Dear Mom


I am writing this letter because there’s been lots on my mind and living with you hadn’t made it any easier. I also want to I’m sorry I’ve been a little cranky lately. I know I should say it to your face instead of writing it here but let’s face it, I can never do that. You’d say I deserve it and give me one of your a-waste-of-time lectures.  Continue reading “Dear Mom”

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”

Writing Habits


I have been blogging for more than two years and so far, I’ve written more than a thousand posts and published about 930. I can tell you that all of those posts were typed using my ancient laptop, a Sony Vaio laptop just two months shy of turning six. It’s been very reliable over the years even though it has indeed caused a few scares.  Continue reading “Writing Habits”

Disappointed…


DSCF0579

I was so looking forward to the Super Blood Moon and the Lunar Eclipse on Sunday but I didn’t get to see it. I was so disappointed. There were too much clouds that night. I stood on my front porch, urging, “Come on, clouds, just move over one tiny inch.”

*sigh* The clouds just wouldn’t budge. The picture above was shot on Saturday night. The sky had already darken but somehow my camera kept making the pictures look so light. The ISO was automatically set to 800 and the shutter speed was exceptionally slow, 1/10 second. I even had to enter to digital zoom. That’s why everything around it is so blurry. While the clouds wouldn’t move last night, I did somehow kind of successfully captured the beginning of the eclipse. Yes, I know, I have a very sucky camera.

DSCF0581

This is also ISO 800 but with an even slower shutter speed, 1/4 seconds. Don’t look at me, I didn’t do anything. You know the weird thing though?

About 30 miles away in Salt Lake City, people were witnessing the eclipse in perfect clarity. I watched the live footage on the news. So it looks like the clouds are just playing games with me. Ugh!
