Fotoluxx by Harleene Bonales Cean One Photographer: April 2007

i haven't posted in a long time, so of course the result of my negligence is an enormous picture post!!

april fools day my sister and i wanted to go to brunch, but opted for something that would cost less then $10 bucks for the both of us. i'm not cheap, just thrifty.

i'm glad we went, because then i wouldn't have noticed the little girl on the right hand side above my sister's shoulder. at one point both her mom and little brother got up to refill their beverages, she watched them go over there and like a little munchkin thief she reached over to her moms pizza, took a bite, and put it back down. hahahaha. then she looked around to make sure no one was coming, reached over to her brothers pizza, took a bite, and put it back down, munching on her victorious sneakiness, oblivious to the fact that i'm watching the whole thing, amazing. when her mom and brother came back to the table she happily ate her own slice of pizza. hahaha. awesome.

thursday april 5th the entire family, along with family visiting from mexico, went out to see my hometown team the angels!

i'm so excited! while joey plays it cool. paparazzi over the shoulder shot!

Anaheim Angels vs. Oakland Athletics

coolest little kid ever. peanuts! over here please!

sorry buddy, you're out.

the batter, the pitch, and the swing!

angels lose. didn't matter much to me because i saw my aunt america at the game and she gave us the good news that she's pregnant! yay! CONGRATS!!

wednesday april 11 i get to play chauffer and pick up everyone who got to go to disneyland without me. then we went to my aunt rocio's house which has the creepiest basement i've ever seen.

this is carved on the side of the stairs. caaaarazy.

curious enough to peek inside but not to come down. haha.

thursday april 12 i ventured to san diego with the family go to SEA WORLD! hahaha.

my dad and sister.

shamu!!!

cool kids.

the biggest reason why i wanted to go to sea world was for this:

feeding the dolphins!

alex and cute dolphin.

of course sea world has carnival games so that people can throw away more money. my dad decided to go for the, you know every mans gotta prove they are tough, game.

first you adjust your baseball cap. then you get ready to swing and...

boom! bam! he won a shamu for my little sister which she nicknamed "smushy".

sleepy polar bears.

this guy is one of my most favorite sea creatures, the beluga whale. they're so fairy tale like to me.

manatees are my absolute favorite. sea world had this great exhibition called manatee rescue. from the sea world website: is one of a handful of U.S. locations outside Florida displaying the endangered Florida manatee. Here you can see several rescued and rehabilitated manatees residing in a 215,000-gallon freshwater river - featuring a natural environment for manatees and a dramatic underwater viewing gallery for guests.

front and back.

oooh shark.

this little guy totally new i was taking his picture. hahaha.

cut to friday night april 13th and we've landed in vegas.

the thing with vegas, is that i have a love and hate relationship with that place. so i was loving and hating the fact that i was there. and... why does it seem that nightime vegas turns into a competition to see what girl can out slut the other?

saturday morning i ate some of the best food (i'm mexican, so it food to me haha) i have had in a really long time, well outside of my moms kitchen. we went to this place called mi lindo michoacan. it's east on desert inn past maryland. sooo fucking good.
