Random thought for the weekend.



I'm usually a pretty easy going person but there is one thing I will not tolerate, gingers. Haha Just Joking. I can't stand people who are always negative. People need to realize because they are choosing to have a bad day, which it happens but you are ruining the day for the other people around you. So why choose to have a bad day? Laugh it off. Sweat the small things. You woke up to a new beautiful day of life. Why waste it in a bad mood. It's amazing how if you are nice to people more than 90% of the time, they will be nice back unless they are Mel Gibson of course. Walk down the street, smile at strangers because maybe your smile can change that persons day. There is a simple solution to negativity, It's called surrounding yourself with good people and that's what I do. Everyday.

Wishing you all a great weekend.

Happy thoughts...
Happy Friday!!!

Thankful Thursday.

This Thursday I am thankful for photoshop. There is something about when you place someone's face over another persons body that is hilarious or even better, Place someone's body into the picture. Here are some pictures that just crack me up!

Bre and I going on a bike ride. Fear the helmet.

Big, Meaty, Rob and me. Death row.

The O'connell Family and their Half German sister.



Tye, Me and My brother Chris. Oktoberfest. Chris is a
phenomenal accordion player.

I know what you're thinking and Yes, we make
a great couple. Sadly, this picture is fake.


Happy Thursday!!!

Give this kid an A

I thought this was pretty funny. Nice try kid.


"For every point you take off, this guy loses a limb!"

"I have a stick family! Give him what he wants!"

"He means business. Innocent stick people don't need to die!"

Excellent stick figure hostage negotiation! It's obvious that the stick figure with the axe means business, yet the teacher still marks it all wrong. I guess the teacher doesn't have any compassion for stick figures.

Go shorty, It's your birthday.

It's no secret that I LOVE birthdays. Not just my birthday, everyone on the planet. My favorite birthdays to celebrate is 21 and 50. Both can be celebrated at the same magnitude but there is a difference in the way you feel the next day. I wish I could just turn 21 every year. So I kind of make a big deal out of my birthday. It's not cause I'm excited about getting old, it's actually cause I loved throwing themed parties! Here is a look back on my past couple of birthdays.

Age: 22 Years old.
Theme: Babies of the 80s

Who doesn't love big hair and all the hits from the 80's? There was drinks, glow sticks, numerous dance battles and some ridiculous outfits. What a great night.



Age: 23 Years old
Theme: Theme-less but still fun

There was no theme to this birthday. It was just dinner and then all the girls went out after. If I had to choose a theme for this birthday it would be "Drunkness" This night I learned a pretty good life lesson. ALWAYS eat a big dinner before you go out. I decided to have soup for dinner that night and lets just say it didn't end up pretty. Thank goodness I decided to go with an up-do that night.

Who knew that this face:

Would end up here:

Age:24
Theme: Bar golf.

Bar Golf maybe the best thing since miniature golfing. Basically you dress up in amazing golf outfits then go on a pub crawl. Each bar is a hole and you drink in teams. After a few holes things can get a little crazy! My favorite part is how everyone is so competitive in the beginning of the night and then towards the end of the night you forget that you have knee high argyle socks on or in my friend Cassie's case you end up at a local chevron to warm up a hot pocket.
FORE!!!!!


Guess which team won..... muhahaha

Age: 25 Years old.
Theme: Jersey Shore.

A night of fist pumping. Till this day this was one of the greatest parties I have ever thrown. Everyone including myself stayed in character the whole night! We had some snooki punch, pickles and Vinny's mom's raviolis. It took me 4 spray tan, hair extensions and large fake eyelashes to prep for this party. I could tell you a ton of stories but i think the pictures speak for themselves.






Super fun right?

Now to announce my next birthday theme. Everyone please welcome......

The real housewives of SiliCONE Valley Pub crawl!!!!

Get excited Cougars. Meeeeoooow!

Happy Monday!

Thankful Thursday.


