chic & The City

For the first 20 years of my life I never took interest to museums. They always involved the forced, long, strenuous field trips that required an entire day out, full of walking and usually heat. Inside was air conditioned, one perk, but filled with ancient sculptures and paintings from now dead people. In my young mind--Boring.

I don't know what triggered it (possibly the trip to Europe) but lately, I've developed a thirst for museums and the inspiration they birth. Yesterday I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met) during the Museum mile festival. Although rushed, I was able to capture the history of the exhibits and the presence they unveil.

I do

Some say the three most meaningful words are "I Love You". Three short words with so much power when put together. This past Saturday I realized that there are two short words, a total of three letters that can transform two separate lives. The infamous words, "I do". Three letters and two tiny words, but declaring so much; A commitment to a lifetime of togetherness and melding formerly separate lives into one distinct union.


Yes these words can be revoked and bro ken a part. But at the altar in front of the witnessing of onlookers, it stands for commitment to the sacred union of marriage.

B.Y.O.B. Bring Your Own Boba

This past Sunday I met up with some friends to go to a Filipino Fiesta. It took place on 30th and Madison. Refreshing. Fun. I'll do it again. Dollar lumpia (eggrolls), amazing mango flavored boba, swarms of people and a stage concert to liven up the events. Featuring a guest celebrity from the Philippines, Sarah Geronimo. The beautiful popstar princess, rallied cheers and screams from the crowd. Her stage presence and assumingly witty tagalog jokes had them chanting for more. Standing 5'9 amongst a crowd of 5'5 and under and the occassional 5'6, I had an advantage and almost effortlessly saw clear above the heads of the many fans in front of me.
