Loosing It's Spark

I can't remember the last Independence Day where I had "fun". I remember being younger, we'd always take these trips to Las Vegas in one of those HUGE, long vans and we'd fit several families in there. We stopped doing that now that most of my cousins are married with kids and the economy has gotten so bad we're all saving for our lives. Anyways, I managed to kidnap my aunt out of the house today since my uncle had the day off. He stayed home with the two younger ones that are always attached to her. She's constantly asking me to shop for her but I want her to get out of the house and shop for herself for once. We stopped by the Westfield Mall and KOHLS since I had received my first KOHLS cash from there. I bought her a pair of shoes and well, my aunt got me a pair of boots from H&M that I thought was already past season so I guess you could say I had a very happy July 4th :)

Ended the night with fireworks at my aunt's house with the kids. I think I'm getting too old for this stuff though because I didn't play this year, instead, I lit the "scarier" fireworks and captured the moments on film.

Family Valentine

Black Friday.

This is a late post that was intended for 11/15/2010, the day after Thanksgiving also known as the biggest shopping day of the year, Black Friday.

Sis and I did not do the usual American shopping, take a look below.

Labor Day at Cabazon.

As usual, mother and father wanted to use the excuse of "shopping" to sneak next door to play at Casino Morongo. I didn't mind since dad gave me $100 and my savings account agreed it'd be a sweet deal to accept.

Believe it or not, I didn't buy a single thing! Not a dime spent. Not even on food! (I packed up my favorite chocolate+fruits+nuts mix!) I pretty much spent the day napping in the car with Meeko, staying outside the stores with Meeko, or playing with Meeko. A Labor Day well spent I would say since I got to be with my baby all day :)

Valentine's.

My sister.

I decided to ask my sister to be my Valentine this year :)

Surprised her with 2 things she's been wanting to try.

Lindor Chocolate and the CoverGirl Lash Blast.
She woke up pretty happy.
She tweeted "i woke up to the sweetest things. i cant ask for more .. ♥"

Success?
I think so!

Thanks sis for an amazing day, as always. I love you.

Lunar New Year 2010.
