Bridges w/ Shades

So here’s a picture of my Bridges with her new tint job. I wish I would have done this sooner ‘cause it sure is making my drives a little more enjoyable.

My New Sis + Beijing

A couple of weeks ago my brother and Rose were married, Yay!! They had a simple wedding on their way up north and today I finally got pictures. I’m so happy for both of them!!

Other News: Pablo came back from his second trip to Beijing today and I just got the first pictures in. More pictures to come soon. By next week Pablo will be in Spain and then Portugal with Amanda and her family. Lucky Monkey!
A special thanks to Joanne for taking Pablo along to Beijing.

Long Beach to Bellflower

It’s that time of the year again….Yup, time for the annual Holland Festival in Long Beach. Lucca and I attended again and had a real nice time shopping for Dutch groceries and eating yummy Dutch/Indonesian food. Yum-Yum!

After the festival we had an awesome time visiting Susana and Chris in Bellflower. We talked, laughed, and had a great time playing games in their game room. Seen above: Marco watching Susana and Chris play a friendly game of Foosball.

Out & About

My Bridges finally got her windows tinted today. While we waited Lucca and I drove around Camarillo, visited the Chanel Islands University, bought some fresh fruit at a local farmer’s market, and did some shopping at the outlets. It was a real nice day to be out and about.

CPR & First Aid

Today I took a full day of CPR and First Aid which is the next step in becoming a CPR instructor for the Red Cross. I had the pleasure of talking to the doctor who taught it and got all kinds of cool tips on how to teach the class in the future. I’m so glad I took this course because I found out that a couple of things have changed since the last time I took this course (10 years ago). I can’t wait for the next step, which is to take a 3 week course on how to teach CPR/First Aid to others. This is going to be so cool!

Wedding + New Car + Brazilian BBQ

Big News: My Bother and Rose got married today!!!

Other News: Jim got himself a brand new car and it’s awesome! He got a nice little Porsche for under 5 grand and it runs great. What an awesome buy!

Lunch time news:
Yum Yum! Today we had Brazilian BBQ for lunch and OMG it was good! I had plantains and other great stuff from the buffet plus they come around with skewers of all types of meats every 10 minutes or so…man it was yummy! Did I mention it was yummy?

Leaky Marker & Pablo Pics

This is why you shouldn’t play with leaky markers.

Here are more pictures from Pablo's Egyptian trip. A special thanks to Terry and Eugenia for taking Pablo along and coming back with such awesome pictures!

Pablo in Egypt

Guess who’s back from Egypt!? Yup, that spoiled monkey, Pablo. Terry brought back some amazing pictures of Pablo and there are several more to come. I heard he had an amazing time visiting all types of temples, checking out the pyramids, sailing on the Nile, and dancing with a cobra. Go here to see more pictures of Pablo in Egypt. Woo-Hoo!

Kit-Cat & Macy's

I finally got my birthday gifts from my family yesterday. I ended up getting an awesome gift card to Macy’s (one of my favorite stores) from my folks, and a kit-cat clock from Rose and my bro. I put the clock up today; see picture above.

Revlon Run/Walk for Women

I had a wonderful time participating in the Revlon Run/Walk for Women. It was so awesome to see so many people out there running/walking for such an important cause.
The event was started by Mandy Moore and a couple of other singers. After the moment of silence Sheryl Crow started the countdown and the first group of runners took off. After a 3 miles walk we arrived to a cheering crowd, and an amazing Pat Benatar concert. Although it was nice to see a couple celebrities there it was nicer to be part of such an amazing event.

Los Toros & No Hot Fuzz

After a real long dinner at Los Toros Restaurant we rushed over to the theatre to see HOT FUZZ but sadly didn’t make it on time. We had to wait over an hour to get a table at the restaurant and then had to deal with attitude from the hostess. Grrr….. Because we missed our movie, we decided to go to the mall instead and hang out some more.

Here’s something we didn’t expect to see at Sharper Image! WTF? The Donald is selling steaks now?! LOL!

I'm 29!

This birthday turned out awesome! I got some pretty awesome gifts, sweet cards, and a poem…woohoo! Then I got my free lunch at La Capilla (a local Torrance Mexican Restaurant) complete with a free flan. So far 29 isn’t so bad.
