I found this in Fukuoka. I already knew that I would take it home with me even before I took it in my hands. What I didn't know about was it is K&Company products, so I was sure that I wouldn't regret about spending money on this when I saw the logo. Let me introduce my new partner, SMASH*!<br />

It's a scrapbook / journal book. Very cute inside, a lot of pages with all different pattern papers. They have some types, it has all different color on the side of binders. I bought a pink one "Pretty Pink" which is all pretty girly theme pattern papers inside, and a mint green one "Baby" which is obviously the baby theme. The inside of pink one is like this;<br />

<br />
It's just a few of them here but actually this book contains a lot of pages! For a scrapbooker like me would feel happy just looking at blank pages of this book!<br />
<br />
Each book comes with this awesome pen which is a pen on one side and a stick glue on the other side!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I paid about 2000yen, I think. It's not bad at all. I also bought a pink pen, a blue pen, and some of their accessories.<br />
<br />
So after I brought this babies home, of course I did some research about this products. I guess it's popular in the states (for scrapbookers, at least), and there are many you tube videos of how to and all. This one is the official one;<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://3.gvt0.com/vi/_PFsArr4Z1s/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_PFsArr4Z1s&fs=1&source=uds" />

<br />
It looks so fun! Doesn't it?? I can watch this video over and over! I love scrapbook, and I can't help checking out new products though I've done almost nothing lately. And I realized that the style has been changed a lil bit, and I think I like this style better. Again, I haven't gotten a chance to try these new style, as this video said "MESSY & Beautiful". It's almost like teenager's journal. I sure need to practice my handwriting and doodling some cuties.<br />
<br />
I just wish there was a good (and not so expensive) portable photo printer for iPhone, so I can take some snap shots print them out right there, and SMASH those in it. I may just buy <a href="http://www.japantrendshop.com/instax-mini-7s-cheki-camera-from-fujifilm-p-403.html" target="_blank">Cheki</a>...<br />
<br />
Oh, and one thing I regret, I should have bought ALL the SMASH* products there in Fukuoka... I guess I just have to ask my hubby to take me back there sometime VERY soon...lol<br />

Sadly I posted only a few this couple of years. Well, I've always wanted to blog. It's just... it's just... it's just my stupid OCD!!! I had been thinking about changing my blog looks, just didn't have enough time to myself. It's not like I make background and all, but couldn't find something click to my image. Then every time there was something I wanted to blog about, I opened my blog app and almost start to type... But my blog had still same old look, that really turned me off from blog spirits.<br />
<br />
But today, thanks to <a href="http://www.leeloublogs.blogspot.jp/">Leelou Blogs</a>, I found the layout what I like very much! This is pretty and colorful! Yay! There are a lot more wonderful layout in her blog.<br />
<br />
So, now do I really blog more often? Again, I'd love to. I really need to talk to myself (that's what this blog for, it's all about self-satisfaction), I really need some time to myself! My hubby bought me a very nice camera (technically I ordered it and told him that's what I want for Christmas present, but that counts), have been buying A LOT of scrapbook collection which I haven't opened most of it, reading books and blogs I would like to share, planning to cook some awesome recipes... but been super duper busy and when I come home, I just want to relax with my family... (more like dead on the couch...)<br />
<br />
But now my blog is ready with new look, I should make my progress on my to-do list one by one.;))Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00802977403834199649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31439082826937368.post-38669111149280083902012-01-10T14:57:00.001-10:002012-05-21T23:40:03.509-10:00iPad2 n Digital ScrapbookingSo I got iPad2. This time, it's unlimited 3G connection so I can use Internet anywhere. And also this time, I picked Smart Cover (Pink one!) so it's not too big in my purse. Now I can take it everywhere.:))
Then I wondered... "What do I want to do on iPad?"
So I was App surfing (checking out Apps in App store. It's MAKInglish if you ask:D) and I found this cool App for Digital Scrapbook called Coolibah.
Coolibah is a free app, comes with free Digital Scrapbook kit. If you want more variety of frames, borders, alphabets, embellishments, and a lot of backgrounds, they have in-app purchase kits and all. It costs only $0.99 per kit/set. Only down side about this app is, because those kits are kinda heavy so it takes some times loading. I strongly recommend to save the page you've finished on iPad so you don't lose it if the app freezes and you have to re-install. (It happened on me once so far, which I didn't know the other solution so I re-install it. All the kits I bought are still safe but the page I made was gone. Fortunately I saved it on my iPad.) There is other solution according to their website, which is very useful.
Anyway this is the page I made yesterday on the bus to work, took only 30 minutes.
<br />

