So I've been MIA for a couple of years now and decided it was time to get back on the horse, bite the bullet, rip off the Band-Aid, etc. You catch my drift. The fact is, I've always loved to write and I have missed it. I find it to be very calming and therapeutic. So as long as I'm back at it, I might as well give you some good news. My favorite local restaurant is coming to Stockton later this year. Here is there website.http://papaurbsgrill.com/
PAPA URB's GRILL!!! Filipino food with a twist! I've been driving from Stockton to Tracy since they opened their doors in November of 2010. I am so happy to be able to frequent a closer location. It's going to be located in the Newberry building downtown.
But until then please enjoy these drool worthy pictures:

Yummy Turron for dessert!

Wipe the drool from your mouth and continue on friends!!

You've got to long for the days of yore...
...or at least I do. I am so sickened by how dependant we are on mobile technology. And believe me I am the WORST of all. My phone is screwed up for the second time in a couple of months and I feel so lost. Pathetic...believe me I know! So I wish it were as simple as just longing for those days of yore, but alas we have come way to far. Such is life!!

You've got to Live like your Dying...
Can we please have a moment of silence and a respectful tip of the 40 in honor of Nate Dogg?!!! 41 years old and gone...so sad! He was my fave! At least we have classic songs like, "Regulators" to remember him by. So everyone please enjoy this video courtesy of www.youtube.com.

You've got to start somewhere...
So I've always been intrigued by the thought of writing a blog. Ever since I watched the movie, "Julie and Julia", which I happened to love, I have wanted to start a blog of my very own.
I like the idea of being able to write about anything I feel at the moment and there being a slight chance that it could peak the interest of 1 or 1 million different people. Who knows...maybe no one will ever read what I write, but just writing words brings a sense of calm in my otherwise CRAZY life! This blog will feature art, food, music, movies and most of all lots of my opinions!! What could be better... ;)
I love art...I am a self taught artist. It is my passion and the one thing I am truly good at without trying very hard. It comes naturally and that I owe to my grandfather, John Faselli. Check back for more from this Artsy Fartsy Kind of Gal. That's all for now!!
