Eyes Closed

Can't even keep my eyes open in pictures anymore. Been running around town for the last couple of weeks doing who knows what. Time for things to finally settle down. Hopefully.

Need a haircut asap. NO SHAPE. NO SHAPE AT ALL is what one would've said.

I DON'T SLEEP I DREAM



Slant Film Festival. Interested in films? Is SXSW your kind of event? Bored this weekend? In Houston, with nothing to do? Okay, I'll stop with the antics. My brother is coming down from NY and one of his shorts is showing at the Slant Film Festival this Friday. Read more about the event here and here.

Tapas

If you go out to eat with me, you would know that I love variety. I need something from every category on the food pyramid. When we go to restaurants, its difficult for me to decide and we often order too much because of the variety I want. Therefore, going to a restaurant that specializes in tapas is perfect for me. There's a lot of variety and the appetizers pretty much make up your meal. In other words, I get what I want, and I get it in smaller portions.

My favorite were the empanadas. The crust was crispy and chewy, the beef inside was succulent and tender, and they even drizzled sour cream on top. Well executed, my friends.


Scallops in tomato and wine sauce.


Chorizo and potato omelet.

Food coma...

We had a couple of other tapas (Shrimp and squid pesto pizza, lamb skewers on top of couscous) which I failed to get a picture of because we couldn't wait to dig in. Small portions? Yes. But when you still fall into the trap of ordering too many, you have to walk it off afterwards.

Boy Meets Girl

One beautiful afternoon, my cousin decided to dress ultra feminine. And on that same beautiful afternoon, I decided to be her date...


My attempt of denim on denim. Also my attempt at being a boy.
Her: Can you buy me a build-a-bear?
Me: Maybe next time.

Those were the days.

When I was a child, I pretended to be a teacher, a nurse, a cook, a power ranger - oh yeah, and 'The Bride with White Hair'. Something about Brigitte Lin was so appealing and attractive, that I would envelope myself in large white bed sheets and swing my hair both freely and forcefully, piercing through imaginary men.

Hello May.

May is the time of the year when procrastinators start considering the destinations they would like to travel to during the summer and beyond. Since the holiday season is right around the corner after the summer months, one (I) must strategically consider where they would like to go during that time as well. So I crouch here and ponder...

New York is usually one of my sure choices every year, but the question this year is when?
San Francisco. Beautiful weather, family, food, shopping. Very, very tempting.
Texas. I live in the huge state of Texas and while I've been to most of the big cities, there's always room for exploring those again.
And Beyond. Asia is probably out of the question this year. Again. My cousin is getting married in Australia early next year, so if I do attend, might as well be more efficient about it and save my legs from extra cramping time.
