Photo taken on May 22, 2008 at Daddy’s Office
Matthew and I attended dear hubby’s retirement ceremony. It was only a few blocks away so we walked to the office, but I was not prepared for the heat. It was a hot day!
We were 30 minutes early. We did a few socializing. [...]

Life of a Toddler, Matthew at 21 Months

Scraped chin, scratched nose and busted lips – all from different incidents.
On another incident, he has managed to grab the half filled coffee pot from the coffee maker, poured it all over himself and dropped it on the floor. He cried, mortified by the coffee all over himself and by my reaction. I was only [...]

The Height

How tall (or short) are you?
I’m 5-feet and an inch tall. I usually wear 2-inch heeled shoes so that makes me look 5-feet 3-inches tall.
Aloha Friday originated in Kailani’s An Island Life is my favorite meme. If you would like to join in the fun, simply answer the question as a comment then [...]

American Idol Finale, On David Cook

It’s such a disappointment! David Cook didn’t belt it out and the song choices were mediocre! No David Cook signature on the song arrangement and so, his performances came out flat and forgetable!
I think he meant it when he said that as far as he is concerned the competition is over. He didn’t even look like he was [...]

Celebrating Me as Mommy

I’m thanking you all those who greeted me ‘Happy Mother’s Day’… all blogging friends, friend who emailed, my sister who called, my in-laws and my mother, … and those who wished me well that day and kept me in their prayers but didn’t have the chance to talk!
And of course, I’m thanking my baby MAtthew whose smiles [...]

Sayonara

I knew we are leaving Japan soon, but a few days ago, when dear hubby told me the date of our flight to the United States, my heart just sank! I felt so heavy in my heart. Somehow, the date of the flight made it more real to me that we are leaving Japan soon.
Dear Hubby [...]

My Matthew … he is now 20 months old! Where did my baby go? Well, he is not a baby anymore, but I’m still in denial.
Everyday is a challenge! It has become really difficult to control him because he is much persistent and stronger now, with octopus hands and feet! I mean, everytime I grab [...]
