It's been a while since I posted pictures last. My initial purpose of creating this blog was to show my life in Japan but I had some people telling me to post more pictures so here they are.
First picture is Aylene and me at a diner near Aylene's house in San Mateo. I can't believe it's been almost 5 years since I met Aylene at Santa Clara University. I was wearing a Berkley hooded sweater that day and oh boy! I got 3 people yelling something like "Nor Cal!!!" or "Go Bears!!" to me... I had no clue why people are so "friendly" to me at first....the sweater must not be worn in public.
I baked cupcakes. I had a great baking day with my new friend Hien who is an almost-pro Cup Cake baker. I like how she is so creative and obsessed when it comes to cupcakes. =) She also bakes cupcake as a business, so should you need any delicious dozens catered for your party, let me know.
masterpiece, mixed, baked, and decorated by Hien =) Behold, it is a present box cupcake!
This pretty girl in the picture below is Aleena, Nick's niece. She is another one of my new friends and she just turned 8 last week =) I love hanging out with her and her sister May because they remind me of myself when I was 9 or 10.
Aleena's little sister May! She is a hyper charming girl who wants to be a model when she grows up.
way to go May!
Nick has three adorable nieces and the last one is Harmony who is still a little little baby. I wonder what it's like to be surrounded by things you have never seen before. She has only been in this world for less than 5 months. She has a big adventure ahead of her!!
happy with daddy

Little did I know being religious is so hard. Going to church makes me have a time to think and I like that, but even after going to masses for over ten times, I still cannot say the prayers. I guess it takes time and practice. For me, the time I spend at church is the time to think of what I have now and appreciate how lucky I am to have everything I wanted. It is also a time to look back my past and think of what I miss or what I have gained from the loss. It is a place for me to talk to myself and the big guy!
I like Nick's car. I never liked sports cars because I think they look silly, but this one is cool. My next goal in life is to get a job and a driver's license. =)
