My Son's 2nd Birthday, and his Birthday Cake


So it was my son's 2nd birthday last week.
We didn't have a party since we have just moved here but we did things he likes.

We went to park, went to Chuck E Cheese, Toys store...

My son was happy. That's what really want for his birthday.

I bought him bristle blocks, table with bench, boots, Diego stickers etc..
He would not mind not having so many presents though. He is just 2! hahaha

We came home, we had dinner and his birthday cake.
He got so excited when he looked at this cake. I made it for him.
He took some animal toys off from this cake and at just a bite of the cake!!
That's OK. Your parents are going to eat them...

I can't believe my baby is 2.
He is a trouble sometimes, but oh I love him so much.
I am so thankful that I have him as my baby.

Anniversary


My husband and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary this month.

All I can say is that Marriage is not the end of the story, Marriage is the beginning of the story.
Marriage is something we need to work on.

Every Marriage is different, ours has been challenging from the beginning.

But here we are, we have a beautiful son who definitely makes our life colorful and meaningful.

Love is for sure PATIENT.
BUT FOREVER... FOREVER. That is strong.

essie "buy me a cameo"


I wanted to buy something taupe.
When I looked this color on http://www.essieshop.com/ I thought it was more brownish.
It is actually more pinkish than the image on the website.

Well, I didn't know if I like this color.
1 coat really doesn't give strong color so I put 2 coats on my nails.
I still didn't know if I like it.
Then next day, when I looked at my nails,  they were pearly and neat.
Elegant Color.

Just need to tell you that this color does not last so long so you need to put topcoat on them.

It is unique color but I like it now.

Nail polish is tricky.
You never know if you like it until you put it on your nails.

Avocado Sushi Roll


Sometimes, I just have to have Sushi.
I was really craving for Sushi so I made rolls at home.
Although I didn't have any Sashimi to roll, it was still gooooood.

I rolled cucumbers so it is crunchy inside.
On the top of the roll, I put sliced avocado and some mayonnaise.

Here are things you need to make this roll...

Steamed Rice ( I use Sushi Rice.)
Sushi Vinegar
Seaweed paper ( Nori )
Cucumbers ( Slice in half lengthwise, then cut into long strips )
Avocado 2 or more sliced

On sushi roll mat, put plastic wrap on.
Then put thin layer of Sushi-Rice on the mat.
Put cucumbers on the edge of the rice layer then roll.
Slice your sushi then put avocado on it.

In the ziploc, put some mayonnaise in it.
cut the corner( Tiny tiny cut ) then squeeze on the sushi.

You can mix Wasabi with Mayonnaise. It is good that way.

See, making Sushi Rolls is not difficult at all.

Guilty MAX drink? Naaa


If you read the label, you already know.
Yes, I like to add EXTRA something to my drink.

This time, EX Caramel.
It is IN SANENESS!
The extra caramel sauce on the ice comes down later.

JUST REMEMBER,

I ordered "TALL" size not GRANDE. ( I am so proud myself. )

Although when I order Passion Tea Lemonade ( with EXTRA lemonade, sweetened ), I do order Venti. It's a TEA, right? or should I say that's lemonade...
Anyways, I really like to taste the flavor that's why I add extra something.
If I really want good coffee, I add a shot.
See? I don't just have a sweet tooth.

It may add extra calories but I really don't calculate calories.
I always order my latte with whole milk or soy because I care "TASTE" than calories.
Chai Tea with Soy? It is very good.

No Guilt. I just enjoy my moment.

MUST WATCH

image from Amazon.com

I like Ben Stiller. I think he is FUNNY although almost every time I see him, I see his father in him.
This movie is HYSTERICAL and painful at the same time.
Have you ever watched his "Duplex"? This movie is NOT that painful though.

Jennifer Aniston, I think she is naturally beautiful.
I love her makeup. I like her taste.
She was so cute in this movie.
I liked her movie "Marley and Me" and I really loved that movie.
Q, How can she keep her body shape???

I did not expect to laugh that much but I did LAUGH so much.
This movie is one of those "MUST WATCH" "MUST OWN" movie.

I just realized... Ben stiller does have scenes in the bathroom in many of his movie.
There's something about Mary, Meet the Parents,

I don't own this movie, but I will get it soon.

Ben Stiller's "Little Fockers" will be release in Dec 2010.