Well, now talk about Digital Scrapbooking on iPad2... I don't think the camera on iPad2 is good at all. Maybe okay for some snapshots or maybe in some locations like sunny outside. But not good enough to make Digital Scrapbook page, I would say.
I have a memory card reader for iPad so I used that to load the pictures on the layout above. The pictures taken with iPhone should be okay too I think. Or you can use iCloud. Upload on your PC and send them via iCloud. If you use dSLR then you should resize the images before save it to iCloud so it doesn't take too much space on iCloud. There are some free softwares that resize multiple pictures at the time. I downloaded this one called JTrim and it was very easy to use.
I almost gave up doing these staff like Digital Scrapbook and all on iPad, but I guess everything works well on iPad2. I am glad that I got it!

It has been crazy, that's for sure...<br /><br />We finally went back to Tokyo! Yay! We saw all my family there, shopped in my town Shibuya, went to see Tokyo Tower, went to TDL... Then the very next day after the TDL... The massive earthquake happened... We were in the old military building where we were staying when the earthquake hit. The building shook crazy, we tried to evacuate from the building, Chris got Ilah, John could walk his way out all by himself, but Michele was terrified and she couldn't move. So I picked her up and tried to go down the stairs. We were on the 4th floor, the building didn't stop shaking, all I could think was to get her out of here. So I ran down the stairs, didn't realize that the stairs were moving bad. Then I fell down the stairs, the gentleman behind me picked Michele up and took her downstairs. I tried to get up then I noticed that I hurt my ankle. It didn't help me go down the stairs faster at all. But made it to the exit of the building...<br /><br />So we couldn't stay there anymore, we went to my cousin's house which it usually takes about 20mins to get there from where the hotel at, but obviously everybody was going home, trains were not working, so... It took 10 hours...<br /><br />Anyway, we were safe after all. Right after we came home, me n Chris celebrated our 8th anniversary. Then I got a job!lol So now I work in Huis Ten Bosch, the Dutch theme park in Sasebo, Japan. My work is in this park, called English Square. Basically it's the place where Japanese people can experience things in English. Not totally a school, but we have a lot of customers using as school trips. Which all students had great times... It's been crazy busy as far as my work schedule goes, but I think I like my work. I've met so many people, I can use my talent here, pay is not bad either.<br /><br />Only concern is I cannot spend as much time with my family as before. Sometime I get to talk to kids only in the morning. I feel very bad for them. Well kids actually kinda like me working in Huis Ten Bosch tho, so they can come visit me here...<br /><br />I also lost "me" time. Then I still buy things for scrapbook n stuff.lol I hope I can find some time for that... Eventually...</span><br />

Haha, it sounds just like me! Well, I wanna make something, but I can knit only straight. Then I found this circular knitting needle. It's a loop shaped and two short needles are connected, so it's perfect to make knit hats.(then again, another knit hat?lol)<br />
<br />

Oh well, it's getting really cold lately, n since I got haircut, it's easier for me to just put a hat on to hide my messy hair, so I will need some of it. But I would like to learn to knit more than just knit hats... Is there any classes around here?<br />

This my Favorite of Favorites, THE Chocolate Donut from Pompadour Bakery! I hadn't had it for... over 7yrs? I really really love this donuts. Unfortunately I couldn't find this bakery in Sasebo. But I found it in Nagasaki!!! Yay!!! I got 2 for me, 1 for John n 1 for Michele. And we ate it all...<br />

I usually don't like to wear socks all day. All this time, I thought that's because my feet get too hot. But I found out that my toes wanted a lol privacy from other toes.lol Now I can still wear my flip-flops with my socks on!!<br />

