San Antonio Weekend

April 20, 2015 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I’m a week behind but I still want to capture it. Long update from a week or so ago that made me smile from ear to ear. You can just look at the little number of pictures I have embedded.

Friday, April 10th: I met Liliana at her house where we caught up for hours and started planning out our mini Austin trip for when we go to Lake Travis for a wedding. I cannot wait! Liliana then treated me to a dinner which I didn’t know she would do until we got the check. Thank you, Liliana!

Egg rolls, quail eggs, three different types of sushi rolls, and a ceviche type salad. Everything was lovely. I would definitely go back to this place again. Hopefully then they’ll actually have that Love Shot we wanted to try.

During my time with Liliana, Cantu had texted me talking trash about how the Spurs were going to beat up the Rockets.Him contacting me was perfect timing because I was going to mail something to him when it neared his birthday. Before the night ended, we decided that if things work out, we would meet up for a bit the next day. I was really hoping we do since we hadn’t seen each other in 4 years. Crazy how time flies.

Liliana and I head home to find Patricia and Ricardo chilling in front of the telly to which I hung out with them a bit before we all headed to bed.

Saturday, April 11th: Liliana headed home for the Bluebonnet Festival so Patricia and I had our date day. IHOP for breakfast, HEB to buy goodie bag items for some FTKers, then went and watched an early bird showing of Furious 7. I wept like a baby. Ride In Paradise, Paul.

Patricia’s friend sold beauty products and invited a few friends over to see them while I put the goodie bags together. Once the last person from the event left, Patricia and I went off to UTSA for the 2015 FTK Dance Marathon. Midway through Patricia and I grabbed a late lunch at A&W — which I really don’t recommend. The floor was slippery and felt like it hadn’t been cleaned so everything just made my stomach turn.

We went back and stayed til the end to see FTK surpass the previous year in fundraising. So proud of them and thankful I was able to catch up with old friends and advisors. Many tears and laughter.

Since I had dinner plans with some FTK folks, I did a quick meetup with Cantu. I couldn’t stay long so I jumped out of Patricia’s car and stood outside where we did our hugs, gave him his gift, and caught up as fast as we can in the 5 minutes of what felt like 2 seconds. I was sad I couldn’t stay. He opened his gift after we departed and he loved it … or so he says. Which I am happy about. Love when people are happy because of the little things!

We met up with the other FTKers where everyone ordered alcohol and food and I stuck with wings. Which I regret getting because they were so delicious I couldn’t stop until I had a few left. Sigh … It was a grand time. I really do miss seeing these almost every day. Everyone move to Houston, puhlease.

Afterward it was back home to watch telly and fall asleep.

Sunday, April 12th: I drove home promptly after waking up (with the little sleep I had) and pretty much passed out from exhaustion.

Monday, April 13th: I got a text message from Matthew H. I hadn’t spoken or seen him in almost 2 years and catching up with him, seeing he’s doing well and even better than before makes my heart swell up so big! I love hearing from people from my past and how wonderful they are doing.

The fact I got to see Cantu and catch up with Matthew definitely made my month.

March Madness

March 19, 2015 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Nope. This has nothing to do with basketball.

I was doing so well with the whole updating thing. At least two times a week. Then Joanna & Kiran’s Wedding broke me. So here’s a quick update because it’s already the halfway point for March.

2015-02-26 21.01.16

Joanna & Kiran’s Wedding Festivities

February 26th was the Indian Celebration which was a lot of fun. We called it a wedding, others called it a celebration. We got dressed up in saris and got our henna done. February 28th was the wedding day.We had the Chinese Tea Ceremony in the morning before the walk down the aisle that evening. We even had an after party at a bar where all the youngens showed up. This was when we had more time to converse with Joanna and Kiran. Overall, fun fun fun! It was nice getting to see family members get tipsy/drunk and spend time and joke with them. As we get older, it’s harder to come together so it’s always a grand time.

Bridal/Bachelorette/Wedding Planning

Although one wedding is down, I still have four more to go! Luckily I don’t have to help out with Tara & Tim’s. But then there is Michelle & Matthew, Wacko & Monica, and Brother & Tammy. For Wacko & Monica’s, I’m just helping them making little decoration name tags but planning for the other two are on full speed.

Social Media Brainstorming Projects

As SCC gains more followers, Ed’s becoming more serious in being more organized and wanting to build a website and a logo so I’ve been coaching him along the way whenever I have time to sit down and help him out with all the technical stuff.

Which is also what I’m trying to help Jakob with. His Instagram is getting a lot of love as time goes on and wants to take it to the next level. He takes some pretty awesome shots, so go check him out. Hopefully I’ll be able to help him where I can because I really do see him go places with this.

Musical…ness?

Bonnie had a birthday celebration at Howl at the Moon, March 13th. We got to see some fun … and sometimes ridiculous renditions of songs. And I finally got to see Michelle and decided it was photobooth time. St Patty’s theme cuz duh. Too hilarious. We didn’t know it would cover up our faces.

I finally went to my first real Rodeo. Usually I go and walk around and … eat. This time I got to see the Rodeo Rodeo and saw Billy Currington! He sang all of my favorite songs and then he surprised the crowd with Bruno Mars’ Uptown Funk. Mmm .. hello Billy.

That’s pretty much the update since the last post. It feels like March Madness over here even though March was suppose to be my do nothing month. Sigh.

Until next time,

Grand Weekend

I got to meet Tony & Ann’s new puppy! Westie named Zoey. Or as their son calls her, Bunny Rabbit. Too cute. She’s the same size as Rizzo when he came home!

My usual Chinese New Year picture. Around this time of year, I always get jokes (or maybe they’re serious) about how they should marry an Asian that celebrates Chinese New Year so they can receive red envelopes.

Sebastian and Vincent have a band, Phrolic. They do covers but they also write their own songs and perform them. I try to make their gigs whenever I can and this time I’m so glad I did. I got to see old friends from high school and make new ones.

Then I did something unexpected. Instead of going home afterward, I decided to go to Midtown with some of them. Sometimes I forget that being spontaneous has its perks because I actually had fun … despite the super crowds and a little bit of drama. It was nice to have conversations about nothing and everything with one of them.

Then I got sick from Krystal. Yay …

I’ve had to call in sick but I cannot rest. Wedding things for Joanna’s wedding is almost done. Rizzo’s been helping me.

Hoping I am well enough to get back to work tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
