Taiwan Day 7: Family time means food too

Yes, lots and lots of food. At this point, I was feeling reeeeally heavy and fat. Every day, lunch and dinner, heavy stuff. If a little starving African kid went on the food tour I was on, he might have died by now.
This day my aunt on my dad’s side and her husband came over [...]

Taiwan Day 5: Family food

Day 5! Big family dinner. Everyone came out, except for one of my aunts’ husbands and one cousin, who is in the compulsory army right now. The food was yummy. My little cousin, Karen, was a pretty good girl, but still very lively. My other younger cousin, Stina, who is a few years younger than [...]

Educated foreign kids

My mom recently told me a story about my little cousin in Taiwan that surprised me.
My uncle recently visited Taiwan, something he does maybe once every two years. He gave my little cousin, Karen (that’s the English name she decided upon in school), 200 U.S. dollars as a gift (red envelope kind of thing. Asian [...]

Oh mother…

Today I was sitting in the car while my mom drove back home. We have these birds that like to sit on top of the traffic lights or street lamps. They all line up and sit there and many times, we wonder why they do that…or what they are thinking.
Mom: hm….I wonder would it would [...]

New Year’s Eve

We are such a diligent family!

How much is that kitty in the window? These pets were up for adoption in the Macys windows. Sooo cute. All pets should get their own little scenic corner!

Awwwww…

These boots were super cute.

As were these Betsey Johnson’s. The bottom is hot pink with Marilyn Monroe’s eye and gold hardware detailing [...]

My Parents

They are pretty funny sometimes. In their own way. We were at El Pollo Loco, and my mom was commenting about food, and it had to relate to why certain races seem….fatter…than others…due to cultural food…
So I said, that according to Spanish class at school, that their culture is to take a siesta around noon [...]

I love my dad

He kills huge spiders for me. Spiders that are this ____________ wide and ______________________ long and just the torso is this _________ big and round.
I was walking up to our gate from the backyard, and from the corner of my eye, I saw something black fall down from the ledge on the wall to my [...]

Sims Home Building

My brother recently moved into his new and first home! He’s been busy fixing it up and doing everything the right way, so to celebrate, I created a replica of his home on Sims 2, because I love making homes in Sims.
The hardest part was building the modular stairs because the stairs that come with [...]

Sibling time!

I’ve had a wonderful weekend with my brother! I don’t get to see him much because he lives hours away, and usually when I do see him it’s with our parents. I think the only times I got to be alone with him were random drives in his car, or biking around the neighborhood.
Or staying [...]
