Building a shed!

Our house is tiny so we are building a temporary shed to hold our stuff.  Then eventually converting garage into a room with lots of closet space. 
Why do we need this closet space?
Is it because there are three women in this family?
Not really...My dad actually has helllaaaa clothes.  He never throws the old ones away and has so many hobbies: his golf clothes, his hiking gear for all four seasons, his summer suit sets, his winter suit sets....My old room is filled with his clothes and I only have two small drawers of my things.  Hahahahah I love my dad.
This is me sticking my head into the cement maker after harvesting some veggies in our backyard (hence the hat). 

Eyelashes

I considered wearing false eyelashes for the first time to an outing in SF.
I looked ridiculous.  So I taped it on Sonic. It looked better on him.

Happiness...

I love my mom's cooking.

Dad is back home!

After going to Singapore and making a stop in Japan, dad is finally home.  Can't believe how strong my dad is mentally and physically and spiritually.  This man is almost 60 but he's doing all these business trips.  I am always so thankful to him and God.
My dad....he always brings us something back.  Ever since I could remember, he ALWAYS brought back gifts and it always felt so exciting and special--that he was thinking of us and wanted to bring a piece of his experience to us.  I recall...beautifully illustrated Serendipity books from Europe, Mongolian toy horse made out of Mongolian horse hair, Russian dolls and eggs, cute Korean hair pins, fancy watches (I have at least 6), exclusive Japanese camera cases, to little trinkets and souvenirs. 
This time he brought Japanese crackers and cookies.  We love their packaging so much that the gift is 50% the thrill of unwrapping it and 50% actual gift.  It's literally a work of art!
Ps. Singaporean money is crazy!  Feels like plastic!

Every morning

This guy sneaks into my room and sleeps on the mat or my sweatshirt, then gets super excited when I wake up.  Here is my little donut sleeping and waiting for me to get up.  Please excuse the clutter...still unpacking and organizing.

Linklater's Boyhood

Not my favorite of his, but it was really good.  I love how he uses the same cast as their same character across the years.  Script is always on par.
Made me realize how ridiculously easy I had it growing up...
Watched the movie at the small and old movie theatre in Palo Alto.  I remember watching the indie/european movies with my middle school friends there.  Fond memories :)
Can't believe they still give out free movie posters!

When I’m in writing mode for a novel, I get up at 4 am and work five to six hours. In the afternoon, I run for 10 km or swim 1500 m, or do b...
