Cancun, Mexico October 24, 2012

From the first time we visited Cancun, it has always been great. The funny things is whenever we are telling people we are going there, people either think we are crazy party animals or we are putting ourselves in danger because of what the news usually report about Mexico. However, the truth is: NO, you don’t have to go during spring break and get drunk every night like those fun-loving kids, and NO, it is very safe to travel in Cancun as long as you are not too adventurous to roaming around some unknown town where’s no sight of any English writings at all ( think about the scenes we see in a typical vacation gone wrong type of horror movies). These are some of the places we visited, and highly recommend for you to check them out also:

Tulum, a Pre-Columbia Maya ruin that used to be a major port for Coba.

Xel-Ha Park, an all-inclusive water park that has saltwater lazy river, restaurants, and other water activities.

Valladolid, a small town that is on the way to Chichen Itza.

Chichen Itza, one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Isla Mujeres, the Island of Women. A short ferry ride from three ports ( Puerto Juarez, Grand Puerto, Punta Sam).

Less than 2 more months to go!! October 19, 2012

Week 33, with this little life growing so fast inside of my expanding belly. We realize how blessed we are with this whole pregnancy. No sickness, no bloating and crazy amount of energy. Like my husband says everyday, he can’t wait for us to have another one!.. but before all the diaper changing, breastfeeding and of course the sleepless nights, I want to reflect and remember all the wonder memories that we had during the past eight month about being pregnant.

 

Whether being pregnant or not… beauty is essential! February 9, 2012

Filed under: Cheers !! — Claire @ 7:04 pm

This is year is Chinese horoscope of the dragon, and for some people it is believed that this is the golden year to have to a baby. A dragon baby that is. After being married for a couple of years already, and my husband’s constantly declaration ( or should I say harassment) of how much he desires a baby, I decide to give in and start trying. Things like this is not all decided by us, but actually all depends on what God decides to bless us with. Therefore, with that mind on the side, I decide to research and try different products that is supposedly ok/good to use when you are pregnant before it actually happens. I am sure mostly of them will be beauty or personal care products, because let’s face it, we can’t live without them, and even if we are knocked up, we still need to take care of ourselves. :)

 

St. John’s — gotta love the USVI February 8, 2012

Filed under: Let's Pack and GO — Claire @ 12:21 am

love love the beach… and that’s why this vacation was so perfect…but it certainly did not start out perfect.  It was intended for a group trip and then two of the people got sick last minute. With the last minute cancellation of “participants”, and also the storm, which lead to canceled flights. I ended up arriving this vacation all by myself! I thought I was going to be so freaking bored, but when I arrived there, it was ahh…. totally going to enjoy this place before my husband arrives. Just look at the pictures.

On May 8, 2010, one of my really good friends got married at the Hotel Alexis in Seattle downtown. And the wedding was just so beautiful and amazingly sweet. Not only because the bride and groom have great taste, also seeing two wonderful people found true love in each other really made me teary eyed the whole time.. Just want to share some pictures of this unforgettable wedding:

Congratulations.. my friends… We wish you a lifelong of happiness, love and health.

xoxo

New York City May 4, 2010

Big city.. big life… but we loved it..

Three of us all were born in a big city (Taipei, Shanghai & Beijing) who moved to Seattle, felt like we were home as soon as we landed in JFK airport. After all night on the plane with a red eye flight, we were all tired, but the excitement of this trip definitely kept us supa awake. Next stop, the W hotel and food… yeah…
