Back again

I'm sick of myspace already. There are too many people on it and most of them are bunch of idioits! Myspace is a filthy place filled with slutty photos and tons of advertisement. I hate it when I get messages from all these bands that got no talent. Okay, maybe I'm a little harsh. I can't believe I'm back to blogger again. This was my very first blog. I've spent all afternoon in front of the computer blogging and customizing. We got rid of our satellite tv, and now I'm surviving on antenna. This is definitely for the better. Now I have no reason to just sit on my butt all day watching tv, I can actually enjoy life more. I'm hoping we can go see Pirates of the Caribbean tonight.

Half empty glass

Well, what can I say about this year so far? It's been same old same. I still haven't heard anything from the job yet. If I do get this job, this can probably be my biggest challenge this year. Sometimes I feel lost in simple life. I get scared when everything is going too well. My current mood: glass half empty. I'm kinda homesick. I have never imagined myself living in America for this long. I have made some wonderful friends here, but oddly enough, I don't have any asian friends, except my college roommate. Even though this place started to feel like home, I still feel out of place sometimes. No matter how nice and welcoming people are, there are certain things you can only relate to your own people. I'm afraid that I may never live in Hong Kong again. Will I be a foreigner for the rest of my life?

Dreams and hope

My mind has been going a little crazy lately. It's like that every time after a trip. I think it's because I feel depressed that the fun time is over. My last trip was to Minneapolis last weekend. I had so much fun that almost made me want to move there. I have been thinking about it, just thinking. I have to consider how our lives will be changed if we move there. We'd like to raise our children here in Des Moines. Our plan of having babies changes every year. We are planning on starting a family next year, but it may change again. I'm scared, but I think having babies will be wonderful even though they come with tons of responsibilities and sacrifices. I know some couples who are married all their lives and never have kids. I hope we don't become like that. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with that, it's just not us. We want a nice size family, maybe 4-5 kids and many grandchildren. Haha...

I know we all have different dreams and hope, we all live different lives. What you want for yours may not be what I want for mine. My dear friends, I wish you all the best whether you just want to live in a farm and milk cows, or pursuing the nobel prize.

Shopping day with Mary Ann

I left work early today so I could go shop for gifts for my friend Wing. She's having a birthday/housewarming party this weekend, and we are invited! We will drive up tomorrow and be back Sunday night. I can't wait for this fun-filled-weekend. After I got off work, I called Mary Ann to see if she's free to hang out. I'm glad she was. She's always so nice, and I love spending time with her. We don't really do anything crazy, just some girly stuff like shopping. Sometimes I feel like we are like two old grannies. So we went to her favorite store Maurices. Mary Ann picked out an outfit for me and I love it! Girl, we got to do something less destructive to my wallet next time. We wrapped up the night with a delicious meal at Taki. More sushi adventure for Mary Ann. How come two white kids can hold chopsticks better than I do?!
