唉呀  打中文實在太慢 ˋˋˋˋ

I was typically up around 8:30am, and Chia slept till 10am. I would got up and go for a quick walk & cafe. I enjoyed the little walk in the morning. The sun is not fully out so it's not too hot. Most guests are still sleeping to recover from previous night's parties; the place is really peaceful in the morning.
The pool wasn't yet packed with people yet. 

We stayed at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort. Pueblo Bonito is a chain luxury resort in Cabo, it has four main resorts here in Cabo:  Los Cabo and Rose are older/smaller resorts both located in downtown Cabo,  Sunset Beach and Pacifica are newer and 5 miles away from downtown located on hill side by Pacific Ocean.  
Hotel Lobby - The lobby is filled with soothing fragrant, it's quite relaxing. Later on, one of the resort staff told me that, every morning, they would spray vanilla and lavender fragrant around.  Wow, what a nice treat for the guest here.
Sunset Beach is on the hill side by the beach.  There are 7 pools in this resorts including one by the resorts' private beach. Because it's on the hill, so every room here has a ocean view!   Here is our room - junior suite with a balcony

This is my overdue vacation.  OL really needs a break from work, clear her mind, and recharge.  I wasn't looking for adventures type of vacations, or the type packed with many activities.  All I want to do is DO NOTHING - stay in the nice resort by the beach, enjoy good food, spa treatment, hang by the pool with my book and  cute cabana boys serve me cocktail with little umbrella on it. 
With a strong recommendation from my co-worker, I packed my bag and headed to Cabo San Lcuas for my 5 days vacation with my long time college pal. 
Before heading to Cabo, many friends and relatives were warning me......
"It's not safe for two single girls to travel in Mexico"
"Mexico is dirty, be careful with drinks there - you will get sick"

I just returned from my 5 days vacation last night - still sorting through photos and getting familiarized with my new blog....
Here is a preview of my vacation... more to come!!! "GREAT PLACE & WONDERFUL VACATION"

請幫我搬家吧

Today is Monday, another work week.., so let me kick off the work week for you with a visit to my office.
Here is my little crib. 
It's still quite empty.  I still try to live in a bit more.  HR lady next door has been asking me to fill up the room a bit so it doens't look like I can pack up and go anytime.
I do have the big indoor plant....  Oh. Wilson brought from the other office, so I kind of inherit it.  Oh, speaking of Wilson, he is the guy who works for me and who used to have this office.  They kind of kicked him out when they hired me.........Wilson is not his really name...it's my code name for him...becuase he reminds me of Mr. Wilson from Dennis the Menace...the  grumpy old man (Well...this will worth another blog to write...)
I don't really have a view from my office - my view is my boss's office.......  I can see the good view of LA through his office window - but it's more fun to watch VIP who walks in and out of his office, and eavesdrop on the conversation.......
Oh...I do have a flat screen TV with cable. i don't really turn it on that often.  Even if I do, It's on CNBC ....hey, need to look like I am into business and finanical market, right?
So which offices do you like it better???  The old one (left) at Wamu or the current one? (right)

 
Cafe Massimo located at the heart of Rodeo Drive.   It's a tiny little Italian bistro, but really cozy insdie and food were great. 
Freshly made bread - yummy.  still warm just came out of the oven.
We all ordered pasta dishes - so Hannah can eat....
Karin ordered seafood linguine.  Lots of clams and rock shrimps, and tomato based sauce was tastey. You can never go wrong ordering seafood linguine at Italian cafe.
Robert ordered some kind of pesto based pasta......I couldn't remember what he ordered...
I was debating between risotto or gnocchi, and decided to try this seasonal Gnocchi di Zucca dish.  This is Italian dumpling filled with butternut squash with mascarpone sauce.  It was really good, I like butternut squash during winter time.  The fresh butternut squash made this gnocchi a bit sweet but taste so fresh.The light mascarpone sauce added the smoothness to this dish. 
We went all out this time and were determined to have a completed meal.......We saved room for desserts.....and insisited each to have our own.....no sharing...
Karin had chocolate cream brulee.. very yummy - not too sweet.
Both Robert and I had bread pudding.  I've been dying to have some good bread pudding.  This just perfectly fulfilled my graving.  The presentation is so pretty.  The sweet cream vanilla sauce and carmel sauce were so good.  The bread weren't too soaky.  I really liked it.
Massimo is a cute little cafe, I highly recommend it if you ever visit Rodeo Drive.  The price was reasonability, of course I wouldn't know since my elder sister and bro-in-law paid for it .....so nice to be the little sister.

Nebres and I visited Rodeo Drive during new year holidays. Robert wanted to see if we can run into movie stars, Karin just wanted to get out of the house, and I wanted to go get my LV Passy .  it has been almost ten years since I visisted Rodeo Drive - Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel still looks the same-grand and full of that fantasy from the movie Pretty Woman.  I wonder how many people would actually visit Rodeo Drive in hope of finding that handsome wealth prince charming.
I really like the architecture of buildings and all the Christmas decorations - It was a bit cold on that day, so it just like walking in Paris during winter time.....
My favoirate stores.....
LV store was so crowded, and the service wasn't that great...sales people were a bit stuck up, and they also ran out of EPI Passy..can you beleive that!!
As we continued strolling down Rodeo Drive, all the sunddenly we heard the screaming and camera flash light coming from everywhere...people were chasing after the guy in front of us...  That person looked like some kind of rock stars with a long black leather jacket....I think I saw him on TV before.  Karin asked one screaming fan - "who is that?"  "He is Osbournes."  "Who is Osbournes?" Karin asked....that fan just gave Karin the ugly look and walked away as she can't beleive she didn't know who Osbournes is......
Osbournes is from MTV reality show years ago "The Osbournes Family" - at least that part I know...unlike Karin and Robert ,  Well, I guess Robert fufilled his goal of meeting some stars but the problem was he didn't know who they were.......
The Nebres happy family.
