ohana

our family hasn't taken a proper vacation in over a decade and this last month was the best time to redeem that. sophia and chris took this as an opportunity to make this their official babymoon before they become official parents. and the rest of the us took this as a chance to do absolutely nothing. it's the best feeling really. after spending five splendid and dreamy days in hawaii, i've come to realize that even with all the beautiful things we can buy and own, being successful at work, and everything else that comes with that - no one can take and nothing can replace the experience of travelling the world and having a truly loving family to enjoy all those moments with. juuust saying.

Everything and Nothing

I am seriously starting to question the effectiveness of going to bed purposely early to be able to study the next morning if I can't sleep. Bah.
Other than that, things have been quite interesting. We've been having friends over for the past month or so, and now my brother and hie family have gotten back from South Africa as well. Things here are never boring...and crowded! The darling nephew.

I've managed to develop a healthy obsession with electronica, electro-pop, new wave, trip-hop, or really anthing with a synthezier in it. My newest find is Isao Tomita. But my personal bests are probably Portishead and Depache Mode.





Some other great music I've been delving in is folk and all it's subsets. Older italian artists were pretty great at that.



Also, something I've found rather refreshing and inspiring are anime series from the '80. The five of us younger siblings have been having a great time re-viewing those cartoons we watched as lil' kids.
Our all-time favorite is Saint Seiya (Knights of the Zodiac).

Taking off for now. Back soon. If this post doesn't keep you entertained till then, I really don't know what will.
Ciao!

Eye candy

BEYOND lustworthy I say!

See my excitement??

You should all be able to recongize this artwork, so I won't tell you the name......


It was such a beautiful day, so I dragged my sister out to snap these shots. Of course I meant to show you guys my YSL, but the arival of my sister and her new, iconic, top of the must-have-bag lists worldwide, understandably eclipsed the poor thing. I was well meaning, and made plans for a new outfit show casing Yves, but I subsequently ran off to play "Guerrilla" with my lil' coz, and have since then been busy busy busy. It'll have to wait. I hope you understand.
Thanks for letting me spend time with the pooch sis!
P.S. Over 100 followers! Thank you too guys.

Mnozil Brass

Yesterday my family and I went to see such an amazing concert, I think we're still blown away.
Mnozil Brass are an Austrian septet comprised of 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, and 1 tuba. As posted other times on this blog, my brother is a musician, and of course we couldn't miss out. Never mind that it was totally grand and mind blowing. I mean, these guys entertain a crowd for two and a half hours, and never get a single note wrong.
They've got an amazing repertoire, ranging from classical to jazz, and throwing in some Michael Jackson in between.
Clap, clap, clap.
And they are UBER-funny....UBER.


Video included especially for Ozie(since I told the poor thing all about it and she feels like she missed out on the world, and I feel bad)

Handsomeness...

My nephew Lorenzo...zia misses you love.

I MISS YOU!(....So get your butts here and vist.)

Fotos de Italia (para mi Ozie....)

Si si...we're back..alll of us....plus some of Crystal's family from japan. It's great to be back! I promised Ozie lots of pictures (as you can tell from the above title) and I won't keep her hanging for long.
We haven't really done much, seeing we just got here yesterday. But we did go for pizza already...nice pizza, and my beloved library of course.
Anyway, here are some pics we took.

Happy Birthday Mommy

Si, Tanti Auguri mamma.
Well, I'm sorry that you have to be spending your birthday working away, and that I'm home hogging your computer so you'll only see this in a couple of days.
But know that your a cool mom and don't look 50.
