February 13th, 2011: Happy National Mistress Day.

10:30 am: Me and my lovely guy headed toward San Diego for the day.

When we arrived we were starving and had a quick bite to eat at Subway (my favorite). Our first love day activity was giong out onto the harbor and ride around on a speed boat. It was adorable. It was a 2 person speedboat- very romantic. He loves to drive boats. He made me scream out a few times - he was going really fast and hitting huge waves - but i trusted him completely (the life vest also was nice). He had the biggest smile on his face the entire time - and that put a smile on mine. Towards the end - he asked me if i wanted to drive. I wasnt too sure about this idea. Im a bad driver on the roads - imagine on sea. Freaky! In the end i did drive a little (only while docking which means i could only go 5 miles an hr). He did a great job at teaching me.

3:00 pm: We had planned to go to the San Diego Safari Zoo. I was so excited. Unfortunately, we found out that they closed at 5 so it was too late to go. We ended up going to a Navy Museum. We walked around and looked at the aircrafts. He knew alot about the planes and was a great tour guide.

Dinner time came around and we headed to gas lamp district. Well, this is where he thought the restaurant was (it was actually in old town san diego). We (now in Old Town) walked around saw the little stores and had a very romantic dinner at this mexican restaurant - outdoors, fire pit, candlelight lighting - AMAZING!.

8:00 pm: We headed home. Exhausted. We walked into his apartment and his rommate had prepaired a little something for us. He had 2 bottles of wine, had the fire going, and the grammys on the tv. It was perfect. We had a few glasses, laughed, smiled, and watched the grammys.

Time for Vday presents came. He walked up behind me and gave me the biggest hug as he handed me a awkardly shaped present. I was so excited. Then when i actually looked at the present i noticed it was wrapped in red chirstmas paper with little green christmas trees all over it. I started laughing. "Christmas paper, babe. Really?" I said. "Hey, its red isnt it?" He replied. Wow, isnt he romantic ;) On my attempt to open it I noticed that he literally rolled my present in the paper. It had a minimum of 4-5 layers of paper. When i finally did get it open - it was chocolate. A huge bar of Toblerone candy & big box of Ferrero chocolate. And i mean they are cosco size. I didnt plan anything big to give him. I just got him cheezy red boxers with cheetah hearts on them as a silly gift. I knew he would never wear them but i thought they were cute.

The next morning I was woken up with a nice cup of coffee and him saying "good morning, valentine." Once i left his place I went out to my car just to find that he had placed a single pink and white rose in there. It meant alot because he said he doesnt believe in buying flowers because they just die and a waste of money.

Sweetest day ever!

A "Dead End" sign on the road to happiness..

Boy, has this weekend been tough on Muz and I. He talked to his parents (who are in India) on friday night, as usual, and they informed him that they are tearing down the building that they live in a year from now. They are building a 30 story apartment complex, which will take 2-3 yrs to complete. This pretty much means "get out." I talked to Muz on Saturday morning and could sence something was bothering him. He finally told me his parents situation and that he was worried. His parents are elderly (dad- 72, mom- 68).

Sunday came around (our day together)
I was suppost to show up at his place around 4pm. He kept calling me and calling me to come as early as possible - that he wanted to spend the day with me. I unfortunatly didnt get there til around 6. When I got to his place, i turned on the tv, as usual (they have apple tv.. amazing!) He then asked me to join him in his bedroom ("Um, okay".. was my tought). His roomate wasnt home so i didnt understand why we couldnt chat in the living room. I immediately got a horrible gut feeling, that something was wrong. He then closed the door, behind him and just hugged me so hard and wouldnt let go. He then sat me down on the bed (he was kneeling by my feet) and just hugged me so tight... All i kept saying "Whats wrong" "honey your scaring me" "what is it". He just kept shaking his head, and wouldnt say anything. He finally asked "where do you see us going?" I didnt know how to answer this. I hadnt thought it threw.. i was just going with the flow and see where we end up. He then told me that he has decided that he is moving back to India in a year to help his parents during there last years. At that very second water works began.

