Nail of the month?
It's been a while since I paint my nails. I'm not a big fan of this one. The finish is not that good.

Essie Mezmerized w/ Essie Meet Me at Sunset on accent finger
As much as I love these 2 colors, I think the blue ones will stain pretty bad when I take it off :(

Spicy tuna volcano
This is one of my favorite easy and yummy recipe from my friend. The Japanese store near my place sells chopped tuna with green onion, so that makes my life much easier too! If your store does not have chopped tuna, you can use food processor to chop the tuna. Mix it with japanese mayonnaise and spicy sauce of your choice. I sometimes use either Sambal ABC or Sriracha, depending what I currently have.
the mix
I cheated and used frozen onigiri that I bought in Japanese market. Traders Joe used to sell one for cheap($2.99 I think), but I could not find it anymore. The one in Japanese market is way more expensive($6.99). For the one I bought in Traders Joe, I usually heat it up in the pan with some butter. But the one from Japanese market is too soft and the rice breaks down if I heat it in the pan, so I use microwave for those. Once that's done, put your spicy tuna mix on top of the onigiri and dinner is ready to be served!
end product *yumm*

Quattro
RV bought this Travelzoo deal for dinner at Quattro, so we decided to try it this weekend. Reviews in Yelp is so-so, so we don't have big expectations.
The restaurant is located inside Four Seasons Hotel in East Palo Alto. The hotel is really nice and I love the decor inside the restaurant. It's very casual with some big TVs around the restaurant.
The voucher we have includes 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 desserts and 2 glasses of sparkling wine for both of us. After ordering, the server served us breads; one is kinda' garlic-ky and the other is just a plain white bread.
My appetizer is the veal carpaccio. I don't usually like rare meats, but this one is slightly cooked and tasted okay, so I enjoyed it.
RV got the seafood salad. This definitely tasted better! But RV said it tasted like airlines foods ("__")'
For entrees we got rib eye and grouper. The foods are just okay. I wish both have more seasonings, but it's not that bad.
My favorites were the desserts! RV loved the desserts too! We got tiramisu and italian donuts with dark chocolate and salty caramel dippings. *love*
Bottom line, we don't think we're coming back. It's too pricey for the kind of foods we got. I heard they have Sunday Supper deal which is better deal than the Travelzoo coupon, so if you want to try eating here, that might be a good option for you.

J.crew Tillary Tote
It's finally here! I've been contemplating on this bag for a while. I already have Celine micro in black smooth leather and I feel that this would be too similar. But I love the color on this and when it went on sale, of course I just can't resist!
J.Crew Tillary Tote in Canvas/Leather Combo
I love that this bag has so many compartments. There's a zipped compartment inside, a cell phone holder and another pocket beside it. Both of the flap in front and back can also be opened which would reveal another pocket.
