2009 Taiwan Trip — gift of friendship

As I write this post, I look at the picture on the right, and I can’t help to smile.
The beautiful lady next to me is my long-time, great friend, Erin.
She and I go way back, to our carefree years in junior high school. We were classmates and good friends. After I moved to the U.S., [...]

My bridal shower

Sometimes I think I am a difficult person to be friend with, because I disappear when I am busy, and that is like 340 days out of a year. Sadly, there’s no exaggeration there.
But during my last weekend of singlehood, the most fabulous girls in the world showered me with love, warm wishes, and awesome [...]

One month count down!!!

Here’s me modeling Erin’s bridesmaid dress for my wedding.
Erin is my bestfriend, and the longest friendship I’ve ever had (since age 13). She lives in Taiwan, but for my wedding, she saved her year-long of vacation days in order to travel to U.S., to be here for me on the most important day [...]

Food therapy

Last Wednesday, with much anticipation, I went to pick up my wedding invitations after work only to find out that the product doesn’t match the sample, the colors were wrong, the ink turned out too pale, and the envelopes came in in wrong color too. The invitation itself looked by far too gloomy because of [...]

Facebook

Facebookis quite a awesome modern invention. Well, it’s not actually original, because prior to it’s emergence came friendster, hi5, linkedin, myspace…etc. But it seems to be the most popular of it all nowadays. It’s also the only networking site that I’ve really used.
I can’t recall what prompted me to sign up for an account, but I am [...]

It all worked out at the end

The banquet that I didn’t want to go initially turned out really, really well! I had a awesome time!
Why didn’t I want to go? Well, because I am one of the leaders in the group that hosts the banquet, but I didn’t do much for the banquet although it was the biggest event of the [...]

Get together

While John is on a heroic adventure to Yosemite National Park, I met up with Pamela and Amanda, and I am so proud of myself!
Why? Well, all of my friends know that I am always busy, and hard to get a hold of a lot of times. Initially, people would invite me to their gatherings, but now [...]

Jenny’s bachelorette party

My friend Jenny is getting married in two weeks. After that, the newly-wed will move to Wyoming, where they both will start their new jobs.
We used to spend a lot of time together, but after her wedding, I obviously won’t be seeing her, unless during her future bi-yearly trips to California she happens to have [...]

Endings and beginnings

Two weekends ago, a group of us, all core members of a non-profit volunteer organization, got together in Las Vegas for a retreat. By retreat we meant a whole day of meeting, and only head out for food and for some fun after all businesses are done. We stayed at John’s condo. It was so very nice of him to [...]

I am SO lucky!

I’ve been keeping up with my promises to meet up with friends. Yeah, I cancelled plans with several of them multiple times before because I was too busy, but, although it took a while, at least now I am making good progress to meet up with them.
Two weeks ago, I met up with Ray for ramen [...]
