Our Little House

When I was little, I often asked my mom for a baby sister. I wanted someone to play Barbie with =) My wishes did come true. However, it was a little bit too late. When I finally got a baby sister, I was already 9 years old. Hence, when she was at "playing Barbie" stage, I was already a teenager. We never really played together =P  Still, I was very happy to get a little sister. Moreover, she was a pretty baby. When she was 2 or 3 months old, she got really sick. She had to stay in the hospital for a month! I was scared and sad. I remember how I used to cry every time I saw any baby-related TV commercial. I was afraid to lose this pretty little sister. Miraculously, she was healed and healthy again. This pretty little baby soon grew into a witty, strong-willed, loyal, and caring girl. And I love her ... Even though we never really played Barbie together, we are really close. Well... of course there were also times when we fight. Who doesn't? =P We were never able t...

Hello everyone! Today I just wanted to share pictures from my first pumpkin patch experience. Last Saturday, my friends and I went to Uesugi Farm in San Martin. The pumpkin patch was quite big. It was surrounded by corn fields. I believe they also have a corn maze. Too bad when we visited, we didn't have a chance to try it. Anyway, as I've mentioned in my earlier post, I think Fall is the prettiest season. This pumpkin patch visit proves my point. You can see a lot of beautiful fall color palette from these pictures =) Pumpkin Pyramid Pumpkin comes in different size and shape. They have curious names too. My favorite is the Cinderella =) Apparently, the small ones are called munchkins. These munchkins are so cute, I was almost tempted to buy them =P Besides pumpkin, we also saw some unique vegetable like this turban squash. And... weird colorful corns. On the left are a bunch of Strawberry Corns. It was short and plump like a strawberry.  On the oth...

Hi everyone, aren't you excited for weekend? =D Anyway ... I decided to upload a very late post =P This is a post from August, a week or so before my birthday. It had been waiting patiently in my draft folder ... while I focused on writing my theme park stories . Enjoy! -- A week ago, I received email from Sephora saying that they've prepared a special birthday gift for me. What I need to do is just purchase anything from them. There is no minimum purchase amount. Incidentally, I need to buy a new Clinique Superpowder Double Face Makeup since mine is already running low. I like the Superpowder Double Face Makeup because it has both face powder and foundation. Additionally, I was also looking for a good powder blush. Seems like a perfect time to go on a makeup shopping spree right? =P So, I asked my friend, Amadea, to accompany me. She is pretty knowledgeable about makeup, as you can see from her blog . She is also the one who gave me this nice makeup brushes set for grad...

Welcoming October!  Last weekend we had a double date with our friends, Miss Kristani and her bf, at San Francisco. At first, we were worried that the traffic would be super bad since Oracle Open World 2012 was about to begin. Turned out we were wrong. To our relief, there wasn't much traffic that day.  We departed from San Jose around 2.30PM. We took 280 North straight to Baker Beach. Unfortunately, the weather was unfriendly that day. It was cold and misty. We couldn't see Golden Gate from the beach since it was covered with mist. The only visible parts of the famous bridge were its feet, as you can see in this picture below. Baker Beach It was so cold that day. Plus, the wind was blowing pretty hard. We couldn't stay long in the beach. We decided to head to somewhere warmer - Japan Town.  I always like visiting Japan Town. I haven't had the chance to visit during festivals tho'.  Once arrived at Japan Town, we went straight to get snacks =) Our favo...
