Beef Carpaccio

I've been craving this Vietnamese dish called Bo Tai Chanh for TWO weeks! Usually when there is an existing craving, i fill it within the week, if not the day! I found this amazing and easy recipe online at this couples blog called the ravenous couple. They have so many great ideas and recipes that are so easy to follow! I didn't kill anybody with my cooking! Woohoo! If you're ever craving this and can't find it, this is a must try. You can thank me later.

This is F*$@kin AFROJACK

My latest fave. I can't stop listening to his set live from EDC. I just love that crazy dutch accent. so effing awesome! check out chemicaljump.com and dl the live broadcast for free!

So, let's play catch up. I went to EDC last month and it was mind blowing! so many great people from all around the world listening to some of the best, body moving music in the entire world!

I was accompanied by some of the most caring and energetic people. I thank them for giving me the best Vegas experience yet.

Let me introduce you to some of the smushboxx crew..

Bag Raiders in SF !

Photo credit goes to either Randy or Jo D. I forgot who I stole it from! Haha!

I had a chance to check out a music group called the bag raiders on Thursday - they were awesome! Thanks again to my dear friend, Kristina, for always introducing me to new music! She just started a new blog called casualkool.com that integrates both music and fashion. It's just coming into existence, like a baby out the womb, but I know she will be a shooting star in the blogging world in a flash.

San Francisco Outings

During Ryan Lesile @ Ruby Skye

My Honey and I @ the concert

The following weekend we met Vy in Hayes Valley to eat Straw

Brighter Faster! Two things i wish i could attain

A Donut burger? Yes, this is the reason for the obesity epidemic.

Ending with the Idowa Stripper. I love her! I always get the most flattering couple pictures them. Haha

Sickly Sweet

Feb 11, 2011 Our Anniversary Dinner @ Chapeau! Quite the experience! The chef greeted us after we were seated and the waiters were beyond great. The food delivered more than I could handle! We had the Fois Gras, Steak and Pork wrapped in Bacon. (I'll post pictures later)

After, we went over to Polk Street to visit a Wine Bar called Amelie. On our way there we saw Bob's Donuts, which is on the 7x7 Big Eats 2010 and 2011. The Apple Fritter was the pastry to try, but that's not what i had to photograph. Check out this DONUT! It's humongous or as Vy would say, duh guys, it's obvious; it's gargantuan!

The cute doggie card with words so sweeet!

The gorgeous flowers I came home to!

February 18, 2011

Crown and Coke for lunch. Why not on your day off?

Drea and I at Zuni Cafe

SF, CA

The waiter and the boys were just as confused about the menu as I was.

If you have to wait 1 hour for roast chicken that cost 48 dollars, you would opt out for the $15 hamburger, too! (Grilled onion- $1 extra) Gr.

Gross Vegetarian Picture that they took away from me when i asked them to take it to go.

week 4, 5, 6

Dear goodness! This thing was much harder than i thought once i lost my iPhone 4! The quality of the old 3g's are horrible. Eek! I will start reposting again soon!

Week 3

1-16-11 Bloggerworld. Louis Vuitton. Louis Vuitton. Bloggerworld. He's a 'celebrity dog' according to his daddy. He was hanging out with his entourage of 1 in the mean streets of DT Mountain View! Gina stopped without hesitation, pointed at the dog and said " I know him" with no acknowledgment of his owner. HA! He's so cute though, don't you think?


1-17-11 Ray and I were on a mad dash for a heart on the Embarcadero. I could recall seeing one long ago and he had faint recollections of seeing one, too. We gave up and looked it up on Google.
How many did we find that day? NONE. We did find a huge cupids arrow though ! This is situated right next to the bay bridge on the Embarcadero. Definitely a pretty site to see.
Unfortunately, today sucked - no hearts and i lost my iPhone 4 - BUMMER. I won't sulk over it; I suppose life will go on.


1-18-11 without an iPhone i'm forced to use my SLR. There's a PRO of losing it, i suppose.


1-19-11 Me and my hon went to Hakone Gardens in Saratoga. There's a $5 admission charge, but it goes to a good cause- the maintenance! It's a beautiful garden filled with a pond of koi fish, bamboo garden, statues and a huge viewing house that overlooks the entire ground. From what I've read, there are many weddings held here. I could only imagine how pretty it is when spring time hits!


1-20-11 *sighs* I activated Nam's iPhone today. Back to the 2nd generation; it has a shitty screen, static and is not capable of having multiple apps open. I can't listen to pandora as play cut the rope! The HORROR!!!!!!! Another day crying over spilled milk, but with a different weapon of choice- Jubilee Ice Cream from Thrifty! I always loved this ice cream since I was a kid. It seemed to do the trick that day.



