March Already??
I'm finally back!! Yes, and I really mean it this time, haha. I've been seriously missing my website, and it sucks because I mean cmon' I pay for this shit I think it needs some undivided attention too! I am going to go back into that whole blogging mode because I really do miss blog-hopping as well, and I miss just writing about everything happening in my life at the moment. There's so much I missed on blogging in the past month and a half or so, it sucks, because now I'm lazy to start from where I left off (which is Valentines Day). I've got tons of new products that I should do reviews on, but I'm just seriously L-A-Z-Y. I'm somewhat a little over writing about my products that I recently purchased, or lemming for. I'm just into randomly posting whatever comes to mind, but I realized that I do go out so often and take pictures with my phone that I might just start doing little posts from my Droid. I think that way it keeps my site literally updated. I also decided that I want to start having longer post entries.. that probably sounds boring, but it's okay it's mainly for me anyway. I just want to "stimulate" my mind by constantly having it think and write. I do own a personal journal, but it's been years since I've had the time to just sit down and write. I guess this is what technology does to you huh? It takes away the essence of writing in a proper journal, haha.
OK. Enough of that.
Let's move on.
Let's talk about the brand spankin new' apartment we moved into.. it's still a hot mess. Babe and I are trying everything we can possibly do after a long day of work and school to fix the place up without exhausting ourselves. The only good thing about this is that my mother takes care of Ryu while we're cleaning. We've only been in the apartment for a little over a week and we literally realized that we all have S-H-I-T-L-O-A-D-S of things all packed in boxes just waiting for it's own personal space. The hard part about all this is how much money it added up to buy containers, shelves, new tv units, and a new desk. This is utter crap and we probably spent a good grand trying to fix this place up. I mean don't get me wrong it's starting to come along fantastic, but it's just so much time we don't really have in one night to do. We still have lots of little decorative things to buy here and there, but that can all wait with each paycheck. I'm a bit excited to FINALLY see the outcome when it's all done. I know it'll all be worth it in the end, it's just all the stress that the new place comes with such as cleaning. I mean it's twice the size of our last apartment so that just means much more cleaning, boo!
On another note my grandmother is back in the hospital after a good while that her health was doing alright. She's getting an angiogram, and I'm praying that everything turns out good, that they don't find anything and she'll able to come home today or even tomorrow. I'm just praying for her health to finally be okay since she's been in the hospital for about a week now, and it's frustrating too since I can't visit her with Ryu since he's too young to visit. I'm sure they have masks or something, but I'd rather not risk having him catch anything since he's already got the sniffles (poor thing's been sick for about 2 weeks now). When my grandmother gets discharged from the hospital she will be staying with us for a while until she fully recovers. She's a strong woman, and I know she'll be okay. She's got a lot of faith that she'll recover perfectly, and that's what I love about my grandmother. She loves to think positively about any situation and it's such good thinking, because it literally gets her by happily. No worries, no scares, just pure happiness. My grandfather has been by her side everyday to make sure she'll be fine and it's so cute! He's also been such a big help to us because he's watching Ryu at the moment in the mornings while Babe and I are at work/school. I'm very sure Ryu acts up once in a while, but according to my grandfather he's been a perfect little angel.
I suppose that's really all I have to blog for now until I fix my site up a little more throughout the day. I promise to check out your sites! I don't know if you all noticed, but I changed the background to something a bit more floral. Since it's going to be Spring I decided to go with the season too! I also decided that I won't be changing the main layout anymore or at least not anytime soon because this works for me, haha.
Brb
Finally we have moved apartments!!! I'm ecstatic about the move, but of course I still have LOTS of cleaning and organizing to do and that's the main reason why I've been M.I.A. The internet is all hooked up and everything, but having 2 households move into one can get hectic. So now we're a full house with our family, my mom and our dog Mocho. It's been really fun getting new things cause of course the shopping is the best part. I promise to come back with tons of things to blog about. I do have a lot to talk about as far as covering this move, but it's just been hectic that's all. I'm sorry for all the posts that I've missed in my blogs, but when I do come back I'll just start fresh from the newest posts! Thanks for keeping drocks alive!
