  • Guava n DonutsOne of the things I'll miss most about our old house is the delicious guava trees! Every year it produces the most tastiest guavas. I don't think I'm just biased, I think my dad grow the best guavas. And they're HUGE! Too bad we couldn't transplant them. Neither my Parents' new condo nor ours have a yard to grow the 2 trees.

    The house is on the market, but no one's put in an offer yet. No one's living there to guard the guavas. Every time my Parents' go to pick some guavas, they find missing ones. Especially the biggest ones! They notice the side gate opened each time. We suspect our neighbors. I'm so mad!!


    Look at these beauties. The cut pieces = 1 fruit. The little guava was from someone at church. Mmm... guavas.

  • HAHAHAHA! Look what my sister sent me: Pooh and his tupee!


    tupee pooh



    That's 10 inches of her hair from when she got it cut for Locks of Love. Hilarious!

    This Pooh Bear was actually a gift from Sam to me when we first started dating.
    But one day I let Amy borrow it because she was left home alone or was sick or something.
    And then, she never gave it back. They are now unseparable.
    Plus, I don't want it back because it's "UNCLEAN"!

    My Dad likes to pat and hold this bear and pretend it's his Grandchild.
    Once he went to a trade show in Vegas and came back with some mini t-shirts for Pooh bear that read:
    "My sister is my best friend" and "I love my big brother".


  • I finished reading The Time Traveler's Wife yesterday. I've been reading a bit here and there for the past few weeks. So it was neat when I woke up one morning last week realizing that I had just dreamt that I myself was a time traveler!! I no longer remember the details, but it was definitely exciting and different. I traveled to the future as well as the past. I hope I have another of those dreams.


    If my older self was to visit the current me, I wonder what she would say to me. I wonder what life would be like in a few years. Will I still be working where I am now? Will I have children? Where would we be living? "Time will tell." Sometimes I love that phrase, sometimes I'm not so fond.

    I'd love to go back in time and visit my Grandma in Taiwan. Or pop in on Sam as a young child. And then one day he'd tell me about how he met me when he was small and how we were meant to be together. Haha. I'd love to attend my Parents' wedding. See how they grew up in their different homes...


    Anyway, it was an interesting read. Onto the next book: The Memory Keeper's Daughter. I saw it at Wal-Mart a couple weeks ago and it looked interesting. But I didn't want to pay so much for it. Imagine my surprise when I found the same book in great condition at our annual book fair at work last week! I only paid $2! Score!

    Happy Thanksgiving week, everyone! turkey Gobble gobble!


  • My friend was telling me about her nightmare evening yesterday. It amazes me the degree of bitterness/jealousy that some people can harbor in their hearts... only to be brought out with alcohol or when no one's looking. True Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde story. SCARY!


    I'm so disturbed every time I think about it. Total 180. Friend to foe.


    Can you imagine if we all went around being 100% truthful to each other all day long? No softening of words, no tact, no time to think things through, just plain this-is-how-I-feel-right-now. Whoo... that would be very scary.


    This is not a post to promote lying by any means. Rather to filter our thoughts from brain to mouth and to have tact. And to not sweep things under the carpet; a volcano waiting to happen. All easier said than done... but definitely worth all the good relationships we want to keep.


  • Angry post of the week:


    Sometimes I just want to give up.
    Work can really suck the life right out of you.
    Especially when management knows yet they don't do a thing about it...
    Or just taking their sweet time... but why?


    No wonder everyone is jumping/want to jump ship.


    To self: It's just work. It's just work.


    Thank God It's Friday! He knows just how much I can handle.
    And this is it.


    3pm, you can't come soon enough.

  •  Aaahhhhh... lasagna on white pants! I hope it doesn't stain.

    Spill anything on yourself lately?


  • Sam called to tell me some big news:

    Britney Spears filed for divorce. I think we all saw it coming... so sad.
    Why did they have to have children together?


  • What's for breakfast:


    apollo chocolate  meiji


    I love these things. Had my first taste at the Hong Kong airport from a gift shop last year. Very addictive.
    They're so small that you just keep popping them in your mouth.
    Luckily (or unluckily) there is a little Japanese market by our place that carries all these novelty items.
    Oh no, the tube is all gone!


    What's for snack:


    cheez-it

    I don't eat so healthy when I work from home...


    Looking forward to:


    1. Watching "Days of Our Lives" during my lunch break.
    2. Getting off work at 3! YAY!
    3. Going for a walk after I go vote in my neighbor's garage.
    4. Watching "She's the Man" when I get back!!

  • Hi peoples, don't forget to go vote tomorrow, Tuesday!! I used to not care about any of this politics stuff but shortly after I started working and noticed that my hard-earned money goes towards these things that I get to have a say in... it only made sense to voice my opinion. It really does directly affect things around us, not just for us but for our kids, too.


    I didn't care at all about politics till Sam came along. I still don't know much, but he opened my eyes to how much it affects me personally.


    Speaking of the man, he is rather sweet. Last year, my Mom volunteered to be a polling place worker at my elementary school. He thought she'd be hungry or thirsty or needed a break so he brought her some goodies to eat. Isn't that nice?

    It was his birthday yesterday. 40+ old and new friends contributed to his birthday card/book by each writing a birthday wish/memory/appreciation note. He's got wonderful friends... I'm so touched reading them. He's quite an extraordinary person... and unusual, too. This is the cover of the finished product! Haha, see if you might understand why the pictures of those 3 doggies. Hehehe...

  • This time last year, 3 girlfriends and I were in Hong Kong. (How I need another vacation.) I also brought along Flat Sam.


    But now he is...


    MISSING

    Have you seen him?


    The real Sam thinks that we will never see him again. How sad.
