My First Dinner

Occasion: My First Home Cooked Dinner Course
Location: My Apartment 40F Villa Alvarado, San Diego CA
Date: November 22, 2008

My friend Betsy and I decided to cook a full dinner course on our own. Hahaha..it's the first time I ever cooked a whole dinner by myself...and it was not too bad. We spent the afternoon doing grocery shopping and came back and started working the kitchen..hahaha...
I have to say...technically we didnt cook everything from scratch...but we take the time and effort to prepare it :p
We had potato salad, beef bolognaise pasta, a mixed veggie meat dish (my own recipe) and brownies and grapes for dessert.
Overall, I would count it as a great success...cause food looked like food and food tasted like food...and Im pretty sure no one got sick the next day...hahaha
We had so much fun preparing this meal that we're planning to do this more often...so look out for more yummy pictures of delicious meals coming your way soon!!

Allison & Julianne's Birthday!!

Event: Allison and Julianne's Birthday Celebration

Location: UNO's Bar and Grill, Fashion Valley, San Diego CA

Date: November 24, 2008

Julianne birthday was on Nov 22 and Alli's birthday is tomorrow (Nov 25), therefore we decided why not celebrate them together?? :)

We all went out for dinner at this pizza place in Fashion Valley. The food was great and we all had a great time. It's nice that now we're always celebrating everyone's birthday together....allows us to spend more time getting to know each other better than always in our tshirts and shorts sweating it out during practice...hahaha..

Well...it also give u guys a chance to meet more of my teammates from crew :)

Enjoy the pictures!!

San Diego City/ Coronado Island

Event: Night View of San Diego City

Location: Coronado Island, San Diego CA

Date: November 22, 2008

After having a nice dinner, my friends and I decided to just go out and do some sight seeing. We decided to go to this place called Coronado Island...I don't really have any pictures of it cause there's nothing much to snap in the night. But we did manage to get a beautiful sight of Downtown San Diego from Coronado Island. The view was just amazing...having the night lights reflect off the water...and being able to view the city from the outside...i loved it so much :)

Well, hope u guys enjoy the pictures too!!

San Diego Row for the Cure

Event: San Diego Row for the Cure
Location: Mission Bay, San Diego CA
Date: October 24, 2008

Sorry that these pictures are kinda late. These were pictures taken at our first novice race. I didnt race in this first race because I was yet to be cleared by NCAA. But its a good thing too because I get to snap pictures of the race :) I don't really have many pictures..but these will roughly give you guys an idea of how the bay looks like...where I train every morning before the sun rises up...and how we look like on the water...in the boat..
Hopefully now u guys can have a better understanding of what I do 6 times a week :)
This was an event in conjunction with The Fight Against Breast Cancer..
So enjoy the pictures!!
