Birdies

Temple City
June 2007
Guest photoist: Jason H. (He's only 9!)

I love the various shades of gray mixed with the wispy white clouds. And the birdies are so cute!

Red Cube

Artist: Isamu Noguchi
Lower Manhattan @ Broadway & Liberty
August 2006
Guest photoist: Our NYC co-host (I forgot his name!)

We were walking from Chinatown to NoLIta and we saw this random piece of public art! I love how Nancy and Johnny are always up for taking silly pictures. :P

Silver Fishies

Long Beach Aquarium
November 2006

I like the colors. :)

Rolling up the Prices

Walmart
San Clemente
Spring 2003
Guest photoist: Ben W.

We needed to get supplies for our work retreat and I made him take this picture b/c I thought it was so stupid. I swear we did not mess around with the signs!

Ratatat

Ratatat
Pomona Glass House
April 2007

Yay a half decent night photo without using flash! I like how the doode's silhouette has clear lines but you can still see the outlines of his shadow on the screen.

Sky Scribbles

Looking up from Dickson Court
June 2007

I think someone got hired to sky-scribble a lovey-dovey msg to be shown at APIG...except we couldn't decipher the first part so I just took a photo of the heart. Man some ppl have too much dinero to burn.

I am so taken away by the beauty of this flower.

As the sun sets

Sunset
Fisherman's Wharf

Breathtaking. Click on photo to enlarge.

Jellybeans

Jellybeans dispenser
Fisherman's Wharf
June 2007

This picture is so shiny and colorful! I want a dispenser at home or work. I like jellybeans except they get cemented to my braces. :D Three most random sentences ever.

Ferris Wheel

Canadian National Exhibition
Toronto
August 2005

CNE or "The Ex" as they call it is pretty fun. I want to go back and ride the ferris wheel- Lake Ontario must look gorgeous from up high! Vancouver has its own version, the PNE. I want to go there too! Okay...I need to stop visiting Canada. 5 times is enough already, hehe.

Don't Wear White

Pomegranates
November 2006

They tasted as delicious as they looked. But a word to the wise: don't wear white! Well...wear something that you don't mind getting stained. The juice stains clothing permanently unless you wash with water immediately!

Candid Happiness

USC
Trojan T's ceremony
December 2005
Guest photoist: Camillia L.

Even though the photo came out blurry I still love how happy we all looked! I am super under-dressed b/c I had just come back from the DMV, hehe.

European Booty

Souvenirs
June 2007

Just for shits and giggles, I thought that I'd showcase all the goodies that my parents got me on their recent trip! I was actually kidding when I said that I wanted something from every place, hehe. The only place that they didn't shop at was England b/c everything was freaking expensive. Anyhoo I ended up with: keychain and windmill figurine from Holland, guidebooks of Vienna, Rome, and Salzburg, a pen and puzzle map of the world from Liechtenstein, a fake cuckoo clock and lots and lots and lots of CHOCOLATES from Switzerland, and a photo frame and CROISSANT from Paris (yes my mom wrapped up an honest to goodness croissant for me and brought it back home!) Notice how I am so excited about the edible souvenirs. :P

This was my real gift though:

A Bucherer watch! Omg, it's gorgeous. I can't stop staring at my wrist. I am such a lucky gal!

Happy Red Ribbon Day

Co-worker's chair
February 2007

Too bad the chair is red. Then the red ribbons would have really stood out! Pranks at work are fine as long as no one messes with work files or folders. He got back at us by stuffing shredded newspaper in all our drawers. Weak sauce! Our prank was so much better, hehe.

Kimbap

Kimbap
Evil twin sister's kitchen
May 2007

When I tried kimbap for the first time over a year ago I said, "Ooh Korean sushi!" I know, I'm such a nerd. In the past 2 years I've developed quite a palate for Korean food. Since kimbap is one of my favorites, evil twin sister taught me how to make it! Once you get the technique down, it's quite easy. I like how the colors pop out in this photo.

What to do when it's cold out?

My parents
Hollywood Bowl
September 2005

This picture makes me laugh so much every time I see it! We took my parents to the Hollywood Bowl to watch two Hawaiian artists that I like: Na Leo and Keali'i Reichel. We did not think it was going to be that cold! My parents were thinking of ways to keep warm so they found plastic bags and used them to cover their heads. I guess that's employing some science because I remember learning that the human body loses a percentage of body heat through the head. Anyhoo, I miss my silly parents! They are finally returning from Europe tomorrow, yay! I don't gotta water anymore plants! :P
