Go Uruguay!

Right before the World cup started this month, my lab co-workers and neighboring lab members all placed bets on which teams would be the winner for this event. Rather than being able to pick our own teams, we got assigned to the teams through lottery-style drawing, and my team happened to be Uruguay. So far they've been doing pretty well, heading off to round of 16. Go Uruguay! Make me proud! haha! Too bad South Africa didn't make it :(

A day out in the Anza-Borrego desert!

Just a few days ago, I was in the desert to see some wild flowers and hike around. Here are some pictures to share with you all =)

Happy new year!

It's been awhile since I've posted anyting here, but the latest updates are same old: still trying to get back in shape for my trip-- I've been slacking off from all the holiday feasts and vacationing in a tropical paradise. While I get back on track, here's to everyone for a happy 2010!

tick tock, tick tock....

Time seems to be passing by so fast these days. No news on my shop, as I haven't had much chance to work on it, but I am on my way of getting there. As for now, I'll be focusing more of my spare time on training for my hiking trip to Manchu Picchu and the Amazon rainforest next year. It'll be a challenging yet rewarding trip. So wish me luck!

craft exchange!

My friend and I did a craft exchange recently and the above items are what she made me (top left: heart decoration, bottom left: small ribbon pillow filled with lavender buds, bottom right: sea creature mobile, aren't they cute??)! If you are interested in her designs, check out her shop here. =)
