Post Valentine's Day

It was a busy Valentine's day weekend but everything went well and Valentine's day was perfect. I worked half the day- and it was hectic to say the least because of all the last minute V-day shoppers and those who decided that spending V-day at the mall would be "romantic" but afterwards, when i got off of work, me and Nam exchanged gifts.

I got tons of flowers! and no matter what any girls says, flowers are always romantic and i love getting them. I must be old-fashioned but i dont think i could get sick of getting flowers. Anyway, it was our first Valentine's day together so i didn't want to over do it but i also wanted to celebrate the fact that it was our "first" so of course i went the sappy route and poured my heart out onto a card along with a sentimental gift but he was the one who really went the extra mile!

 

He hand-made a card for me!!!  And he cut little green strips of paper out and wrote sweet things on them. That was the most sentimental thing i've ever received from anyone for V-day, on top of the gift he surprised me with later on. He's so sweet to me. 

 

My other bouquet of flowers. They are so pretty!

Reinvented

It's been over a year since i have updated! That's got to be a record breaker or a very sad and lonely blog. Since it's a New Year, 2010 is going to be a year for me to reinvent many aspects of my life and self. And so much of it has inevitably changed and for the better. i am at the happiest point of my life and feeling such gravitation from it i want to choose to live in the present and think positively. And as an addition to this New Year resolution- i also promise to not neglect my blog :)

On another note- its Chinese Lunar New Year!


I have always loved celebrating new years with my family, especially the times we celebrated in China. The celebrations are so extravagant and the food is amazing. When i think of Chinese New Year i always think of the brightly decorated streets and awesome displays back in China. It completely encompasses everything i have a love for- food, family, fun.



Living in the Midwest of the United States makes it easy to miss all these traditions. although my family here try to keep all these traditions alive, it's a whole different experience there. Anyway, i wish my friends and family good health and prosperity!

Hello World!

I'm here and ready to blog about my life to my unknown (at the moment; nonexistent) audience . Actually i created this blog so i can rant my days away! I have no intentions of censoring my thoughts or how they come out because i have free rein here.
But truly, i am a nice young lady, just so happens that i have tons of random thoughts bouncing around in my head that i feel need to be let out! I know what you must be thinking...

"Why don't you go talk to your friends?"
Well, maybe i have no friends. But fortunately for me, i do have friends. Friends that make me laugh and giggle all day- the way i choose to live for all eternity!
But i feel i am more expressive through words that i can type/write out. Besides, blogging is much more fun. And whoever wants to read will have just as much fun, no? yes.

Alright, alright moving on now...
please don't feel free to look for perfect grammar usage and such here. Although i am terrific in English grammar and punctuation, i tend not to use it at its full advantage when i am blogging because WHO CARES? I don't care.

Anyway, you will find that i have tons of pictures to share. Mostly because i have an undying love for photography. Both professional and amateur. I own 6+ cameras of my own and have taken 3 years of photography in the past, I've had my own photography work displayed in art exhibitions but that does not make me a professional nor do i want any one who sees my work to think it. I snap photos of all things. Things that make me happy, sad, weird, tired, confused, angry, excited, scared and so on and so forth. I mostly enjoy the concept of a photo. And the world should learn to love it just as much as i do!

Along with photography, I've dabbled in photo editing as well as graphic design. I am self taught and hope to continue to grow my knowledge and skills at both.

So, these are just a few of my favorite things. Without mention of food, shopping, my dog, my hair, TV, sleep and etc. You will learn more as we go. ;)
