Southern tip of Taiwan. Our last road trip through the West coast of United States seemed like forever ago. This time, we are driving 2 cars with mom, dad, Tony, Kelly, aunt, grandma, and aunt’s friend (who she is opening the vegetarian restaurant with). We drove from KaoXiong down to KenTing and we are staying …

I love how beautiful the State of Washington is. I am in constant awe of Mt. Rainier as the backdrop on the horizon. It has been super cold these few days, the temperature has barely rise above freezing. My impending trip to Taiwan is going to rescue me from this cold front, and thinking back, …
My fingers have been itching to make something lately, so I found this rug pattern on Pinterest (link down below) and made a prototype A on my own and a prototype B according to the instruction. The yarn called to make this rug is called the Zpagetti (t-shirt yarn) and they are SO EXPENSIVE! I …
Daisy, as in Daisy Buchanan, the infamous character in The Great Gastby created by F. Scott Fitzgerald and recently portrayed by Carey Mullidan in the Baz Luhrmann version of the movie. We watched this movie recently rented from Redbox, despite of my insistence of watching this particular movie in the theater on the big screen, …
We have been battling to decide whether or not to get an actual Christmas tree in our apartment. I am the strong supporter of getting a live tree for our first Christmas together as a family to establish our own traditions and also because there’s just really nothing like a real Christmas tree to get …
Life has been uneventful for the past few months until it isn’t. We keep getting bad news and worse news, so there’s a constant gloom hanging over us. My brother’s congenital disease and death of my aunt. Sometimes glimpses of happiness gleamed through the clouds of tragedies, the ephemeral shining lights reminding us that there …
I’ve gotten some really bad news today when I was walking around in Costco with Ri looking for brown sugar. Ri and I were in the midst of an argument about how to go about cutting down our monthly spending since the night before. Many proposals were discussed and opinions exchanged quite irrationally because I …
For our November mini vacation we ventured deep into the Olympic Pennisula to Lake Quinault. This is a Native American lake nestled on the foothill of the Olympic National Park and its glorious Olympic National Forest. The lake receives its main inflow of water from the Quinault River with the surface elevation of 190 feet. …
Day 13-14 Mt. Shasta, CA -> Astoria, OR -> Seattle, WA As the adventure comes to the end, we traveled northward to Oregon on US-101 along the beautiful Northwest coastline. We stopped several viewpoints along the highway, and thankfully the weather was more than cooperating. We stopped by the Nelscott Beach to enjoy the sun, …
This post is not about the little green man, but it’s about we finally got our permanent resident card! :D After 6+ months of waiting, I am no longer an alien, and no longer have to worry about being deported, hahaha! *victory dance all around* However joyous we were about moving on with next …
Let me just start by saying I’m probably the most spoiled wife/daughter/friend ever existed on planet Earth. My husband made the entire month of August Selina’s birthday month. :) Ri has waited until this month to get me a new phone and ‘coincidentally’ my 5.5 years old laptop had decided to die on me, so …
