words, images, life
Surrounded by this kind of gorgeous water, and enjoyed snorkeling 2-3 times a day, it didn’t take us too long to decide that we want to get certified in scuba diving. There’s a Dive Center on our resort island that offered full-service diving package with lessons given by multi-lingual instructors. It was all very convenient.
To get [...]
The story goes like this. The resort publishes a newsletter everyday, containing news of what’s going on on the island. I believe it was our first night there, there’s a heading in the newsletter that read “Come be the guests of Mr. & Mrs. Miyake”. It turns out that there was a “traditional Maldivian-style” wedding next [...]
This is going to be a picture intense, show and tell entry, because there’s that much good stuff to see.
May 30th marked our first day in Maldives. We woke up early that morning to catch the ferry to the airport island, then to the domestic airport for an seaplane to our resort island. The domestic [...]
One thing that I neglected to write about last winter was my ski trips. I love to ski and am always looking forward to the winter to glide down from snowcapped mountain peaks. Last winter, not only did I make a record-breaking 7 ski trips, I also influenced John enough that he not only tried [...]
I might be smilling in this picture, but in actuality I was somewhat cranky because I didn’t get any sleep the night before. Strong wind kept me up all night long, and it was still quite strong when we took this picture. Before we left the campsite we carefully anchored our tent with our heavier [...]
A couple of weeks ago, my brother and I went on fishing trip with a couple of friends. It was a much-anticipated trip, because it was my very first real fishing experience! Hehe, I am always up for trying something new.
The trip actually took more than a month to arrange among just several people, mostly [...]
I woke up very, very happy today, because I am flying out to Las Vegas to meet with John this evening, then we’ll go camping in Zion National Park for the weekend!
Both of us have been dying for a getaway trip, and what can beat a weekend out in the nature? Supposedly, during this time [...]
Happiness is…
Being a kid for a whole day in the happiest place on earth …
Taking our friends on rides and not caring about what others think…
Listening to uplifting music…
Indulging in cotton candy…
Enjoying the parade and firework…
Riding carousel horses for the first time in decades…
ON A MONDAY!!!
Last Saturday, John’s brother offered us two tickets to see LA Clippers v.s. Minnesota Timberwolves at the Staples Center. It came as a pleasant surprise in the afternoon because originally, we were just going to have a quiet evening.
That was my 4th time going to Staples Center for a basketball game, but it was the first time that [...]
2007 came and went way too fast. Before I am fully ready, here comes the horizon of 2008. Reflecting on the year passed, it sees as if I’ve lead two different lives — a horrible one for the first half, then a much happier one for the second half. There were too much unpleasant ups [...]
