sunday summarie v17


a quick list of 5 things to summarize this weeks
inspirations/ findings &
doings:


1. mother's day
happy mother's day to mother earth and all the mothers on it!
here's a photo of my mum (and my little cousin)
hamming it up this morning:

aren't they great?!

we continued to celebrate mother's day by taking mum out to tiny thai restaurant in long beach, ca.

at the end of our delicious meal, we found this fortune:

sweet, huh? :)
...keeping to the lovely theme of the day, we skipped over to miss priss cupcakes
where they had special mother's day cupcakes:


Mmm!
my mom liked it/enjoyed the area so much that she's already asking to come back!

2. roxanna mostatabi's art show: intrinsic
i've been meaning to check out the fullerton art walk for some time now,
so when a friend of mine invited me to an art opening at the tranquil tea lounge,
i happily obliged.
who knew i was in for such a treat?!

my friend, bless her heart, never gave me any prior details about the art show,
so i wasn't sure what to expect....


the artist was a family friend of hers,
who, along with her mother and sister,
i have seen at various family gatherings: weddings, baby showers, birthdays
what a trip!
such talent! and i didn't even know.
i was so impressed with roxanna and her artwork,
that i bought several pieces.
i don't really have extra money to be spending,
but roxanna's work is laced with passion and fervor and life.

her work spans various art genres and media,
all of which are absolutely b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l.


there is this deeply nourishing quality to her pieces,
organic, but also fierce!

here's the talented roxanna infront of her stunning art:



3. malibu
i've lived in so. cal all my life, but i've never been to malibu.
on tuesday, i finally got to go! :)

the fog rolled in, but still! it was a breathtaking sight
(too bad i forgot my camera, and had to use the cameraphone)



we woke up early early in the morning to get there...
such a magical experience!
thanks lu :)
4. sunday school
did another school year go by already?
jeez! i'm gonna miss the kiddos!

chelsea and one of my student's, noelani, are friends and demanded they get a photo together
(even before playing on the playground):

i hope that one day i'll be a teacher to her little brother... he's sooo cute!

5. coconut!!!
fresh coconut!
i went NUTS!
sososo good!
(i'm an island girl, you know?)
