Save Me, San Francisco

“Best way to live in California is to be from somewhere else.”

           ― Cormac McCarthy, No Country for Old Men

It has literally been FOREVER since I blogged - sorry my friends.


Contrary to previous posts, however, today's entry will be a photo journey of my most recent trip to the Bay Area. We had a chance to stay in the middle of it all - South SF, so we rented a car to drive around. We visited San Fran, Oakland, Palo Alto, Mountain View, San Jose, Santa Cruz, and along the coast on Highway 1! If you know me, you know how much I love the ocean - just seeing it brightens my day. So... needless to say how happy I was! :)

Believe. And Count Your Blessings.

Always be Thankful.

“What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it - would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.”

-- Ralph Marston

The Little Thing Called "Happiness."

This blog entry is dedicated to everyone out there who is searching for "happiness"...

"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier.  The way it actually works is the reverse.  You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want."  

~Margaret Young

I hope you know that you are never alone, and that someone out there
loves you more than you could ever know...

Long Time, No See

“Life does not accommodate you, it shatters you. It is meant to, and it couldn't do it better. Every seed destroys its container or else there would be no fruition.”

It has been exactly one month since my last entry... I don't even know why it took me that long to write. It's not that I have been too busy, it's also not because I have nothing to share... Maybe it's just because I used to write about feelings, and now is the time for me to let reality set in and remind me of all that's needed to be done. My mind does not deal well with putting too much feelings on the line at the moment, so no entry has been written, and I hope you understand. I have been wanting to write down what all I had going on for a while, but these days words seem to just slip out of my mind very quickly.

So here it is. May not be the best blog entry ever, but it certainly gives a little updates about my current life... Once I get my feelings back (as bad as it sounds) , more entries are yet to come. :)

“Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever...”

I have always thought blogging was putting thoughts and feelings down in writing, as simple as that sounds. Surprisingly I am experiencing the "lost of words" issue right now: so many things on my mind, but they all just scramble around and I cannot get anything out to put into a good entry.


If I had learn anything, that would be it takes much more than just thoughts itself to actually put everything into words. However, that's not what this entry is about.

♥ If you are going to fall in love with me... ♥

Never frown... even when you're sad, because you never know when someone is falling in love with your smile.                                                           ~Anonymous

I don't think I have told you, but I am now officially addicted to StumbleUpon. The website itself offers me the chance to come across so many interesting websites, pictures, quotes, and everything else according to my preferences. I'm amused by it!

Work-in-Progress (Updated).

(First update - 1/11/2011)
(Second update - 1/14/2011)
(Third update - 1/23/2011)

I wrote this blog entry a while back (about a week ago, actually ;)), but since it is an entry about a few processes, I will keep coming back to update it to the latest stage of my life.

I have realized that this is one of the most important times of my life, when I really need to make certain decisions that can affect my future/life greatly in one way or another. However, I do not have the ability to worry about everything at once, so I am taking down everything slowly, one by one. This blog entry is used as a personal reminder for me of what all are needed to be done.

Back to where I began.

To get away from one's working environment is, in a sense, to get away from one's self; and this is often the chief advantage of travel and change.

So I am back from an eventful winter break trip, and my mind is still wandering around the bay area and Southern California trying to decide what I should write about in this new blog entry so that this past two weeks will be included in here somehow.

"This is not a love story, this is a story about Love."

Finally watched (500) Days of Summer after the putting it off for hmm... about 500 days. Simply because I really need to be in the mood or have company to watch those types of movies. Ended up watching it alone anyway, but I'm happy I did, cause the movie really took me through an emotional ride: 95 minutes of laughters, tears, anger, and frustrations... This entry is not only a brief review for the movie, but it is also the thoughts I have gathered and put down before my short-term memory goes away.

Be careful reading what's next if you have not seen the movie and want to see it, I don't want to ruin anything for ya ;).
