When Bored Girls Go Out

...it's fun! fun! fun!

Warning: Gazillion of pictures ahead.

I hanged out with my friends Terie and Ewa on Monday. We ate at a Filipino restaurant, then went window shopping at the Fashion Place Mall. Sure, it's fun when I'm out with Brandon on his day off, but it's a different kind of fun when I'm with my girl friends. It means lots of laughters and craziness. I've told you a little about Terie in one of my previous posts (read here). Ewa is from Cebu, she and Terie became friends first then Terie introduced her to me. They're 2 of the coolest people to spend time with and I don't have to be NOT myself when I'm with them.

I'll just let the pictures and their captions tell you the rest of the story.

I sooo love how candid this shot is. Terie and I were having so much fun striking different poses while Ewa was continuously taking the pictures, then we noticed that some people were watching us from the restaurant glass window. I was like "Oh my gosh, they're staring at us!", then we stopped and laughed so hard. :D

At the mall, flirtin' with these mannequins at Macy's. :P



We passed by this Sephora billboard and this photo idea popped in my head.

Taking a break from testing the Victoria's Secret testers and trying on shoes at Nordstrom, haha.



Strutting our stuff inside the Macy's bathroom...




...and going crazy...



...and crazier.





Thank you ladies for that fun-loaded afternoon. Can't wait for our next date. :)

Hangin' Out with the Birds

I really love parks. Even though there's not a lot to do at a park, I just love sitting on the grass on a not-too-sunny day, chit-chatting with my husband while munching our burgers, feeling the calming soft blow of the wind, watching cute little children run around and fly their kites, and being amused by the birds fighting over the food when someone feeds 'em. A few hours at the park is like the best way for me to relieve stress.

Sugar House park is one of the nicest parks in SLC. It has a huge pond on the center with lots and lots of birds swimming on it (as you can see in the first photo), which is in a way a bad thing because you can get pooped on by these birds anytime. Aside from the pond and birds, Sugar House park also has a nice view of the big beautiful mountains that surround the city. It is especially nice to hang around here on Spring where the snow on the mountains have barely melted. When the sun shines on the snowed mountains, it makes them look kinda glittery. You can see the white mountains sparkle and it's just breath-taking.

This bird is funny. I have a story of her here. :P



I thought these dogs were going to fight but they didn't. Instead they gave each other kisses. :)

As usual, Brandon wouldn't look at the camera.

And as usual, I'm "pa-kyut" haha.

Sunny Days and Sundays Always Lift Me Up

I can't believe that it's Sunday again, and it's been a week since I ripped the skirt that I always wear to Church (you can read about it here). I love Sundays. Aside from Thursday, it's Brandon's day off.

We went to a park enjoying the beautiful start of Spring, talked about a lot stuff, watched some kids fly their kites and tiny dogs walking around, and just being sweet to each other. I missed this! I don't remember the last time we went to a park although we always used to. When we go out, it's always at the mall or somewhere else.

Chillin' inside the car on the park parking lot.

He always gives me this face everytime I take a picture of him. I always have to beg him to look cute and not goof for pictures.


We were laying down inside the car for about 15 minutes just talking about anything. Then Brandon became dreamy and started talking about our dreams and plans. :)


Out of the blue, I felt like dancing so I danced. The 2nd picture is my new favorite picture of myself.


I can't decide which one I like better, the one with bright colors or the one with muted colors. Which do you think?


Then Brandon played papparazzi.


Time to change my footwear. Yep, when I'm wearing heels outdoor, I make sure to bring flats too. I just put 'em in my purse so I can change whenever I need to. Excuse my nasty feet. :P


Just like me and B.




First blooming flower I saw after winter. Can't wait to see more.


bugged.

A Tropical Girl's First Snow Experience

It snowed hard today, but not hard enough for skiing, sledding, or snow boarding. So I went out with Brandon and just did whatever I could do for fun. I ran on the snow-covered apartment yard like a little kid, jumped on it, threw snowballs on my husband, and of course took pictures. It was already fun that way. Brandon said he's gonna buy 2 sleds so we can go sledding at the park when it snows more.♥
