On this rainy day I thought I'll sit down and write whatever is on my mind at this exact moment.
Just feeling a bit sentimental today, could it be due to the weather? Weather tends to have that effect on me. On sunny days everything around seem so much more beautiful, cheerful but on days like today it seems to be so gloomy,sad and all the bad feelings surfaces.
Should I even complain now that around the world there are so many natural disasters and so many people dying, homeless, starving and living in fear. I think we will always think grass is greener on the other side.
I was at a Catholic funeral service last Wednesday and it was a sad day as the deceased was the younger brother of one of my dear friend who was a cancer fighter that taught everyone the meaning of life. He was young, only 46 but till the day he died he did not ask God why it had to be him. The father at the service had said something that really touched my heart. He said it is not life if there's no sickness, no death. Having only the good things is not a true life. We can only experience life through happiness, sickness, death, birth, old age. That is the meaning of life.
It is so true that everyday we dwell on different things in our lives, think how unlucky we are for the things that's happening to us. The world will not stop revolving around us even if we cry or complain. We just have to pick ourselves up and continue our journey in life. "Sh.t" happens but life continues so might as well start cruising down our journey with a big smile on our face. Be strong and positive!

My perfect proposal
Every girl must dreamed about their wedding day and what it will be like one day. Some even dream of what the proposal will be like, will it be touching, romantic and perfect. We all see so many perfect "staged" proposals in movies and sometimes hope one day our guys will take some "cues" from them. But at the end most of us will wind up with lines like...."let's get married", "Mom wants us to get married", "well you're pregnant we should get married"...etc.
I'm a romantic at heart so naturally I want the "works" and want it to be memorable and touching. This morning...Thursday, Jan 20, 2011 I got my perfect proposal! Tune into 103.5 QMFM tomorrow between 8-8:30am and you will get the scoop. xoxo

Reflection
2010 has been a memorable one for me. I was able to be in Vancouver where 2010 Winter Olympic was held. I was lucky to be able to enjoy ice-skating live among other proud Canadians. The spirit around the city was unbelievable!
2010, I also made a huge investment in my life which was purchasing a new "nest" for myself. It was the biggest decision I've made so far in life and talking about it now still gives me the chills. It will definitely be a new chapter for me. By next summer I'll be enjoying a nice glass of rich red on my balcony looking out to the beautiful cityview! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
This year has brought in some ups and downs for me but as someone said, I only want to remember the ups and forget the downs. We have to remind ourselves that our life is only so short so why should we sweat it. So my new year resolution is to go out and enjoy life, live everyday in happiness, work hard and play hard. Cheers!

vacation time
It's finally time for my 2 weeks vacation....yay! Even though I've been taking a day here and there throughout the year it's just not the same. Although this is definitely not my first time to HK I'm still excited. I wonder if this is due to a companion that will be joining me on this trip...:)
I already did some searching and checking for interesting places to go and things to eat. It's been over 15 years that J has been to HK and lots has changed. We'll even be going to Macau for 2 days and he can definitely see how Macau has outrun Vegas. One major thing I forgot to mention is that this will be the first time he meet my parents. Don't know how it's going to turn out but hope he will pass the toughest critic, who is my Mom.
We are both overdue for a holiday and this is a "real" vacation for us not just another mini getaway. Hopefully this will rejuvenate our relationship and push us into a different level.

Fall 2010
What happened to our 2010, didn't we just experienced an amazing winter Olympics not too long ago? In 2 1/2 months till we call it a year and hello 2011. As we grow older the years seems to fly by ever so quickly year after year and it is getting a bit intimidating.
Fall was never a season of my favorite, the only thing that keeps me going is my birthday and the rest of the time I have to rely on thinking Christmas is just around the corner to keep me going. I dreaded the weather that comes with fall. If you are in a bad relationship with someone try not to break up in the fall as it will totally drag you down to the lowest point. Well, due to the weather being gloomy, rainy which makes it worst. Although we are lucky this year that we've been having some gorgeous days throughout the fall so far. The weather has a strange effect on me, if it is sunny out I feel more energetic, happy but if it happened to be a rainy day I will feel lazy, moody.
Talk about this fall I do have something else to look forward to, which is my trip to HK at the end of November. Usually I'm not overly excited about it since that's where I normally go for my vacation due to my parents being there. I often wish I can be elsewhere if only my parents can come visit me in Van. instead. This time I will not be going alone as I will be bringing Jason and I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun since this is only the 2nd time he's been back and the last time was way back in the 90's. A lot has changed and it will be great to explore HK with him. Plus I will be there for the birth of my little precious niece. In just 42 days........

Summer 2010
Gees, can't believe I have not updated my blog for soooooo long. Been a case of laziness and busy schedule.
So far the summer has been going nicely, good weather, not too hot and of course plenty of sun. Of course everyone likes the sun but I must say I hate it as much as I like it due to my allergy to it. I will break out in hives if I even attempt to bathed in the sun so I just avoid it altogether and slap on tons of sunblock on my face.
A couple of highlights this summer is a little weekend getaway to the Sunshine Coast and staying at a lovely B&B with Jason, watching a Cirque production, Kooza and lastly seeing one of my favorite singer...Michael Buble towards the end of August. You can say it is a fairly good summer for me. Although I wouldn't mind going away on a long vacation. I guess going to HK in November will be that "vacation" but I consider that just a family gathering more than anything. Perhaps a side trip can be plan along. Hmmmmmm, where????

What crazy things should I do????
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
