fatboothed!

this is what i will look like when i'm preggers:

the beast is loose..

Shady is also going to miss the open fields of green we have here! I'm letting her take advantage of it as much as she can....

thirsty.

Shady is going to miss dog-friendly places like Santana Row when she moves back to Taipei.

my favorite gals from VideoEgg

I'm not into baseball but it sure was an exciting game! I felt like it was a national holiday in San Francisco today!

blast from the past...

As y'all know (like there's so many people reading this), I'm packing for my move back to the motherland. I was going through my things and found some old photos:

Empire State of Mind - visiting the BFF in NYC sometime during college

Disneyland - BFF & I stuck in the back of the log on Splash Mountain

Asian Astronaut (aka godson's pop) - not sure why I had this but I love it.

we love anthropologie!

My godson's mama finally found THE champagne glasses she's been looking for - her year end search has ended! We heart Anthropologie - and their ginormous shopping bags. This may be our last Santana Row outing for awhile....tear...:(

my last macchiato...

I spent the day with my cousins, niece and nephew today and gosh.. I'm seriously getting sad about my move!! Though it was a rainy day, I had great fun hanging out and spending time with them before I go. I wish I had more time... even though I had a LOT of time. This may be the last cup of coffee I have in Berkeley until.....who knows when I'll move back to the bay area.

 

welcome to the family...

Max Daniel Boone:

I guess it's not Ka Boone after all. But nonetheless, still so cute! And look at those lips - he definitely won't need lip injections in the future.

Ka-Boone!

I'm an aunty again! My cousin Sooz just had her baby boy - I can't wait to meet him! I don't even know his name yet - ka-boone? boone shakalaka? Doesn't she look fabulous even after having a behbeh? SO not fair!

Project Hammy: Stage 2

A preview of what our future home may look like:

The hubby created the layout using Google's Sketchup in 3D!

High Tea II..

I had a wonderful afternoon with my high tea queens! I'm going to miss having these with my gals! :(

Mother of Pearls...

My friend celebrated her birthday eating fresh oysters at Tomales Bay today. A first for me and definitely not my last! I was hoping to find some pearls in the self-shucked oysters, but no luck. Maybe next time! Happy Birthday Jen!

Special gift...

from my godson's papa:

Thank you for thinking of me.

J.Cruel

For the first time today, I felt like a total douchebag-ette. My godson was wanting out of his stroller so we replaced him with Shady instead. I became one of those weird people who stroll their dogs around in a doggie stroller. I usually can't stand them, but technically, it wasn't Shady's stroller. On our way into J.Crew, this girl was trying to get by us and said in a really rude tone "Excuse me.."...and then commented something about "you and your frikin dog." And her lame boyfriend just followed her like a lost puppy. Just because the pretty J.Crew clothes can't fit your fat ass doesn't mean you can be such a rude beeyatch. Then again, I wonder if I would be thinking the same thing if I was in her place.

Jaxson's spot has been taken over

holy dumps!

I can't believe I missed the dumpling festival in NYC! I didn't even know such festival existed. Photos below from steamykitchen.com.

The Un-Social Network

I watched "Social Network" with a gal pal last night and I came up with three conclusions:

1) I should have married a real nerd. I would have been 25 billion dollars richer.
2) Mark Zuckerberg is not very social.
3) Justin Timberlake has aged..terribly. Maybe it was his hair.

Here's the Social Network in 1 minute - asian style.

hmmm...

i chalk you

What fun for the kitchen! Image from oh joy eats.

nothing.

is what I did today. I did go to the DMV to have my car title name changed and that's about it. The rest of the day, I seriously sat on the couch and caught up on my tv shows. What a wonderful day!

California Love

Hammy has returned from the motherland! And oh boy..it sure feels good to be back in Cali! I missed the air, the freeways, the tv shows...and in-n-out! I'm proud to be made in Taiwan, but deep down, I'm still a California gurl. I think I always will be.

Project Home Hammy: Stage 1
