| The New York Chronicles: Life of an OC Girl in NY - Entry 49Dan and I had a great 4th of July in Orlando with our good friends Sonya and Adam and with our other friends who live in Orlando. Hopefully, I'll get to post those soon!
Before I get going, I just wanted to announce that the whopper jr. has shrunk. LOL. I ordered a whopper jr. today and Dan ordered a regular one. I was surprised to see that the jr. was only $1. Usually it's more. Then, when I saw it, I realized why. It's super tiny now, fits in the palm of my hand. haha.
Okay, beginning from where the last blog left off, we get back to NYC in time to celebrate Cousin Thuy's 36th Birthday at the Elizabeth in the Lower East Side (LES).
Toward the end of the night, she was super drunk. Here she is telling me that I'm her favorite cousin (later on she tells Nam the same thing. Traitor!). She's smokin' hot for a 36 year old.
This is Thuy's best friend, Gina
On May 16th, we attended the NYC Dance Parade for the 2nd time. It's a parade packed with all types of music and participants from every type of genre. Since House is one of my fave genres I signed up to participate in the parade with the Pacha float. We grooved through the streets of NY and had a grand ol' time.
That's my friend Megu. She's a big house cat and knows everything about House events in NY. More Here... | | |
| The New York Chronicles: Life of an OC Girl in NY - Entry 48I am still way behind on blogging. Ack! Must. Catch. Up.
Okay! The weather has been great lately, but when the sun is scorching and humidity in the highs, I'm reminded of how sweaty I can get in the summer in NYC.  Check out this photo of a beautiful day in Central Park.
If there's one thing about California that I can take to NYC with me, it'd be a trunk of a car so that I can carry more groceries home from Trader Joe's. Haha.
Another thing I miss is having my own washer/dryer readily available with me. Carrying laundry down three flights of stairs and walking to the laundromat can be such a drag at times. Luckily, I have the bestest husband in the world who has volunteered to start doing the laundry himself now a days. Yipee!! I also make him clean the toilet. 
I got to see Thu Hong in New York when she came for a short vacation. She brought along a nice and sweet digital photo frame for me filled with our many memories throughout the years. And when I say many memories, I'm talking about we've known each other for over 20 years! Pretty hardcore, isn't it?
Right when Thu Hong arrived, Dan and I have to catch our plane to California for Cousin Charlie's wedding. The moment we arrived in California we rush to Huntington Beach to hang out with Charlie for his somewhat Bachelor party at BJ's. This is me and Cousin Charlie!

| The New York Chronicles: Life of an OC Girl in NY - Entry 47I just realized something. Back in those days during my rare moments at the gym, I'd notice people working out on the stair machines. Now, I've been taking the stairs, up and down the subway stations for over a year now and I STILL get tired. How can those people possibly do those stair machines for 30 minutes to an hour? I salute you stair people!
What can I say? It has been raining in New York for over 2 weeks now. What's going on here folks? Gimme some dry weather already! I'm soaked by the time I get to work. It'd be nice if rain didn't feel the need to fly in sideways under my umbrella to drench the heck out of me.
edit 6/19: ladies and gentlemen, we have a dry day!
I don't know why, but every time I pass Times Square on my walk to work, I'm still in slight awe of the fact that I live in one of the most remarkable cities in the world. (My opinion of course, but not mine alone. )
Quick announcement: Everyone should watch UP in 3D. Here's Laura and me sitting in the theater waiting for the movie to start.
Moving on, moving on. Let's get caught up. I'm still catching up with April. Adam's birthday is a week after mine. He turned 27 this year. He's Sonya's boyfriend and someone I consider a great friend. He's definitely a unique individual. Forget the crazy hair, his personality is something to discuss as well. Never the less, Dan and I both love him.

Those are just some of the things I can think of from the top of my head. I like to keep my life busy, but man are things REALLY busy sometimes. I love it!
This post will be be quick and easy and not as thoughtful as some of my past posts, but once I catch up I'll be able to go into more depth again.
Here's a photo of me leaving our apt from Hubby's flickr. Notice how I'm wearing a short sleeved shirt. Lovin' the weather lately.
 Out on a nice night in NYC  Mommy and Daddy -in-law sent me these flowers for my birthday. They loves me. I'm going to get right to it and let you know how my birthday was. - Mike was my first visitor.
- Birthday Celebration at Xanga Office
- Eli and Son come to town
- Birthday week visitors: Cuzzie, Dennis, Lil Anh, Heather, Jason, and Crystal
First off, let's start with Mike since he got here first to celebrate with me. Mike lives in Las Vegas and always had for the past 10 years we've been good friends. Out of those 10 years, he's only missed one of my birthdays. More Here... | | |
| The New York Chronicles: Life of an OC Girl in NY - Entry 45 Wowee! What a long hiatus for me! *stretch* This has been the longest block of time I haven't updated. I'm going to have to admit that working at Xanga has been making me less and less eager to get on the computer when I get home. I'm on xanga in some sort of way all day long... not that I'm complaining. I'm still enjoying what I do!

Cutting to the chase and moving on.
Currently (as in right now) the boys are watching the Lakers game. It's always a good night in the apartment when the Lakers win. When they lose... not so nice. The boys act like cranky babies who just woke up hungry with wet diapers.
New York is still treating us very well and even better now that the weather is utterly fantastico... and by fantastico, I mean it isn't in the 30's any longer. Whoo hoo! You don't know how good it feels not to have to wear a thick bubble coat that reaches the length of my knees anymore. I love enjoying the park on an amazingful day!
There have been lots of things going on and I'm beyond far behind on giving you updates on time as well as posting photos so forgive me if this particular post ends up being longer than the Nile.
In this blog:
- Sonya's Birthday
