Last fall I went on a travel-spree with friends, I guess you can say, I had wanderlust. I had some vacation days, great deals on hotels and all I needed was to pick a place and go. I picked Seattle. I like organizing group trips, creating itineraries and researching places to visit and food to […]

I’m in the home stretch of my pregnancy. 38 weeks and counting this week. I’m still working. Tomorrow was going to be my last day, but I’m still feeling good and my doctor warned that baby might come a week late, so I’ve extended work for a few more days or so. Here are snapshots […]
Baked maple apple oatmeal & HIIT
With family staying with us for the holidays, my usual morning routine has changed. I’m spending more time chatting and catching up in the morning and we are also eating more food than usual. Since I’m not cooking just for myself anymore, one way that I’ve streamlined breakfast is to prep the ingredients the night […]
concert at the zoo
I don’t remember the last time I used my big DSLR camera. I didn’t even bring it on our last family vacation. I want to use it more often though and I thought of the excuses I had that was preventing me from grabbing it….and the biggest gripe I had was that it was too […]

Purple and Yellow Family Party
Rain rain go away. It was raining early this morning but the sun finally came out in the afternoon. I was productive with studying in the afternoon and was very excited to go to a family party afterwards. Tonight we celebrated a very special birthday for my goddaughter Natalie. It special because it marked her […]
{recipe) cashew coconut raisin granola
What I look forward to in September is the renewed attitude towards goals. Maybe it’s just me, but September marks a new beginning whether new routines, new outlook on things or new school year when I was younger. However, we are having a delayed heat wave here in SoCal. We are currently in the hottest […]
