Last night I made Lo-mien, and the only vegetables I used were onions. I even used scallions (green onions) to garnish my onion Lo-Mien. I totally forgot to take a photo of my Lo-mien to show you. By the time I remembered it, I ate it all.

I love ALL and every kinds of onions. Any dishes I make has to have onions. If the dish doesn’t go with onions, then I’ll garnish it with green onions.

Rest in Peace Michael.

As refugees, he was the very first artist we listened to upon arriving in America.

I bought my house last August. It initially had light yellowish walls, but we painted it purple. And, now… we are re-painting it to a lighter color, cause many people including my boyfriend says it makes the room look smaller. I’m a little sad cause I lived with with purple walls for almost a year.

goodbye purple walls… thanks for a great year.

I graduated from High School.  Got my first computer; it was a Packard Bell.   My Mom bought our first house.  Titanic, the highest grossing film of all times premiered in theaters. 39 people decided to commit sucide in their california mansion. The Hale Bop comet lingered in the skies. President Clintion is due for a second term. Princess Diana dies.

It was a very busy year. I was fascinated with everything that happened that year.

to my father who created me, to my father who gave me life, and to my father who gave me a better life.

Love you all.

Everyone was moody and hot from the weather on this day, until…….. our visit to Thai City restaurant. Papaya Salad Thai style, Chicken Wings, White Rice, Mango/Coconut rice desert and Lao/Thai iced coffee (O-Lieng). 

Everyone was happy after that!!!

I love these ladies, both the actresses and the characters. This show has all the elements of one of the best shows in history. It has a wicked humor and a wittiness to it, that even though I saw EVERY episodes, I still laugh as if  it was my first time watching. On top of the laughs, I also cry. This show has a lot of life’s lessons and sad moments.

Till this day, I still watch the re-runs every single day with my 3 year old. She loves them as much as I do.

The Golden Girls is also very sentimental to me. It was pretty much my friend when I had none. It helped me get through the day when that day wasn’t so welcoming. I was very sad to learn that Estelle Getty, “Sophia” and Bea Arthur, “Dorothy” passed on.

May both ladies rest in peace. And I wish good health and happiness for the surviving ladies.

 When driving home today, I saw a big  land turtle crossing the road from the lake. It was rush hour, so the cars were coming pretty quick. I kept an eye on him and kept praying that he’d cross the road safely, but in a split second, that turtle was ran over. There was a loud crushing sound that made me cringe. His shell, guts, and blood splatter all over the road. After witnessing the turtle being killed, I couldn’t help, but tear up because he was trying so hard to cross that road… and just when he was about to reach the other side, his life was taken away in a matter of seconds. It reminds me of how life is. No matter how hard you try and how far you go, life can be taken away in a flash. This is a reminder of how precious life is. The only comfort is knowng that he probably died instantly. Poor turtle.
