it all goes, it all goes by

went to this new little japanese place in anaheim hills today called Tokyo Love with my stepsister. i know its not a real restaurant, and i actually didn't try to the food, i did try the strawberry mochi ice cream. along with it being delicious, it was so cute!

i have to say, i have taken a great liking to japanese culture, not just because of some little japanese takeout place though, just to clarify.

so i was looking through all these newly found old photo albums that had gotten thrown into a closet in the house, and i came across this picture of my dad and aunt when they were kids. the thing that caught my eye about it though was my dad's red windbreaker.

it reminded me of this american apparel polyester a-way jacket that i've had my eye on recently, though i wish they made it in red like the one he is wearing.

theres a flower in your hair

my boyfriend's green-eyed dog, buddy, aka shithead. cutest thing ever.

im turning into such a cheeseball. first sunsets, now puppies. oh well, i cant help it. he's so cute!

this picture just made me laugh.

i know anyone who reads this must be thinking, no one gives a shit about your boyfriend's dog, but as my little brother told me yesterday after snagging my seat, "too bad, so sad."

excuse my slight mean streak, but i figured you should know that part of me also :)

i think of you whenever life gets me down

i've been a bit sad and under the weather yesterday and the night before since thursday was the day he was off to san francisco and i won't be seeing him for a few months now.

it's quite difficult to go from seeing a person on a daily basis to not even a monthly basis.

but i'll get through it without a doubt.

(i really reccomend this one!)

And when you reach up and clear away the stars i will be there where you are

what can i say? i'm a sucker for a gorgeous sunset.

especially at the beach. one matter where cliche will not be a part of my vocabulary.

i'm even good with a crisp blue sky. i found it amazing how the cloud quite clearly resembled the figure of a dove.

and after this, i will add the beauty of the sunrise to my list. especially with the visible fog amongst the grounds of the scene.

everybody's embraced but so out of touch

going back, remembering my roots (funny how im acting like its been 10 years, when i just barely graduated), i went to support my high school xc team during their time trials.

they all did quite well, though i wish i would have gotten a shot of the girls at the start of their race.

i love how many people were out there, ready for the challenge, some more than others, though all in the same, theyre all there to reach that same destination. all the same beginning, but its their journey they create on their own, its their journey that sets them apart from the rest of their team. running is not just an experience of testing one's physical boundaries, but a matter of conquering fear and any lack of confidence or belief. it is real. there is no stopping. there is no time outs. no breaks. as soon as that gun goes off it's all you.

that's why i commend all these athletes for being there that saturday morning.

shall we call it a lesson learned?

at this point, i'm not quite sure when i took these, probably like a couple weeks ago. but anway, since time serves no importance to me, my friend oscar and i had a bit of fun with a camera and clothing.

and on the drive home

hello world

so my 18th birthday was this this past tuesday. how exciting, i'm legal!

but realistically, that makes it no different from any other birthday since i have no desire whatsoever to go out and buy a pack of cigarettes. and trouble just seems that much more acheivable in the adult world.

i woke up to a lovely sunflower (my favorite flower) at my door and a card from my boyfriend, which initially set the tone for the rest of the day though.

and i also got to eat this incredible coconut cake. mmm. another one of my favorites.

it's sad, yet noticeable how with each year your birthday seems to lose some importance, except when you reach like 100 years old,especially in hispanic families. it's like.. dammnn you made it this long off of frijoles?

but either way, it doesnt take much to make me happy :)
