Baby Shower: Marisa

I just realized that most baby showers are supposed to be girls only? I dunno. I think i like it better when the guys are there. It's funnier and more entertaining watching them play the games. Then again, having it be all girls is also kinda nice. It's more sweet and classy. This was my co-worker's baby shower, the one where I made the owl cake pops. Her good friends did such a great job with the food, decor and games. A lot of thot and effort was put into it. There was a delish mediterranean spread that ended being all vegetarian. Fine by me! I contributed this game that I learned from Queenie that everyone really enjoyed. It's like nesting gifts you have to open with oven mitts. Super fun! I ended up staying to nearly the end cos I was having such a good time hanging with my work peeps. Alas, big poppa came a calling and you know me, I want to be attached to his hip so off I went. Someone please hit me with an independent stick! Barley, croatia's doggy is so darn cute! He's the non-chihuahua. I miss my long nappy hair.

Musik Mundi: Beach House

Beach House
Album: Teen Dream (2010)
Song: 10 Mile Stereo

This whole time, I thot the singer of Beach House was a dood. But it's actually a chick. They're from Baltimore, MD. Boo, to the end of Aces of Cakes. My player is all wonky and I'm just too lazy to get it sorted out. I'm currently searching for a new player where I can upload songs onto. This hypster one used to let me do that but now it's search, add and stream only. Fracking musical politiks.

Restaurant: Oporto

3833 Richmond
Houston, Texas 77027

Happy hour at Oporto with friends who I can almost consider to be family. I really like it here. The owners of this place also just opened up another bar place down the street, Queen Vic Pub. I went there one night with friends after a wedding. I can't tell you what I thot of the place cos I was so tired I was literally falling asleep while sitting upright. I get so tired so early these days. I'm in lazy mode so no food deets. Thank goodness for my cell phone today or I would never have known it was daylight savings time again!

Trippin': Dallas - La Duni

On new year's day, I really wanted to go check out the new H&M at northpark mall so Gau and Queenie so graciously drove us from Arlington to Dallas to make me happy. Haha. Such good friends! And I'm just too demanding of a friend. We chose to have some brunch at La Duni inside the mall. Transam, mascara and flower child joined us since they live in the area. There were strollers everywhere, our waiter looked like he had a hangover, and I couldn't stop eating the complimentary chips and queso. It was some of the best chips I've ever had in a latin restaurant. I'm too lazy to really go through the names of the dishes. I had a simple dish of scrambled eggs, some potatoes and an english muffin. Nothing too latin about it. Haha. Most of the other folks had a sandwich of some sort. I think big poppa had breakfast tacos. That boy could live on breakfast tacos. They're supposed to be known for their tres leches so we ordered a couple of slices to share. It tasted almost stale! Ugh. Like how old was my piece of tres leches?!? Those hole-in-the-wall mexican bakeries make the best tres leches. Afterwards, the only store we hit up was H&M. The store was only partly open with only a small selection of clothing available. I still managed to buy two items. I think the best part of the day was seeing big poppa help transam navigate my linh in her stroller down some escalators. Modern family!