"What now?" "What does this mean?" " What about us?" "When are you coming back?" So many question just kept popping up in my head. He told me that this is permanent, and if he does come back it wont be for another 10yrs or so. For us- it means we need to end our relationship. I was heart broken. I couldnt talk. This was extremely hard. It is different when you are breaking up with someone that doesnt have feelings for you, have problems in the relationship. For us, we have none of that. We love/care about eachother so much. We enjoy just talking and being with eachother. He is the 1st personal i call or txt when something happens. I keep absolutely nothing from him. We layed in bed, in eachothers arms, and talked for hours. Trying to make sence of it all. I suggested: Skype, email, weekly phone calls, facebook, something... anything. He told me "NO". That type of life is not what we are destined. He said a phrase that just stuck in my head "If we do this, it will be like you are with a dead husband. I want to see you happy." He will be on the other side of the world - where night is day and day is night. I even considered moving to India with him. But, we both know that this is unrealistic.

Our conclusion: We go back to casual dating eachother, we date other people if we choose (we just cant tell eachother - it will be too painful), we still talk on the phone as usual, we will always be eachothers main support group - in other works - i got myself a new best friend. Our goal is to be able to say goodbye at the airport with good spirits, a smile, and wish eachother well.

So far... we are eachothers biggest support group. We call/txt eachother for a little picker upper when we feel down. Its working so far :) i kmow for a fact we will be ok. as long as we have eachother.

The man is 30!

Nope, that wasnt a typo. He really is the BIG 3-0! Ahhh! My boyfriend is an old old man. Muz turned 30 on Friday and he wanted to end his 20's with a bang and boy did he. He was overwhelmed with excitement. On Thursday the party began for him. His work project went "live," on monday, and the company he works for was celebrating (it was a few month's long project). The company had a dinner & drinks all set up for all the employees/managers. He works with ALL guys and 2 poor poor girls (being around so much testosterone-- wouldnt u feel bad for these girls too? HA!). All of the guys decided that they were gonna go out and celebrate Muz's Bday, and boy did they go crazy. Muz kept calling/texting me every hour just to let me know how happy and how much fun he was having with his coworkers---I was out in Hermosa Beach having dinner with 3 girlfriends (Chantelle, Sodani, and Lindsay) at the time. We were celebrating the fact that Linds is expecting a little boy in June. After dinner Chantelle, Sodani, and I decided to hit a couple of bars (especially our favorite one). The Shore is by far the funnest place to go. It has an amazing live band, its a little cozy place - that is just a blast. We always know its gonna be a good night when the doorman escorts us to the best bartender ever!

The BEST part of the entire night was at midnigt. I txt him "Happy birthday" (well i said more but thats pretty much what it was about). and he txt me back

"love u".
Say what? <-- was my reaction. At that moment, all my concerns about our relationship (and theres quite a few) just didnt seemed to matter. It was a great night!

Sunday:

This was my day to celebrate with my guy. I was determined to get down to hunington beach by 4- we had panned to watch the sunset (we have never been able to do that). Well it takes me an hour just to drive there so i knew i had to hussle and be out the door by 3. Yea, didnt happen. I did get to watch the last few secounds of the sunset - in my car - while at a red light. When i arrived, at his place, it was time for presents.
I got him 3 things:

a fossil wallet, an aero shirt, and quicksilver flip flops.