It'd been 5yrs since last time we had a real winter time(if I count out San Diego too, cuz it still was not this cold!), it'd been 7yrs since last time I had Japanese winter. So I've almost forgot what it's like in this face rippin cold air. But Japanese ppl are very smart when it comes to "stay warm but not look like stuffing doll".<br />
<br />
Heat tech. They made this material very thin but very warm. With this heat tech material, this inner shirts are great for us females, we can wear these without look fatter.lol I already bought some of it, n I am wearing today. It sure is warm n comfortable. They have many colors n designs now, so it looks just like regular long shirts n you can coordinate n all, but it much warmer than regular shirts.<br />
<br />
Now, they didn't just make shirts with this Heat tech material. They made this down jacket with this Heat Teck, which is called Ultra Light Premium Down Jacket. I got one for me, one for John, n one for Michele. I was gonna get for my hubby as well, but all the sizes they have are "Japanese Size" which is way too small for American guys' shoulders n arms. *I am pretty sure they sell American size at UNIQLO in N.Y. If you are interested. (UNIQLO is Japanese Brand which is as known as inexpensive brand, n is most popular brand when it comes to Heat Teck kind. They've opened the store in N.Y. sometime this year.)<br />
<br />
I haven't started to wear mine yet, but kids are already wearing because morning is freezing cold everyday. It's still November, which means it still will be colder, but we might be okay with this Heat tech thing this winter.;))<br />

Michele was singing and dancing for her sister cuz the baby was crying... that's what she said.lol<br />
<br />
Michele has been very helpful. Yea, sometimes too much, but she's never even been jealous of her. When Ilah is crying, she sings for her, talks to her, dances for her, n she's very patient. Ilah loves Michele too. When Michele keeps singing for her, she really stops crying. I guess it won't be long until they start to sleep in the same room.:))<br />

Which is pretty cool for kids, not so much for patents.lol For me, you know I am just a big kid, so I just enjoy dressing them up!<br />
<br />
So I was thinking that Jinbei(Old Japanese style room wear, which now they sell all kinda character ones for kids) would be nice. Because it was about high 70s degrees yesterday. Then this morning, it dropped to below 60 degrees all of sudden! Jinbei is most likely for summer. Hmmm... I decided to put long sleeve n long pants underneath their Jinbei. And... It looks so silly!!<br />
<br />
OK, this is John.<br />

They like it. It's fun to wear like this sometimes.:)) Now, the crazy week is not finished yet. Tomorrow is Crazy Hat day. What shall I do...?;))<br />

There's a lot of cute things you see here in Japan. Like, as you know, Hello Kitty is made in Japan. After I came back to Japan, this new character caught my attention...<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/07/2446.jpg"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/07/s_2446.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a></center><br />
This is Rilakkuma. "Kuma" means bear in Japanese. So this was named as "relax bear" - give us relax by just looking at him, relax-kuma, then Rilakkuma.lol<br />
<br />
They sell a lot of Rilakkuma items. I always have to fight myself to ignore from this cute face at stores. Oh well, I lost this time, so did my mother...lol so we bought the stuffing Rillakuma for Michele, n I bought this for myself.<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/07/2447.jpg"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/07/s_2447.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a></center><br />
Now this is my favorite mug cup. I don't drink coffee in regular basis, but it's getting chilly all of sudden lately, n I enjoy instant mocha in this mug cup every morning now. N my mom bought this lilttle pouch.<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/07/2448.jpg"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/07/s_2448.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a></center><br />
N this is the cute part, its' back...<br />

Haha, yea my mom is late 60s n she has this in her bag! But this bear really makes us smile! Now he is Michele's favorite too.<br />
<br />

Well... This is actually one of kits for kids to make. Of course my excuse was "I want to do this with Michele!" Yea, right...<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/07/2344.jpg"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/07/s_2344.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a></center><br />
It was not that difficult though. Michele helped me, so technically I didn't lie.lol The package comes with 4 colors of light weight clay, two types of molds, and some accessory kits. It doesn't even make messy either. After dried, it is like sponge feel. I think I am gonna make more n maybe giveaway? Would you like to get one?;)) <br />

