I have been feeling under the weather. I think staying awake for 23 hours straight is bad for my immune system. I came down with aches and chills, but no fever… then a horrible abdominal discomfort that I couldn’t shake for two days.
But this past Saturday, I shlepped myself together for an audition in the afternoon and a surprise party in the evening. At least everything was nearby in Pasadena. The party theme was Spongebob Squarepants – and if you know me, you know that I don’t care much for this character. His bob-like sponge with pants of squares? No, thanks. So I told my friend I would only attend if there was a person dressed as S.B.S. so I could punch him in the face.
JOKES!
Jokes, people.
Sadly, there was no one in full regalia, so I just snapped some photos.




The following two photos of me were taken by my friend, Diana. I like to grab her mobile phone and photograph a random person’s face to set as the wallpaper. She likes to take my camera and snap shots of me. Go figure.



This is Jade – he is a cool guy.
Although this photo may say otherwise.

Here is Paolo after being deveiled for his surprise!
I think my flash just about blinded him and everyone there. I’m glad I was behind the camera. =)

In April, I attended the Los Angeles Times’ Festival of Books held on UCLA’s campus. Mackenzie tagged along and got a book about princesses doing things in pink. I wanted to tell her how uncool pink princesses can be and she just wanted the stickers inside.
Two of these photos are taken by Mackenzie herself! Can you guess which ones? She loves staging people in weird positions with weird props, but is actually very good at composing through the viewfinder. If you can believe it, I actually trusted her enough to hold my 40D and snap away.
