She's so skinny now :(! It looks like Gizmo shed 20 pounds. I think she should model in those weight loss advertisements on TV.

Last night finally got a picture of the moustache house that we always drive by on the way to Porter!

Spent the day with May and Juliana in Boston!
Met up with May near Downtown Crossing.

While we waited for Juliana to come, we hung around in Macy's.
This is Feefs' long lost brother :P. Hehe


The H&M mannequins on display look so Gaga-esque.

We went to eat at Samurai nearby. Forgot to take photos of the restaurant, we were too deep in conversation.

Afterwards we thought it was going to start raining so we went to see the movie Grown Ups with Adam Sandler, Kevin James,  Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider, and Salma Hayek. Salma played Adam Sandler's wife, a famous fashion designer. I liked her's and Chris Brown's characters best. The movie was filled to the brim with great comedy, as you'd expect from the cast. 
However, there was an interesting, touching underlying meaning to the movie-- parents reconnecting with their children.  It's important for ourselves to take time away from our hectic schedules and connect with our families. Today it seems families are growing farther apart with little interest or care in each other. To see the fathers and mothers trying to build stronger bonds with their kids was great. Today our younger generations are getting so tied into technology that they lose touch with reality. Kids don't play outside or use their  imagination like they used to. Watching the parents teach their kids how to play like they used to was very touching and warmed my heart.

Went to DK after the movie while we waited for Juliana's boyfriend to pick her up.
Coconut Red Bean shake, mmm :).

May and I had the same train ride home, so we kept each other company.