In this park, we could see n learn how people lived in Yayoi era which is about 2000 years ago, here in Japan. Wow, 2000 years ago, can you believe that? Well, I am not really good at history n all, but I know I learned about this Yayoi era, that doesn't mean I remember what I learned.lol<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/02/1219.jpg"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/02/s_1219.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a></center><br />
Anyway there are a lot to see, like the buildings they built same way as 2000 years ago. It actually really impressive that they could built those 2000years ago. Those entrance is very low, which tells us how short they were.<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/02/1236.jpg"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/02/s_1236.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a></center><br />

There's some activities for all family to do too. We tried one workshop, stone pendant making. It took about an hour, it was a little difficult for Michele, but John could make one with our help. It was pretty cool. We all loved the pendants we made.<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/02/1250.jpg"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/02/s_1250.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a></center><br />
N it was very good exercise too...lol Inside park is very big, just like acutual villages. We enjoyed walking inside park. Well, it was very humid today, but we could still feel some autumn, we definitely felt the nature.<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/02/1254.jpg"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/02/s_1254.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a></center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/02/1260.jpg"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/02/s_1260.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a></center><br />
We would strongly recommend this park, it's very family friendly, very cheap, very clean, a lot to see. The stuffs are all nice, some of them even speak English n teach us about this Yayoi era. It's about 45 mins way from Sasebo area, on the way to Fukuoka. You can visit their web site to see more information from the link below!;))<br />

"I heart" series, just like "I heart N.Y.", but this one is MaMa, PaPa n Family instead of N.Y., of course.<br />
<br />
In Japan, most of lil kids call their mom n dad "mama" n "papa". No, it's not Japanese(obviously!), as you know we use a lot of mix language, which I call Japanglish. So this "papa" means daddy.<br />
<br />
Anyway, when we buy these kind stuff, there's always a silence battle between me n my hubby. Yes, which one we will buy "I heart MaMa" or "I heart PaPa" is what we battle for. First we grab same thing, except the word after the heart. When we can buy both, then we get both, like the pacifiers n baby bottles we bought. But if we wanna buy only one... Yea, we wouldn't fight or argue at store, especially it's about baby clothes, but there sure is a cold war going on between us.lmao<br />
<br />
So we wanted to buy only one clothes for Baby Ilah. Of course our eyes were on "I heart ...". Let's see, which one we got...?<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/29/812.jpg"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/29/s_812.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a></center><br />
I let him have it for this one.lol Actually I thought, obviously I am always with her, I am the one who's gonna take her around everywhere. So, i think it's cute of her to show her love to her daddy. When I picked this one, he said "Are you sure?"lol<br />
<br />
N I put this one on her today, so I took pics n sent it to him. I thought that picture would make him smile when he's working hard. But he didn't think so. Later he called me n said "I'm a lil pissed because you put the clothes on her when I am not around!"lmao I guess he wants it all.lol So I said "well, it's just a clothes, why don't you wash it n put it on her again when you take her somewhere?"lol Haha, he's not really mad, of course. But maybe he wanted her to wear that when she's with him! Don't worry, PaPa. She heart you always!;))<br />

Not really strong but looks like it's gonna rain all day. It was still very hot just a few days ago, n all of sudden it got cold. The weather news said that's because of one typhoon which won't hit here, just pushing cold air.<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/26/3219.jpg"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/26/s_3219.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a></center><br />
Because of this sudden cold weather, our kids got cold too. Michele got it first, but as usual, she was just fine by the next day. Poor John got a cold from her, looks like his cold is worse then hers. He couldn't go to school today.<br />
<br />
I definitely feel that we are back to 4 seasons place. In Hawaii, it was always hot or warm, at least, like summer all year long. Which, it was nice too. But we kinda missed 4 seasons.<br />
<br />
It's chilly today, but listening the raining sound in the house just let me relax... I like it.;))<br />

N my hubby is like my best friend. We are very positive, easy-going people, n we share almost everything. That's probably because my hubby is very flexible person, I mean he's actually not stubborn.

