my high school friend and her college sweetheart just threw a really sweet and fun wedding at hogwarts... i mean at gilroy's eagle ridge golf club. but it truly was the most relaxing and laid back wedding i've ever been to. the weather was perfect too!


lovely vows, big smiles

long time no see

it's been over a year since i've seen C & T.
they were in town a couple weeks ago and we finally met up to have their favorite chinese dim sum brunch. we tried a new place and luckily, it was good! i'm glad they enjoyed the food as much as i did (they said there're none in san diego...). thanks for sharing a nice afternoon with me and all the catching up! i promise i will visit SD soon!






a few days after that, i got to have dinner with my little friend Addison! she was so sweet and asked me to sit next to her as soon as i arrived! (sorry daddy J you had to move) compared to the last time i saw her in january, she's very social and conversing in full sentences now. she's so goofy too!

"haa~~ii!"

during dinner, Addi wanted to show off her photography talent and snapped some pictures. she captured daddy J and auntie M being silly, her little feet, my arm, and a conversation between big bird and cookie monster. :)

cooking fish

the culinary centers at the whole foods market have been offering simple and affordable cooking classes for many years. take a 2.5-hour cooking fish class as an example, it's only US$15 and you get to learn up to 4 dishes and EAT all 4 dishes. the best part -- no cleaning up a messy kitchen afterwards!
