  • July 4th weekend

    Kakka.. it's been 2 weeks since the July 4th weekend.. ya.. I know! I am late! Life has too much going on, n i m just too busy n lazy to write a blog.

    Last July 4th long weekend, honey n I went to Carmel/Monterey for getaway. On our way to Carmel, we saw nice sunny weather at Monterey beach. We couldn't believe that it's so cloudy n chilly when we got to Carmel beach, which is like a few miles away from Monterey. Well, since our plan was quite flexible, we first went to the Carmel Mission Church. It's a very nice and neat church. I love the decoration and the atmosphere there.

    We then went to have lunch at Dametra Cafe, a Mediterranean restaurant that I found on Yelp beforehand. I love this place n the food here. Yum YUM!!!!!

    After lunch we walked around downtown Carmel and then to a beach --> our purpose of this trip. Instead of going to the COLD Carmel beach, we went to the Monterey Beach. It's very nice there, cool n sunny! We almost fell asleep at the beach~~ heheheh

    The next day, we got up very late n then had lunch at Monterey Fisherman Wharf. We had a seafood feast! Got my favorite halibut n my honey's favorite lobster. They named the lobster dish "the treasure of the sea". After walking around the Fisherman Wharf, we then headed home. Happy & relaxed.

  • chapped lips??

    I have chapped lips problem from time to time, especially after I came to the USA. Drinking water will help a little bit, but my lips get dry very soon after I drink water. I tried putting on different lip conditioners, but none of them solved my problem completely. I particularly have problems with my "lip corners". Recently I tried Aquaphor healing ointment. To my surprise, it worked so well! My lip corner was cracked and it hurt when I laughed. However, the drying n cracking conditions were relieved in about 30min to an hr after I applied the ointment. After applying for 2 times in a day, my lip cracking problem was soooo much improved. Amazing!!! Give it a try if you have chapped or cracked lips problem.

  • Curiosity

    I just wonder why many people like to ask others about their personal stuffs, for these personal stuffs have NOTHING to do with these people. I understand some people just wanna show their concern, but there are definitely people who just ask out of curiosity. Some even keep asking & asking until they got their answers. Even for those who are really caring, if others do not respond to the questions, why keep asking?? May be they just don't wanna talk about it or just don't feel like telling others.

    How do you tell if someone is just caring?? All they ask will be something like "Is everything ok?" and that's it. If one wants to share, s/he will tell more without being asked.

  • Chinese Family Ties

    Recently I re-watched a chinese tv drama... which kinda resonated with my thought of my parents..

    I am not sure about American culture, but for chinese, family always comes first, as people always say "Blood is thicker than water." As a chinese, I find it very true. Members in chinese familes are caring, forgivng, and sharing to each other. Since I was small, I was taught that our family always came first. Like my mom said, we cannot choose our family members.. we are connected by fate or "yun" in chinese. There are bonds and ties among us. I will never forget what my mom said, that family is always here for you and will never betray you or do harm to you. This is very true, at least, to me.

    Chinese families value education a lot. Parents usually try their best to support their kids' education, without asking for any return. Their worries never ends. After kids' graduation, the parents worry about their kids' jobs, health, and future. All I wanna say is that chinese parents, at least, my parents, have been striving throughout their lives to love their kids... I do feel it. I love my family, and no matter how far we are apart, we are still in ONE.

    My mom said to me last nite, "you are our everything."

  • 得與失

    當你以為失去一樣很重要既野, 好似世界沒日既時候,
    你會發現, 你得到既更多...
    又或者, 你一直都擁有哩D咁珍貴既野,
    只係當你失去一D野既時候,
    你先至發覺---幸福一直係你身邊

  • Dream vs Reality

    This morning, I had a bad dream.. probably becos I had been stressed & worried over last couple of weeks. At the end of a series of stressful events in the dream, I saw I was separated from him.. geez.. I felt like it's end of the world in the dream.... after I woke up, I called him and cried.. Poor him.. he had to console me for no reason at 2am in Korea... hehehehe

  • Audience

    Do you have a particular person or group of people whom you would talk to regarding certain things in your mind??? For sure, you talk about some casual stuffs to some who-so-ever ppl around you... but do you realize that you may not tell everything in the bottom of your heart to every close frds/people around you???

    Dont you think it's funny/ weird that you just can't tell/talk about EVERYTHING to the people who are supposed to be closest to you? You may instead discuss your most private/personal issues with some other close frds but just not the closest ones...

    Do you have different audience for different daily issues??? Or it is just ME~

  • 8 Years

    A few days ago, I realized that I forgot an important day, July 08. 07-08-09 is actually my 8th anniversary of stay in the United States. Time flies! I can't imagine how I passed all those boring days, hard days, n sad days I had all these years. Yet, I am thankful to God, my family, Wai tse tse, n my friends for giving me the chance and helping me to grow~ Without them, I would not become this ME today. I realized that I was inconsiderate and naive at the beginning (well I was still small back then??? ). I really need to thank my parents n Wai tse tse for their care and kindness. I love you~

    I used to rmb this important day every year... I never thought of missing out this day.. hmmm... hehe probably life is just the same every day that I forgot... or probably, my honey made me forget the day.. kakka

    hmmm.. How long am I gonna stay in the United States?? I really have no clue... maybe as long as I can stay?? This is the question that bothers me once in while, n I just try not to think about it...
