See the full gallery on posterous

Today at Garden Fresh Market on Fraser street, I saw the cutest little eggplants (they're about the size of my palm!), Indian cantaloupe (they look like basketball balls!) and a bizarre veggie called "shahi karela". I wonder what it tastes like.
Anyway, this is the fun I have after getting my eyebrows threaded at the salon down the street with my mom. I also bought delicious veggie samosas nearby. Mmmmm I heart Indian cuisine.

familia

AND THAT'S NOT EVEN ALL OF US!  THANKS TJ FOR THE PHOTO :)

that's what my god siblings and i refer to our big family.  it's kinda funny because aside from our immediate families, we are not blood related.  our parents were all friends (barkada, as they would call it) since they were in university back in the philippines.  somehow they all found their ways to vancouver, and stayed connected for that long. 
last night, we celebrated the parents who would be turning 60 (or 60-something) this year.  it was a great night, with all us "kids" preparing the food and dessert and drinks. we knew from the start that the 'rents would be all up in our business, making sure that we were managing to do everything like they did it every other weekend or so for the last 30 years at least!  in the end, and to the surprise and amazement of our parents, we pulled off a great backyard party.
i know that our generation has to start doing this on a regular basis... some of us already have kids of our own!  hopefully, we can make this a summer tradition.  it's tough now that a few of us are far away (annie, char... dennis ;p), but i know that we'll make it work.  my sisters, g'sibs and i all grew up knowing that the weekend was never far away and that we'd always get to see each other and hang out with the best brothers and sisters we never had.  when i have kids, i want them to have that too.

a few scenes of seattle...
alki beach at sunset, as seen from downtown seattle.
the seattle skyline at about 830am, as seen from alki beach... also from alki: peeps fishing and a view of some poles sticking out of the water.
green lake at sunset. yes, the same green lake made famous by the green lake murders. it's gorgeous though. and it reminds me of kits beach, but with less "o.c. bitches" attitude. not none, just less ;)

06.07.10 danny's screamers!

the BEST solution for a hot day. i usually choose rootbeer slush with the vanilla soft serve. mmmm it's an even cooler take on a rootbeer float!
the only place that i know of that sells this fabulous concoction is in richmond (garden city and francis i think) at danny's screamers. it's been there a while now and i'm glad its still around. taste one if you ever get a chance.

Low rider cruiser for sale: $200 O.B.O. **holler at me!**

See the full gallery on posterous

It's only been out on a ride about 5 times.

It's tuned up, detailed, there's air in the tires, and it's pretty much awesome.

It has to go because it just takes up too much space that this guy does not have.

There's no kickstand, BUT we're throwing in its original cruiser handlebar as well as the ape hanger handlebar (as shown in the photos) FREE :)

Please holler at me if you are interested.
