My sister and I are both February babies and our birthdays are only 3 days apart, so we’ve always celebrated together. Normally, we would go somewhere nice for dinner with our family, but because we’re trying to stay as safe as possible these days, we just opted to have our joint party at my mom’s …
If you had asked me what I wanted for my 35th birthday, I would have told you this: travel and cake. Cake was a lot more attainable, but travel? I just didn’t have money to burn for a holiday at the moment so I had to scrap that idea. But just because I couldn’t travel …
Our Little Star is one year old! I can’t believe that an entire year has gone by since I first met that tiny pink thing in the delivery room and held her for the very first time! It has been such a treat and a privilege to watch our beautiful little girl grow and witness …
So I just turned 34. No big deal, except that this is my first birthday as a mom! That’s what made it extra special! I didn’t have any grand plans for my birthday. No travels, no staycations, no parties. I preferred not to spend so much because I would rather spend money on my baby. …
For my birthday a few weeks ago, I didn’t really plan a big and grand celebration. I wanted to save money and I just had one simple wish: to eat sushi! Lots of sushi! Well, I got my sushi, all right… but I got so much more than that. I got to feast on all …
My aunt asked me a few days before my birthday, “How old will you be this year?” Without flinching, I proudly said “Thirty three!” My cousin-in-law laughed and said, “You’re too honest! You should have said twenty seven!” (I could have said 8.25, actually. The advantages of being a leap year baby!) I was getting …
I have at least one event every week — a birthday party, a wedding, a corporate function, or a blogging event. But a few weeks ago, I was invited to attend a different kind of event, and an ultra cute one at that: a dog party! My sister Alexa’s dog Blush just turned one year old 2 weeks …
Sometimes, I get weird dreams. Like this one time I woke up from my slumber and groggily told Mike “I had a dream. It was about Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang. I saw Charlie Brown… and Woodstock…” In my dream, they weren’t even doing anything. And prior to having that dream, I haven’t even seen, …
If you read about our night trip to the Goldfish Market, then you probably already know that my fiance Mike and our friend Eric are fish fanatics. Therefore, a visit to Ocean Park — a marine mammal park, oceanarium, and amusement park in Hong Kong — was a must in our itinerary. Ocean Park is one of …
While Day 1 of our Hong Kong trip was spent just casually chilling out in our hotel, having Chinese food for dinner, and walking around 1881 Heritage and the Avenue of Stars, Day 2 was allotted for “meatier” activities. First thing in our itinerary was a trip to the breathtaking Lantau Island, Hong Kong’s largest island. …