Stupid M.I.A
I feel bad, I've been M.I.A. Our internet has finally been cut off and we don't get it reconnected to the new place til March 1st. I feel bad I haven't been blog hopping or have I been motivated to at least update here at work. A lot and I stress the word a lot has has been happening. Most of them not really involving me, but because friendships are involved I suppose you can say somewhat. I don't want to give too much out really cause I know I shouldn't.. but this is the reason why I'm just going to completely cut people out of my life. Honestly, I'm a mom and there's not one person of any age no matter how old you are who doesn't get involved in gossip, shit talking, or whatever the case is. Although, don't sit there and blame other people for being real and telling you the truth. I hate when someone gets mad instead of listen to the absolute right thing. Oh, and I heard this from Jic too... you're at the age where you know right from wrong. This goes out to a couple people really.
As a parent I want what's best for my son.. if I think it's right then that's my decision.. Otherwise, I don't need anyone making decisions for my family. I think all you moms out there get where I'm coming from. I mean my priorities are completely different. I like going out and having fun, but there's obviously a limit. Idk, but I'm annoyed at work and I kind of just want to brush it off at the moment.
Valentines Day
Belated Valentines my dear bloggers! I apologize for being M.I.A on my site. It's annoying because I wanted to do the scheduled posts to keep this from happening, but I've been so busy that it's been difficult to keep up. I am going to try keeping up this week before the actual moving starts to happen since I'll be out of internet for about 2-3 weeks.
Well here's what I did for Valentines Day. Recap was .. the group of friends decided that Maggiano's the place to go for dinner Saturday night. It was great because my mom watched Ryu and we had the night to ourselves. The downside was I ate something bad that it killed my night cause I started to be in so much pain and I kept wanting to throw up, UGH! It's okay though I still had a blast for dinner! Here are some pictures that you guys can enjoy! lol
Oh, and before I forget I got my hair done!! WOO HOO! Best present ever from <3. He also got me this awesome Swarovski charm bracelet and it's super love. I gotta love him for all the things he did for me this Valentines Day! I absolutely love him for it!
Before
After
This picture shows no mercy because my hair is a lot lighter in person, but I like that it looks more brown than blonde, orange, or yellow. Some people go blonde or get it highlighted it looks insanely yellow or orange. Oh, and I love my new hairdresser Reba, she's so awesome! She made my experience at the salon so worth it! She was so kind, and she literally colored, cut, and styled my hair absolutely how I wanted it. She was so concentrated on just making me happy and that's what happened. I love the outcome so much! I think I found a new hairdresser, and I love her for making me feel better about myself! It's hard to find any hairdresser who can let alone cut hair how you want it cut. I stayed in her chair for about 5 hours just for her to get the color the way I exactly wanted it!
Okay, let's continue to some Valentines Day pictures!
My makeup wasn't quite up to par because I wanted to get it done at Mac, but they were so damn busy! FUCKING lady did my makeup at the Estee Lauder counter, and she sucked! I had to also purchase 3 items just for her to do my makeup! I was so mad.. I was also in a hurry cause we were running late. That's why it sucked so bad! Other than that we still had a blast!

That concludes the Maggiano dinner. I wasn't there any earlier to take pictures since I was running late because of my hair. So I'll leave you pictures of Ryu!
Monday Recap.
Well let's get this show on the road.. I've got a lot to cover here so let's get started. 
. Okay, let's see.. I wanted to first point out the website changes again that's going to take place, haha. It's pretty much me just going to add scheduled posts on here to bring my website some type of consistency and order. I really hate the idea of having to do that, but right now I'm in the process of moving to a new apartment so I'll be really busy. However, I don't want to go on hiatus or drop my site for a while. I had to think of a way to keep going without having to spend too much time thinking about what to write.
Anyway, like I mentioned I'm in the process of moving out. <3 and I are moving back in with my mom for the time being maybe for just a year or so. It'll make the expenses so much better for all of us, plus our job, school, and friends is in that area. We live a little bit far from everyone which makes it a drag to go out. It'll be great once we move back into the valley, so as of right now our current apartment is a total mess. There's boxes and shit everywhere and it's going to be super time consuming to box everything up. We're not really going to be officially moving into the new place until the end of Feb, beginning of March. Although, that's not far from now and the packing itself is going to take up the time. Plus we're going to need to clean up, carpet clean, and repaint the walls. I'm very excited to be honest! The thing is I'm going to miss the apartment that <3 and I made our first home together. Changes are good and always for the better, but you can't help but miss what's the past. I guess it's time to just make new memories.. good thing there's always a camera 
for that one. Wish me luck, and I'll try my best to blog hop since the only chance I get to do it is at work, 
Okay let's start off the weekend talk.. Uhm, last Thursday was when Ryu had his doctor's appointment. Poor thing had to get shots and well he's usually not the type to get sick or anything, but this time the shots got the best of him. He woke up Thursday morning with a cold, and I suppose the shots just pushed him into getting a fever. If you follow me on twitter or on facebook, you'll definitely know how upset I am with how stupid his pediatrician is, GAH. He's doing much better now still has the runs, but at least he's not holding a fever. I'm glad that it's over with..
