I’m travelling at the end of the week to Northern California with my sisters, San Francisco to be exact. I am inspired to post these travel pictures from 2011, to dust them off from my computer and finally post them on the blog. My youngest sister Hazel hasn’t visited Big Sur yet, but I’m encouraging […]
Whenever I see a picture of a flower field, it reminds of books I’ve read where people roam along the fields and during simpler times. I don’t see anything like it here in Cali except in Carlsbad. You can see it from the freeway and very hard to miss, especially during spring season. Although Carlsbad’s […]
I do a lot of thinking in my car during my commute to work. I thought one day that I need to intentionally seek out adventures. I need to plan ahead, need to plan fun trips and need to take some time off. I am ready to take on new adventures. Actually, I’ve been […]
We had a lot of weddings in our calendar this year. I was really excited for the summer weddings by the beach. In July, we drove north along the coast to Santa Barbara. This was the first beach wedding we attended since our own beach wedding last year. Lots of great memories flooded our minds […]
The next stop during our fun road trip along the scenic California coast was Big Sur. I’ve heard so many great things about Big Sur, about the great views one will find and the active community that lives in this coastal town. I’ve also read about Big Sur from other blogs that I follow. Our […]

My family is in the midst of preparations in welcoming the New Year. Every year as the new year approaches, part of our tradition is to have an assortment of fruits in the house. 13 variety of fruits to be exact. Having 13 different kinds of round fruits during New Year’s Eve is said to […]
Hello friends, I hope you are enjoying the start of your Easter Weekend. Color explosion! It makes me happy. It’s Spring Break season and a time to take a little time off to enjoy some rest and relaxation. We spent some family time in Las Vegas this week. My mother-in-law celebrated her birthday in Vegas […]
Hello 2021! Dusting off this good ole’ blog and hoping to document consistently on here again. A lot of life changes coming up in 2021 (…and what a year 2020 was!!!) and even though my preferred way to document life right now is thru Instagram, I want to write more on here too. I want […]
Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld (4/5 stars) This is a re-telling of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and has been updated for the modern times, including a reality TV show mixed in. I think I would have still enjoyed the story even if it wasn’t an adaptation. This classic gets adapted often, but this is the […]
This weekend we celebrated my niece’s 3rd birthday. My niece Jazaleia (Jazzy for short) is my only niece and the only grandchild. She is the cutest and most adorable little girl and all her Aunties spoils her with attention. I love spending time with her. She’s at that age where you can have a […]
It’s a jolly Monday around here, my stiff neck is gone and my perky attitude is back. After sleeping pillow-less on Friday night, it felt so much better on Saturday morning. It’s a new day and a new week, one day closer to our wedding 🙂 I greeted the day with delicious and thick pancakes. […]
I take a lot of pictures when I travel. I want to capture every moment so I can remember it and have it live forever in pictures. Last week when we had a heat wave in L.A., I reminisced of a place where if felt like fall. The pictures I shared had fall stamped in each one […]
Thank you to California Grown for encouraging me to connect with California growers and encouraging California consumers to “Choose California Grown” when they can. I buy most of our produce from our local farmers market. Ever since I’ve made an effort to buy locally, I’ve gained knowledge of the different seasonal items that are available […]
