Thankful for Another Year

I'm excited to make the journey down south tomorrow evening to visit my family for the annual Turkey festivities. This year is going to be a bit different in that my family recently discovered that my mom has Stage III colon cancer.  She begins her chemo therapy today so my sister, aunt, and I are going to take over preparing for this huge feast. Knowing my mom, she will probably still try to get in the kitchen and cook something up. We all had a lovely time last year, so below are some photos:

Hope everyone has a lovely Thanksgiving Holiday!

While out thrifting, I have managed to collect a huge collection of vintage silk blouses of various styles, colors, and pleating. I really do not know what to do with them all and have to resist the urge from buying more, but they really are such good staples to have in your closet for layering underneath sweaters, strappy dresses, etc.

Speaking of blouses, here is a song that I've had stuck in my head for awhile:

So I'm Waiting...

Waiting for Zane-bro to arrive from work so we can brave the rain together and eat dinner. I am starving. Hope my Filipino-ness doesn't kick in where this little Japanese dog figurine (which coincidentally looks eerily similar to Finnegan and also wearing a sweater) will start looking delicious to me as an appetizer for the main course...IRL Finnegan! Hmm...well...This doesn't make sense and I am rambling...Need food!

Choco-cat & Popcorn Drinks?

Japan Town : October 2011

Ice cream crepes, pichura, Hello Kitty, Choco-cat, drinks, and a movie with Sister.

Treasure Island Ahoy!

While my sister was up in the city visiting, we attending the Treasure Island Music Festival. Sister had never been before, so it was fun watching her go crazy over seeing some of the bands live that she had never seen before. Some of the high lights of the festival were: Garlic fries topped with crab, deep fried spicy macaroni & cheese, music, people/bro-watching, being photographed by Refinery 29 (SF), and beautiful weather in the middle of the Bay.
