An Hour Goes By So Fast on the Weekend

Have you ever felt like weekdays goes by so slow and weekends goes too fast? The only explanation I think,weekends seems to whizz by so quickly because you’re actually doing something you enjoy.It seems to me while you are working, working hours feels like an eternity. It always takes too long to pass that 6+ hours a day at work. While at home, time goes so fast, and 24 hours a day at home seems not enough for me. Don’t you feel the same? Anyways ,my weekend was filled up with Ikea shopping,house chores,friends came over and we hung out~ today,we went to pick up our friends’ sister from the airport and wrapped up our weekend with great conversations,watching movies,drinking and eating.How was yours?


Just For Fun~What Kind of Musical Instrument Are You?!

So What’s yours?Take this poll and let us know why do you think you resemble that certain instrument.Refer to this site for more music instruments! Have fun!

Blogger To WordPress Switch

So I am officially a WordPresser!…YES…I’ve done the switch, so let me tell you it was easy. WP can import straight from Blogger. I just made a switch today and I am kinda liking this switch (crossing my fingers).The only main thing that made me switch is WP’s mobile app that  let you easily update and manage your blog from an optimized smartphone user interface. You can easily create new posts, add media, manage comments, and more.

I signed up for WordPress a while back, but was having hard time trying to figure the whole thing  out.I have been using Blogger  for so long and have gotten used to all the features and was able to do a whole lot  esp when it comes to customizing templates,HTMLs and CSS code edits.

I was able to import all of my previous posts from Blogger to WordPress and without deleting my Blogger blog~~Yaay~~The only thing though, some of the codes comes up broken, So I guess I need to work on figuring out the problem.I am on the learning process and I hope you’ll bear with me during this transition period. Hopeful I made a wise switch.

Our Twilight Getaway

Forks,Washington is the setting to the very popular fictional series Twilight. Before the movies, before Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, the world of Twilight existed solely in the little logging town of Forks, Washington.This is the setting that author Stephenie Meyer chose for her saga, and where so much of the richly detailed text takes place. This elusive town of only about 3,000 residents has always fascinated me.So my husband and I decided to take a trip down to Forks, Washington as a get away treat for our 7th wedding anniversary.

Our journey began with the drive from Seattle to Edmonds~Washington where we boarded a ferry to Kingston.From there we drove to Port Gamble,crossed The Hood Canal bridge to Sequim and stopped by the Dungeness Bay for a taste of crabs at The Three Crabs seafood restaurant and took more photos of us, beautiful birds and the Pacific ocean.

We, then drove up to Port Angeles where we stopped for more photo ops and rested for couple of hours before heading to Forks.

From Port Angeles we took highway 101 heading to Forks.The drive from Port Angeles to Forks was just beautiful ,driving through the Olympic National Park surrounded on one side by a constant wall of sky-high treetops and the serene Lake Crescent on the other, the winding drive into Forks truly did set up the atmosphere Meyer describes in her novels. 

Beautiful Lake Crescent

“The City of Forks Welcomes You” sign is what you see as you enter this small but now Worldly known city.

Upon arriving in Forks,we headed to a small Twilight sourvenier store where picked up a “Forks Twilight Map” highlighted with various Twilight locations, a list of stores selling trinkets and merchandise, as well as a list of great restaurants in town. The Visitor’s Center was closed so we decided to take the map and explore the town ourself. 

We started at Forks Visitor’s Center, a log cabin type building with a replica of Bella’s red Chevrolet truck waiting outside.

Coco… hitching a ride!!


Then headed to Bella’s House,The Outfitters,The Hospital where Dr Cullen works and saw his reserved parking spot,Forks High School,Police station where Bella’s dad Chief Swan works and The Cullen house.

The Cullen house~This location is actually the Miller Tree Inn Bed and Breakfast which claims to be the Cullen house in Forks.

Our final destination for our Twilight trip was La Push, the reservation just outside of Forks where Bella’s best friend Jacob Black lives. La Push is located about a fifteen minutes drive from Forks down a tree-lined highway. 

Once in La Push,We walked down to First Beach where Bella goes with her high school friends and ends up hanging out with Jacob for the first time properly in Twilight. Jacob tells Bella about the “cold ones” which is how she first learns about vampires in Forks. 

