happy.

as much as rye and i bicker, i love him.
i'm so excited to grocery shop with him tonight. wtf is wrong with me?

anyways, my mom is going to china and korea tomorrow for three weeks.
so freaking long! i've been a busy bee learning all the 
tasks i will be handling while she's away. also,
she is going to miss mother's day for the first time since rye and i got married
so we decided to throw her a little mother's day brunch before she left.
i woke up at 5:30 and made a spread.

scrambled eggs with garlic and parsley
turkey sausage with mushrooms and sauteed kale
grilled asparagus with lemon, garlic and EVOO
freshly baked garlic onion bread
bacon and soy bacon.



i picked up some fresh flowers (ranunculus and kale for most of them)
and added them for some color on the table. we had the
brunch at work since we are so so busy and i really enjoyed 
the time we had with my mom on her last day here before her trip.
i also brought infused mint milk and 
homemade OJ (with a hint of pineapple juice)
i love the jars i used that i got from heath but you can get them
from crate and barrel too! they are cheap, chic and great for
sauces, juices that you can store at home. the brand
is WECK and they come in all different shapes and sizes.

i also made my own version of a coffee mint mojito 
(inspired by PHILZ!)


happy mothers day mom. you rool.

cold mondays.

for some reason, it's been chilly here in LA
and it has 1- given me a chance to wear all my winter/fall 
clothes for the last time before i bust out my 
cut offs and tanks. its kind of a happy/sad
feeling to see the gloomy san fransisco-esque
mornings when I wake up and make my coffee.
i've been religiously using the CHEMEX i bought us
and i've been trying to become
the coffee expertist i was born to be. which.. really isn't 
doing well at all. I feel like i should you-tube a pro
at making my fresh coffee or at least research some more...
i guess its the effort that counts. will update
more on my coffee roasting skillZ soon.. when i really am a pro :)


we stopped by philz this past wkend on our road trip.. so happy
to get some fresh beans from philz! and of course
we got our mint mojito coffees togo!!

so last week, i really bundled up for the weather. 



so many layers of knits. 
the shirt is by GAP, the cardigan sweater is 
a men's line called shades of grey and my scarf is rag and bone.
i'm wearing some tights with my black booties.
this is one of my favorite cardigans and works with so many
of my outfits. it has probably been my staple for the last
1-2 years... and can you believe its a men's line?
i got it at their sample sale they had in 2011 and 
got it with some other coats/jackets i got for rye. SCORE! 

happy monDAZE.

bloated. justkidding, just fat.

so for some reason, 
ever since i've gotten married- my LB has been
cuhrazy.  i guess its due to stress and other "Events"
but especially after coachella.. 
my fatass has gained a SOLID five pounds.

with that being said, i'm on a pretty strict
diet of lots of fruits and veggies.
today's lunch consists of a grapefruit, apple and
mango. all my favorites. I'm planning on
grilled fish with kale and spinach tonight. 
its surprisingly easy.. as i'm not hungry AT ALL 
which just shows how much i drank and ate
this weekend HAHA :) losing weight
pretty much means being healthy so 
its not too hard or stressful.... =)

i get super depressed though, when i look at my wardrobe.
i don't dare to put on my jeans right now as
it will most likely stress me out. 
with that being said, im dressing like MC hammer this week.

you likey? 


comme de garcon sneakers,
james perse low crotch sweats, 
current elliot leopard print chambray 
black nameless tanktop.

happy fatday!

omg.


i feel like music is my boyfriend
i kind of broke up with a while ago. i'm 
so back and jammin out to oldies like the faint and bayside.
so so happy to be home but coachella
was such an amazing experience. i'm
so glad i got to share it with my best frand and hubby.

will post more pics later for a recap of the weekend!

tewz.dei.

stressed.
depressed.
but dressed well.

