I haven’t seen it yet, but I am just really happy for Justin Lin and how far he has come! Justin, congrats for the record-breaking opening and for being #1 in the Box Office! So awesome.
Was a blast! Not only to the past (’80s, rollercoasters, and slumber party), but it was jam-packed with activities!
It all started with a not-so-surprise ’80s prom birthday party for Ray, Vy, and me. Haha, a few people kinda ruined the surprise for me, but it was still fun! Plus, there were a few things about the party that really surprised me, like the whole prom picture setup, certain people who came through, and the amazing vegan cakes! Many thanks to Angela, Becky, Jeannie, Freddy, Ray, Danny, and of course, Daniel!
The next day, Jeannie took me shopping in the Fashion District and at the Forever 21 in Pasadena. Jeannie shops for celebs and knows how to look good with low budgets, so I was def one lucky gal. Here’s a sample of Jeannie’s picks for me:
I didn’t buy that first dress, cuz’ it was too big (notice that I’m bunching it up in the back). That 2nd dress… I have NO IDEA when the heck I’ll ever wear it, but it was super cheap! Here’s a lil’ clip I put together from the day with the rest of Jeannie’s picks:
Jeannie has one of the biggest hearts I know. Not only did she take me out shopping, but she treated me to dinner as well as the BEST ice cream I’ve ever had (and it’s VEGAN!). Scoops. Their Pistachio and Rose Water ice cream is to die for. Mmm…
Friday was my birthday. Since Disneyland has been doing a promo where you can go for free on your birthday, I went to California Adventures for the first time ever with Daniel and it was sooo much fun! We kinda got there late, so we only got to experience a few rides, but every single one that we went on was pretty fun (California Screamin’, Hollywood Tower, Toy Story Mania, Soaring Over California…).
Afterwards, Daniel dropped me off at Vy’s apartment for… a slumber party! I got there really late though (like 3 hours late)… and the girls tried to pretend like they had all left by hiding in the bathroom and under the covers, but I totally heard them on the way to the door~ lol. I guess I’m not an easy one to surprise
Anyway, Vy, Angela, and I ended up staying up til’ 5AM while the other girls knocked out. We were mostly talking, snacking, and drawing on Vy’s wall.. I’m actually really proud of this drawing I did of Vy’s dog, Tian Shi. I didn’t think I had it in me anymore (I grew up drawing a lot)… but I think I still got some skills:
Haha, anyway, you should see all the other things I drew… a unicorn, Hello Kitty, a failed attempt at drawing Vy… hahaha… a failed attempt at a dragonfly (how hard could that be?)…
Ah… good times. Mucho thanks to Linette and Chris for planning the sleepover! And to Vy for hosting! Hadn’t been to a sleepover since junior high! I also wanted to do an ’80s prom party for awhile now, too! So this was a really special birthday for me. I’ll definitely update again when Shinobi posts those prom pics up! To all that this applies to, thank you for the bday wishes!!!
Evil Monito! Wow. I’ve known the peeps behind this online gem for awhile now, but I never for the life of me thought I’d be material for them. Thanks to Emily, Sylvia, and Rickey for the love!

FAQ: Why "Peachies"?
"Peachies" was a nickname given to Grace in her freshman year of high school because she would always carry a bag of Trolli gummy peach rings with her (back then, the candy was called "Peachies"... they are now "Peachie-O's" or something like that). The nickname stuck and Grace started using it as her username for various online sites (AsianAvenue, Findapix, Xanga, Myspace, etc.)
Today, most of her friends in the "industry" know her as "Peachies" as well.
And coincidentally, Grace's Chinese name is Pei-Chi!