First Beach was full of piles of driftwood, had numerous rocky outcroppings with distant trees, and crashing waves rolled up onto the sand. It was a beautiful sunny day, but cold and windy.

We didn’t spend as much time at La Push as we would have liked, we were there for at least an hour or less, as we had to head back to Port Angeles to catch a ferry back to Seattle. We did enjoy this trip,It brought Stephanie Meyer’s stories to life.

Sex And The City Is Here! How About Throwing A SATC Party?Here Are Some Of The Ideas To Help You Out!


Wow, get out your Manolo’s girls because things are about to get SEXY!
A Sex and the City party is the ultimate girlie night out. Whether it be for a 21st birthday, a hen night or just a random blow out in the middle of the week, it’s going to be fun.
Here are some top tips for throwing the sassiest, sexiest and stylish party EVER.
For Sass: Invite all of your guests with a personalized invitation, decorated with the hottest new pair of shoes you can find, a nice new bag, or even a coffee. Something that says ‘New York’ to you. For your message inside, write something with real character and sass, such as ‘Hey girls, you’re invited to the sexiest, boldest birthday party in this city.’ Make sure you have attitude in your invites, so you know that your guests are going to feel like they can rule the world.


For Sexiness: Insist in the invites that everyone must DRESS UP. Tell everyone to come in the most fashionable outfit they can find, but also something that portrays them the most. Also, if you are inviting men, tell them to look absolutely fabulous. They have to wear suits, or shirt and trousers. Of course, you want them all to look as good as Mr Big, right? You might want to ask people to dress closest to their favorite Sex and the City character so that you feel like you are really those sexy girls in that fabulous show. (Yes, everything has to be faaabulous all night..)


For Style : Along with your stylish, sexy clothes, you need the decorate your house/venue the best you can. If you’re having it in a stylish city venue, make it look like a penthouse in New York city, with champagne fountains, finger buffets and yes, Cosmopolitans being sold/served in every corner. I would recommend hiring your own bar man to serve special cocktails for you throughout the evening. Also, make sure he is cute..
You also have to have background music, smooth jazz or background piano playing, even hire a pianist. You could also just play the Sex and the City soundtrack. That would definitely set the mood. For party games, I recommend revealing your sexy secrets so that no one at the party has any inhibitions at all and everything can get very revealing.
Last of all, enjoy the party. Have a fabulous evening.

We need to think, take action, to create new visions, unite and protect our planet. At home, in classrooms, at work, in the community come together or make a stand for Mother Nature: reduce your carbon footprints and look good doing it! ”This is an earth issue. It’s a water issue, it’s a soil issue, and it’s a critter issue. With apparel, it’s simple: we can all do out part simply with what we wear.” -Greg Alterman, Alternative CEO and Creative Director.
When it comes to fashion,Eco-friendly fashion is a now hot trend. And you dont have to sacrifice style or pay an arm and a leg to get eco-friendly trendy clothes.Different people define eco-friendly fashion differently but some of the key elements to eco-friendly fashion are materials and processes used by designers and manufacturers that are friendly to you and the earth. This may include materials such as organic cotton, bamboo, flax and hemp, among others that are biodegradable. Or use of processes that are organically safe and eco-friendly. Read more

Apple To Reveal The Next Iphone OS 4

Before all the iPad buzz has even had a chance to fizzle, Apple this morning sent e-mails inviting press to a sneak preview of the next-generation iPhone operating system.

The event is scheduled for Thursday, 10 a.m. PT at Apple headquarters.

Apple has not officially disclosed any details about its next iPhone OS, but a few rumors suggest it will introduce enhanced multitasking. The current iPhone OS (3.0) only allows a few core apps, such as iPod and Mail, to run in the background while another app is active.

The iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad all run the iPhone operating system.

Rumors hint that iPhone OS 4 will have a multitasking feature based on Apple’s Exposé, a tool in Mac OS X that enables users to see all open applications in an exploded view and quickly switch between them.


We’ll find out whether that’s true soon enough. Apple’s iPhone OS 3.0 preview event in March 2009 was rather transparent. During that press conference, Apple demonstrated a new copy-and-paste feature for the iPhone, as well as the ability for apps to communicate with special-purpose accessories. Then at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June, Apple announced the release of iPhone OS 3.0 along with new iPhone hardware.

In short, if Apple stays consistent, don’t expect to download iPhone OS 4.0 until summer.
