ahh the beach was lovely. weather was great, water was cool, sun was shining. i had a nice relaxing time at newport. what isn't so lovely is the nasty sunburn i got on my back=(. it's in such ugly spots too! imagine 2 red huge blotches of sunburnt skin on your shoulder blade area. I wore my little fisherman hat so that my face wouldn't get dark and I guess it shaded the top middle of my back and kept the rest of my skin exposed to the sun. Ha, it's sooooooooo ugly! I went to the beach to get rid of my wifebeater tan lines in front, and I end up getting more nasty tan lines in back.

boo and you know what else sucks? I brought my slr in case I saw something worthy of my film to shoot, hahah. So of course I do see something. Cute dolphins swimming and jumping near the shore. Now I've seen school of dolphin at the beach before but this was different. They were so freaking close to the shore jumping around by all the bodyboarders and people just standing around. It was crazy! At one point I had that flashback again of the Simpson's where the dolphins take over the world and freaked out a bit. But then they started jumping and stuff that they were cute again in my eyes=). Anyways, I go to my bag to grab my camera and as I'm taking it out of the case I see pieces of glass. Yeah, I forgot to mention that as i was grabbing all my stuff to bring to the beach I dropped my camera. I didn't think it damaged my camera though bc of the case. booo...there goes my fd 35-105. i'm trying to figure out if it's better to just replace the outer portion of glass that got shattered or just get a whole new lens altogether. at first i got relieved thinking only the uv filter got shattered, but now i'm not too sure what else broke. so i better take it to the camera guy again.

lesson learned: don't be a freaking clutz! oh well, i can't complain though. i was able to get some really good shots with that lens. and i did have an awesome time at the beach..so, all good.

happy hour at the edison was pretty cool. it reminds me of a huger version of the basement in downtown long beach. pretty laid back lounge area. had me a few soco and pineapples and of course my shot of patron! on the car ride home i think i was like a non-stop talking machine..ahhaha. my co-worker had a breathalizer in his car so of course we all tested it out..it went from 0.03, 0.056, and mine..0.079. lucky i wasn't the driver! but then again i still was under the legal b/a level!

so whenever me & lou go on mini roadtrips in my car, we like to burn a cd just for the trip. the latest one was for the mudrun drive and it's full of all these random songs. every time i listen to it now i always repeat nuthin but a g thang, summertime in the lbc, lionel ritchie's you are and pop goes my heart (music and lyrics soundtrack). ahahha it's freaking awesome! i love those songs. nothing like bumping the music with the windows rolled down and singing like who gives a f#&*! haha. you know y'all have those moments too=).

had such a lazy filled weekend. well except for yesterday, had to come in for work. but other than that...the weekend was so relaxing. i caught up on some old movies..watched monster-in-law, that movie w/ katie holmes where she's the president's daughter, fantastic 4, need to finish up bend it like beckham. hehe that movie's so funny! mmmm and i liked watching michael vartan in monster-in-law, he's sooo yum! always give me that "awww" you're so cute feeling! like when he was running down the bleachers to kiss drew barrymore in never been kissed. man i love that scene!!

and now..it's only monday...here we go.
