i'm never washing my hand again

today has been one of the best days ever since i moved to nyc. now i could die a happy woman.

well, it happened. i got to meet THE EDGE!!!! in fact, i got to see the whole band and they were so damn close. it was unbelieveable and so exciting. i still can't believe that i actually touched the edge and that he was right in front of me. he has a face of an angel. i just wish i wasn't so nervous than i could have said something better than can i shake your hand. what a dork i am.

here's what happened. after we find out that we weren't gonna get wristbands to meet the band, i decided that i wanted and had to stay. this was gonna be my only chance to meet them. thank goodness that tim took the day off so he could take jonah home and i could hang out. luckily, i meet this girl (raquel) in line and we pretty much hung out together.

at first, we waited in the front of barnes and noble b/c all the media was there and we thought that since the media was there that they had to come in through the front. we waited in the hot sun for a couple of hours. then, i decided to check (just in case) if there was a back entrance to the store. what do you know, there was. it was the employee entrance. there were barricades there and some security so we decide to move to the back. thank God, we did b/c they finally showed up around 110p. here are some pics and 2 videos of their entrance.



















the big bald guy is bono's bodyguard. he was so nice, too. he was talking to all of us. when the security people tried to put up double barriers in front of the fans, he told them to take it away b/c bono doesn't like that and that bono would want to be close to his fans. how awesome is that? btw, i think the guy in the background w/ the sunglasses was eric bana. it funny to see that he was waiting, too.


after we get our book signed, raquel and i decide to stay until they leave. that way we could focus on getting pictures w/ them since they already signed our book. what was 2 more hours anyways. this is when i actually got to touch the edge and take a picture w/ adam clayton. raquel was able to take a picture w/ the edge and i tried to scoot in there, too but i don't know if i came out. she's gonna send me the picture. we'll see. here's the video of their exit and when i got to touch my man.







all the guys were so nice but bono stuck around the longest to talk to his fans and take pictures. such a cool dude. it was such a long day but it was soooo worth it. i'll never forget this day for the rest of my life.














btw, adam clayton is such a little hottie. i think he's my next favorite. :)

Tim Gunn ROCKS!

well, we got to finally meet the man himself, mr. tim gunn. he was just like i thought he would be. tim gunn is one classy and gracious guy. here's what went down.

we got to the emmett mccarthy's (season 2 designer) shop around 130p and waited in this line that seemed forever but in reality it didn't really take that long. i think the anticipation of seeing and meeting tim gunn just made it worse. anyways, the line didn't seem to take that long b/c while we were waiting, we saw alison (my tim could die a happy man now), nick, raymundo, emmett, malan and kane. click here to see some pics. everyone that we met from PR was so cool and so nice. i loved meeting each of them.

so after waiting in this line, we finally get to the garden where tim gunn was at. he was only going to be there until 3 and it was already 305p by the time we got to the front of the line. well, what do you know, after getting all the way to the front, there was this one girl ahead of us and then they stopped the signing. ughhhh! we were soooo disappointed but i was thinking that at least we got to see him up close. ;)

after he leaves, we decide to take off. when we get out to the front, we see that tim hasn't left yet b/c he was waiting for his car. so while he's waiting, people are approaching him to take pictures and sign more autographs. we thought that this would be the best time to get that picture that we wanted and meet the man of the hour. well, after signing autographs and taking pictures for 3 hrs in the garden and him being late for his next appnt, he was still so nice and gracious enough to take a picture w/ us and that's when we snapped this one.



LOVE IT! i'm more in love w/ tim gunn than ever. :)

mi familia

my time in bellevue, washington is coming to an end. i've been here for a week and half now and i'll be leaving this thursday. it's been great being w/ my sister and her fam, my gma and my mom. it was rough at times w/ just me and jonah but w/ the help of my fam, it's been good. the sad thing about us leaving is that i have no idea when the next time i'll be seeing everybody. it's finally hitting me now. i'm sad just thinking about it. i just love my family so much and i can't wait to see them again.

1st night meeting gma. we arrived at my sister's house at 1am which is 4a ET. jonah was up and in a great mood. such a great kid. :)


gma w/ the grandkids - tals, ells and jones

1st time on sand. he was very mesmerized.