(a little OP to make you...and me feel better. or ugly.
pick your poison)




indeed.
i stopped by brandymelville
for the first time. i know, i'm a little late but
i'm really intrigued by their marketing
and production. the price points are low
but the quality.. is obviously what you pay for. they mix
their house brand with hudson jeans and one teaspoon
which is interesting seeing that all their dresses
tops and sweaters are all under 30$ it seems. i guess
buying your shitty ass tank top for 8$ is best when you
buy your booty shorts for 130$ from one teaspoon? 
mixing your merchandise and customer is dangerous. 

they seem to be doing well though. the salesgirl
stopped me to compliment my scarf and she asked
where i got it- i said it was rag and bone. she said
"what's that? "

so i left.

i feel 100% dumber. more dumb. dumbest.

one of my fav couples are h+c
they're an adorable couple
that i met through my best friend jeni. hanna is 
jeni's little sister and carly is her wife.
i attended their AMAZING wedding last year
and its been so fun getting to know both of them
separately and together as a couple. i think any couple
would be blessed to have even half the love that they have in their marriage.
they are def one our favorites for double dates and dinner parties.




anyways, i'm writing about them bc
carly just emailed me and i happened to notice she has 
a blog as well.


what the fuck. mind you, they both go to ucla
and carly is seriously scary smart.
i don't even think this blog is in english. 
or is it?
wait? if this is about maps, why doesn't it have restaurants and shops
on them? or where is siri to tell you to go left or right?

she boggles my mind.

hehe 
happy almost friday!

the sand
the laughs 
the drinks
the water.

hawaii is nothing compared to the west indie islands, carib...
but its close.. and will do for my 
day dreaming..

Rustic Dime came out with some rip stop and cotton
printed camos. they're looking really great-

flying.

is it just me or is time
FUCKING FLYING? i feel like
everyday, just flies. it doesn't even matter
if i'm really busy at work or home.. 
it just FLIES.

anyways, our last session for our premarital classes was
yesterday and i am so happy! it was really
interesting to be in that class.. i feel like
it opened our eyes to everything and anything in our
relationship. Pastor john is (obviously) amazing
and really helps us all realize what it means
to be married in a modern time today. 
i am blessed to have a loving husband who is so
giving, and sincere. he is a good man and i am
so proud to say he is mine. 
he is genuine and not a selfish man. 
i love falling asleep next to him, always finding
each others hands as we dream together. 
he is the reason why i wake up
and want to be a better person, wife and daughter.

love you babyboo, my silly goosey. 
you're nekkoya!
:o)

love,
your wife. 

let's dream together,
forever.








almost tres years!!

almost tres months!!

fuhriDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY


toatz happeh that its friday.
YAY! 
i've had it with retarded fucking
SAN PEDRO clients who don't pay so i've decided
to vent here.. where no one will know.. kind of.
i mean, this industry is filled with these
shady ass korean companies who 
make labels with us and seem to be DGAF about 
paying. its been 15 days, 30 days, 45 days. 
how am i still asking for 2012 invoices? 
retarded. if you can't even fucking
pay for the PENNIES that labels cost,
how the FUCK are you going to manufacture garments?
pathetic.

anyways, yesterday-MUCH to my surprise
my husband (mr ryan pak *kisses* HEEHEE) requested
NON korean food. WHAT?! have i been cooking THAT
much korean food? yes, 5 days straight. thank you
very much. i'm very proud too
but i guess he's getting sick of it. 
with that, i decided to cook him the lobster ravioli 
i bought last week at trader joes. i've decided at the
beginning of the year, that i would try and stop 
shopping at large chain super markets to help the economy 
and local farmers markets grow. with that being said,
i'm usually either at the downtown farmers markets 
on sundays or/and trader joes from time to time.

i sauteed spinach, onions and garlic first and created
a little bed for the ravioli to sit on. inbetween 
the ravioli- i heated up a little 
light alfredo sauce for flavor and sauce. 
i'm really happy about the way this came out, it was sooo
good and i loved it because he didn't have red meat
which is what i aim to do for most his meals..(high cholesterol much?)
most/all ingredients are from 
local farmers markets and trader joes. 
it really was so yummy, i would def buy it again!




have a great weekend ya'll!!

organic nips.


i kind of love a good organic nipple.
it makes me realize
how conservative society is
and how beautiful a woman's body is.
as long as you don't have some kind of
pepperoni sausage nipple, 
it looks so beautiful.. natural. 
i love it. 

one of my favorite blogs, borntobewild
just posted a recent entry of so much
nipple that i can't stop looking at it.
lesbian much? crossing over to the other side?
maybe. 

enjoy! almost friday!!







please, no banana titties. 
her tits are so great. #titenvy.

terrible i have it with my "girl problems".
UGH.

anyways, i'm bearing the pain at work
dreaming of my coachella outfits.
denimblog came up with some cute ones!
 i'm impressed! 










































i can see myself wearing every single outfit! 
or my own version at least. the 
one that stands out is the ones with the nikes,
so modern and trendy. i love it. maybe with
