dinner at garibaldi's

Had a great time at Garibaldi's in Oakland with my friend Mikey's family after his graduation. Did it ever cross my mind that having both steak tartare and a grilled new york steak would be too excessive? Maybe for a split second. I definitely recommend this place if you're in the area. The restaurant has recently been split in half to add a less expensive sister restaurant Marzano which I hear is equally as delicious.

So umm, someone has been partying/enjoying life a little bit too hard post finals and forgot she had planned to start blogging a lot more. Oh well! Imagine my surprise when I logged on to my Google Reader and found my makeup-less mug on Joanna's blog. It was definitely a great way to start my day since I've been following her blog for years so THANK YOU!! For anyone who is new to this blog: hello, and I hope you guys will stick around longer because I have tons of food trips and outfits planned for this summer. (Scratch the planned outfits part, I usually just grab what I can find...)

The Bench I've been working on Forever!

Probably not the most flattering pictures of me due to the lack of sleep + spending too much time in the warehouse but I wanted to share with you guys the bench I made this semester.
I just finished putting the bench together today which is why my wedges are covered in sawdust and although you can't tell in this picture but the hardest part was doing the 115 degree angle on the back of the bench. Making that angle and gluing it together was a pain in the butt. Not to mention sanding this entire bench by hand was also a pain but I did it! hehe

I still have to put one more coat on the bench but I had to hurry up and go to my professor's warehouse to get it photographed. The photographer wouldn't let anyone wear shoes because it was going to make the screen dirty but I begged the photographer to let me wear my matching zara clogs. :)

btw, Thanks for still stopping by and emailing me despite the lack of updates.
I've been very behind in getting back to you guys via email but will write back very soon.

WOOHOO only one more final left and I'm done for the semester!