Today I am thankful for my friends at Starbucks. They don't really know that they are my friends or in fact how close we are. I go to the same Starbucks every morning. I've gone from "may I have your name?" to "remind me of your name again" to "Tiffany right?" to not even saying anything and writing the name TIFF on the cup. I'm not going to lie I roll pretty big at that Starbucks now a days. I told my best friend Jen that she needs to come visit me JUST to see how big of a baller I am at Starbucks. Now when I walk in they say "Hey tiff" and start making my grande coffee and sometimes when i walk in with someone they ask me before i get in line "hey tiff same thing? and for your friend" I'm sorry but if that's not great service then I don't know what is! The other day I was exhausted and threw them for a loop and ordered a Venti! Well he made my grande of course and then made the Venti and said "I already made this one when you walked through the door, go ahead and take both. Sorry about that....tiff" A year ago I didn't even drink coffee and now I'm on a nickname basis with a Starbucks??? This is why today I am and thankful for my Starbucks.

Happy Thursday!!!

A Great Investment.

A few years ago right before mothers day my brother Chris and I decided to take a different way home and it definitely paid off. We drove by a garage sale and saw this huge blue nugget......
Jackpot.

We paid $60. for a life size movie quality Sulley from Monsters Inc. I knew my mom would hate it and I knew we had to have it. I wish there was cameras filming us trying to get Sulley into Chris's Jeep. Good news was we only had to go one block and the guy told us the head comes off and that's probably the only way we can get him into the car. Needless to say there I was sitting in the passenger seat with a huge Sulley head on my lap. Our original plan was to put him in my moms closet to surprise her but once we actually tried to carry it we realized the only place we can put this huge thing is the backyard. So we set him up in his new home and waited for my mom to come home and see her gift! I couldn't believe I actually spent $60 with no hesitation what so ever. I figured we could make our money back by charging the kids in the neighborhood $5 to take a picture with him. When my mom came home we were super excited to show her the new addition to our family. I told her she needed to close her eyes and come into the backyard. In her mind she probably thought we got her that backyard swing that she always wanted. "Ok mom open your eyes!!!"

"what the hell is that?!!??"


How could you not love this gift? Here is my friend Cassie and I hanging out with our favorite Monster.


Happy Tuesday!!!!

T.G.I.F old school style

Do you remember what you did every Friday night when you were younger? I do! T to the G to the I to the fricken F. What a great evening. Every week. I used to put on my jammers then run downstairs right before my favorite shows would start. Here are some of the shows that I loved.

Family Matters. Not only was the theme song so soulful this show was pretty amazing and the best part is my dad totally reminds me of a Mexican Carl Winslow! The grandmother Estelle was full of one liners. The annoying Steven Urkel would come over to bother Laura. The only thing that was messed up in my mind is Steve invents a transformation chamber which changed him into STEPHAN UR-KEL. A.K.A He lost his glasses. lost the suspenders and combed his hair and talked in a deeper voice. Well this made Laura fall in love with him. What a shallow beeeetch.

Step by step. Day by day. This show was pretty awesome. The best part was the theme song and the opening credits of them hanging out at the theme park. Did anyone else think that it was weird that their low life cousin Cody lived in a van on the side of their house? Also Carol Foster may or may not have inspired me to become a hairdresser but unlike her i refuse to open a salon in my garage and have my hot stepson JT be the shampoo boy.

Hanging with Mr. Cooper. Now this show was on at the 9:30 time slot so a lot of the time i would not be able to stay awake for it but on those rare occasions that i went crazy i would tune in to see Raven Symone grow into the very annoying actress that she is today.


Full house. Who didn't love this show? So much action was going on and when I say action i mean hugging every time you left a room. Stephanie Tanner let Kimmy Gibbler pierce her ears then they got infected, Dj when on a crash diet for a day and fainted at the gym and then poor little Michelle fell off her horse and got amnesia! Lets not forget the hottest band ever Jesse and the rippers.


Perfect strangers. Were they gay? or just really close roommates? Well anyways this show was pretty hysterical even though i couldn't understand a word Balki was saying!



Well T.G.I.F

Happy Friday!!!

Thankful Thursday.




