Summer of 2013 Update!



                This was the first line we had to wait in. Then, there was another long one inside. After that there was yet another long line waiting for us. Just look at my dad and you can see how all those lines made him feel.


               Our beautiful room with a wonderful balcony! As you can see, I really loved that room :)


                Our first breakfast in the Carnival cruise! Oh my. Pau Pau (sorry, that means grandma if you didn't know) kept taking the water we have on our table and refilling her water bottles. Embarrassing! 


             This is day 2. I forgot what we were waiting for :-/


               Fancy day! During out 5 day stay, one day was designated for formal attire. This picture is from the "family friendly" comedy show. I thought it would be cheesy but it was good. It wasn't pretty good, great, or hilarious. Just good.


                Formal attire dinner! Our dinner seats were all the way in the back of the boat and on the 3rd floor. This is a fantastic family picture... it's not perfect though :( brother.... D':


                 If you are wondering what a "space rat" is, it is a creature that comes in from our balcony (if the door is unlocked) and bites us (or punches us with it's nose) during the night. Chubs has a wild imagination.


               We got so antsy, that we decided to take a swim on the deck. The water in the pool was COLD! Frigid cold. Chubster's toes are the main focus in the picture for some strange reason.


               We got to see these cutie towel animals on our bed every night. Somedays there would be dinosaurs, bunnies, monkeys, etc. Chubs was so obsessed with them. To our surprise, Dad actually spent money and bought Chubs a Towel Creation book. That's probably the only book she read this summer.


                Hmm... missing some photos. Anyways, this is us in the Citadel fort in Halifax. This is our "space rat" pose. We yell "1-2-3 SPACE RATS" and strike this pose. Oh yeah :)


                  My angry dad, pretty mom, and silly Chubs. This cannon is huge!!!!!!!


                Yum! Strawberry popsicle! The Citadel fort was made in a star shape so if one army guy is being attacked the army guys buddy can protect him from the side!


              Peggy's Cove was so beautiful! The rocks were huge and the water was mesmerizing. That was a cute little sight seeing attraction. <3


Btw: I HATE throw up


             Me and Chubs at a animal towel tutorial seminar. I told you she was obsessed.


             Here's the soup that my family got addicted to... and all the other Chinese people on the boat :/



                That's right! My Chubs was up there performing a magic trick! After the performance, she told me it was all her. psh!

Don't Wet Your Pants (again)



Don't Wet Your Pants!

             
            Sorry, no "My Week in Photos." I know based on my poll that three people like my life in photos. Yay. You don't really want to see this past week in photos. Everyday was the same. Wake up, eat, work, eat, nap, eat, sleep.

           OMG. I don't use that acronym often, but this is totally worth it! I collaborated with my fellow blogger (thesnapshotcorner.blogspot.com) /cousin (and Chubs) on this awesome music video. That's why I told you to not wet your pants. This is the absolute best video I have ever edited! I am so excited to show you guys but, I didn't upload it yet. Tee hee. It is coming soon though! Very soon. Like maybe tomorrow.
           Some of you might not know this, but when Cuz, Chubs, and I were younger, we made a lot of music videos with Windows Movie Maker. We haven't made a new one in 2 years. Our video editing program upgraded, our editing skills enhanced, and hello?! We're teens now! Time flies! If you want to see those embarrassing amateur videos we made when we were younger, comment on below and beg because those are mortifying!

           Another last minute OMG. I am considering on getting a facebook!! Keep a look out!

My Week in Photos


                 Awwww! My Chubs is getting her braces on! She would always tell me that my teeth are in cages. Now, her teeth are in cages for at least 2 years.
               

               I finally got to go to the beach! Chubs and I always wanted to do "beachnastics" (beach + gymnastics) and we got the chance to! I'm not sure what this move is called though :-/ It looks like we are trying to spell out the word "yo"


               Oh Chubs. I always knew you were crazy... but not THIS crazy. Chubster goes through several "guy singer" phases a month. She has a shirt with Austin Mahone's face on it. NOW, I have to see this guy every morning! Clearly, I'm not a hater :)  

              I could never miss a week without seeing my Magster. That day, we went to the mall, we ran a bit, and ate cheesedoodles (our snack.) I'm kind of craving some right now...


              Oh yeaaah :)

   

                 Yummm. Almost forgot! I bought mod podge (or how some little kids would pronounce it: mudge fudge) at Michaels!! This book is my sketchbook. I wanted to decorate it somehow because it was just black. I found this triangle idea online and decided to put it to action! This would be perfect for a "back to school" d.i.y. The pictures are from one Times magazine. I hope this inspired you!!

My Week in Photos


           This is me showing my brother his first Michelle Phan tutorials. Of course this is after I had to watch his NBA top ten videos.


               Made blueberry pie and cucumber eye pads (two completely random things) with Lina. The pie came out watery, but the crust still tasted good!


                Now that Libs and I are working at the same place, we can have lunch together! Unfortunately, it started to rain when we were walking back.