<br />
I am very proud of my hubby! He is a very good challenger. He's been trying so many new stuffs since we moved to Japan. He even started his own blog! Wow, now we really are a geek couple!<br />

To be honest, I was very stressed out with the pregnancy.lol Then our pretty princess is finally born, I am double happy(having her n ending the pregnancy). Special Positive Lady is baaaaack!<br /><br />OK, this time's Positive Thoughts sounds like just another tip from a magazine, huh? When I see those article, I always think that "well, easy to say that," even though it actually is easy for me. I always find something new, n get excited. Some people might say "it's important to finish it" or "you gotta continue doing one thing". I understand that, but I think... Most important thing is to start something. You never know if you really like it or not till you actually try it, right?<br /><br /><div> <b><i>#5 Find Your Hobby</i></b><br /><br />I would say, your hobby can be changed again n again. Your hobby can be "trying a new thing" or "finding my hobby". Say "My hobby is finding a new hobby."lol<br /><br />I think, I don't have to be good at it if I am having fun doing it. That is very important.;)) But first, I gotta try.<br /><br />I was watching a TV show, one professor said that it's good to create something to prevent Alzheimer's disease. Not only because using fingers n brain, but also getting good reaction is good for brain. See? Not only we can be positive, but we also can stay young!lmao<br /><br />I have a lot of things I would call "my hobby". I have so many, when I answer to those questions, I take some time to think which one I want to answer as my hobby.lol Like, this, blog for one, n as you can see photography... OK, I should say just "taking pictures".lol Speaking about taking pictures, I am so having fun with my camera! I always wanted "photography" as my hobby. Since I am a fake-perfectionist(I call myself a perfectionist, but actually not so much), I knew I won't be that good as a photographer. But I still, looking for new cameras at stores. Then I realized that I don't have to be good at it. Now I love taking pictures, I carry my camera all the time, n I love my pictures!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHRHNw_Z1PVd0vklMOe5TJl3YhPW2wl2W1TBvd-G6rxV0mR0sSgwLZQoPQsKpf-0g6GLo5IFbXy-bGT_DiljFbXrQsKR5CMfYMxaakbOTnXdK_TyyG53aMKtSYfU9sUIEzmFOrBNM5EA/s1600/P9221951.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHRHNw_Z1PVd0vklMOe5TJl3YhPW2wl2W1TBvd-G6rxV0mR0sSgwLZQoPQsKpf-0g6GLo5IFbXy-bGT_DiljFbXrQsKR5CMfYMxaakbOTnXdK_TyyG53aMKtSYfU9sUIEzmFOrBNM5EA/s320/P9221951.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520642066177934930" /></a><div><br /><center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/24/1005.jpg"><img src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/24/s_1005.jpg" border="0" width="281" height="210" style="margin:5px" /></a></center><br /><center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/24/1007.jpg"><img src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/24/s_1007.jpg" border="0" width="281" height="210" style="margin:5px" /></a></center><center><br /></center>Back to my hobby, I like spending time at book stores(which is NOT equal to love reading), try cooking some new recipes, reading blogs, scrapbook, making cards, making something or anything crafty...<br /><br />I also copy somebody else's hobby. Some people don't like to be copied, n I hate those people!!!lol OK, in that case, let me rephrase that, "getting an idea from somebody else".;)) It's great because, one - you are not alone when you start that, two - you can get tips from her, three - you can borrow the tools if needed. So copying somebody's hobby is NOT a bad thing.<br /><br />As a mother, I am not sure that if I want to say same thing to my kids though...lol Since they would want to start a difference thing every week if I said that, n we cannot afford it...

I love looking at it, I love taking pictures of it. Especially now, I carry my camera everywhere I go(n it's not even one of those tiny pocket size cameras), I just take pictures of the sky anytime I feel like it. Yea, I definitely look like a geek...(well, I am a geek.;))<br />

Actually I always wanted to take pictures of the sky. I thought that I need a special lens to take one. Well, I guess those professional photographers uses special lenses, but my camera does fabulous job too! It shows a beautiful color of the sky, just the way I like.<br />

I really believe that looking at the sky is make people happy n positive. First of all, looking up is a great way to stay positive. Then look at the sky. The sky has a lot of faces, colors, a lot of shapes of clouds... Sometimes you can see the sun light between the clouds, it's just amazing.<br />

Another Sky. Actually that is the title of a TV show in Japan. It's not all about the sky, more like travel kinda show. But I liked this title right away, because the sky is always difference, n I always look for another sky.<br />

