The later summer got, the more antsy I got about wanting to learn to surf. So far it had been the only resolution that I hadn't at all attempted. Eric was a little hesitant because he was out of practice and we only had one board, but I finally convinced him.

About a month ago we took our first trip out to Manhattan beach. Obviously I was awful: I ( Read more... )

Another late one.

As I posted previously, the Fundraiser was a success. We raised a total of $3000 including the online donation site. I'm proud of all the support and all the help we received, and glad it's over. Christine is in Illinois with Lorna and the rest of the family; she was able to give Lorna the gift I mentioned briefly in an previous ( Read more... )

My photography has been really picking up lately. Last weekend, I dropped off two photographs at Pilates and Arts for their HOT! HOT! HOT! art opening/dance party. It's this Friday from 7-10 pm. This is the art opening that inspired my Monthly Adjective Project. Eric's also going to be showing a painting.

Part 2

Aside from visiting Hemingway, the only other touristy thing I really wanted to do this trip was to snorkel. I used to snorkel more often here at home, usually at the coves of Laguna beach, lately it's been money for gas and time off from work keeping me from continuing. I know my tio Victor, Tia Idania, Mayito and Vitico are all snorkelers. ( Read more... )

Part 1

Last month I took a trip with my moms for a week to Cuba. My step mom Ysied is from Cuba, and most of her family still lives there. Despite that it was only a week long, it was a really great trip and so different from other vacations.

I'm going to do this a little differently, there will be this post journaling the trip, and the next post ( Read more... )

This'll be a quick resolution recap, I didn't do very much of anything I planned to do in March. I did do a whole lot of other things.

I didn't get my Etsy shop open; Eric has been really busy working with the skateboard company Shredder's Lair. I have started finally making a few pair of earrings, but I'm going to hold off on the Etsy shop for ( Read more... )

Oh god I'm so terrible about blogging regularly. In all fairness I've done a whole lot in the past couple of weeks.

For now I'm going to try and sum all the photography stuff up simply in this post.

In the last post I mentioned photographing the Bridge to Books event Get A Clue. It was a middle grade mystery event in where the kids got to interact ( Read more... )

So busy, oh mah lawd so busy.

The Art Show was fun, it always is, but a lot of my friends showed up to support me and that always feels nice. I stood back and got to watch as complete strangers scoped out and complimented my photo amongst their friends. I made sure to ninjacam a woman (for proof and stuff).

My neighbor Tannis (who asked me to ( Read more... )

I've really made it a point this year to try and break my patterns, step out of my shell. Recently we had an open mic at work, I decided to read this poem I wrote years ago. Despite the fact that I was so nervous I nearly threw up (and a patron friend kept teasing me about the event on twitter all day), it went really well. People apparently really ( Read more... )

Another late post, apologies. This'll be mostly pictures anyway ( Read more... )
