Pagani Zonda F Roadstar


I am not exactly a car fanatic... but this exotic machine caught my attention. This beauty has a nice masculine look with curves at the right places...I fell in love with it instantly...Love at the first sight :)

Pagani produces only 25 of these beauties every year and I believe it costs about $1.8m.

Adventures in LA

1. Got lost on my first day in LA... sob sob... Had an ice cream float @ Denny's for dinner (at 12 midnight) while trying to read the map... can't believe I walked from 9pm to 2am...


2. Went for a spin in a cool black Porsche with the top down.... An unforgettable experience. Thanks to a new found fren (",)


3. Enjoyed shopping @ Disney Downtown and watching the kids walking out from the bear workshop looking extremely pleased with their "self-designed"bears (latest accessories for teddy bears - roller skates...)

4. Met a cute, brilliant, 3 - year old Mexican girl who kept me entertained on my way to LAX. She spoke and sang so beautifully in Mexican that the one hour journey in the stuffy shuttle service didn bother me at all.


5. Met the real Uncle of "Phoebe" from the show "Friends". Interesting personality who was trying very hard to to convince me to get married to some rich men in Toronto... had a tough time running away from him.

Overall, the 2 days stay in Anaheim was great though I didn visit any of the known attractions...

Albuquerque, New Mexico

Best of Albuquerque...

Read from one of their official websites that Albuquerque is known for its balloon festival attracting more than 700 balloonists and hundreds of thousands of spectators to Albuquerque every October. The weather in Albuquerque makes it a suitable place for hot air ballooning...

Albuquerque lies 5000 feet above sea level (i think) and has a desert climate. I enjoyed the strong winds the best. Gives you a sense of freedom and happiness :>

Some of the photos taken during my stay there.... Visited the Old Town and the Sandia Casino...heard Sandia Peak and the mountains are nice but I didn have enuf time to get around..