I know it's kind of messed up to take a picture of Ryu while he was sick, but I couldn't help but capture the moment. The rag on his head was suppose to just be on his forehead, but he kept squirming around. My baby was running a fever of 100.4 here, and we had just given him baby tylenol and the warm wet rag. That rag trick actually helps. It sucked up all the heat that he had. He wanted to play in his bouncer in no time.
This weekend we went to the cuzzo's house. We spent the whole weekend there and that's why I thought it was my mini vacation. I had a blast, but not many pictures were taken. I have a couple webcam pictures, but those are all on <3's laptop. I'll most likely post those up tomorrow or something. So here's me taking a picture of myself as I was getting ready to pack stuff for the weekend.

After Shirt from Pacsun, and Jeans from Forever 21
I actually wanted to go over this a little before I continue with the weekend, but I've lost 14 lbs so far since I've started my weight loss plan. I started January 1st, and I think I'm doing good so far. I'm losing weight at this rate because I don't workout, but I bet if I did it'd be a bigger difference.
Here I'm not sure if you can tell, but these were the only 2 pictures I have that had the gap from December til now. Btw, I hate the picture I used for my "before" part. Although, it's the only picture that I had that captured how blah I looked so I used it. The one on the left was taken this last weekend. I can see a difference, or maybe it's just my cheesy smile not being as big,
I'm planning to lose another 20 lbs. My goal really is to lose another 30, but we'll see how each day goes by first. I'm not really in a hurry, but it's nice to see results every week!
Alright back to my weekend adventure. It was super fun. We actually went swimming Saturday evening after it had stopped raining (that's probably the reason why I feel like shit now, but whatever). I had such a blast hanging out although, my sleep schedule is really messed up now. I don't think any of us slept until the following morning. We cooked breakfast, and our friend Miche made some delicious cream puffs. I wish I had more pictures from the weekend, but I guess I just completely forgot to take any pictures!
These are the main pictures that I got that was good quality. I honestly enjoyed the weekend. It was such a great one! I guess that's pretty much it for now. I'm going to plan my scheduled posts and blog hop when I can.

6 mo. & 5 Days old
It feels like it's been a while since I've dedicated a post to Ryu 
. My baby is already 6 mo. and 5 days! He's growing up so fast! His next appointment is a couple days from now and he's definitely going to get another round of shots.
The bouncer from his Godfather
His hair looks funny this way
Ryu is like about 18 lbs when we last checked and I'm sure he's somewhere around 20 lbs now. He's so heavy especially in the car seat. There's absolutely no way of just carrying it for a long period of time anymore. I actually need to get him another car seat we have one that fits from 25 lbs up, but the thing is he's completely outgrown his car seat now. He's not chubby he's long so I'm guessing our baby is going to be a tall person when he's older. That's good since I'm a shorty, lol. I only stand about 5'2" so the taller he is the happier I am. According to the doctor his height is above average on the chart compared to a lot of children his age. My little Ryu is too cute I can't wait til he's a little older so that we can bring him to Disneyland and Legoland, just pretty much where you would take little children to. I can't wait for him to drag me to the zoo, to the movies, and for him to ask me if he can play an instrument or sports!
.
Ryu in his little tub
See how big he is it's like he doesn't even fit in that tub anymore!
. He actually loves taking a bath he's so relaxed! He doesn't complain.. actually <3 and I are very lucky we're blessed with a baby that doesn't really complain. He barely cries .. when he does he's either hungry or needs to be changed, but other than that he just tries to talk which is too cute. I'm glad because as new parents we all dread the part where they wake us up at all hours of the night!
He enjoys his picture being taken! He knows when to smile and when he wants to look mean in the picture! He's the love of my life!! Go RYU!
He's trying to learn to sit on his own
6 mo. old training sippy cup
Ryu's quite a fast learner. He's really enjoying that we throw him to doing "older" baby things like learning numbers 1-5 or the ABC's. As much as possible I try singing it to him every night before we go to bed. Oh, and he loves music! He just starts going crazy when he hears music, it's almost like he's trying to sing along with it which is super cute! I will update more on Ryu once I get the ball rolling on here, but this concludes the baby post!
