 Creating your very own Lily backdrop yourself might take hours but it beats buying one for $1800!!

Ghosts in Shells Show 2

 Pictures of Fernando's latest show with his band/friends early this month. They had another successful show at Dolores Park Cafe again. I am so proud of Fernando too for accomplishing a lot and doing what he loves. He's going to go far and I'm right at his side supporting him as much as I can. I got to read some of my poetry at this show along with our good friend Josh. It was pretty exciting but of course there's always those nerves that get you right before you step up in front of an audience. Anyways, can't wait for their next show , below is a video of one of Ghosts in Shells single, Machines.And a bonus short video of my love rapping :) Enjoy!

Our trip to the Water Park

Last Monday we took the day off for some fun and relaxation at the Raging waters water park in San Jose. I have been wanting to go for years to a water park again and it finally happened and  I had so much fun with Fernando. We got on rides that were a lot of fun and thrilling, many of them we went on several times, we got sun burned very very bad because we weren't smart enough to buy sunscreen but we learned our lesson, now that we went through a painful sunburn and peeling skin...it was horrible. Anyways, but it was all worth it and especially spending this happy day with my love who willingly took the day off and came along with me :) It meant a lot and I'm so thankful to have him as my boyfriend. We're planning on having another water park trip soon again but in a different location. ;)

Because we love Safeway!

We have so many memories going to this specific grocery store, Safeway, a year ago when we were just starting to hang out and getting to know each other. It was a must to go back and revisit during our 1 year anniversary. :)

Happy 1 year anniversary to.... Us!

Even though it was actually yesterday, I am still wanting to blog about our wonderful 1 yr anniversary today because yesterday there was just no time. I am shocked to see how fast this whole year went by to us with everything we have done and been through and seen and all the memories we've made. Its amazing and astounding and incredible that our love has been strong no matter what. Yes, there were bad times and there  were good times and I just believe everything we have gone through together has helped our love become stronger and stronger and to be there for each other for support and encouragement. I love you so much and couldn't be happier and I will never forget the first time we met, our first date together and when we were just beginning to know each other and  I am glad you are a big part of my life now.

Yesterday we took the time to rent out a mini cooper and drive over to where we first start hanging out a lot, to the place we would go and grab a bite to eat late at night, to the grocery store we would walk to at 1am with my ukulele for donuts and other stuff , and to many other places we been throughout the city. I seriously was very happy, going back to these locations brought back that nostalgic feeling, and everything was sentimental because there is a story behind every one of these places we been to together. Yesterday was such a happy day for both us, spending our evening together seriously was the best gift of all.
