Atlantic City Trip

My boyfriend uploaded pictures from our trip to Atlantic City and here they are as I promised:

• Vintage Red Wool Dress (given to me by my dear sister :] )
• Black Tights, Black Payless Patent Peep Toe Wedges
• Black Patent Vintage Clutch, Vintage Cocktail Ring, "Chanel" earrings & vintage bow hair comb featured in the picture below

My boyfriend was nice to pose for my blog in his outfit :P  I know he's wearing a vintage tie, button down shirt, cardigan (given to him as a gift from one of our friends), I gave him those jeans for Christmas & his shoes.. well I have no idea where he got those from LOL

Here's a better view of my vintage cocktail ring & my delicious midori sour cocktail ;)

My boyfriend winking at me & being cute as always with his cocktail :)

I thought the bar looked nice at the Continental restaurant at night.

Szechuan Shoe String Fries with spicy mustard sauce.  We ordered this as an appetizer because my brother told me it was good.  However, I forgot he told me this could feed a party of 7 people or more HAHAHA!  So basically, the waiter was walking to us with these fries which could probably be the same size as my head & boyfriend's head combined!  We had to bring the rest back to the hotel & finished the rest the next night HAHA!

My boyfriend's dish:  Seared tuna with mushroom risotto (so yummy!)

Pardon the way my dish looks LOL I started eating my dish almost halfway and realized I forgot to take a picture of it.  It's more appetizing than the way it looks HAHA!  I ordered steak with wasabi mashed potatoes, & bok choy.  

We took a picture together when we came back from dinner & browsing through the mall.

Thank you for a lovely trip Pat.  I love you.  :)

M.I.A.

I haven't written in here for practically 2 months.  I miss writing in here, but I've been so busy with work & whatnot that I'm too tired to update this thing.  Finally, I found time to write in my blog :)  

In late August/early September, my friend Tiff and I hungout after I got out of work.  First we stopped by Pinkberry & it was our first time eating yogurt there.  Luckily, I got free yogurt (featured on the right w/ oreo cookie crumbs) because the customer before me wanted white chocolate chips and it had dark chocolate chips.  Therefore, I got a free one because they didn't want it to go to waste which equals good & bad.  It was good because it was free & yummy, I mean who doesn't like free food.  It was bad because I had a sore throat that day and I knew I shouldn't have eaten it because I knew it would make it worse and I ended up being sick the whole weekend after that.  Oh well, it was worth it, because it was delicious! HAH!

Afterwards, we took the subway uptown and it was the last day to view the bronze statues of the Hello Kitty Characters created by Tom Sach.  I was like a little girl when we got there, I took so many pictures of Hello Kitty!  I love Hello Kitty and I am not ashamed to say that at all! AHAHA She's my homegirl ;P  Here are some of the pictures that we took while we were there:

To view more of the pictures that we took, here is a link to my flickr page:  hellokimmy

I am going to update this more, I miss writing in here.  I need to find more downtime for myself to relax and write in here more often. ahhh! the crazy world we live in today! haha

Until next time...

Dinner Date & Movie

Three weeks ago I had dinner with my boyfriend & after that we watched Dark Knight.  Dark Knight is freekin AWESOME!!! hehe I was so proud of Heath Ledger, it's so sad that he passed away at a very young age.  :(  I applaud his performance in the Dark Knight.  I must admit, playing the role of Joker must have been really difficult but he managed to act as a crazy psychopath very well.  

Anyways.. here is a picture of my outfit that I wore on my dinner/movie date :)

 

- AMT Vintage Summer Dress (My favorite part is the bow in the back :] )

- AMT Vintage Orange Floral Earrings

- AMT Vintage Owl Pendant Necklace

- AMT Vintage Floral Heart Ring

- HALA VINTAGE Basket Handbag

- Afaze Gold Studded T-Strap Wedge Sandals

My boyfriend & I ate at one of our favorite restaurants, T-thai in Hoboken.  The lighting is dim with candle light, cozy and there are tables outside as well if you prefer to eat outside on a beautiful night.  Did I mention the food is delicious?! :) 

After we bought our tickets to watch Dark Knight.  We bumped into one of our high school friends and started talking.  During our conversation some strange woman approached me and started talking to me.  Here is what happened:

Strange Woman: "I need to talk to you."

Me:  "Yeah.  Who are you?"

Strange Woman:  "A very good thing is going to happen to you."

Me:  (realizing .. Oh she's one of those "people" haha) "ummmm...??"

Patrick:  (brings me to his side) "I'm the good thing that happened to her in her life haha!"

Strange Woman:  "You really need to know what it is."

Me:  "Are you going to charge me to know what it is."

Strange Woman: "Yeah..."

Me:  "How much?"

Strange Woman:  "20 bucks"

Me:  (Shocked!) "20 bucks!  We just spent 20 bucks for movie tickets! Are you serious?!"

Strange Woman:  "Okay, 10 bucks."

Patrick:  (looks at me)  "Don't do it."

Me:  (realizing I would never pay 10 or even 20 bucks to pay to know my so called 'future' and knew that she probably would have made it up.  Plus, I'm Catholic and I would not want to go against my beliefs to know what lays ahead of me in the future.  What would be the point of life? Right?)

Me:  "That's OK.   I don't want to know"

Strange Woman:   "You sure?"

Me:  "Yeah."

Strange Woman:  "Okay, well if you change your mind, here's my information."  (hands over her flyer)

Me:  (Takes flyer even though I am going to throw it away)  

The lady walks away and we start laughing because we read her flyer and her name is Bujie! AHAHA What a name!  We look at her & she's smoking a cigarette.  Crazy people these days... haha.

I've been really good with my shopping habits.  I have only been spending money on things I need not "want." haha It's been really difficult.  However, I keep reminding myself that I work hard for my money and I really need to save it for things that really matter such as student loans that I will be paying in a couple of months, food! haha, etc..  However, I did take pictures of my purchases during my last few days of shopping like a mad woman haha

Hello my name is Kim...

and i'm a SHOPAHOLIC  (everyone:  hi kim!) ahahaha I have been shopping way too much. lol I have an addiction, I need help.  haha I can't help it, but as of now I really need to stop shopping and save my money.  I have enough clothes as it is.  However, I do need more work clothes... oh boy, that might just have to wait. lol here are pictures of my recent purchases that I have bought over the past couple of weeks:

F21 Purchases:

Betsey Johnson Purchases: 

Betsey Johnson was having a big SALE:  Buy one, get one FREE! Obviously, I could not pass up a good bargain. Luckily, my lovely boyfriend purchased one dress & got one free as an early birthday present (THANK YOU HONEY! :])  4 Betsey Johnson dresses & a pair of pink tulip earrings, OH YES!!! :P

AMT Vintage Purchases:

I love how my Hala Vintage eel skin handbag goes perfectly with my heels purchased from AMT.  The heels are very low which are good so I can wear them anytime & I just need to get the inside of the shoes glued down.  :)

Yesterday I watched Hancock with my boyfriend.  There are mixed reviews about this movie but I liked it.  I honestly think it could have been a little bit longer and more action.  Overall, I thought it was funny, emotional and had a lot of action.  

Yesterday, my boyfriend and I had dinner in Hoboken.  Afterwards, I had a craving for a chocolate milkshake so we went to the Frozen Monkey Cafe & bought a large Cookie Crunch Milkshake to share (it's so delicious, definitely worth my $5.45 hehe)

Look it's Ken & Barbie's house (they're divorced now hahaha, this is located in Edgewaters)
