RCubed

Posts have been few because I've started a new job and working 9-5 makes me not want to do much once I get home. I still have yet to finish last month's and this month's Project Life pages (figures), and I have a few beauty reviews that I'll eventually get up here if the weekend allows. So to whoever actually reads this blog, thanks and hope you're well.

I've been to Vegas in January for the past few years, this one in particular marking my 6th, to attend the International Consumer Electronics Show (aka CES). Attendees to the show come from all over the US and worldwide to see the newest innovations in technology. I visited a few booths that I normally look out for, plus some new ones.   Sony is one booth that I visit every year. I always like trying out their noise cancelling headphones (although I have yet to invest in a pair). One of the current prototypes allows the wearer to press down on one side, pausing music they're currently listening to in order to engage in conversation or listen to whatever inside noise is occurring. When the pressed side is released, the music and noise cancelling resumes. Polaroid is my 2nd favorite booth. In addition to CES celebrating its 50th year running, Polaroid hit its own milestone with their 80th anniversary. Look out for their Polaroid Pop camera, which will m...

I had to improvise a bit with November's pages since I didn't have to many photos to document. Put my We R Memory Keepers alpha punch to good use for the last one. November Highlights: Generation Beauty in SF Baby shower gift fits! Disney Super Heroes 10K/SoCal trip Movies - Dr. Strange and Moana RCubed eats - Spruce Cafe & Patisserie, International Smoke at Michael Mina Test Kitchen, Honey & Butter, Low-Key Poke Joint, Pop Pie Co. The last month of the year only brought 1 full page, but the month was packed with events.  December Highlights: Trip.com visit to Half Moon Bay Distillery Tea Under the Tree at Saint Francis Drake Hotel Trip.com Launch & Holiday Party Visiting Parkway Estates' Christmas lights South Bay friends holiday gathering and gift exchange NYE shenanigans RCubed Eats - It's Italia, Binka Bites

A bit over a month since my last post and it's already a brand new year. Hopefully I'll be able to get in more blog time in with this account. The past few months put a damper on my mood to write out anything. That aside, I'm looking forward to what 2017 will bring. Spent a short yet fun weekend in SD for NYE and will soon be off again to Vegas for CES. I have yet to start packing (D'oh!). Will be working on my December Project Life pages tomorrow, so those should be up soon along with my November ones. Anyway, bring it on, New Year. I'll try to make the best out of it.

December will be upon us soon, so here are a few things that I'd like to get myself for the holidays. 1. 3DS Super Mario Edition - Well, that's what I initially wanted since the updated versions have amiibo support. But I lost interest when I found out that the system didn't come with a charger. Seriously? That sucks balls for a first time 3DS buyer since they would have to purchase it separately. Luckily, I have an awesome friend that will send me their extra NFC reader and save me some funds on the investment. 2. Special Edition Battle-Worn BB-8 with Force Band - I've been wanting this droid since I saw the demo of the Force Band at CES earlier this year. Shoot, if I can't have a dog in my house, then this is the next best thing to having a pet.  3. Skagen watch - Another thing on my list of items I've had my eye on forever. It's the mesh band that attracted me to it in the first place. I don't wear a watch that often, but this may fin...

I've had these pages done for a while, but kept going back to them to make a few tweaks. That's what happens when you've run out of page protectors for the next month (D'oh!). Highlights: Watching Sia in concert with the bestie Catch up session at Ocean Beach Alton Brown's cookbook signing in Menlo Park Pumpkin Beer Fest with Gogobot in San Jose Having fun with costumes (makeshift Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII and Rey from Star Wars: The Force Awakens) RCubed eats - Ichi Ramen, Milk Cow, Shuei-Do Manju Shop (Japanese mochi), Jimbo's (Bubbies mochi ice cream)

These pages have been finished as of last month. I've just been to tired/lazy to post them. =P Anyway, here they are. Highlights: Cruise to Alaska & Victoria, BC RCubed Eats - Santo Market and Creamistry SF Japantown outing with Gogobot
