Picture of the Day

Greg and me...

Cha's foolishness

Alright, Cha discovered how to put together pictures with music and stuff, and after this very important home meeting we were having, all our skypes pop up with THESE! Actually the meeting wasn't quite done, so I had a very hard time trying to stifle my laughs. Anyhow, she's such a princess....yeah. hahahah!!
Good luck on the baking Joe and Lixy!


ummm after the credits of this one is just the music, so you don't have to worry about seeing something random at the end.

Me and my Family

Hi... I know I've been a boring person...I've been forgetting about this little blog here. So I'll pretty much answer the question eeeverybody asks when I start talking to them. "What have you been up to?" AH! Good question. I can't really give an answer that you will "oo and ahh" over. Life has been interesting, it's had its ups and downs that I can't really tell you about. I suppose change is always good. No, I KNOW change is good! Who wants to do the same old same old all your life? hehe. But I've been happy and healthy, and I can't complain in the least bit because...






I have great, cool, and wonderful parents!!






My awesome, not to mention pretty, sisters that I probably couldn't live without. And the cutest nephew that I will love forever and ever amen.







A silly brother to chillax with and share our deepest darkest secrets *cough* when he's home *cough* haha










And I can't forget the brother-in-law that jumped into our lives 7 years ago and who I'm always picking fights with. haha good days good days. ;)








And aaall the little ones who give me the opportunity to practice.... reaally really practice... patience. teehee! But I have a great family--yes I do.




Kay enough mushiness, here are some photos. Lixy edited them... 'cept for the third one.
love ya!














P.S. We're gonna start this new workout program, I'm gonna get super fit. Just you wait.

Sled Dog Race

This is from last week, we went to watch this sled dog race. 50 miles. ;) It was a good experience I suppose, the dogs were adorable! I want one.





Here are some pictures:


























The boys did some racing too. They didn't win, but they each got $5.




Willy got a lazy dog and he trotted the whole way through.









Brian got old dogs and they trotted too.









But Chris got the fast ones. yay



I don't think they were too happy about it--but I was. ;)

Nephew-ness

So I'm really discouraged that my camera is broken. Anyway, I finally admitted that it's broken and put the xd card in to check out the last photos.. and THIS is what I found.



Oh My God. No wonder my poor camera broke. teehee.







I don't know what Cha is doing to her son, but all I can do is pray for them and know that Jason will be okay when he grows up. lol.












It's just so funny, yet ugly, yet cute. I don't know how to explain it. The poor boy didn't know what everyone was laughing about. I know that some of you who don't care for cute little kids will just be like, "aw, not another Jason post." But these are for the aunties and uncles and those who DO like kids.

These two Jason videos are a bit long and boring, but there are some really good parts in it.

The first one is of Jason trying to talk, he even blows kisses. So skip to where Cha is holding him. Yes? yes!
The second one is of Jason playing hockey. You can hear him saying "ball" and it's cute.



I also found this:
Special auntie and Jason bonding time. It's old but it's precious so I'll post it.








Goodnight. xoxo

To Mari...

My most special, best, awesome, cool, crazy, silly, friend Mazzerz...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
17, I know it's not the same as turning 16, or 18, but still... I can't believe how fast time has passed. It seems like just a while ago you guys came over to our house. Then I was all embarrassed, asking your Mom for "Marri" and her not knowing who the heck I was talking about.








Then I remember you and Cha getting along so well.... I would get so jealous because you guys would walk on the tiny sidewalk and I'd try to fit beside you but the cars would start honking cause I'd get in the way. *sigh* poor len len.









But you were always my friend, no matter how dorky or weird I was. And you ended up becoming my very own bff! We always had fun no matter what, whether it was going for noodle pickups, sitting in the park and cloud gazing, giving massages, taking purris, going to the daiso, karaoke, baskin robin dates, telling scary stories, and the list goes on.













You always know when there's something wrong or I'm feeling down. And you also know how to make me laugh again. You always have some wise words to say that always seem to amaze me.
Time, places, people, may change, but those times we spent together are some things that I will never forget. You will always be my best friend, and I will always keep you close to my heart. We may not be able to communicate as much as before, but you're still the only one who I can share some things with, who already knows everything so I don't have to explain the whole history. Who shares and understands my frustrations.














So thank you Mari, for being pretty much the greatest. I don't know what my life would be without you. You complete me. I hope this year brings many fulfillments and blessings your way. I'm also waiting for you to visit me in the summer, so be sure to come. I love you Mari. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

I found this

It's something Mari and I wrote aaages ago. We were playing this poetry game, we both had a paper and wrote two lines. We folded the lines over and switched papers, telling the person the last word so they can rhyme with it. The result was kinda interesting and I thought I'd share with you. Maz was being all poetic-like, and I... was being foolish. Sorry I ruined the groove. lol!

Mari: The clock is ticking on my wall,
that much time is lost,
Elena: You never carry me when I fall,
or find me when I'm lost,

Tainted innocence with broken hope,
Sunshine lost and cloudy dreams,
Words were harsh and my poor heart broke,
it's worse than it may seem,

fractured memory and dusty thoughts,
haunted dreams and empty beds,
everything's dirty I need a mop,
To wipe up my heart--and wet eyes that are red.

I know that I'm gonna write a whole 'nother post about Mari soon, but I couldn't wait to post this. This and some other things brought back so many fond memories. Anyway, I miss "us."