                   Chubs and I saw a new nail tutorial video of Bubzbeauty and had to try it out. Biscuit was just chilling in his crib next to us. AWWWW.


                 This is my dad attempting to use a curling iron on a very nervous Chubster (holding a rabbit mirror <3)


                After a year, I finally caved into getting a hair cut. It's definitely shorter, but healthier!!! If you have a lot of split ends, get a trim... fast!


                Chubster is getting into running with me and my dad. This was her first 3 mile run! She didn't do too bad!! Go Chubs!
             

                So sad to have y brother gone for a month and a half :( Now I have no one to watch and make funny comments on Michelle Phan tutorials with. I'm going to miss you brother! Make a lot of friends!!! P.s That's granny/pau pau right there!!!! or I like to call her, an old version of Chubster.

My Week in Photos


                   This is more from last week, but this is a picture with my Chubs at a Korean noodle restaurant. PLEASE ignore my sister's shirt. You'll burn your eyes if you stare at it for too long.


                 I made a new "Day with my Friends" video which I probably won't post. We took Chubs for a run for her very first time! She did pretty well until she started burning up under the sun :(


             Speaking of videos, "July Favorites" was just published this week! The summer is giving me a lot of time to chill near my air conditioner and edit videos. What can be better than that?


                 Sibling photo alert! This was just on a typical Sunday after church. I'm wearing a new dress because I got interviewed for a volunteer job! Yay for community service hours.


             Made it to another road trip down to Albany. The little ramp near my knees is for ducks to walk on. Cute right?! 


                Oh my face... Oh my dads face! We stopped by for some Chili's in Albany. If you ever get the chance, order sweet potato fries! They were so good. Just showing my love towards my fantastic daddy!

July Favorites

                  I'm trying this new tag which is the favorites video. Sorry if this bores you guys. I really wanted to try something like this out. On top of that, I was really hot up there in my room! We are currently in a heat wave! Did you know that? You probably did. I hope this video was at least interesting. If it wasn't you can tell me :) For real! Just to let you know though, this video was really fun to edit! I hope you enjoyed this video!!



     I know, I know. I'm hypocritical. E-O-S is okay to say just as eos. BOTH are okay, not weird :)

My Week in Photos



          There has to come a day when you and your siblings take selfies for the whole afternoon.  Well, it wouldn't have taken the whole afternoon if Biscuit would've just cooperated. Finally, we got this nice shot of all of us looking into the camera :) I have no clue how Chubster ended up in that pose.


               It was suppose to thunderstorm this day, but thank God it didn't! I had a really fun time.


             I spent the my weekend on a youth retreat with these lovely girls. I'm so glad I went to this retreat and would love to do this again. God really spoke to me in a way that I didn't know was possible. Experience: encouraging. Sorry my shirt looks so weird (private information on it)


               Right after the retreat, I went directly from my house to on the road (again). Taking a rest stop at Subways during our 8 hour trip to Cleveland, Ohio. I look pretty hungry in this picture... so does Chubs. Even though our car ride was long, it always helps to bring along a best friend :)


                  We finally arrived at Cleveland, Ohio to visit my mom's uncle from Taiwan. This picture was taken with Lake Erie and the FirstEnergy stadium as our background!


                  Again, I was wearing the shirt with "information" on it and had to hide it. Chubs and I just made it a twin photo by turning our shirts backwards. As you can see, we are in our hotel right now. And there is my mom in the background. Lovely. Can't wait to go home though, I'm exhausted :(

My Week in Photos


               Running by yourself... well ... it's just running by yourself. However, running with friends is a lot better. This was on a humid Sunday afternoon. I revisited the trail where I had my first (and last!) race. Running on that trail was an interesting experience but this time, there wasn't any pressure. Then we ran on a trial that I'd never been to before and boy was that long! I had a lot of fun and would love to do this again!


              Saturday night sky. Have you seen the moon this bright? When I was little, I never believed people when they told me that the moon glowed because the sun was behind it. That night, I saw how it all made sense. 


              My week was filled with revisiting the past! Chubster and I used to dress up when we were little and have themes for each round we were competing in. Of course we just had to relive those great times. What is different than the past was that now, we smack talk each other into thinking which outfit was better (clearly mine.) P.s Chubster totally copied my pom poms >:O This picture was the "cheerleader round." 


               One thing you must know about Biscuit would be that he LOVES eggs. Even if you just start boiling an egg, he would start gravitating towards the kitchen and stare at you. Biscuit would do anything for those eggs. One day, I made a boiled egg and ate it. When I was walking towards the stairs, Biscuit followed me. He was waiting for me to give him his portion. I take my eos (lip balm) and start using it while Biscuit's eyes follow the lip balms movement. Curious in what he might do, I drop the eos on the floor and Biscuit thinks it is an egg. Face palm.


              My dad and I went out (just the two of us :) to eat some awesome Korean food. I mean look! These are just the complementary side dishes! After that meal, my dad and I held each other for support as we waddled back into the car.
