We have been living in Orlando, what – for a few years now and there isn’t any dedicated page on this blog for places to visit? What is wrong with me? It’s never too late, thanks to J from J’s Everyday Fashion for inviting me to a lunch meeting with fabulous people at Florida Mall here in Orlando. I had the pleasure of meeting the Director of Mall Marketing, Jamie Roy, President of Bitner Kennessy, Kimbra Hennessy, Mark Baratelli, Jennifer ( we did Chevy’s Girl on the Go promotion together) and Sarah Lundy from Orlando Sentinel.
We lunched at Buca di Beppo and chatted about Florida Mall’s new mobile phone application released just in time for Black Friday “high tech” holiday shopping event. Since my new found love for Apple begin with a recent purchase of an iPad, I am already loving what the app world has to offer. Tons of great information while shopping.

What would you do when you forgot to pack something as important as a Nikon D5000 DSLR camera and a Flip cam for a road trip to attend a major festival? For a self-taught photographer and a blogger, this type of forgetfulness is literally a nightmare! How could I ever make such mistake? Well, I’m human and aren’t we all built to make mistakes? 😉
Are you a great packer? Or are you like me, always figuring things in the head without a list?
Anyways, it all begun with an email from an OnStar representative. Me and the hubs were invited to attend a long weekend of awesomeness: The Miami Music Festival as OnStar’s guests.

Looking back at the archives, my Diwali posts has been very lame 😀 My bad. Not enough photos and description. But hey, I was busy with my MBA as well. And I used to take plenty time to be expressive on my blog – very time consuming. Not to forget the constant “writer’s block”.
So, how did we celebrated Diwali this year? Not too bad 🙂 Though I wished I’d taken more photos of the food. Isn’t easy when you are the host entertaining your guest. Priorities are priorities 🙂

Now, you would think that a community lake would have motivated us to buy a boat and ride it whenever we want. No way. We are stingy and thrifts in this weakening economy. Truth to be told: WE CAN’T AFFORD A BOAT. But that doesn’t stop us from experiencing the adventures of boat ride when we chanced upon Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour. It’s all about alternatives people.
Warning: A lot of photos and very few words 😉