This Thursday I am thankful for my dog Charlie. Most people think of Charlie as borderline cute but I swear he's got a great personality. Once a kid came over to our house and said "I don't like the ugly one" (referring to charlie) Well kid, The ugly one doesn't like you either. Actually Charlie doesn't like most things, including other dogs named Kobe. There are two Kobes and whenever they step in the same room sweet little Charlie goes crazy like the girls on Rock of Love. Things Charlie does enjoy are going on camping trips, digging in the sand and watching tv. It's a little creepy how he watches tv but he will watch any show with dogs in it. Sometimes he will run downstairs when he hears the Advantix commercial. The one where that cute puppy is singing "There ain't no bugs on me" Ironically right now Charlie is going through a tough time cause he has really bad flees! Maybe I should get him some Advantix? Well That's what I'm thankful for this Thursday. Charlie and his road to recovery. I just want to clarify I'm not some creepy dog person. I'm really not. I actually don't trust people who are obsessed with their animals. Them and redheads.

Can you find charlie in this pic?

HAPPY THURSDAY!!!!

Coming Clean about your DARK past.




Today I decided to go to the dermatologist to get some sketchy moles checked. I've been meaning to get them checked for the past few months but i didn't want to do anything that had the potential to kill my holiday buzz. So everyone knows that for the most part it is not smart to lie to your doctor, unless they are asking you "how many alcohol beverages do you drink per week....per month?" I'm sorry, what? Do people actually tell you the truth? So anyways I go see Dr. Spot and the first thing she asks me is "do you know every mole that you've had since birth?" "With all do respect, I can't even remember what i had for dinner last night." It was not off to a good start. Then the question came "Do you wear sunscreen everyday?" "Yes, now i do but I used to do the exact opposite." "the exact opposite?" "Yes. tanning. I'm a recovering tanoholic." She looked at me as if i told her i was a recovering meth addict. Now was the moment that I had to come clean about my "dark past" and explain that I no longer tanned in tanning beds even though i miss every minute of it. I even said "Now i get spray tans, isn't that good!?!?" then comes the judging. "what's wrong with having lighter skin?" Ummmmmmm I'll tell you what's wrong, I don't plan on being in the 4th installment of twilight so therefore i want to be tan. So can I leave now cause I really need to go book a spray tan appointment.

Make sure to put on that SPF
Happy Wednesday!!!

Boob tube.

I have a Love/Hate relationship with the shows that are on the telly now a days. It just blows my mind that people could win a million dollars for eating a scorpion or getting smacked in the face a bunch of times while going through an obstacle course. Don't get me wrong, it's hilarious but sometimes too much. I've already talked about my commitment issues or some say lack of follow through but television shows are the hardest for me to follow. It used to never be this bad.

In elementary school I got out at 2 o'clock. Saved by the bell started at 2:05. You can imagine how stressed i was on a daily basis. Good news was i lived right around the corner. As soon as that bell rang i would run home like i was training to be a member of the Kenyan running team. I loved Saved by the Bell. I wanted be Kelly Kapowski, date Zack Morris, hit the gym with A.C, Shop with Lisa Turtle and be lab partners with Screech Powers. No Character on that show taught me more than Jessie Spano did. She was a straight A student, student body president and dating the high school jock. She had it all....including an addiction to caffeine pills. Yup you remember that episode. I cried when Jesse was so overcaffeinated that she finally came to her breaking point. "I'm so excited.....I'm so so scared"


During High School it was all about Friends. What a great show. I have every episode on dvd and sometimes will run a super marathon over a weekend. Last Thanksgiving I ran a mini marathon of all the Thanksgiving episodes. Who could forget the "Geller Cup"? I find myself quoting friends on a day to day basis. It's pretty bad when all you have to say around my brother Chris and i is "5........6........7.........8" and we break out in THE ROUTINE.


Now for the shows on TV now. I had a hard time finding a show that I am obsessed with. I was looking for a new saved by the bell or Friends. I tried getting into Grey's anatomy but Meredith is Super annoying. The gun shooter episode was pretty good but I don't think that show will be on much longer. Sorry about it. Then I tried to get into the Oh so popular Glee. I watched it a handful of times but to be honest it's just a bunch of kids singing, dancing and having sex with each other all while a guy in a wheelchair watches. I do have to admit Sue Sylvester is pretty hysterical. Then there is Jersey Shore and I did have a birthday party dedicated to it but it is getting pretty old. They should call it "Same old story, different night" or what I recently read on a bathroom stall wall "Another day Another panty stain" Now to reveal the new show that I'm obsessed with, the show I run home to watch every Wednesday night.............
Great show, right? I'm still laughing over the Flash Mob scene.

HAPPY MONDAY!!!!

