"Welcome to Adulthood "

Hello hello! It feels as though it's been a while since I've last blogged. I don't have many good quality photos from my birthday but I thought I'd just talk about it anyways. ◕‿◕
So! My two generous friends, Thao and Ian, decided that they would throw me and Wesley a combined birthday party because we both have the same birth date. This was the cake that I ordered from Nob Hill because they have a really great bakery there and also it comes in handy that Aaron works there and gets a discount lolol. 
 We had WAY too much alcohol. Lol it wasn't even 10 PM and I was already really tipsy. 
lolol found this on my phone OMG DOM. 
 Sean!!!! (AKA the person that I kept blowing hookah smoke into his face HAHA) SIDE STORY: Sean kept telling me about how he's gonna get hella black chicks when he goes to John Hopkins because everyone thinks he's black and theres a lot of black girls in Baltimore. So then every time we took a shot together I would do a toast and say "Here's to the black bitches in Baltimore!!!!" lolololol I just thought that was funny...
We had two hookahs and hookah pens! ahhhhhhh
Me and ZHANE
^Jusss me bein cute and sillay
 Isaiah! He could do O's with the smoke and other coolio tricks
 Me and Isaiah + Saeko's middle finger
Sayko and I
The Three Muskaqueers (LOL JK)
So those are about all the photos from the party. I was really glad that we got to throw it and that it was all really successful. Even though we didn't get to have a BBQ we did have pizza. And my friend Bobby even ended up bringing more pizza after he got off work so there was plent of yummy food! And I got my breadsticks too. I was happy that I also got to see a ton of my friends before we all go our separate ways. In the end, I had a lot of fun and I'm really happy to have such great friends. ^_^

The Day After
I woke up the next morning at 11 AM and Saeko and Diamond were at my front door. They brought me my birthday gift which was a video game that I'd really wanted! 

This was the game that they got me! I had been telling them ever since that I bought my kinect that I wanted this game and it was really nice of them to remember and buy it for me!
Saeko also made me these really yummy cupcakes. 。◕‿◕。
Then I went to an early lunch with my family to the Yardhouse in Sanatana Row. The food was REALLY good. It was my first time there and they gave me a free birthday chocolate cake thingy. Afterwards we just shopped around on Santana Row but I was so tired from the night before that I didn't even feel like moving after we ate lol.
Lastly, Aaron surprised me with picking me up for dinner in a taxi cab. He really didn't want me to have to drive us on a date for my birthday, and also when we were first dating I used to have a bucket list and one of the things on it was to ride in the backseat of a cab. I wasn't sure where we were going for dinner but I was really glad that I decided to wear heels because he took me out to La Fondue in Downtown Saratoga. It was really yummy and fancy and EXPENSIVE. They had some weird stuff on the menu lol like wild antelope and other interesting stuffs I can't remember. Afterwards we went to the Cheesecake Factory and picked up a cheesecake to go and then we all sang Happy Birthday at my house. We also watched Temptation from red box which was the WORST movie ever. It was one of those movies that were so bad that you just have to laugh at it. 
Anyways, Aaron gave me a Star Wars card and he said that my gift is not ready just yet so I should be getting it some time this week. 

Now that I'm 18 
The last thing that I want to talk about is what I want to do now that I am finally legally an ADULT. I am planning on getting a tattoo. I'm not really sure what I want it to be just yet though. I was thinking about doing a dream catcher because I am part Native American and I did grow up believing that the dream catcher my aunt gave me would chase away all my nightmares. 
This is kinda like something that I was thinking of getting but it'd be on my back and it would be a lot smaller. And also I wouldn't get color cause that's just so expensive. But then I was thinking about doing a meaningful quote but I just don't know what yet. I feel like I'm really going to have to look deep inside my mind to figure out exactly just what I want. I also plan on going to hookah lounges now! I was never really interested in hookah until this year, so I'm not really that into it to the point where I'd buy my own hookah. I would like to go to a hookah lounge with my friends and just all hang out together there!

In the end, I had a really good birthday and I can't believe how much time as really flown by. I'm starting to feel old and like I've lost too much time already--which is really silly of me because I'm still in my teen years. I had really fun celebrating my entrance into adulthood with all of my friends and family. I will keep everyone updated about more of the fun stuff that has been happening in my life soon. Love & Rockets, Somer

BOOM BOOM

Hello everyone! This post today will mostly be photos of what I did for 4th of July! 
Usually every year I spend the 4th of July with my friends and we usually just find places to go to watch fireworks. This year my parents were like: NOH you're gonna c yo family. So instead I went to Monterey with my family + Aaron and spent one night there. It was really fun and I was glad Aaron got to come with us because he's pretty familiar with Monterey cause he grew up down there too. And it was almost like we got to go on a real vacation with each other  ~how romantic~*

At ze warf~
super kawaii~
Face looked ugly so I put a heart on it. LOL
My eyes were closed T^T
Sad because he wore jeans and sneakers so he couldn't go in the water.
Far away photo of da seals 
 Me, my sister, and my cousin all climbed rocks to get a closer look at the seals floating close by. They were sho cute and I couldn't believe how close we were able to get to them!
LOL seals little head swimming towards us
More of the seals chillin on the rocks
lolol the sun was so bright I couldn't see a dang thing, but this is us waiting for the trolly in Cannery Row.

Afterwards we went to my Aunt's house in Seaside and we had a BBQ and then set off some fireworks because it's legal there. It was really fun and both my aunt's ended up buying TONS of fireworks so we spent a good two hours just lighting them all up. 
They were so loud and smokey.
TIGER'S FURY *dum dum dummmmm* LOL I just thought the name was really funny.
And lastly here is photo of me with all of my cousins and my grandma. We took this photo right after we finished doing fireworks and were about to head home. 
 I'm glad that I ended up going with my family to Monterey because it was really fun and good way to spend my 4th of july. Good food and good people--what more could you ask for right? That's all for now, toodles!
