34 Days 'til Christmas!

Highlights time!

October 30-31, 2009
Die Nasty Halloween Party :) I was part of the decoration committee, hahaha! Really though, that party was a success. Great outcome of 100+ guests with amazing costumes, DJ's playlist was great, and the house did not fall apart. I was straight up Minnie Mouse, not a knock-off from your typical Halloween stores. LOL, I love Disney.

Mike and I celebrated our third year anniversary. We both had work and school, so we had brunch at Max's and went about our days. It was simple but fun.

San Diego road trip! :) Mike and I visited Brandon and his girlfiend. On our first night, we celebrated their friend's birthday at a local bar followed by the karaoke bar. So much fun, but I was pooped pretty early. The following day, they took us to Julian for some apple pies. DELICIOUS! Mm. We had crabs for dinner, and I called it a night. I was sick! :( That Monday, Mike and I roamed the area while our hosts were at school and work. We went to Coronado and La Jolla. Cheers to feeling better, and to a great (but expensive) Japanese dinner.

DISNEYLAND! :) All day every single day. Hahah! We checked in at our hotel early because they already had our room ready. Yay Paradise Pier! The view was great. We're gonna work our way up, haha. It was amazing. We were chosen to dance with Mickey and Minnie on Main St. to celebrate love. We also watched all the shows and parades, and rode all the rides we wanted to go on - some more than once. One night of that week when Disneyland closed early, Mike and I went to a ramen house in Fountain Valley. It was so good! It was Mike's first time at a ramen house, so he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Mhmm.

Check out day, wahh! Before we left though, we got our annual passports and my Dole whip float one last time. YUM! We also did last minute shopping in Downtown Disney. Then, we stopped by Hollywood for their cheap souvenirs (lol) and CB&TL. Finally, we were homeward bound. Lucky for us, we made it home in time with about half hour to spare for the Pacquiao-Cotto fight. Outstanding performance by Manny, and definitely a great fight.

Samantha Gabrielle's baptismal! I'm officially a ninang, again! It was so much fun. I love that girl! Aahh!

A week later... reality had already gotten me tired. Time for another vacation!