I was certain that he wouldnt like the wallet and shirt.. hes just so picky. but the flip flops are so comfy that i knew he would die. Well, he loved all 3. Yay! Im excited because i got the aero shirt for 9 buck, the wallet i had left over from months ago (i got it for my best friend but forgot to give it to him), and i used a "COUPON" for the flip flops (Im sure my sister would love the coupon part - i hate coupons). We celebrated his birthday at his favorite mexican restaurant "Marios." Of course, i had to get the restaurant people to sing to him... Oh and did he HATE me for it. He tried to get out of it by telling me that it would mean more to him if i was the one that sang "Happy Birthday" to him - - yea, sorry. Its funner when a crowd of people walk up to the table and sing (just ask renae - she had to wear a gigantic fish hat when we celebrated her bday). After dinner we headed back and watched a really boring movie. He passed out on my lap, it was so cute, and i wasnt too far behind.



(enjoying his birthday treat- he hates any type of fruit - so i got the cherry. Win! Win! in my book)


(While they were singing to him. you can tell hes gonna kill me. HA!)

Muzzie & I

Wine Tasting in Santa Barbara

(Dont tell him i posted this pic... he isnt too fond of it)

This is my lovely guy. His name is Hormuzd but goes by Muz. We met one lovely evening when i was down in Hunington beach (which is where he lives). We hit it right off. The 1st night we met we took a nighty walk on the beach, talked, and sat on one of the lifeguard towers and had our 1st kiss. Super sweet! We met on a random, hot, July wednesday and had our 1st official date on that sunday and we've been seeing each other ever since.

A little about him:

I call him Muzzie. Hes 29. Almost 30 (in january). He has his masters in computer science. He works by disneyland but lives in hunington beach (which is about 30-45 min away). He lives an hour away from me - 55 miles... SUCKS!!! he lives for beach volleyball (its HARD to get him away from it on the weekends!!!). He is from India (my family thinks this is funny because it reminds them of the quik-e-mart guy from the simpsons). His NFL team is the Chargers (and i'll cheer for whom ever there playing against - just to tick him off). He says he prefers me without makeup - i think otherwise. He always notices when i have changed something(ex: my finger nail polish - he always points it out). Makes my favorite Indian dish for me all the time.. MMMM!!!! We cant go to bed without saying "goodnight" to eachother. I love that part :)

A Little Catching Up to Do

I havnt had time to catch up on here. So lets do a quicky...

I went to San Diego for the 1st time a few weeks ago with Jen, Mondo, and Josh. We left friday. Headed down. It was such a LONG drive (mostly because of traffic) and we kept driving passed closed chick-fil-a's i was so sad. I kept saying.. "Mmmm.. chick fil a" and all my friends would say was "whats that?!" Oh, my friends are so deprived!!! I miss chick fil a so much. Once we arrived we checked into the hotel, but not before planning on how to sneak in past the front dest (we only paid for 2 people to stay in the room). Well me and mondo were trying to be TOO sneaky that we ended up getting lost in the hotel as we tried to find our room. So im sure it was pretty obvious what we were doing. We got into our room and started to get ready for a night out. We went to universal street (i think thats what its called) and did a little bar hopping. SO much fun! It was so refreshing just to spend time with the boys and jen. Once we got back to the hotel, mondo and i were craving tacos and the sweetheart went out and got us some :) The next day we had no idea what to do. I just wanted to see the city, since it was my 1st time there. We went to the beach for a little bit but it was FREEZING! then we headed to the SD fair. Which was packed. and the food looked delish! We got our tickets and went on into the fair... tried to get cash out of the ATM and NONE of our cards would work. We all kept getting declined. What?! We were broke. All of us put together had $40 on us, and that was gas money. SO we had to cut our trip short and headed back to LA.

I started dating a new fellow, Matthew. We met a few weeks ago. Once we got to know eachother we realized that his mom is one of my bosses... akward! But yes, his mom is my nurse supervisor. He is actually in Las Vegas Lake right now. He donated his kidney to his boss about 2 weeks ago and his boss has payed for him to go to LV all expense paid. and hes going to Mexico in about a week... LUCKY!!!!! I should donate my kidney and see what i get ;) jk. He and his boss have such an amazing bond.. he says that he would of done it in a heart beat again. So lets see how this new interest goes....

