Mark Laita @ Fahey/Klein Gallery

Mark Laita's Colored Songbirs 4' x 4'
I don't usually go to see a Photo Gallery that often, but I'm so glad that I went to see this one. My friend worked with him on Snapples advertisement campaign, so he asked if I wanted to go check out the show. Apparently, other than taking all these super cool animals pictures, he's also very skillful at food photography.

We went to the opening, and this show's theme is "Amaranthine, Sea, and Serpentine". The colors, patterns, and shapes of the animals are sooo wonderful. I was very inspired. I think people that are able to do photography well is very amazing. Everyone can take pictures, but only a few are able to capture the moment so perfectly. We also got to say hi to Mark Laita. He laughed and said that he saw my friend 3 times already this week (since they just worked together on an ad campaign). Afterwards, my friend and I went to eat curry at Curry House. :d

SDCC 2011

Sunny kissing Spiderman
SDCC 2011 is finally over. We are so tired, but it's the good kind of tired. It's such a wonderful feeling to be able to connect with people that really like what we do. I think we have the best customers in the world! There was a customer that came by to get a penguin who didn't get one last year. She said that she regretted not getting the penguin for the whole year! Awww <3. A few customers last year also came back for more Picolettes Zipper pulls. A lot of people would buy one and come back later for more. That has to mean that they like our Picolettes right? *beams* I love seeing the collection that people have. There was a very cute girl that kept coming back to hug the yeti. When her mom dragged her away, she'd run back and give our baby yeti another kiss before she ran off again. I took a picture of her hugging the yeti (center pic). Her smile made our day. We also got a surprised gift art from Mister Raroo who stopped by our booth. He drew Sunny and me as little sharks! I'm going to frame it because it's so adorable.


I forgot my camera this year. James came on Saturday and Sunday, so he was able to take some pictures. They were promoting "Adventure Time" quite a bit. The Rainicorn parade on the street was lovely with twinkling green lights. There was also a Team Coco gallery that showed off the Flaming C Conan artworks. Viewers also got to take a picture with either a cape or a kitchen mitten next to Conan both shooting laser eyebeams. It's really awesome. Sunny took one. You also get to keep either the cape or the glove as a souvenir.


Comic cons are always full of interesting cosplayers. Some are amazingly skillful, some are just funny, some sparkly, and some makes you go "aww <3".
There are robots everywhere.

We saw Power Rangers. Here is a picture of our booth. Lastly, here is a bonus of Sunny and the Spartans from 2010 :)

Disneyland Trip

Watermelon Cotton Candy!

I went to Disneyland! I haven't been there in a while. This time, it's a big group of 9 people! We had so much fun. I usually don't go to Disneyland in the middle of the summer, so I forgot how hot it can be. I totally got sun burnt. My cheeks and nose were super red.


This time I finally tried the famous corn dog on main street. I concur that it is one of the best corn dog out there. I think it's the best I've ever had. I also tried the other famous Monte Cristo sandwich. Well, we shared that because it's very rich and probably super bad for your heart lol. It's a deep fried turkey&ham&cheese sandwich. The bread/batter is slightly sweet and the texture is like doughnut. You eat it dipped in lightly sweetened jam. It's VERY good. My favorite is still the fried chicken at the Plaza Inn though. It's so good! I have to eat this every time I go to Disneyland *drools*.


We saw Alice and the Mad Hatter at the entrance. While we were eating, Mary Poppins walked by. She was very pretty. The popular Peter Pan also walked by. Lihn's cousin was super excited to see him and got some pictures. She even saved it as her phone wallpaper which I thought was super cute. I think he made her day. It's just nice to see everyone having such a great time.


They are doing a lot of construction at Disney California adventure. I guess there will be a lot of newer attractions there. My lovely uncle got us a VIP pass for the "World of Color" show, so we got to see it from a very good spot. I haven't seen that show before. It was so beautiful. I actually teared up lol. The colors and just the overwhelming gigantic display... wow. Seriously though, it puts the Bellagio water show in Las Vegas to shame. Those disney animations are so amazing. I love Disney! *fangirl mode*



I was sick for the next two days most likely from the intense heat and eating all the deep fried food without washing my hands first. I had a blast at Disneyland though. It was totally worth it :D

Nice Old Ladies

Met two nice old ladies at the bookstore today. They were so cute, friendly, and as they said "young at heart" hehe. :)

Ren Faire 2011 So Cal

I love this mask!

I haven't been to a Renaissance Faire in over 10 years! It was lovely. You feel like you're in another world. It's so cool that most people dressed up. Maybe next year I'll dress up too! hehe. Too bad, it was super dusty and it was windy so I couldn't breathe very well. Other than that, it was amazing. The food were actually pretty yummy too. I had a giant turkey leg, a clam chowder soup, and fresh potato chips. Well, I shared with James lol. He came to visit his parents for the weekend and wanted to go to Ren Faire. He ended up being the photographer of the day :D.

I bought a cute little hat (pic above). I also like that mask now that I look at it, but those masks are very expensive and I probably won't really get to wear it much, so I didn't buy it. There were so many things to see. People are super friendly and nice. Jen said that the one in So Cal is a lot more crazy than the Ren Faire up north. haha. Yup, LA people are crazyyyy~
