pinheads

We are the Pinheads. Three awesome ladies all studying graphic design who absolutely love food, laughing, and each other.

Last week, the three of us were FINALLY able to all hang out and enjoy summer together. So first off, we had a picnic on the beach and talked forever.

The next day, we went to THE happiest place on earth, Disneyland. We also got dinner at Albertos and shared the greatest meal of carne asada fries ever. Back at Disney I finally got to see World of Color, go on the new Little Mermaid ride, got a pineapple whip (mah fav), rode the Storybook ride, Star Tours, the Haunted Mansion, and Big Thunder Mountain TWICE. YESSSS!! SO much fun.

I love my Pinheads :]

Disneyland Bachelorette Edition

My beautiful friend, Celina is getting married to my twin and dear friend, Robbie in a just few weeks; so how do we celebrate her last days as a bachelorette?

Why going to Disneyland, of course!!

A couple of her bridesmaids and myself took this lady out all day to the happiest place on earth. I'm hoping all of the walking around burned some of the 20935720525+ calories I ate. Holy. But I cannot and will not deny a pineapple whip float nor a funnel cake covered in strawberries if they are calling my name.

Anyways, can't wait for the wedding to see my two favorite THK friends be wed, so we can party all night like old times :]

Summer 2011 Update

Summer is almost up, and I failed at blogging about anything, which is really sad, because this has been the most adventurous summer ever. So I will do a small recap!

Besides working a few days during the summer, every weekend
in July had been jam-packed.

4th of July weekend highlights:
  • met Bear for lunch at his work where we got my first mac and cheese pulled pork sammie from Bear's favorite food truck.

  • went to a beach in Carlsbad where we found a secret parkinglot, read, and ate strawberries.

  • went to the zoo, ate nummy food, met Bear's friend, and road the tram.

  • bought my new MacBook Pro that I have recently named Beemo.
  • Oh yeah, and for the 6th year in a row, didn't watch the fireworks together. Bear had a test to study for, so we did a raincheck till next year :]
The weekend after that I just went to visit my parents. That's always relaxing. I just sleep and get loved by my parents.

July 15th weekend aka Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt. 2 Premiere:
  • Waited for this weekend since part 1 came out. Alex and I met up with Kim and Greg in Victorville around 9pm (poor Kim and Greg had been there since 3pm). I busted out Beemo and Kim and I rewatched part 1 until the midnight premiere. I thought the movie was good and I know I have to see it again to see it strictly as a movie and not compare it to the books, but I think my expectations were too high or something!!! Sigh. It was still awesome though. Cried my eyes out.
Then it was time to prep for the annual Harry Potter Party! And what was awesome this time around was that Bear was there to be our guest of honor - Harry Potter himself! The party was great. The food was awesome as usual with our licorice wands, chocolate frogs, chickens, potatoes, etc etc. The house elves would have been proud. The games were great too, and even though I didn't win the trivia game (because the questions were insane) I think this was one of the best HP parties to date!





Weekend of the 23rd was COMIC-CON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • I don't have the pictures yet, but once I get them, I'll post them. Tiring, but AMAZING 4-day weekend, and I can't wait to do it all again next year. My brother and I are hardcore about certain things, so we will wake up at 3 in the morning to wait in line for something. And we did just that. Highlights were seeing Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, Game of Thrones panel, Avatar Panel, Colin Ferrell, the list of actors and actresses goes on... but the BEST thing I took away from Comic-Con is my undying love for...
ADVENTURE TIME!! A hilarious and random cartoon.

July 30th weekend... sigh.
  • Bear came to visit. We went running in the morning and from then on it went down hill. I just started getting sick and feeling like crap. We went to go watch Cowboys and Aliens and ate at Johnny Rockets, but by the end of the day I had a headache and was getting a flu. Next thing you know, I'm bedridden for nearly a week with the flu. Awful. All I did was watch Netflix and anime since that's all my body let me do.
Since then, nothing adventurous has come up. Just work, and trying to enjoy summer until school starts. Oh, my church did their annual Dance Show, and I did one of the dance numbers. It was a Tahitian dance, and now I'm actually hoping I can carry on and take classes! It was fun and challenging!

My #1 fan who was kind enough to come to both of my show nights :]

Between all of this I've been definitely going to the movies a lot, but I'll do that post later. I've been really blessed to have such a fun summer with amazing friends and family to enjoy it with. Maybe Heavenly Father is prepping me since he knows this semester is supposed to be the most intense semester of the program :[
