My home away from home. In late April my sister randomly texted me asking if Tim and I would be able to make a last-minute trip to Disneyland on May 15, 16, 21, or 22. We were good to go on the 21st,...
Hangin’ out with Jezi. About two and a half weeks ago Tim’s mom and sister went to Ohio for a whole week and asked me if I would be able and willing to housesit/petsit for them. I said ye...
Rory on his first long ass road trip. Happy Memorial Day, everyone (or whoever happens to be reading this)! I hope you’re all having a splendiforous 3-day weekend. I’ve been M.I.A. from L...
Me, my sister, Inay, and Mama. Circa 2008 Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas and aunties out there — including the ones who happen to have furry babies like dogs and cats!!! Me and my fl...
Before Tim and I got together, I constantly thought of different scenarios of how I’d meet my future boyfriend. I remember a few years ago, while walking through Golden Gate Park with my friend Monic...
Lately I’ve been feeling quite extremely restless with my surroundings and have had this innate urge to go out and explore. I’ve also been wanting to use the word “innate” in ...
All SF trips must begin at Dynamo Donut. Yesterday Tim and I celebrated our 5 month anniversary exploring the Mission district of San Francisco and catching Monty Python’s Spamalot at the Orphe...
Over the weekend I found out that Pottermore is FINALLY open to the public! I was horrendously forlorn when they were accepting some people to be beta testers and whatnot last year and I never receiv...
Okay, so maybe these three things I’m about to talk about don’t necessarily make me say, “Weeee!” out loud, but they do have the capacity to put a smile on my face, literally ...
When I was in school I was soooo frustrated with the amount of reading I had to do for all of my classes. I studied Creative Writing, so of course I knew what I was getting into. And like all my prof...
I didn’t have very high hopes for Mirror Mirror when I first heard about the project being made, but upon seeing its trailer I thought it looked like it would be cute. And then I found out Tars...
Shanice, my long ass bangs, myself at B&N shopping for John Green books. I can’t ever imagine not having bangs. I had them for a bit as a kid, and then after that I always did the layered l...
“My thoughts are stars I can’t fathom into constellations.” I’ve been itching to read a book, but I have that typical 1st world issue where I have a shelves upon shelves lined...
I got back from my super amazingly fantastical 4-day Disneyland adventure last night around 2:30 am! Or technically, earlier this morning. My back is killing me (Tim had to put Icy Hot patches on me,...
Last Monday, Tim and I went on a mission to find him a brand new pair of black Chucks for our Disneyland trip (we’re leaving on Thursday!!!). And, unlike other shoes, Chucks are best when they&...

“The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it u...
My poor little Rory is currently in a world of pain – he got his junk snipped off yesterday. In order to keep him from trying to lick his phantom sack, he has to wear the Cone of Shame! I feel...
Nerd love. I used to like Valentine’s Day… y’know, in elementary school where we’d take an hour off towards the end of the day and have a party with punch, cookies, and pass o...
Today is my Inay’s birthday! Inay means “mom” in Tagalog BTW. So I just wanted to post a little something in honor of her big day! This is what Inay looked like on her 26th birthday...
I got some really fantastical things for my birthday, and even a couple of the items that I put on my wish list! Tim got me Doctor Who series 6, a radically epic Doctor Who & Scott Pilgrim mashup...
Trying to think of fun things to do in Stockton is a bit of challenge, but for my birthday yesterday I figured bowling would be an exciting thing to do. I dominate in Wii bowling (no, really. Ask Tim...
My birthday is in exactly one week! AHH!!! I know some people that aren’t really into birthdays and don’t make a big deal out of them. I, on the other hand, am the complete opposite. Shan...
Having a jolly good time at the park in my faux glasses. I don't recall what was so funny. When I was in 3rd grade, I tried my best to make it seem like I couldn’t see very well when I wen...
Jan. 12, 2011: Lightsaber battle on my 25th birthday. Greetings and salutations to whoever happens to be reading this. I hope you had a swell holiday season and avoided having to put on “presen...
The holiday season has really gotten to me — and by that I mean my waistline. Fuuuuuu… Curse you delicious stupid cookies and cakes that magically appear out of nowhere during this time o...
Christmas is in 10 days!!! To get into the holiday spirit, I thought I would share some of my all-time favorite Christmas tunes. And I know I’ve mentioned my love for The Sound of Music in pre...
I’ve been wanting to go to a legit Sara Bareilles show for the LONGEST TIME. And I say legit because I’ve only been to an in-store signing/performance (her first ever in-store signing at ...
On Saturday Tim and I had a day-long date in San Francisco where we ate Dynamo Donuts, wandered around Yerba Buena Gradens, Westfield Shopping Centre, Union Square, and ended the day watching Sara Ba...
This is me on 5 Dec. 2010 Time is such a tricky thing — there are days when it feels like it passes by too quickly, and there are days when it feels as if it’s moving at an extremely glac...
