Tagged

I've been tagged by Sally

The rules are:

  • The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
  • Each player answers the questions about themselves.
  • At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

And here's the meme:

Finally cut!



I've been thinking about getting a haircut for awhile now..while we were at the PX, i walked by the salon..so Isaac got a cut and so did I...I was honestly freaked out at first since I get so many bad haircuts! But the final outcome wasn't too bad...what do you think? this is after shower without anything done to it..its kinda hard to see we even tried to use a garbage bag as a trash bag to show it better...its too dark right now..maybe more photos later

california pictures and movies update










Finally, a little time to update the world...so, we had a short getaway to San Jose, CA two weekends ago for a wedding..Dan was asked to be the officiant, which was really neat and an honor to be part of Tram and Tom's big day...it was a traditional Vietnamese wedding with a western twist--Dan as the minister..hahaha..we had a lot of fun and had tons of great food!
The other highlight, for me especially, I got to hang out with my childhood friend, Jessica Yang now Stone and her family. I think last time I saw her, Sofia was just one...and now she is four. It was really nice to catch up..i felt like we never lost touch and was able to just chat and chat..oh, and eat! Yummy Dim Sum, even though Charles says it wasn't the best. Dan and I can't imagine what good dim sum would be then...then, Jess and I ventured to the local bubble tea joint with taiwanese fried chicken...I was heaven..i mean, you get these stuff on the streets of taiwan and here I am having it melt in my mouth!

Isaac and Jed are both good travelers..Isaac slept on a queen size bed all by himself without falling off..and Jed is getting so much more interactive. At one point during the reception, Isaac scoped out a dance partner, ran straight to her and brought her to the dance floor, by himself. It was hilarious for Dan and I to watch! He was very persistent in asking "where's the girl?"
Isaac hit it off with Sofia and Sarah pretty well. They would watch a princess movies together, while Isaac keeps asking Sofia "what happened?" I miss good friends:(