Knowledge is power!


Yesterday I decided I needed to step outside of my box and step into a museum. I have lived in San Jose my whole life and not once did any tourist stuff. Well, there was my elementary school field trips but I don't think I'm allowed at the Children's museum anymore. It blows my mind that people travel to San Jose to see the Winchester Mystery house. I'm sorry if you do because it's a stage five let down.

So my friend Jess and I decided to have a fun adventure day at The Academy of Science in SF! We got there around 2 and thought we can power through everything in 1 hour, boy were we wrong. I was immediately overwhelmed. Turtles, Sharks and the infamous Steve Irwin murder, the stingray. There was one particular animal that I was appalled by, the albino alligator or as my dad texted me later "send me a pic of alli" It was so white, so thin and so still that I thought it was Kristen Stewart at first until he moved. Boy was he ugly. I started feeling bad for Claude the albino alligator. It's not his fault he has this issue. Maybe he would be happier with a spray tan? Everyone knows you feel better with a tan. Right?

Earlier that morning when i informed my dad on my day of fun he said
"oh let me know how Pierre the penguin is doing" What the heck. Did my dad befriend some penguin and did not inform his family because I'm sorry, that is something you tell your kids! Turns out Pierre is the museums famous penguin. When Pierre was 24 and had some molting problems. He was the alpha male of his colony and because of his bald spots he was shunned by his fellow penguin friends. Ugh, Penguins can be huge dicks sometimes. It wasn't until some lady designed a little wetsuit for Pierre so he wouldn't be too cold to get in the water. Well in 7 weeks he was on his way to recovery and thanks to the wetsuit Pierre got his feathers AND his groove back! Pierre is now 27 years old, found a female lover and get this...He is going to be a father!!! I was pretty excited to call my dad and tell him the big news which his response was "oh, good for him"


The day was going pretty good until the end. The Planetarium. When I went inside the theater I could not get over how cool it was. I was so excited to see video and couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to watch a Twilight trilogy marathon in that theater. Everything was good until they started the show. I felt as if i was moving full speed through the trees and over the ocean. I had to close my eyes a few times to prevent me from throwing up my lunch. To make matters worse it was a video on how the earth was formed. Starting at the very beginning. Space gives me anxiety. It's too much to handle. Let me give you a little bit of history, someone once explained black holes to me and i got a migraine and had to run to the bathroom. As if all the space knowledge wasn't enough they totally skipped over the best part, The dinosaurs.

All in all the trip was amazing and I will be going back. Apparently some Thursdays they have a 21 and over party from 6-10. Drinks, music and learning. I was so excited to hear about this cause I would LOVE to party with Pierre and alli (a.k.a Claude) Hollaaaaa!!!!

We ended the night off with Sushi at Mas Saki because let's be honest looking at all those fish all day sure makes you hungry!

Happy Friday!

This is just embarrassing.


I don't even know what to say besides this is the worst blog I have ever seen.

Hello year 2011!

I wish I had some sort of excuse like my Internet was out for the past year or I lost both my arms in an unfortunate wii sport accident but the truth is I have commitment issues. You can pretty much guarantee that I won't finish anything besides a cocktail. If i had a diary it would go something like this "Dear Diary, I'm so excited to become best friends. I'm going to write in you everyday. Well, see you tomorrow" Followed by nothing but blank pages. You can ask anyone in my family that my whole life i would always go through these weird phases. There was one summer that I sat on my porch and painted really intense pictures. Mostly landscapes. That lasted about a week or at least until my mom couldn't fit anymore on her fridge. Then the next week i grabbed a keyboard and self taught myself the theme song to Halloween, which sucks because this only comes in handy around October 31st. See I was always trying to teach myself what i like to call party tricks. There was that time I spent months trying to beat box like JT. That must have been annoying. It must have been around the time that I asked Santa for, and i kid you not "top of the line glow sticks" I'm not even sure what that is, why i asked for them or what i planned on doing with them besides beat boxing at a rave while listening to a techno version of the Halloween theme song.

So This year I did not set resolutions. I set GOALS and One of my goals is to blog at least 3 times a week because this can be the diary I never had. Diary 2.0!!!!! I'm not even sure if anyone will read these or even care. If you don't care then perfect, That makes two of us.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
