Mauna Kea, Hawaii

About 14,000ft in elevation. I even did a photo shoot in shorts ;)

I got leid.

I thought you'd get leid once you get off the airplane, but it costs a few bucks at the terminal. Hehe. Thankfully, Jeff's sister surprised us with leis when she picked us up.

We went boogie boarding. I wiped out hard and hit my head after my board dove under the water. Ouch.

We went to a calmer beach where sea turtles rested.. We saw 3 of them and i also took some cool photos without the tripod. The sunset was nice too..

Oh, i found a Louis Vuitton boutique :) lol.

Just arrived in Hawaii!!

Wooo!! It's too hot out here. Lol. :D

Richard Prince for Louis Vuitton & downtown San Francisco

Ahh.. Last night was fun.. Me and jeff went around downtown San Francisco one more time (probably our last before we move back to the east coast).

Had dinner outside on the roof of MACY's at the Cheesecake Factory.

Shopped at Ruehl and got some killer sale items, like this striped sweater with cashmere blend and flipflops.

I got Timbaland's designed shirt at H&M in white and this dj headphones & cassette necklace with the bling on it. Had to get it. Lol.

And after dinner at the Cheesecake Factory.. It was a bit too late to get in Louis Vuitton, it was closed. Sad. And i took it as a sign that it was over for me in SF.

I did happen to go to Marc Jacobs looking for one of the new Jute dyed totes.. But i didnt know they sold them at Marc By Marc Jacobs!! Arggggghh!! And it was on the other side of town. Damn. Ive never visited the Marc by Marc store at all on SF. Sigh. I really wish i knew..

So yah. I want that Louis Vuitton weekender bag in yellow/blue. It's fuckin' hot!! :D

I love balloons :D

Aww.. One of my co-workers left a balloon for me today :)

Patrick cuts my hair!

Hehe. It looks great.. Thanks :)

Yay! Front page material :)

Look! It's me and jeff on the front page.

Hair perfection.

Oh snap :)

Non Fat

LOL. this photo was taken of me when i was at the airport here in eureka, in cali.. in December.. when i was leaving for North Carolina for the holidays..

DAMMIT! i knew those photographers were following me around that day. hahahahah. and I TOTALLY KNEW THEY WERE TAKING PHOTOS OF ME.. i was like trying to hide myself from the paparazzo's taking a good shot of me as i was checking in and waiting at the gate. haha.

like my suitcase trolley? with the cross stitch pattern i spray painted myself a while ago..

and yes, that's Jeff :)
(did you know today's our anniversary?)

FINALLY! you can shop RUEHL online for the 1st time ever!

You were able to shop the stores if you were able to search for them... I'm wearing one of their shirts in the pic above....

Ruehl is a branch store from the Abercrombie & Fitch Co., think of it as another hollister store.. but with a different style. it's more of a suburban city style compared to hollister's Huntington Beach and california style.

Click here and check out their clothes!!

so you want to know what the store looks like?

click here and check out the other photos i've taken of the store!

one thing about Ruehl is that their clothes are comparable to Abercrombie & Fitch's clothing, but i think the Ruehl clothes might be more expensive. But it depends on what your looking at. I remember that there was a shirt that was stitched with leather and other materials and it retailed for about a $100. so yeah... but you should check out their sales. OMG. i got almost 75% off during a sale one time when i was in the store.... and unfortunately there aren't any sales online.. obviously...

and here's a sneakpeak of Abercrombie & Fitch Co.'s newest store: Gilly Hicks. They're going to be selling underwear.

This is for my friends in California & those old friends of mine back in North Carolina..

well it's been fun knowing you all as i lived in this crazy state. LOL.

totally different than what i had expected..

i'll miss all of my friends that i had made and met over the course of the year or so...

and a bit disappointed to my online friends that i was hoping to get starbucks with, but never did happen..

i will be going to Hawaii in 2 weeks... i still have yet to pack, and i've already started packing and taking stuff off of the walls here in my apartment..

i know i've been busy and i havent been on myspace as often as i was before.. ive been just working at starbucks alot and just busy with other things such as my ONLINE CLASSES which i've been procrastinating.. so i havent had time to go out and see friends since i just dont have time and it never works out anyways depending on both schedules.

so............

if you're in the area, come visit me at starbucks and say hi or figure out something to see me.. because i dont have time to call everyone up and make plans.. i have too much plans already having to deal with the move and figuring out how to transfer and all of that stuff over there.

and one thing i want to straighten out about humboldt county....

yes, i do hate this place and i hate most of the people that live here.
but, i do not hate the friends that i've made here! :)
yes, i'm glad i'm leaving... (FINALLY dammit!!!)
..but the only place that's north california that i'll be visiting in the future.. is San Francisco... (maybe sacramento..)

you should be willing to come visit me on the east coast in the future.. and those friends that do not forget who i am and the personality i have will fly or EVEN TRY to see me. and that's truly awesome.. unlike some friends who couldn't even bother to attempt to see me when i was visiting North Carolina for the holidays. it's pathetic. and i wont think of you as the same as before..

so yes.. this little bulletin can be a blog.. a one time blog. those that read this blog of mine will be the ones that are keeping up to date with me and who are also interested in me.. and those that simply skip out on reading this are those that i really shouldnt even bother trying to get their attention nexttime.. i have other people that are wanting to actually 'hang out' with me..

so yeah.. im done. & wish me luck.

You call this pizza?! Wtfff.

Someone offered to get lunch for the people in the office. A place called F Street Cafe in Eureka, never tried it before, but since i wasnt making the pickup, i decided to ask for a small margherita pizza after looking on their website. From their website (www.fstreetcafe.com), not showing much options on the menu.. Their photos of 'wood-fired' pizzas look photoshopped compared to this sorry-looking pizza i got for about $6. It was cold, thin, probably not fresh.

Really bad first impression you guys. You think people/customers such as myself are going to praise the foods i received or refer my friends to visit your business? Hell no. You guys need to step up your business by providing quality and presentation rather than focusing on prices just pay for building rent. Your little cafe will soon diminish just like the other small and low-performing businesses in this town.

Go ahead and say im a bitch, but based on my experiences and marketing/business-ethic skills.. I know im right. You and i know that.

Besides.. Is this business of yours for profits or pleasure? If you choose pleasure, then disregard what i said above and good luck managing the place or whatever's left of it in the future.

Its snowing!

"let's go get the sled!" i overheard a dad talking on a cellphone with his kids.

Hahahahaha. Idiot.

The ground is too warm for the snow to accumulate. Duh.

View from the Cliff House in SF

Old pic from last week i forgot to upload..

Santa Cruz is cool.

It has a very young atmosphere of teens and young adults. The town has a great downtown environment of local shops and company stores alike. I was surprised that there were teens running around downtown at like 11pm at night. Heh. I call it a very modern hippie town.

I thought it was potpourri.

Its actually vegetable chips called Terra Chips. Weird, but so good.

Run over them pedestrians.

Earlier today, this one old geezer gave us a dirty look as we were stopped at an intersection as he walked in front of us. Lol. We gave a look back. Haha. We should've acellerated a little bit to scare him off. Wow. Im like drunk with power in this Hummer H3 and im NOT even driving it. Hahahaha. :D

I want a Hummer H3!

So im riding in one right now.. Its smaller inside than what i expected, but its a smaller hummer. Heh. My friend rented one, he's visiting from Virginia.