1-21-11 Today I've adopted a second name; It's ohmygodherpicturesaresoeffinboring. I heard it enough times to make it legally a second name. I really had nothing to do today, so i organized my rings. Oh, what an exciting life i live! Just for the record, I LOVE RINGS! They are the perfect gift. hint hint

1-22-11 We went to tahoe this morning! I didn't get a chance to board this morning because Ray's bad shoulder, so we went tubing and had some free snow play time! For the record, tubing sucks at Sierra! Later that night we all went back to the cabin and this happened. HAHAHA
The girls walked into him peeing and he freaked out. no names mentioned - clearly, the picture says enough !

Week Deux - Busy bee

1-9-11 Meet Baby Sara! No, she's not mine. She's so adorable, isn't she?? Half Cambodian and half White and all she wants to do is roll and play! Such a great baby. I helped my mom babysit her while her parents went on their weekly date. too cute for words.

1-10-11 I woke up this morning and it was frosty everywhere!!! The leaves, the grass, my car, my fingers. I couldn't imagine having to wake up with snow every morning. spoiled California girl.




1-11-11 I really wanted to take a picture about the date, but i couldn't resist this. I came into work and my co-workers (specifically, Ric Ballin - such a cool last name!) made CHILI! The Doctors bought the ingredients and he cooked it in the crock pot for everyone in UCC. Holla.

1-12-11 I've been going to the gym or working out starting Monday. Believe it or not. My fat ass is getting back in shape. Ray and I went up Mission Peak for the first time i 2011 and first time for him EVER! I want to try to make this trip more often. I held him back with my panting and wait. wait. wait. leaving us at a record time of 3 hours! too long. Let's try this again

1-13-11 I ate Szucheun food today;It's Chinese food, but spicy! It's also listed as one of the Top 100 Chinese restaurants in the USA. Yep, the sign speaks the truth- Just like that supermarket that claims to have #1 voted Pizza in town. Bull honkee. That was some good chicken, though.

1-14-11 I bought these chocolates as a Christmas gift, but ended up getting two boxes because they were so cute. I had to have one for myself! They are Lindt's dessert Petites! So far i've tried every flavor and Tiramisu is by far the best. All i could say is, Hello 5 lbs, Goodbye new years resolution.




1-15-10 Boyz II Men in Cache Creek. As my buddy, Joel, said "it was an emotional concert". I felt so nostalgic. They ended the show with end of the road, but the true highlight was touching Sean's hand and seeing the boys THIS close. Never in a million years would i think i could see them so CLOSE! I LOVE THEM . BEST CONCERT EVERRRRRRRR!!!!!!

Week one

Day one: Happy New Year! Here's my hunny and I walking around Union Square at 4AM. It was a great new years! We're starting our scavenger hunt of all the Public Heart's around San Francisco this year. If you're wondering, yes, i'm pointing towards my booboo.





Jan 2, 2011 Ate at Pepper Lunch to see off our good friend Vy. I got the Salmon with garlic butter for a change. Change is good!

Jan 3, 11 Back to the daily grind. Work and SCHOOL! after two long weeks off. BLAH. While i was at work, my girlies sent a nice little text to me. Vy's flight was delayed! She stayed one more day!

Jan 4, 11 My mom came back from LA and my Aunt aka the best cook ever sent over some cambodian beef sticks. My Favorite!!!! I must have ate them all except for 4. I can't wait to learn how to make more food.

Jan 5, 2011 My cute little Ziggy is a cross dresser! OK. OK. I did it, but he didn't hesitate or flinch. I'm thinking he enjoyed it.

Jan 6, 2011 Vivian came from Oklahoma!! Party time! Team Normal's in the house. We met at work and now we plan on going on trips every year. We've been to Seattle, Vancouver and Chicago so far. What's next? We ate at Jang su Jang because she was craving some GOOD asian food. Missed her!

Jan 7, 11 Stiches! Check them babies out. I'm getting them taken out today! 3 cm gash, 5 stitches and scabbing. What a relief to have them out.



Jan 8, 10 Babe and I went to SF to play and eat. We had a whole pitcher of Sangria and some Tapas at Cha Cha Cha. After we went to go check out the Mansions in Pac Heights. His dad had a listing there for 90 Million! THAT WAS THE REDUCED PRICE! The biggest house ever. This heart was called the Migrant on Pacific and Lyon. 128 Public Hearts to go!
