It’s been snowing here for last 24 hours and it’s beginning to look more like winter. It’s been a while since we had so much snow here. Continue reading “Winter Wonderland”

Can I just have warm water this time instead? I haven’t been exactly feeling like myself during the last few days. Continue reading “Coffee House Ramble #5”
Out of Focus
Have you ever had a moment where you look at a picture on the tiny screen of your camera and thought, “Gee, this is such a perfect picture.” Then, when you blow the picture up on your desktop, you’re like, “What in the world!” Continue reading “Out of Focus”
Worst Quality?
What are my worst qualities?
If you ask different people, they will tell you something very different. For example, my mom will probably say my worst quality is that I’m lazy while if you ask, say, my driving instructor, he will probably say I am too careful which apparently is not always a good thing when it comes to driving.
Me myself?
I think one of my seriously bad quality is procrastination. Oftentimes, I will tell myself, “Okay, the assignment is due in two weeks. You better get a move on and finish it this weekend.” Then I will relax and then three days before the assignment is due, I will panic. The weird thing is, this only happens with school assignments. I don’t procrastinate at work. I don’t know what my deal with procrastination is.
My other bad quality is that I often find myself running my mouth off. Mom is often mad at me for this. I mean, it’s not like I’m not trying. I try to filter my thoughts but it seems to make everything worse. It’s like before, these were just random thoughts but now, these thoughts have gone from random to ridiculous. Maybe I’m trying too hard to filter my thoughts to act mature. I don’t know, all I know is I’m better when I’m not thinking too hard.

Share Your World – 2015 Week #49
What would be your ideal birthday present, and why?
I used to prefer some kind of monetary gift such as money, gift card, etc. but nowadays, I think spending a day where I’m not bothered would be good too.
What color would you like your bedroom to be?
I am horrible at choosing colors or anything. So I think instead of color, I will choose a more expensive path, have an artist to come paint a mural.
Would you prefer snowy winters, or not, and why?
No I do not prefer snowy winters because snow means there’s ice and for me, that’s a nightmare. I had a horrible experience early 2013 when the ice storm hit Utah. I almost ended up crawling to the bus stop that day after slipping on the ice numerous times that day, even wearing special boots.
Would you rather go a week without bathing, but be able to change your clothes, or a week without a change of clothes, but be able to bathe?
Can I at least wash my hair? A week without washing my hair would result in a greasy nightmare. Other than that, I think I would choose a week without bathing but I can change my clothes.
Set Three Goals
I did Blogging 201 in February of 2015. I didn’t really need it at the time but what the heck, I could use some advice. However, I think I am taking this course now to help me grow this blog and it will give me a chance to learn about more ways to beautify this blog. Continue reading “Set Three Goals”

A Christmas Party
Friday night, I was at a party. It was nice and festive. There were more children than adults, the ratio of children to adult each table was about 6 to 2. In fact, our table was most likely the only table with the most adults, 6 adults and 4 children, two sat in chair while two sat on parents’ laps. Continue reading “A Christmas Party”
Hugh’s Photo Challenge: Week 7 – Funny Or Strange Signs

Share Your World – 2015 Week #48
Are you a hugger or a non-hugger?
I am definitely not a hugger. Whenever someone hugs me, my heart would always pound nervously. I don’t know why and the worst part is, people tend to give me the awkward one-arm half-hug. It’s the most awkward thing ever when someone twice sometimes three times my size tries to give me a half-hug. It’s like they can wrap their arms all the way around me but I can barely reach half-way.
What is your favorite toppings on pizza?
I like almost all the toppings on pizza except for any type of mushrooms, onions, seafood including fish, and other weird things like marshmallow. Don’t laugh, I think I’ve seen a marshmallow pizza before. My all-time favorite pizza though, has to be sausage and pepperoni pizza. Mmm…
If you were the original designer of one existing corporate logo, which one would you select?
Coca-Cola. I don’t know why I choose that except that I know I would be rich. I learned from my accounting classes, the Coca-Cola logo worth a lot.
Complete this sentence: Where I can seek my solace is… 
Anywhere that can provide me with peace and serenity. Anywhere that allows me to drift off temporarily to somewhere faraway.
Transition of the Seasons
You have probably seen these before or maybe you haven’t but I think these pictures are probably the best I can do for this week’s photo challenge.
…and here is how the mountain look at the moment.
A Child’s Dream
When I was 10, I was getting ready to make the trip of a lifetime, the 11-hour airplane ride from Guangzhou, China to Los Angeles, California. I wasn’t thinking of what I want to become when I grew up. Just trying to adapt to my new environment was a difficult enough task. Continue reading “A Child’s Dream”
Coffee House Ramble #3

I can hardly believe it. Thanksgiving has come and gone this year and Christmas is coming in a month and 2016 in less than 5 weeks! This year feels like it’s just breezed by.
