Exciting New Year!

2012 is going to be a GREAT year — I can feel it! It’s the year of the Dragon, which is awesome for us rats! Goong Hei Faht Choy! I wish you and your loved ones a prosperous, fantastically lucky, and healthy year full of love and joy. <3

I’m incredibly optimistic about this year and the things to come. I’m revisiting some of my favorite hobbies. This year, I’m making an effort to take more pics, write more, and etch out much more time for family and friends by planning fun events. Can’t wait! ^_^

Here are some recent pics that make me happy. Enjoy!

Brent and I at visiting the wonderful aquarium at the SF Academy of Science in late-December

Taking Phuong out to pig out at my favorite burger joint at the moment, True Burger!

New Years Eve with some of my favorite peeps from high school at The New Parish

I love these ladies. This totally captures our energy!

Cutie!

How could I resist?

Mussels from Slow, an incredibly delicious restaurant in Berkeley that supports "slow food" (opposite of fast food), uses local organic goods, and is still very affordable. My hidden gem in Berkeley!

Homemade smores from Phil's Sliders in Berkeley. Comes with a glass of milk! Mmmmmmmmm good!

An intriguing building at 16th & Carolina St. in SF

Lights at the club turn on. "THAT'S what y'all look like?"

Sesame creme brulee at Yoshi's Oakland. Yum.

Baking again! Made some Maple Syrup Pancake Muffins (per JoytheBaker.com). We'll see if they're tasty :o

Hallo, love. <3

    Great pictures and awesome new site design! (I especially love this sexy comment form!)

    Those food photos especially had me drooling… will definitely have to check out Slow and the s’mores at Phil’s Sliders! :D

      Thank you, Misono! Slow and Phil’s Sliders are rather close to each other so you can try both on the same day! :D

      Thanks for your feedback on the new site! The comment form is mostly the TwentyEleven style — shh! :D I’m also responding via the WP iPhone app. Not sure how this will look…

      <3s!
