Things I Love Monday, week 16 - 18

Huuuuuuh. This is the price I pay for slacking off. I abandoned my blog for a couple of weeks & now is catch up time! Hahahaha... My fault :(

Anyways, I can't believe it's May already. The year has gone by so fast it's not even funny! And sooo many things had happened in the past week, I'll just have to summarize it. Sorry guys :/

• My photo shoot with A Sight of Love is posted in their blog. So excited to see them. I will post my favorites soon!
• My lovely boyfriend got me lilies, just because. *swoon*
• Baking Session with Abigail. She was soo happy that it made me happy!
• I signed up for the Color Run in Sacramento. Yay!
• I made Tom Yum soup on a cold day
• I experimented and made cupcakes in a jar. Cute! But I don't think I like the idea of baking them in the jar. It took forever.
• Received a letter from my sponsored child. That really made my day.
• Finding out that I'm having a Nephew! Yay. I wish and pray for a safe and healthy pregnancy for my sister, Melissa.
• Watched an Western Made Indonesian Movie, The Raid: Redemption. Not my kind of movie, but hell yea I'm damn proud of it. Really, really great quality.
• Start watching "Mad Men". At one point, I told my boyfriend that we should start dressing like the 50s. Heck yeah.
• I did my first Health presentation for my Church on HTN, Stroke & Heart Attacks. I'm surprised I survived public speaking! Eek!
• Rob, Lina, Akira & I signed up for 5kFoamFest in the end of May. AWWWW YEAAAA.
• One word: COLDPLAY. OMG OMG OMG. The best concert I've ever attended, EVER. It was magical, powerful, happy, neon-bright, fun-fest... I was really lost of words. Robert & I had the bestest time ever. Chris Martin is a brilliant. Genius. Twas really an eye-gasm. His energy was really contagious. Even until now I'm still Coldplay-high. Honestly, Coldplay plays a big part in my relationship with Rob. Only both of us could relate. Hee hee. 
• Twas nice to have a "weekend" in the middle of the week (I took Wednesday off, the day after the concert. Oh yeah)
• Weekend getaway to San Diego. I visited my uber awesome cousin, Elaine, and her boyfriend (who's like totally AWESOME) and did a baking session at their house (and their house is AMAZING). I'm so glad I was able to share my passion of baking with them. Thanks again for your hospitality!
• Watching "Super 8" in their super cool home theater.
• Starting the join the "Fifty Shades of Grey" wagon. 
• I'm starting to like Cats, thanks to Tim & Elaine's cat trio (esp Monkey!)
• Finally trying Hodad's in Ocean Beach. Wow. Amazing burger. 

Pretty much that's the summary of my 3 weeks. 

Now, pictorial time.

I will be back.

I really wanted to blog tonight, but lots of awesome things are happening, I can't focus! Hah!
So I will be back soon to update (ok, with a recipe too), so please hang in there with me!

moonbeams & bunny kisses,

Rima.

ps: in the mean time, please enjoy my favorite song from my favorite band... That I will be seeing tomorrow night (hence, the excitement!)

I'm not a Runner...

... and I think I'm going crazy.

As you may all know, I'm going to participate (with the Pillow) at Sacramento's The Color Run 5K in August. Seriously I can't wait.

One of my favorite bloggers, Rubyellen from My Cakies, did the Color Run this past weekend in Irvine, and here's the team that she joined. Seriously I'm super stoked. I can't wait.



Aaaaaannndddd...

I just joined the 5K Foam Fest this May 26th in Temecula, CA. Seriously. Foam. Foam Party. You run thru mud, then run thru Foam. Think Wipeout and Foam. Foam = Bubbles. Who doesn't love Bubbles??!?!?!



How F.U.N is that???

Yes, I am not a sporty girl, but this year I want to challenge myself (I started it with that Honduras trip of mine) and this year I'm gonna do 2 5Ks. Say what?

I am inspired.

I was browsing around for some baking class... Stumbled upon the AI - Orange County Culinary program, and my eyes went wide when I saw the tuition cost. Damn.

Then the Boyfriend said, "Education is not cheap."
My reaction, DUUH.

Yet, the Boyfriend said, "If you want pastry school, got to do Paris! There's probably some 3-6 months courses..."

Hence my research begin.

It would be the BIGGEST dream of mine to live in Paris and learn about baking and pastry. God, I got goosebumps just thinking about it.

Why not just spend a couple of month in a foreign land learning something that I love... Love to do?

Thanks my love for giving me the drive!

(this is a MAJOR bucket list)