4th of july. Spent it in Hermosa Beach with Chantelle, Andalyn, Karrianne, Keisha, Kristen, and Olivia. It was SO much fun! We layed out in the beach all day and then enjoyed the fireworks over the ocean... so pretty! I think the thing that sticks out the most is when we were all talking about marriage and Karri ask "between all of us, which one do you guys will be married first" and everyone said "SIO!! or Andalyn... but SIO" I guess im just wifey material :)

Oh, another year!

Yup, Im 24 now.

Depressing i know. So there is no better way to celebrate my birthday than going to Vegas!

We left L.A. on Friday May 28th, early in the morning. and i mean.. i walked out of work and went straight to vegas. It was horrible. I was dead tired! I couldnt sleep on the car ride (mostly because my friend is a crazy driver and i was all over the back seat). Thanks to benadryl i finally passed out for a few hours.

As soon as we arrived we headed straight to our amazing room. We stayed at the "TRUMP." and gorgeous it was!!! 2 bedroom suit, 3 bathrooms, 2 kitchens. It was a dream! The moment we got there we headed to "tao beach." BUT not before a lil drama occured. As we were heading to tao i noticed that my ID was missing.. AAAHHH!!!!! And everyone knows that "NO ID, MIGHT AS WELL GO HOME!" I freaked out. My entire weekend was over at that moment. I was ready to book a flight and go home. Jen & I went mad crazy in the hotel looking for it. On our way downstairs we found 2 maids working. We asked them if they had found an ID - they denied. We continued... after about 30 min of non stop search we gave up and were headed back to the room then we see my guardian angel! One of the maids was holding up my ID when we walked out of the elevator. I WENT CRAZY! a huge relief.

We headed to tao beach, where our friends were already at. We had sushi for dinner. and went to XS club that night. Well Kerriann and Chantelle werent feeling so well at XS so we left early and were in bed by 1am. BUT being a nurse and all i had to take care of my girls. I had an IV kit with me just incase anyone got sick from drinking so much. Kerri was the lucky gal that got IV'ed and got fluids. RN to the rescue!

Day 2

We went to the Wynn to lay out at the pool. We met the guys there. Did i forget to mention that my ex was in vegas too. Well he was. Akward? Yeah, just a tad. But we handled being around each other very well. Kwasi (my ex) was there with a bunch of lawyer (so i made lots of lovely look ups for mal-practice... just in case i need it). It was one of the guys birthday on May 30th too so we were having a duo-bdays celebration.

That night we got all dressed up and tried to go to a club. Well it was literally IMPOSSIBLE!!! It was crowded! and it was absolutely a complete headache. We tried to get into a club.. until we saw that it was $20 for girls, and $200 for guys. WHAT?! What guy would pay 200 to get in a club?! So we hung around in the guys room.

Sunday, BIRTHDAY MORNING!

I woke up to the most amazing birthday morning... A video of my niece and nephew singing me happy birthday. It just drew me to tears. All the girls were in the room with me when i opened it and they all started singing to me. I could not stop crying. At that moment i was ready to ditch vegas and go see my family. It was really hard not being with my loved ones on my birthday, but chantelle and jen tried to make me happy. They went out and bought me the sweetest presents to remember the trip. I love it.

We headed to Tao beach once again...

We met a guy that was completely in love with chantelle. Anything she wanted she got. It was crazy how much he spent on us. When i got a glimpse of the bill at tao.. $500 buckos. OUCH! Now, the scary thing was that he lives 5 min away from me. We had mexican food for dinner and got ready for a night out at tao club. The club was AMAZING. So much fun! I even met my future vegas husband... sorry sister your future brother in law is a bouncer at tao. Greg (thats his name) hit it off and exchanged numbers :) The girls and i all left tao and hit the strip and just walked around.. a fantastic night!

Monday was another story. The drive to vegas is normally 4hrs. SInce it was a holiday weekend it took us 9hrs.. HORRIBLE TRAFFIC!!!!! Never again.
