Fly birdy fly!!!!

I'm really becoming a bit of royalty! I've started noticing that in the last year or so... I mean I get aggravated when certain little comforts are not immediately available, when I'm not served with a proper amount of ceremony at a restaurant, or when I have to wait for something in line with mare mortals.. etc, etc, etc.

Like for example, I was getting extremely annoyed at being in Economy class during my flight to LA. (AS IF I've ever flown first class.) However, the people next to me were definitely not cute enough, except for Wallstr of course, the food was lacking! (No literally... there was NO food at all, only for ordering... like I'm going to give you $5 bucks after having payed hundreds already!!).

Anyway, I was just thinking, where the heck is this all coming from? I've never been a demanding litl brat...

But really is it too much to ask not to contract SARS on a freakin' plane!??? Seriously this chick next to us kept coughing up a lung in a very un-elegant manner!!! Ewww!!

*After further harassing of Nico... he finally told me that I should bring a guide book with me just in case... since he really is not from around there (being that he is just on a work project) so I should probably prepare something if its not ok to just wing it... than he yawned...

I think he is just pulling my leg... but what if he's really not? Ok, I'm SO making my own plan, so if he drops the ball, I'll take over!

By the way, that's Marvin on the photo, my traveling duckie. If you press him on the tummy, he quacks in a very repramanding manner at you! He is awesome!

PS: the game US vs Czech R. was just a painfull disgrace... so sad... why can't the US just join the rest of the world in playing some good foot ball... and maybe using the metric system!!

Oh my gosh.. I'm so exhausted!! What a weekend...

Well, I was totally trying to pump Nico for information on what the plans are and he would just NOT give any hints!! Men really don't get it! Like seriously HOW am I supposed to get ready for romance and surprises when I have NO IDEA what we are doing thus, have NO IDEA what outfits to put together nor weather or not I should practice my surprised facial expressions!!!?!?!! (Surprised looks are just so much more natural looking when practiced.)

What I am trying to say is that I'm super excited and apparently Nico reserved something or other but he won't tell me any details. Since by nature I'm totally take charge and control type, I'm doing my own research and putting together a program, just for my own personal tranquility... and well, so I have SOME sort fo guide line as to what kind of outfit planning must take place :)

This weekend infact I was just running through some potential color palette ideas, as well as the colors for my pedi and mani. And as you all Vogue reading peoples know, mani and pedi should NOT match!! This is all hard work, I'm tired!

I want to do Kaka... badly!

World Cup has started! So? Who are we cheering for?? I have not decided yet. I always cheer for Brazil because my Brazilian friends introduced me properly to the whole craze... And in 2002 I remember the lovely time cheering Brazil with my Brazilian landlord and all their family and friends. Brazilian are definitely crazy about their soccer, really, it feels like they would actually die for it.

Yet, I think its boring if one team is always the favorite and always wins, yet its pointless to cheer the clear looser as there is no way they could take to top spot. Nico obviously is cheering Germany and when there I will be cheering them as well, but I still want to pick my own team.

Brazilians are just so adorable though... Like how CUTE is Kaka!?? haha and with a name like that too...! (yes Kaka is a player and you though I was just being gross in the title..)

uffff Decisions Decisions....

Dumb ass questions deserve a...

Ale: Hey Nico! Guess what!? I'm planning on getting a hair cut... shaving my head actually!! Are you going to break up with me??

Nico: Ohh noooo! NO WAY! I would never break up with you over your hair cut! ...I am sure I would be able to come up with MUCH better reasons to dump you!!

Ale: ..Ahhmm... Great! ...I guess... huhh?....



*note: no I'm not shaving my head, I'd look good (think Natalie Portman), but I'm not going to do that.

Time to start freaking out. YEY!!!! My trip is nearing!!!

This Saturday will be a much needed visitation of the vulgar russian beauty salon to get my fix of world news, new ways of forming sentenses using only profanities... cappuccinos and little french chocolates!! (An decadently vulgar russian restaurant "caters" their saturdays). Its like french country side trashy-chic. I love it, makes me feel so relaxed and envigorated!

Plus my hair has gotten way to long. I'm going to tell Nico that I'm shaving my head, and see what he'll have to say. (heeehehe, yeah, I know... I'm 5!)

Another curiosity... after all that carb eating in california... I actually lost 5lbs. Hmmmm... must have been those hills in San Fran...

Quick 10 overview

I'm back. I can't believe its over!! Bummer! Though at the same time I'm glad and I'm even looking forward to going to work tomorrow. Yep, I must have picked up some exotic virus from the lovely fellow passengers on the flight back. Is sars still a problem? I'm not sure, I've been away from the world for a week...

The pictures! I hope to go through them in the next day or so and put up the gorgeousness that we saw!

Some of the highlights of our trip included:

1. Girls' night out in Santa Barbara... under-aged boys trying to hit on us... (no.. WAY underaged)

2. Making our limo driver 30 mins late to a wedding she was supposed to work after taking us around wine tasting.

3. "Tasting" enough wine to be able to float... fly... and perform other similar tasks.

4. Pacific Highway one between San Louis Obispo and Monterey... on EMPTY. (What! gas costs a lot now days, so we decided we just won't use it!)

5. The most gorgeous beach in Carmel!

6. San Fran has got way to many dam hills! (Good workout for the ass, which is probably necessary considering their many good yummy restaurants and the Ghirardelli chocolate sold in all forms and shapes all over the place.)

7. Gilroy has got AWESOME fruit wine and champaine!!! And tastings are free!

8. Its hot in L.A

9. Paradise Cove is a nightmare on a weekend!!!

10. The "other" side of Malibu rules.

And very important lesson we learned from a BABY: if you want someone to like you, smile and laugh alot!
Duhhh! (Oh, sometimes gurgling sounds may be good too.)

Hasta man~ana banana
