'twas a movie weekend...♥

over the long 4 day turkey weekend, i spent most of my days chillaxing♥ (at casa de jamus) i had a full-on cramp attack all day friday and some of saturday...no joke, had to be the most painful cramp i've experienced... ugh!! so what's the best thing to do when you're semi-immobile and just wanna sit with a drink? MOVIES!!! so i finally watched "REALITY BITES". a movie i recall was very popular back inthe 90's..(when i was too young to watch it... if i watched it back then i either: wouldn't get it or be bored watching it) RESULT loved it♥ definitely a story i can relate to... a while back i came upon the term: "Quarter Life Crisis" as opposed to the more common "Mid Life Crisis". don't know what a quarter life crisis is? then watch Reality Bites or Wikipedia it :) i would explain it here but i'm on 4 hours of sleep and my brain isn't functioning its best... O! and a little fun fact... i didn't know ben stiller was the director for this movie! imipressive!!

forgetting sarah marshall

awesome movie ! it had a good amount of humor and what can i say? mila kunis is hot!
i'm glad she's being a bit more active as an actress
she was super annoying in that 70's show but i enjoyed watching her... she's so pretty♥
but since the show ended we haven't see much of her... except voice acting for family guy.
i hope she has more movies coming out in the future

o! and here's a recent cute picture of her @_@

now THIS is a vampire movie ya'll! (as opposed to twilight...)
there are lots of other good vampire movies too, like 'interview with the vampire' 'blade' etc...
but this is a dark, gory vampire movie! takes place in alaska where at one point it stays dark for 30 days... that's when the vamps decide to attack!
some parts made me a bit queasy but c'mon, they're vamps!
twilight isn't all gory...it's more of a teen romance flick... so this satisfied my vamp craving♥

it's black friday ya'll ♥♥!!

black friday is a big deal..for me ..and erika♥

why?

deals !!! good deals !!! things you were gonna get anyway but are on sale ! ridicurous sales!

usually when a black friday comes along, i purchase electronics/dvds/cds the most...

and i did !

target/best buy=cheap dvds/blurays! i ♥ movies...and if there's a movie i ruv, i want to own it.

so i found tons of movies on sale for 3~4 bucks! blu rays for 5~6 bucksmy digital camera also broke down recently...purchased myself a new nikon coolpix digital camera♥ color? PLUM

of course i stopped by urban outfitters!! hunting thru the clearance rack was worth it... i found myself a real cute cardigan and skirt♥ yum!

o and i spotted another monchicchi!! this ones really cute @_@

got some christmas shopping ideas as well... for others and for myself ^_^

i figure making a wish list would be best... i always wanted to do that!

so a lot of craziness at the mall...as expected. first off, erika and i couldn't find parking for the longest time! some of the lines were ridiculous but not too bad. we obviously missed the

morning doorbusters but some of the shops were messy!

you could tell how crazy it must've been in the morning...

tomorrow i'll go back to hunt some good deals and of course..start on some christmas shopping♥ i already purchased some gifts online... o internet, i love you!

happy T-day ya'll ♥♥♥!

another year - another thanksgiving - another turkey in mah belly!!

a 13 pounder this year

3 glasses of champagne bubbly for me, erika and jamus♥

erika's creation of "how to fill your plate"

dessert? cream puffs with extra Hwhip on top♥ o, and apple pie

diamond knot--> the rock...!

since i was left with nothing to do on wednesday...despite my early departure from work... erika and i both fulfilled our cravings for diamond knot stone grilling ! seafood that is !
the menu changed a bit.. at first we thought they got rid of the stone grilling completely since the menu only listed meat/steak. but seafood was still available:) i got mahi and shrimp-classic style. erika got the mesquite style.
it was absolutely delicious!!!! i can say that enough♥♥

then we went to visit josh at his work "the rock". restaurant in lynnwood. he waits/hosts/serves..all that restaurant stuff.
i guess they specialize in pizza..? and one of their specialty drinks is the "bucket".
erika ordered one and it's a bucket filled with mai tai. comes with a bucket and shovel for you to take home ! cute!!

エリカと待ち合わせするためにダウンタウンまでちょっとブラブラしてたら
超かわいいお店を発見！高そうだったので中には入らなかったけど、飾ってあったマネキンの写真を

安室ちゃん's secret (somewhat) revealed...!

so this promo poster was revealed about a week ago...

looks to be amuro behind her 'best fiction' poster, about to tear it in half...!

today we got a snippet of what's behind the ripped poster...!

it's still a tease tho.. :( we can't tell what she's hiding from us !

and the album covers haven't been released yet... :/

forums have been speculating different things... like:

• omg! she chopped off her hair!
• omg! her hair is curly! maybe she's going retro!
• omg! she looks pale and has black nails! maybe she went gothic!
  hmmm...well, i for one will be very sad if she did cut her hair.... but i'm excited to see her NEW LOOK (get it?) ! ♥♥

holiday lights...!

my westlake bus stop has updated its look with new holiday lights ! YAY!
very merry! very pretty!
the month or so before christmas is always exciting to me♥
it even makes my commute exciting!

they've also set up a merry go round in westlake! ooo!!!! exciting !!
hmm...i wonder how much it costs? i may wanna...take a spin or two...

monsterous spider...!!!!

the headline should read:
"MONSTEROUS SPIDER temporarily resides in Erika-chan's bedroom"
can you tell how big this fella is?! well let me tell ya, it ain't pretty! he's one huge SPIDER!
erika did the smart thing and covered him up so he won't run away to haunt us at night..!!
we're currently waiting on the jamus--for he has the magical powers to get rid of the...*gulp* spider...!

美味しい誕生日★

好きな食べ物だらけのお食事でした★
さすがオカパン、茶碗蒸しを作ってくれました。
美味しい～！！！！思わず写真を撮ってもらいました。

こちらはヤマイモを使ったサラダでございます。しかも
オカパンの手作りドレッシングと混ぜております。
さっぱりしててなかなかの美味しさですぅ～

チラシ寿司ライス。。。これは、残念ながらあいびは食べられません。子供の頃から苦手で、
今でもあまり手出せないです。

そして、スミス一家では「幻豆腐」と言われる「揚げだし豆腐」です★
これはいつ食べても美味しい。いや、あいびは豆腐毎日食べられるぞ！＾＿＾
オカパン＆オトパン、ごちそうさまでした！
