Everyday Beauty (January ’15 edition)

February 13, 2015

“The wonder of life is often most easily recognizable through habits and routines.” – Anne Lamott These days I’m more inspired by everyday moments with friends and loved ones than I am by grandiose landscapes and exotic places.

An anniversary to remember

November 30, 2014

December 1st marks the one year anniversary of our destination wedding in Boracay Philippines.  It was one of the craziest days of our lives.  The groom barely made it in time for his own wedding after being stranded in Bangkok and Hong Kong for three days due to a not-valid-for-long-enough passport. I lost three pounds and […]

Despite her aloofness, […]

We found every excuse to get in the car and just ride. I remember weekly trips to Mackay’s Ice Cream in Cochraine after Sunday […]

It’s a Family Thing

April 10, 2011

I can’t believe it but I think my little brother has suddenly turned into a man. We went to Stanford and took photos today and wow, I can’t believe how grown up he looks. I think he’s quite handsome (of course, you could say I’m a little biased).

Matters of the Heart

November 9, 2010

I’ve said before that during times of great pain or great joy, I struggle to find words to write. Extreme emotions just can’t be captured in words. After weeks of roller coaster ups and downs, I’ve finally found a voice again. In mid October, during a bowling party with work colleagues, my Mom suffered a […]
