This Weekend

Lillian's 21st birthday!  Getting the day started at the UCI Anthill Pub & some kind of pear cider with seemingly no alcohol content whatsoever.  You would choose this! ..and not drink it either hahahaha 

Nighttime birthday festivities--@Honda-Ya in Little Tokyo.  More sushi for me = definite plus.  Sank you Lillian for the good choice in restaurant tahaha 

All the above pictures (+more yakitori not pictured) were menu items Jeff & I ordered for ourselves.... And yes, we would order more than what half the table did combined.  Right before clubbing.  But good thing we already have each other & won't scare each other away with our food babies

Wasn't originally gonna post this..but bf looks too cute not to.  I would go & kill a perfectly good picture!

With my newly-adopted brother & sister + bf @ Exchange LA.  VIP Lillian ended up getting us a table + bottle service fo freee. Special thanks to Shirley Hsu

Oh, and I forgot to add in the stop we all made at Beard Papa's during our down-time before the club.  Once again, so glad we have each other. 

Saturday morning--Shy and worried Coco on the way to Lillian's puppy party for Marley's 1st birthday.  It's almost as if he knew he'd be thrown into a crowd of excited, hyper puppies...  He did surprisingly well, however.  The only puppy he bullied was Ninja, a 6-month old German Shepherd--approximately 5x his size  

Spontaneous Sunday brunch with Jenny & Brian at Old Vine Cafe in The Camp.  Super cute little cafe tucked behind the giant Native Foods that I never knew existed.  Pictured: mimosa, porcini? macaroni & cheese, + open-face.  Prettiest presentation ever?!

AND... right outside...MY FAVORITE!  I have an inexplicable love for hammocks.  I do have a history of running and jumping into them & thus flipping us over, but I refrained myself from doing so today because this hammock was situated over a cement/rock bed.  Had lots of fun on it nonetheless & ummmmmm can we please get one in the near future? (hi boyfriend)

Pitstop at Mitsuwa for yummy Japanese snacks & headed over to the pool! Definitely had to take advantage of the amazing 80 degree-ish weather we had today.  +more sushi, of course.  

Concluded the weekend with Jerry's homemade garlic-infused steak, salmon, toast & corn.  The garlic-infused refers to all the aforementioned--garlic on EVERYTHING! But I couldn't imagine it any other way.  Yummy Sunday dinner with bf, Jerry, the bro & sis + Susan
