I've been busy for the last week and half with no time to blog much less read other blogs. I'm looking at my Goggle Reader and I have over 200 unread posts. Yikes!
Well I'm finally on vacation but in a few hours, I'll be heading down to San Diego for Comic-Con. I've always wanted to go when the passes went on sale back in September, I decided to bite the bullet and bought a 4-day pass with the preview night.
So for the next five days it will be filled with everything that is awesome and good in the nerd/geek realm. I already have my panel schedule worked out and hopefully there won't be any snags and I'll get to go to all of them. I'll be one of the many "Comic-Con Virgins" there this week, so I hope I don't get too overwhelmed. Luckily there's a little survival guide via the LA Times, that will help me make this a successful first visit. :D

She's Gone to the Movies Part 2
Here are some more summer movies on my list.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
The Kids Are All Right
The Other Guys
The Switch
Salt
Despicable Me
and finally....
Eclipse
(yeah I said it. :P)
If there are any other summer movies I haven't listed that you recommend, let me know.
In other news, I'm slowly getting my Etsy store up and running. I just have to take a few more pictures and get measurements for the items I'm going to put in the shop. Plus I still don't have a name for my store. I was thinking of using my Twitter user name, but I'm not sure yet. I would love to here your ideas.
Also, my San Diego Comic-Con plans are officially underway and I have finally booked a hotel room. I thought I wasn't going to find one since it's a month away. But not only did I find a room, but I also found out that they'll be a free shuttle service to and from the convention center. Yay for not having to pay for parking and much less navigating my way through Downtown San Diego.
It's also my first Comic-con, so I can't wait to see the other convention-goers in their costumes and maybe some celebrity sightings. :P I was thinking of dressing up as character, but I couldn't decided who it should be. I do have a Wonder Woman and Dr. Horrible shirt, so I'll be bringing those with me.
Has anyone ever been to Comic-Con or any other conventions like this and what your experience like?

It's Been a Long Time...
I'll admit it. I'm horrible at keeping up with posts. So I'll try to keep a regular schedule with my posts. For now here's what I've been up to...
- After years of yearning, I finally had the opportunity to visit NYC. I went in October with my younger brother to visit my younger sister and her boyfriend. I have to say I love the city. It's such a wonderful place to visit and explore. I went to the MOMA, the New Museum, the NY Public Library, the Whitney Museum of Art, Top of the Rock/Rockefeller Center, Central Park, and Staten Island Ferry to view the skyline at night. I also did some shopping but there's still a lot of things I want to see there. So another visit is in store in the new year.
- What could possibly trump my visit to NYC is my new job. After years being a lowly sales associate, I was finally offered a manager position in September. To be honest, I didn't think I would get it because I knew that there were others wanting the position. But I did and our store finally opened on Nov. 26. I'm still getting used to knowing that I am a manager and I have the authority to make decisions. But I'm excited to see where this new venture takes me.

What I've Been Up To
I am such a horrible blogger. It's been two months since I last posted and a lot has happened since then.
A week after my sister left for NYC, my mom left for three weeks to visit her family in the Philippines. She came back with tons of pre-packaged food, one of her suitcases was filled exclusively with it, beauty products and clothes.
She brought back for me this cute cream patent leather bag decorated with some studs on the outside, black sandals with mirrored straps and this hair product that is makes your hair look shiny.
I also finally bought digital camera. It's a Sony DSC-S750 and I love it. It's nice to have one whenever you want to take a spontaneous pictures, which I need to do, plus I don't have to wait a week or two to get film developed.I always have it in my purse now.It's kind weird, but you never know when you will need it.
On a sad note, a day after my mom left for the Philippines, my beloved Australian Shepard, Casey, died. I got home from work and found my brother standing on the porch with our dog covered by a towel. He told me died three hours before. I should have know something was wrong when I left for work that morning. Usually when I would call him, he would run up to me. But that morning, he was sitting on the driveway. When my dad got home, we buried him in the backyard. It was a somber day because we had him since he was a pup 12 years ago.
It was then when I realized how long we had him. He was my favorite dog out of the 5 we have. He would always play catch with you, listen to you, and was the only one that out cats liked. We think it's probably because he was old, but part of me thinks he died of sadness. Since my sister left a week before and my mom left the day before. He probably thought we were going to all leave and not come back. He was a great dog and after two months, I still miss him.
Not wanting to end on a sad note. I do have some exciting news. In October, my youngest brother and I are going to visit my sister in NYC. I have always wanted to go visit there and now I have my chance. The best part is I'm going to be there in the fall. So I'll get to experience the changing colors of the trees and I might to actually wear my coats that stay dormant in my closet since So. Cal doesn't experience fall, until like December.
I'm going to be there for 5 days, so does anyone have some good NYC suggestions? Well besides the touristy stuff to do, what are some underground/out of the ways places that I should see?
