Random Thoughts...

♥ For the past week, I've been going back and forth with the events manager in regards to the venue for Max's baptism luncheon. We finally compromised on a menu that's within my budget. Once I got the news that they can work with my ideal price, I suddenly hit cloud 9. This all reminds me of my wedding planning moments dealing with vendors. I can't help but to love this industry.

♥ Speaking of events but a couple of days ago myself along with my sister and cousin's girlfriend had a very interesting conversation. Perhaps a controversial some might say but to us, it's down right rude when you come to a formal party and you bring a guest and you give less than what your meal actually cost. C'mon people, get with the program! Would you go to a restaurant and pay $50 but you actually spent $75-$100? More than likely, you will be considered cheap but I'm sure these people already know this about themselves. Not to argue that we are grateful for them even attending, it's just the principle.

♥ This May I get to celebrate Mother's Day and my one year anniversary! I still can't fathom that I'm a mother and a wife. A mother to the most handsome little fella who's a carbon copy of his handsome daddy. I wonder what my hubby has in store for me... (I also wonder if he's going to read this?) I hope so! LOL

♥ I started reading the Twilight saga again hoping to re-live them by the time Eclipse is released. I'm not even close to completing Twilight. Parenting is quite consuming but I can never trade Twilight over my son despite how obsesses I am with it all.

♥ I cannot wait to get back to my pre-pregnancy body. I know I won't exactly have it all back, but at least hoping to fit into my jeans again. I refuse to shop while being over weight. Oh how I long to be skinny again. Btw, excess skin is soooo gross! Pilates, here i come. (Ugh...)

♥ Last random thought for this week. Is it me or this April has been gloomy compared to last year? This weather is not helping me get into the work out mood let alone has me baking chocolate cake! No bueno...

2 months!

My lil' man is officially 2 months and boy has he changed! I can finally figure out his cries whether they are hunger pain or he's just exhausted in needing of a nap. My husband and I are finally getting the hang of this parenting stuff. For the past three nights, he's been sleeping through the night and waking up around 6 A.M. for feedings. I'm crossing my fingers that this will stay! He is smiling a lot more and cooing as well. There are no words to describe how much I'm in love with my baby boy! =)

2 month appointment status includes:

Weight: 12 lbs 14 oz.
Height: 23.5 inches
Head circumference: 16 inches
He received four immunizations including 3 shots which he didn't like too much. Poor lil guy.

Indulges...a girl can dream right?

What else other than a Hermes Birkin bag? Maybe I'll take

just about everything that Olivia Palermo has in her closet.
Wouldn't that be grand???

YSL Sandals - I love the cognac color. Do you see the price?


Balenciaga Sunglasses. Love them!

Cartier Watch

Tory Burch leopard flats

Last but not least...a box of Sprinkles cupcakes =)

Baby fashion fever

My son is now 2 months old and he's big enough for me to start dressing him up with the cutest little outfits. I am absolutely addicted to shopping for little Maximus. I can't help but to dress him with the most adorable little pieces. This spring I noticed that baby rompers are quite popular this season as well as different bold patterns. I'm also in love how my sister dresses my little niece with bright colors and not the typical matchy matchy pieces. Recently, I went on a shopping rampage at Baby Gap, Bloomingdale's and surprisingly Old Navy. Here are a few that I'm currently eying for the next shopping trip and some I have already purchased.

These are some of Natalie's essential pieces for this spring. She practically lives in crawler skirts and would look adorable in the baby rompers for girls. I can't wait till summer and get to see my Maximus and Lily pie in their bare arms and legs!

Black and white

Spring has officially arrived especially here in California. Days are longer, nights are shorter and the past week has been quite warm. Whenever I see cherry blossoms bloom, it reminds me that spring is in the air. When we talk about warm weather the first thing come in mind are spring dresses. How I love to shop for dresses. I have collected some of my favorite black and white pieces for 2010 spring line of great designers as well as affordable ones. I can't wait to do some shopping especially after losing some of this baby weight. Here are some of my favorite looks for spring and the upcoming summer. You also might notice a trend here. I'm loving the loose, curve friendly dresses as oppose to the tighter pieces.

Mink Pink

It's all in the details...

Many of you don't know that I recently got married... Yes, I'm still considered a newly wed! I married the love of my life on May 12, 2009 in Oahu with our closest family attending. I planned the wedding 6 months prior and all from the mainland. I did not visit the site, or met with any of my vendors. I had to do something I have never done before and trust vendors whom I have never met. Every decision was based on reviews of past brides and the internet.

I planned every inch of my wedding and glad I was able to experience the wedding industry. I now have a passion for event planning which hopefully in the future may lead to my dream job.

Here is a sneak peak of my wedding details...

A blissful month...

I know... I've been terribly missing in action for the past month. It amazes me how time simply flies especially when you're busy taking care of a little one. I know I have once again neglected my blog, but with a newborn to take care, it's simply impossible to make time for myself, let alone update a blog. Now that my baby is getting a little older, a little more experience in the baby department, I can now have some "me time."

My baby is now 7 weeks old and although 7 weeks may not be much but 7 weeks with a baby has been a hand full. Lack of sleep, a handful of arguments with the hubby, at times a fussy baby made me realized how I appreciate "me time." I can honestly say I'm exhausted! It sounds quite cliche but the term "It's worth it" is underated... I don't even remember how my life was before having Max.

Here are a few pictures of my baby boy!
