Tres Hermanas

My girlfriend Nha and I often meet up to catch up with each other and it's usually over coffee, but on this particular day, we both came hungry. So I grab my coffee to go, and walked over to my favorite Mexican restaurant, Tres Hermanas.

Quinn Ung Photography

When I'm in Sacramento, I always go on a coffee date with my talented photographer girlfriend Quinn Ung. We would catch up on gossip, get each other updated on our lives, and if time permits, do an on spot photo shoot. I usually work best on spot.

Journey to the Dumpling

There's buzz going around Sacramento that a new dumpling restaurant is better than the beloved Din Tai Fung dumplings. I love dumplings in general, but hearing this amped me to go try out the place. Destination: Journey to the Dumpling. I'm pretty sure the name of the restaurant was inspired by Stephen Chow's movie Journey to the West. It's about a Monkey King. I don't have time to explain it, so google it. Ok!?

Impromptu Photoshoot with Tra

A couple days ago, I had an impromptu photoshoot with the ever so spunky Tra with the help of her  hubby Henry. ^_^ Haha. They had bought a sweet light prop and wanted to test it out. It was really last minute, and I'm usually on the fly kinda gal. No reservations. On spot. More adventurous and I'm always down for adventure. I also got to meet up with Liz, another photographer who is there to witness the stupid crap I do behind the scene, like speak English in an heavy Vietnamese accent, or just plain speaking Vietnamese in an obnoxious tone. Haha.

Project Poke

Goodbye U Jelly. Hello Project Poke! (U Jelly, you will be missed) Yes siree! Project Poke is the newest craze in town and it's definitely worth a try. I came out for their media preview event to sample their menu and was not disappointed.

Viktor's Gatsby Birthday Party

My friend Viktor hosted a Gatsby themed party for his 30th birthday! It was nice to see all my friends dressed up. The men in their finest suits and the women in their gorgeous dresses. It was also very intimate, which I liked. It gave me a chance to say hi to everyone there (or at least the ones that was still there when I arrived) I came 2 hours late, but I still had a blast!

LOVE TO GO

We finished dinner, and realized our friend Phuong Mai was still waiting for her bf to come back into town. While we waited, I introduced her to one of my favorite cafe places, Love to Go. Their specialty? 2D and 3D latte art!

Duck House

My friend Phuong Mai treated us out to a really nice dinner that left me wanting more. DUCK HOUSE! It was perfect because I've been craving authentic Chinese for for a while. And the ultimate reason why I was late to my friend's birthday dinner. :D

50 Questions

Ahh. It's been a while since I did any surveys/questions about myself. I think it's good to do them so I can learn more about myself. Plus, It's also to look back on these when I like to take a walk down memory lane. Lets start shall we. 

I Got Baptized! (Excerpt Testimonial)

I got baptized! It's surreal. Prior to the baptism, I had to write a short testimonial. It was probably the hardest thing to write because it made me felt vulnerable. Nonetheless, I did it. And the day of my baptism could've have been more wonderful. Thank you friends and family for making this day super special.

Temple Coffee Roasters

Did you know Sacramento is listed as one of the Top 10 US coffee cities in the country? Believe it or not, Sacramento is home to a lot of great coffee shops in California. (#SacramentoProud) 

One that I frequently visit is Temple Coffee. 

GD BRO Burger

The struggle is real. Trying to keep your waist line in check, but your stomach, eyes, and mouth tells you to eat everything in sight!

La Jolla Seal Cove

On my recent trip to San Diego, I got up close and personal with a sea lion.
