more pix from the long days work at the dog park

Vincents first Dog Park!

Another wonderfully beautiful day in LA today and thought that I wouldnt want such a pretty day to go to waste. So I took all the pups out to the dog park. Mel did his own thing like always and Coco followed me while Vincent was being sniffed from left and right! He had no clue where he was! I had a couple of people come up and ask if he was a cat! ummmm... we are at a dog park!

Yesterday

Was such an LA day. It was one of those days where I loved LA. Sunny, warm, clear skies, good music on the radio.
I went to a couple of castings, dont know if I did well or not. But I had a fun time doing it and met some new nice people. Got myself a garden burger, shredded lettuce with cheese and some fried zucchini on the side , from Astro Burger of course. And drove home with the windows down. Ahhh LA your so good to me.....

River~

Over the Holidays I got to go and spend some time with one of my BFF's. She used to live on my street but moved away about a year and a half ago. I go visit her now and then. She lives by the river now, so I will def be up there more during the summer!
Anyways, the news was that she had a baby. THE CUTEST BABY EVER! Her name is River :) awwww soo cute. Love you guys~

Happy 2009 Parade Dance

Happy New Year!! (Video Version)

Rose Parade 2009

The Best New Years EVER~!

Before anything, it was Josh's Birthday. Happy Birthday again Joshie. Love you!
OK! On New Years Eve, I got to eat the Last Nabe of the year at HARU in Weho. Got to spend time with my close friends and have a relaxing night. Then went over to see the floats the day before the parade. WOW, that was amazing! The Rose Parade is something I have been watching since I moved down to LA, and this time I actually got to see the floats up close! They were soooo~ cool! It makes you want to be a float maker!(iam sure there is a word for that...hehehe) But its that cool looking! We did the count down on the street and then went home and celebrated the count down one last time for 2008. My dad came over and we played Rock Band till late! So Much Fun! The next morning we woke up super early and went to go see the Rose Parade in Action. The marching bands make the parade so much more exciting! Hope you watched it on TV!!
My fav's were the Wizard of Oz, Mad Hatter and the Jack in the Box float! Yes, JAck in the Box,,,,Jack was on the float dancing with all these groovy 70's dancers. So much fun!

Fearless.....And I love that

On my New ipod, the most i have been listening to is Lady GaGa. Thought I would post it for you who so not know who she is yet.
Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

Love you all.-friedia

Good Night Ai.....

Today I found out from a friend who just came back from Tokyo, that my friend just passed away. Her name was Ai. I worked with her on a few TV shows. She was the nicest lady I had ever met in the entertainment industry. She would always light up the crowd. Give me advice, gifts and always believed in me.I had not seen her for a couple of years. But, she did come to say good bye to my brother. (" Thank you again Ai chan")That was the last I saw her. We sat and cried and talked..and cried. Now I cry for her.... I still cannot believe it. Iam in shock...
I was thinking of her a couple weeks ago and sent her an email....she wrote me right back. Saying we would hang out next time I was in Tokyo.She said " We will see each other soon, right?"
Good night Ai chan. I will always remember you and the kind words you gave to me and so much more. I hope you see Josh up there. You can rest now. Rest in Peace. We will all miss you.

Havent done much shopping, but I have been trying to get in the spirit! I made everyone a christmas card this year! Wish I could give it to you guys reading my blog!....One day...

JOY RICH @ Lallure

Iam a fan and a friend of the people over at Joy Rich. They are so talented and so much fun! Well, they had a party at a store in Hollywood called Lallure this past Sunday and my friend Hide and I went down there to check it out! I bumped into a lot of my friends there! After the show we decided, well..Hide and I decided to take them to my fav Thai place in LA, Ruen Pair! The dinner was probably the most fun of all! We couldnt stop laughing!!! hehehe :)

Another Fabulous night at LV!

So Louis V had another little get together at the century city mall on thursday night. So we all decided to go. And this time I was gonna show them how "I" wear Black! The food was yummier than the last one! Plus we got little goodie bags! THank you LV! LV U!

01 EARTH WORKS

So the night before the opening of the Earth Works event went really well. I was very nervous of going. When we were waling in I saw my painting right out in the front! Both of them! They hung it right out side of the door of the restaurant. And a lot of people came up and asked me if that was the one I did, and that they liked it etc etc! It was very cool to hear that! I have always been an artist in the closet. I would draw a lot! And keep it stored away for some day to come out in the sunlight again. Well, KIO the artist who coordinated the show was the guy who helped me get it out there. And Iam very great full he did. Another gallery actually approached me to see my previous art work! And I would like to thank all my buddies that came over to support me! We had a good ol time! Good organic food and drinks and music and good company...oh and really good artists! Lots of very unique cool art! It will still be up for a month! So if you can make it, please swing by and have lunch there while enjoying the creative art around you!

LOUIS VUITTON & GQ PARTY

Last night my friend invited me over to the Louis Vuitton and GQ party in Beverly Hills! Here we are!!
To tell you the truth, the music, food and atmosphere was great..but the crowd was not so much fun. It was a lot older than Iam used to. And I went in wearing hot pink tights, shiny black skirt, yellow top with a tux jacket and booties to match. Everyone was looking at me like...." Where was your black dress??"
I had a fun time! No one is taking us down! We were there for an hour and left!:)

QIO Christmas Party~!

Saturday I went party hopping! There was this party at this new store in Little Tokyo ( forgot to take photo's) then we headed over to Qio's party! We walked in right when the fashion show was happening! Perfect timing. We also got to play a quick game of bingo. Very fun night!! Hope there will be more parties to come!

My day out with my digi camera
