Apple & Villeroy & Boch

This is how all morning should start.  The Sun, my Apple Computer, and my favorite Villeroy & Boch laté mug (New Wave).  These two companies are in two different industries and create beautiful, functional, and quality products.  Even through the recession, one would want to treat him/herself to any number of their products.  This is when simplicity meets design, or as I say " elegance through simplicity".

Date Night at Orange, Ca

If you are thinking about taking your date to some where a little different, I recommend Felix Continental Cafe.  They serve Cuban food at very reasonable prices.  The atmosphere is casual to slightly semi-formal.  It is located at the heart of City of Orange, Ca.  The locals call the area the Plaza and most of the young Chapman University students call it the Circle.  Felix is at 36 Plaza Square, Orange, ca 92866.

Newport Beach: A Place To Be Seen

The Upper Newport Bay is located in Newport Beach, California.  It is just a breath taking beautiful estuary that borders highly developed area.  It is situated between UC Irvine, John Wayne Airport, and Fashion Island.  Some of the most Beautiful Weekend Warriors run and walk in this area amongst some serious runners.  At times, it is more like a place to be seen than just enjoying the estuary itself.  If you are visiting this area, it is definitely worth visit, a stroll, or even a run.

Caterham Super 7►Laguna Beach, Ca

This particular morning, I was at Laguna Beach, Ca.  The home town of the MTV series The Hills, The OC, and Lauren Conrade.  I was in search of something unusual, so I can take a picture for Alizé & Brant.  The norm in this charming beach town is a warm very friendly residents, with a touch of Noveau Riche, and a pinch of local tourists.  The street are full of amazing art galleries with works from the local artists.  Great café & restaurant are everywhere.  The usual things are Mercedes and BMWs, but I found something with character.  A car that was not polished and it was not in a show room condition.  It was just refreshing to see that one of the residents owned a car that showed his creative thinking.  To set himself apart, he was driving Caterham Super 7 ( A kit-car by Lotus Cars) and displaying his great taste and individualism among the towns residents.  According to him this was a 1995 model:
