// March 23rd, 2010 // 8 Comments » // Food, Mai News, Vietnam

Don’t get me wrong. I love being back and appreciate Los Angeles abundant classics like fro-yo and cupcakes. But no matter what–nothing will ever beat.. the Cotton Candy Taco.

(Don’t judge me at 1:55…it’s a lot harder than it looks people!)

“Ride or Die B*tch. What.” The Xclusive Mom Moment in Vietnam

// March 16th, 2010 // 14 Comments » // Mai News, Mai one and only Mom- Oliiivia, Vietnam

Growing up in the bay area, it was always a must to be a “ride or die bitch.” Urban dictionary defines this as
1. someone who is down for you no matter what.

My mom one upped that phrase in Vietnam on Feb 27, 2010.

The whole idea was mine to start. I wanted to ride it. I said I would do it. I was the one who carried the helmet, twittered to the world it was goin down, and brought the friends and family to watch.
Then I saw it in real life-and yes. I backed down.
I’ll just stick to shaking what my mama gave me.

Back from the Mutherland– I MISSED YOU GUYS!!

I can’t believe it. I’m back in LA, flew thru Customs (with 6 illegal electric mosquito swatters NOT confiscated), and my fingers twittering with excitement to tell you all about the last 2 weeks. With the sketchy internet..and ok, the fact that I leap outta bed in the AM to head out into the humid air and enjoy the city till wee hours into the night, there was never enough time to blog! So bear with me as I relive my favorite moments to catch you all up- starting with my Heartbeat Vietnam visits.
