Thank you, Jane
I got this cute SPA basket from Jane this weekend.....
It's a full lavander Spa set with hand cream, body cream, bubble bath, shower gel, body scrub, foot soaking power, bath tea and sponge. It smells really good and lavander is my faovriate! It's too pretty to open, but Mom really likes the basket and she made me open it......
Thank you, Jane for the thoughtful gift. Next time when I enjoy my lavander bubble bath, I will remember our gal's SPA day at Napa and how much fun that was. Thank you!.

A note from Netherlands
I'm dedicating this article to my friend, Lily in Netherlands who takes risk to pursue her dream and experiences life fully.
Lily dropped us a note from Netherlands this weekend. For some reasons I was truly touched by her e-mail and can really see how much my old friend has grown in the past few months.
Lily was my roommate from Santa Barbara. Earlier this year, she moved across Atlantic Ocean to be with her love in Netherlands for few years. As someone who has lived her whole life following rules carefully, I analyzed and tried to talk her out of it. "You has a good job in San Francisco that you love, you can't just give up your career." "It's only two years and he will be stationed back to U.S soon. True love can survive these two years, and you can't just quit your life here and move to a foreign country". "Maybe you should try to find a job in Netherlands first and then move. You can't even speak Dutch". I can still remember sitting in my living room this Spring and both Chia and I were trying to rationalize with her. After weeks of consideration, Lily still decided to move. Being her friends we might think it's a risky decision & crazy idea but we support her and wish her well.
Now seeing her adapting to her new life well, making new friends and adjusting to "Potential" military wives life style- I'm so happy for her and praise her courage. I am proud of her to take risk and explore opportunities in life. From her e-mail, I can tell she works hard to get acquainted with the new country. It's amazing to see my bar/club hopping city friend has grown to adapt to simple life so quickly and to appreciate things/people around her.
I am glad that she didn't listen to her risk adverse friend and went ahead to pursue her dream.
Lily, I wish you well and am looking forward to see you this winter.
Most of us live by rules our whole lives. We go by society standards, always busy and on the go. We work hard for our 9 to 5 jobs and are risk adverse. We rarely take on tasks that we aren't sure about. We put on hold for that one trip we always want to take, the people we want to be with, and that one thing we want to learn. By dong so, I wonder if we miss out the opportunity to truly experience life.

What I'm Reading Now
This is what I'm currently reading - For One More Day by Mitch Albom. I'm only one third through the book, so you would need to wait for a while till my review. The book explores the question of what would you do if you could spend one more day with a lost loved one? From time to time, we put things, people and feelings on hold and take them for granted with the assumption that we would have one more day later to deal with it. What if you just miss that one more day and don't have the chance to fix it? What you would of done differently?
I'm sure we've all experienced losing someone in life, and have wished we could of have chance to do things differenlty or maybe not.

The blogger is back
Alright, I am back.......I've been so busy with my new job for a week now. Today, I finally left at more decent hour!!!! The new job is going well, I like my new boss and people in the office. It's just really hard trying to clean up previous person's mess in a limited time. One of the advantage of this job is to travel more frequent to SF - I can see little Hannah more often, can have my favoriate BBQ, and hang out with KK. That's exactly what I did on Monday.
Hannah has grown a lot since I last saw her. She is a beautiful little girl. She likes her auntie a lot. i clap my hands when she stands up, so she kept doing it.
She also likes to sit on her highchair to watch Baby Einstein.
She can also hold her bottle and feeds herself.
Although it's only a short visit, Robert and Karin didn't let me go home hungry. Karin went to Whole Food and bought three big pieces of NY Steak, and Robert did his magic on the grill. We had a feast! Big piece of steak each with grilled corn and bellpaper.
Of course, no feast is completed without Cakebread Cellars wine. I bought two bottles -Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Cakebread Cellars is my favoriate winery. Although a $30 chadonnay, and $70 Cabernet Sauvignon is a little expensive, but it is money worth sepnt.....
Thank you KK, Robert and Little Hannah's hospitality. A nice short visit helped me relax a bit from my stressful 1st week at work. I will see you again next week!!!

Moving In - Moving out
I've started to miss living by myself.
The freedom of just wake up in the morning and get ready to work. Beucase sometimes in the morning, you are in the rush and don't really like to chick chat.
The freedom of of come back home after long day at work, lay on your couch wathcing TV and don't need to deal with people. Beucase sometimes after a long day, you really not in the mood to social, and you don't really have the reason why and don't feel like to explain it.
The freedom of not really need to explain why you aren't eating, beucase sometimes you're just really not hungry. Home made dinner sounds good sometimes, but I really not a big dinner eater.
Gosh, it's not even a week. I keep telling myself, this is the only way to save up for a house.....so suck it up.

My New Home
I am glad to report that I am finally settled at Mom & Dad's. Fully unpacked, internet/cable ready, and also got spare time to get my manicure and pedicure. Mom and Dad were great helpers . We worked well as a team, as I unpacked everything, Mom helped clean up my furnitures, and Dad started to flatten the cardboardbox. We finished unpacking everything within 3 hours.
I rearranged Mom's living room a bit with my old furnitures....
Here is my new room..... I transformed SmallN's old bedroom into my new fully functional and wired bedroom
I feel so relief that everything is able to fit into the room. Although I might still need a bigger closet. Mom and I are planning to convert Karin and my old room into a portable semi walk-in closet. (Don't worry, Karin. It will still be sleepable when you, Hannah and Robert come down and visit )
