Day: Started the day hanging out around The Walk for some shopping.

Evening: Went to Formica Bakery to buy some fresh bread.  They have a cafe store front, but you can buy loafs of bread, baguettes, and hoagies anytime and any day at their bakery all the way in the back through the alley.  The smell of fresh baked bread is an inviting smell to those who have not experienced that.

Task: To make 30 centerpieces, main vases and more.  Tram does a great job with floral arrangements.  We had called it a night around 4am while she stayed up till 6am working on them.

During our Phillie walk around Chinatown, I was able to get to know my Uncle Loi and his daughter Sophie Nhu.  Nhu is the sweetest little girl and a neat freak.  I am very happy to see my Uncle be so complete.

Borgata's Club, Mur Mur does Mur Mur Mondays.  Some of my gals came out and we had a blast of dancing the night away!

Airport: Left at 5:15am. Morning coffee and breakfast at Austin java in ABIA with a good friend. (We both had to fly out) Southwest Airlines always give great customer service!! At Houston Airport, I had to get some latte from Peet's Coffee & Tea.

Random: I like the sign I saw while enjoying my 2 hour layover.

Philidelphia: Landed. Not much sight seeing here because I had to meet up the gals to eat my late lunch/dinner.  Wendy's daughter, Breanna, can never get my name right. Amy is close enough. That girl can work an iPhone better than most people I know! Huong's daughter, Kim Ngan (gray), is so smart and dieu! I love them both! We always eat at Nam Phuong , their family package is always a good deal! Bo Luc Lac here with watercrest has been and will be my favorite here.

Family: My cousin, Rosita, has the cutest baby girl, Emmabelle. I still can not believe she's expecting her baby boy in December!

Recap:  It has been a little over a year and a half since I have been back up here.  I enjoy seeing my family and friends here.  Off to bed early to hit the boardwalk for my jog!  <3 the ocean!

Part 1 Image Gallery of Work, Garden, Boombox - Yee Haw!

                     

Work: The usual day at the liquor store.  If you follow me Lawnee then you'll find out how bored I got when I find a cowboy hat and sit in front of a camera.

Errand: The Great Outdooes Nursery Took my mother to go buy some orchids here.  I always enjoy seeing different unique plants they bring in (we buy a lot of them) and how they decorate it around statues of Buddha.  There was a Thailand Super Size Elephant Ear that I had to take a picture with just to show how big the leaf was.

Break: Went to Fair Bean Coffee for my usual Tortilla Espanol Italian Sausage with Fresh Red to drink.  Did some work and read. Chilled there for a while before the concert.

Concert: The Parish Room Went to see Amongst the Oaks & Ashes, A Fine Frenzy and Landon Pigg perform.  They were awesome! Event Landon played a new song and his Coffee Shop with A Dress to Kill. A Fine Frenzy rocked it! She ended her night with Almost Lover which I thought was the best song through out the whole night.  This event is their first event to kick off their fall tour. Please note that the pictures from the concert is from Jeni.

Found out that I had experience claustrophobia where I had experienced some of the symptoms. Boo! Never had I experienced that before and I have been to many events where space is tight.  I just needed to get some fresh air and not stand too close to the stage. I like standing close to the stage. :)

After the concert, I somehow found myself at Lucky Lounge watching Boombox perform on their regular Tuesdays.  I had a blast hanging out with Oscar and Breanne!

Recap: This Tuesday was jammed packed! Work, errands, friends, concerts and drinking. Washed my car thinking it will rain on Wednesday.  Nope!  I needed the car wash anyways, it was glittered with bugs from my drive this past weekend. Went to two concerts and enjoyed both! I went with great friends and had a blast. I learned this time aroung that concerts always do well with Blue Moon. :)

Morning breakfast : Torchy’s Tacos. http://www.torchystacos.com/

Lunch: First Chinese BBQ. Got roast duck and pork. http://www.firstchinesebbq.com/

Work: Got some new tequila shaped as a bullet. Crazy. Hijos de Villa Bullet Reposado Tequila

Field Trips: Cu Lon & Cu Quay (tan)

Music: Today went well with Owl City. Their album Ocean Eyes is actually really good. http://www.myspace.com/owlcity

Recap: Did not do yoga today because I had to slang booze for 11 hours.  I am hoping that I can wake up in time to attend Keith’s session of Vinyasa at Dharma Yoga.  It did feel a bit weird to not be doing yoga or jogging today.  Though a day of rest is always good. I do not want to over exert my body. Gradual workout and healthy eating is key albiet I did not eat healthy today.

   I am still debating about my return date in November. Finally I got the 'go' to decided.  I am also officially registered 2009 Atlantic City 51^st Marathon participant. I had registered Rosita and I and crossing my fingers that everyone else did too.  Rosita is pregnant therefore we are doing the benefit walk (2 miles).  If anyone else is interested in joining, here is the link: http://bit.ly/E8YhE . This is for a good cause like any other benefit event.  The more the merrier!

  I have a friend in Philadelphia that I would love to catch up with. Then couple of friends in NYC to have lunch/dinner.  I am having problems trying to find a place to stay within budget.  I have to remember that I will be part of my Rosita’s baby shower and Emmabelle’s 1^st birthday.  I also have to get something for Jaiden’s 1^st birthday that I will not be able to attend at the end of the month.  I need to get a gift for my cousin’s wedding that 11^th and keep in mind that I do eat out a lot there.

  I have a wedding I have to attend the 17^th in Houston. This way I can spend time with my girls on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday evening I will be my good friend’s date and then catch up some more on our lives.  I still cannot believe we have been friends for 7 years. Though I am not surprised because I have many friendships that are 7+ yrs long.  I love and appreciate all my friends.  Without them, life is just plain and dull like  a plain breakfast taco. Must spice up our life like having soming yummy Torchy's Tacos!

Sony PS3.
Hot Sauce Store. They had tastings in the back.



Goodpop is actually really good.
Got Shrooms?

Local Art.
Nancy and Allen.
To tell the truth, the only thing I was looking forward to was funnel cake. Funnel cake makes me happy. :) After a rough week, I deserve this sweet, in moderation of course. That means I shared when we all know I can inhale it.


Snake. Had to pet it.



Alamo Drafthouse for dinner & movie with Allen, Nancy, Jeni and Tienman.

Recap: It was a Sunday Funday! Hung out with my sister the whole day. Pecan Festival, Wholefoods, Alamo Drafthouse and ended the night with Blue Moon. Blue Moon just ties the night nicely. :)
