New York bounded. Took the Bally's Bus toward Chinatown.

First Stop: Joe'sShanghai for my lunch/dinner.  Their soup dumplings...... are a must!

Snacks: Cafe Sambuca for my cognac pumpkin cheesecake and latte. Then off to Snacky's for my Red Velvet.  I cut my cupcake in half adn eat it like a tiny sandwich.  It makes the whole ratio of cake and icing better!

Drinks: Yello is the one bar that I always end up at every time I venture up to the city,  From my lychee drinks, playing dice, chai mui and singing my heart out, I am always at home here.

Taxi: It is never too hard to get a taxi to come your way.  I love how their is a touch screen in the back seat for my entertainment.

Recap: It's nice to see my best friend and all familiar faces again. 

                   

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!

                         

Lunch: Together This place is a little restaurant that serves good Korean food! Their seafood pancake is good compared to other places I have been.  I admit that I had wrote this place off when Jeni mentioned it.  I am glad that she made me realize this place is awesome! Please note, they do not close till 2am, even better! Lunch was a nice trio with Jeni and Ricky.  Liz missed out on some tummy yummy!

Dinner: North First time trying this place.  Got the pork tenderloin and flank steak. It was raining outside and they had the placed opened.  Too bad there was no breeze and made the restaurant humid.  If I have to glisten while I eat, of course I can not enjoy my food.  I gave the place 3 out of 5 stars overall.  The food could be better.  Jeni told me their pasta is good, so I have to give that place another try.

Desserts: Halycon How can I not end my night sweetly? Thi and I went to go grab some good lattes and s'mores after dinner.  Jeni met us up after she attended Gary Vaynerchuk's book signing.

Recap: This rainy day was accompanied by some food, desserts and good friends.  I am not complaining at all.

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. :)
