Apartment Hunting Adventure!

Well I was contemplating between 'cool apps' or 'dating sites' to write about. I'm still not too sure but I think I will give you a little update on what I have been doing with my life.

So recently, I have moved to OC because I got a job offer and started working immediately. I'm staying with a relative close to where I work but not quiet. The only problem that is really motivating to look for apartment everyday is that this place has a parking issue. There are no parking what so ever available if you come home after 5pm .. grr.

So, how I'm looking for apartment? Well other than Craiglist, I have found some cool apps to help me look for apartment on the go.


Apartment Finder: the best app there is. It saved me tons of time and energy. All you have to do is put the filter criteria and you can search. It will show you in two options - maps or list views. In a map you can see the number of how many apartments are vacant. 


What I like about this app is that once you click on the apartment you like, you can call directly and after the call, you can type in the details on the 'Add notes'. When you save the listing as your favorite, you can see the details as you look through. Perfect! Don't have to keep guessing the details.

Lovely: when I first accepted this job I told everyone that I was moving. One of my co-worker suggested I look into Lovely. It's almost similar to Apartment Finder. Only cool thing about this app is that the red dots are the ones that are added to the app new/fresh listings. It really helps me and notifies me when a new listing comes up. 



PadMapper: This is a very overwhelmed app for me but still helpful. This one looks similar to google map except it shows you all the listings with red pin drop. Once you hover your mouse over, you can see a small preview of the details that looks like Craiglist listings.

Zillow: Now Zillow is almost same as PadMapper but the cool thing about this one is that it will save you tons of time trying to hover over or click to see the details. If you have a budget that you are looking for your apartment, then this app will show you all the listing on the map with their pricing on it. You can easily see all the listings and filter out the details 

So, let me know which is your favorite and why. Happy Hunting!!

Love Quotes and me

So I have been on Pinterest again! This time I wanted to see some inspiring quotes because I was feeling down or unmotivated. Then I come across few love quotes that I absolutely fell in love with.  I know I'm usually a hopeless romantic person but not that mushy mushy romantic. I'm very picky when it comes to love quotes and things like that. So here are some... Pretty self explanatory. For some people it would be ahh one of those quotes. For me, I love it because it make a comparison with ocean. If anything that I love the most about earth, that would be ocean. It's deep and full of wonders. It's peaceful under the sea. How do I know? Well I have tried snorkeling and I tell you, once you put your head down and your ears are block, it's peaceful and calm.  I'm also single and sometimes I think why am I still single. The reason is I'm picky at a point where I don't find it okay to accept a guy who isn't the guy I'm looking for. When

Shuttle Endeavour flyover!!

So, I heard that there was a shuttle Endeavour that was going to be showcased in some museum and they were flying the shuttle all OVER Los Angeles. I was working on my desk and then everyone was just running around and with camera. I was asking people what was going on in the office and heard that there was a shuttle is being flown over a plane. It was SO exciting to see the shuttle. At first, I wasn't so excited but when I saw it coming toward us through the foggy sky, man excitement just rose. I didn't think it would be a sigh to see but it was worth it. Yep that's exactly how I felt. Anyway, here's what it looks like. Some of my colleague took picture of as it was going around the building.  Shuttle is on the top of the plane by NASA.  If you see there are two small jets. They were escorting Endeavour Endeavour was flying over Hollywood Mountains So, anyway if you're interested to see the landing, here's a link to it

Bar Adventure!

So me and my girlfriend decided to go for a drink last Saturday. We weren't sure where to go and I decided to Yelp it. Gosh the good thing about living in Hollywood was that there are limitless bars, lounges, clubs, and restaurant where they have small bar as well. Not to mention some of the restaurant opens only at night so they can be open till 2am.   *I know freakingggg awesomeEE!!!*   We saw this lounge call  The Woods - Hollywood , it was cheap plus looks good and had a good reviews. We go there, parked my car, (by the way it's only valet parking unless you park on the street - about $5), go inside and sit.  GUESS WHATT???  Freaking bar.. only 1-2 people and I think they were barely setting up, not sure. But funny, we sat there and not even one waiter bothered to approach us. It felt so freaking weird and not to mention I was wearing freaking cocktail dress and the other 1-2 people were wearing jeans like it's every other day bar and it's not FRIDAY!!
