Arkham City came out about a month ago, and even though I bought it on it’s weekend release, I’m still far from completing the game. Surely, it’s possible that my time hasn’t been devoted to the game — but let me tell you, there are so many different side stories and quests, I believe even if I was given all my weekends and nighttime, I’d probably still be working on it… (and if I wasn’t, [...]
We took the opportunity to go on a photoshoot/kayaking experience advertised by Living Social. The deal was $80 for a beach photoshoot, kayaking, and one 8×10 photo. To get all your photos was much more costly.. That’s how they get you… Shoot, that’s how they got me. But it was a great experience and even with NO PHOTOS, kayaking in the pacific ocean, rowing towards seals, and into caves, it was lot of fun. Check [...]
Oh Halloween came around and there are so many events to go to! I went to three… The Los Angeles Hayride: This was not really worth the money. There is a maze and a mirror maze, but the hayride is the big deal. The wait is ridiculous. It was fun, but I wouldn’t do it again. We came here around 9pm but the line was about a 3 hour wait minimum. Errr no thanks… So [...]
On November 5th and 6th, Los Angeles held it’s first annual Comikaze 2011! There were special guests: Stan Lee, and Elvira Mistress of the Dark! Lots of games: Old School Nintendo Jam competition, Magic, and of course the must-have at any comic book convention: A COSPLAY contest! In case you don’t know, a cosplay contest is when each contestant handmakes their costume. It can’t be store bought, and it’s always original. I interviewed quite a [...]
We were all pumped when Nintendo released the Nintendo 3-D-S earlier this year. The handheld game console promised 3 dimensional effects without additional accessories. Game play would be most real and portable at all times. But what the Nintendo company failed to do was add the 2nd circle pad. With only one circle pad conveniently situated on the left, the portable device fails to mirror it for the right. Now it faces a huge [...]
In a nutshell: F.U.N. we got to spend some time on a Lilypad, courtesy of my friend Jo and Michael. These cats know how to have a good time! We had so much fun that by the time night fell, I was passed out already! Vegas by day DEFINITELY competes with Vegas by night.
A friend of mine started a clothing company that turns basics into College Spirit. Check out “College Hautees”, where you can buy sexy, cute, fun, collegiated gear. I had the opportunity to do their MakeUp for their first shoot. Check out these chicks and …. GO BEARS!
My absolute favorite comfort food is Shabu-Shabu. Meaning “Swish-Swish” in Japanese, it is basically boiled water with kombu (seaweed) flavor, vegetables, tofu and noodles, all coming together in one cooking pot on a table to share. It reminds me so much of growing up with my parents and brother. After my mom and brother moved away, my father and I relied on Thursdays as our Shabu-Shabu days. We both had busy schedules, but this meal [...]
Are you watching this season’s Masterchef? I had the chance to join a photo shoot for Masterchef’s top 12 contestant Esther Kang. She was a lawyer who decided to leave the judicial world to pursue her dream as a chef. She currently is making really tasty goodies and her company, “Batch From Scratch”, is growing real fast. She is a true inspiration… Follow your dreams because this girl did and she is doing just [...]
Alright so Los Angeles beaches aren’t exactly the cleanest and prettiest, but they are swimeable. Just about 45 minutes down to to the O.C., all you pooch-lovers can take you and your furry-kiddo to the Huntington Beach Dog Beach! It’s a great spot: Your dog can really learn to interact with other dogs, get active, and if gutsy enough, get in the water! Wakame was a bit afraid, as she weighs less than 15lbs, the [...]
