Randomness in LA!

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
My troupe and I had a “breather” in Los Angeles before coming home!  It was going to be unhealthy if we headed home straight to Manila!  Imagine traveling for more than 30 hours?  Hence we happily made a pit stop to LALALAND!!!!   We only had one thing on our mind when we were there and that was SHOPPING!!!!!  LOL!   America is really a haven for shopping!  They have the best priced items anywhere in the world and so we headed to favorite shopping haunts.  Topping that list is COSTCO!  LOL!
 The Tropa with our friend Grace Llamanzares in front of COSTCO!  had to pose here because everyone wanted to go here first!  LOL!

LOCO over LIBERTY!

Saturday, March 27th, 2010
One of the first things I do when I get the chance to go to Los Angeles is head of to TARGET! I feel so happy when I am there and somehow my jet lag disappears! They have the coolest things and I never ever get tired of it!
This time Target was able to get LIBERTY of LONDON to do a collection for them.
 I really think this is a strong statement for Spring, I cannot wait to start wearing some prints, it has been quite a while since I have?

Liberty of London is known for their prints. They have been around for ages and they are really cool and expensive! LOL! However because of Target’s brilliant philosophy of “Design for all,” Liberty is now available for everyone! I went NUTS!

Back to LA-LA LAND!

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

Greetings from LA-LA LAND!!! I amright now on route to what I call “The Trip of a lifetime”!!! Nix and I decided to have a breather before heading off to South America. Otherwise we would be in airplanes and airports for at least 35 hours and that, in anyone’s language is not cool!

Since this Dec I switched my luggages to RIMOWA! There are simply the most convenient travel suitcase in the market! They are so easy to travel with and not to mention so light!

 Nix gave me one for Christmas and I asked everyone in my family/friends  to chip in on my "RIMOWA"fund and was able to get a second one!  I feel so CHIC when I travel with them because they just swivel and move so elegantly!

 I was so lucky that I was able to use my Cathay Pacific miles on this trip!  Here is my seat!  I love Cathay Pacific as they have really the coolest In-flight entertainment!  The down side to this is I hardly get any sleep because I end up watching all the movies!  This trip I was able to watch. AN education (which was brilliant )and The 2009 best foreign film The Prophet (Dark and moving).

What I love about Los Angeles is its weather! It is always bright and sunny here. I have never seen a cloudy sky ever. We arrived at 2 in in the afternoon leaving plenty of room to shake off some jet-lag and do some “routines”.

 When we got out of the airport I was greeted by 2 gigantic cherry blossom trees!  Spring is definitely upon us!  I took this as a omen that this will be a really fantastic trip!  Aren't they just divine!

 I told you California has the bluest skies!  I took a photo of this really cool "Jetsonesque" structure on the way out of the airport.  My guess is this is early 60's?  I found it really cool? I wonder if this is the LAX control room?

 LA is all about the car and the highway for me!  It is so massive that your constantly driving around.

First stop is the IN-N- OUT burger! LOL! I do no know whywe always end up there but it seems when were in California the need to ingest some all american hamburgers and french fries become a priority! LOL! I love IN-N-OUT because you can really taste the quality! It’ s really good!

 Our first stop!  LOL!  I did not get to photograph our food!  Gutom level high!  LOL!  Google it later!  LOL!

LA Highlights

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

I have always loved the LA lifestyle, it’s so chill and relaxed and light.  I have so many friends and family who live around the LA area, so I come visit quite often.  What I love about this town is the weather, I mean the sun is always out and I don’t recall a cloudy day in LA ever.

I also love shopping in LA; unlike NY where you have to lug and carry everything that you buy.  Since everyone drives in California, you end up shopping and driving.  Here are some of my LA highlights before I head home to Manila!  I cannot wait to come home as I miss my bed and I miss my work!

Perfect weather always!
