hollywood?

went to the supermarket for some grocery today.
after i got home and looked at the receipt, i was like "eh?"


the word "hollywood" was printed on the receipt.


hollywood at lucky?


it took me a few seconds to figure out that that was the name of the cashier...


holly wood...

i bet she got a lot of attention at school...

a pug's tale

mine. came

my customized magazine from time, inc. arrived in the mail a few days ago.

the magazine isn't very thick, but the paper it came in is of good quality.
you can also tell that the articles from each of the 5 magazines are chosen with much thought.
and the only advertisement you get (a mere 4 pages and no annoying subscription cards) is the lexus 2010 RX.

overall, not a bad concept.

the only complaint i have...
what happened to my choice of InStyle and Food & Wine?
i definitely did not pick Sports Illustrated and Golf...

T's wedding ceremony was followed by an amazing celebration at the ko'olau golf course. the couple made a great choice on this venue for their reception. guests enjoyed an astounding view of the tropical rain forest while feasting on the delectable food and desserts.

so did we :)

the couple is really blessed with having many family and friends helping them on their big day. the wedding cake decoration is an example.

time for something sweet...

...and even sweeter~

"congratulations" in the hawaiian language


last weekend, i attended my good friend T's wedding at her husband's hometown, oahu hawaii. they couldn't have picked a better timing for the wedding. it was the perfect weather and not quite the peak season for tourists yet.

T asked myself and another friend to serve as their wedding coordinators, but really, she did all the preparations for us before leaving for the island! all we had to do were to follow her schedule and instructions, and we're glad we could give her a hand. after all, the responsibility for the bride and groom was to read their vows and enjoy their day!