So my hubby offered me a night off so I can get a good sleep last night. Of course I took it, I slept good last night, but... I gotta admit I missed her(so did my boobs!lol).<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/18/1048.jpg"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/18/s_1048.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a></center><br />
Tonight, my hubby offered me again, he said he would do it as long as he's off next day(what a nice hubby, huh?). Did I take it? No. I really missed her last night, I guess.<br />
<br />
<br />

She's sleeping right next by me now... She's so precious! I probably ask my hubby for a night off again(or not, if she will start to sleep all night soon), but not so often nor like 2 days in a row. I can sleep with her like this only now, I gotta enjoy this!<br />

I didn’t even know that there is Burger King in Japan, but what? All you can eat Burger King!? WHAT??? Well, unfortunately we don’t have Burger King in our area, I think. Maybe in Tokyo? But… Can you believe this?<br />
I really don’t think they do that in the States… or do they? I mean, they obviously think that Japanese won’t be able to eat that much, especially Whopper is huge compare to Japanese tiny burgers. That ad says, first you have to buy a meal, n if you are not full then you can get same size burger as much as you want. But if you don’t finish those, you have to pay for everything. I am not sure how it works, because those fast food restaurant, how can they check if a customer eat his order all by himself? Are they gonna stand there until he finishes? Or is there a special seat for that?(like Man vs. Food?)<br />
I wish I could go there n check, but I don’t know where’s the closest one from here. What are they gonna do if all hungry U.S. Military people who are very used to those huge Double or even Triple Whopper??? Hmmm… Maybe I want to check if there’s one in driving distance from here n let my hubby try…lolAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00802977403834199649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31439082826937368.post-48933968679951415792010-09-11T23:32:00.002-10:002010-09-11T23:35:09.927-10:00Driving 2 NagasakiWe got 2 nice cameras, we got a new stroller, I don't have heavy belly anymore... Why would we stay home in such a nice day? So we decided to go for a lil drive yesterday.<br /><br />We didn't really plan where, we left home around lunch time, we just headed to south. The first stop, the first place we found, was Bio Park which is a zoo where we can get really close to the animals. We've heard this is a very cool place. It sure was very cool.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/334.jpg"><img src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/s_334.jpg" border="0" width="281" height="210" style="margin:5px" /></a></center><br />We can feed animals, I mean, not throwing over the fence, but feed them directly from our hand, to animals like monkeys, flamingos, n even kangaroos. Which means, we can take pictures of them really close.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/335.jpg"><img src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/s_335.jpg" border="0" width="281" height="210" style="margin:5px" /></a></center><br />There's a flower dome n some beautiful butterflies are flying around. When I was a kid, I could see them anywhere, then I realized that I haven't seen them flying around for a long time.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/336.jpg"><img src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/s_336.jpg" border="0" width="281" height="210" style="margin:5px" /></a></center><br />After Bio Park, we could head back home, but it was still early so we decided to go lil more south, Nagasaki-city area. We don't know the area very well n we kinda got lost n going around here n there, but thanks to the tour-spot-handbook, we were able to see one of tourist spot, Dejima.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/337.jpg"><img src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/s_337.jpg" border="0" width="281" height="210" style="margin:5px" /></a></center><br />According to Wikipedia,(yes, I am not good with Japanese History...) Dejima<br />was a small fan-shaped artificial island built in the bay of Nagasaki in 1634. This island, which was formed by digging a canal through a small peninsula, remained as the single place of direct trade and exchange between Japan and Europe during the Edo period. Dejima was built to constrain foreign traders as part of "sakoku" self-imposed isolationist policy. Originally built to house Portuguese traders, it became a Dutch trading post from 1641 until 1853. Covering an area of 120 m x 75 m (9000 square meters, or 0.9 hectares) it became integrated in the city.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/338.jpg"><img src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/s_338.jpg" border="0" width="281" height="210" style="margin:5px" /></a></center><br />Alright, enough said about a lil history(I just copied n pasted anyway...lol). Actually it was very interesting for a person who has no knowridge about these stuff like me. Especially it was fun taking pictures of those old Japanese style interior.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/339.jpg"><img src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/s_339.jpg" border="0" width="281" height="210" style="margin:5px" /></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/340.jpg"><img src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/s_340.jpg" border="0" width="281" height="210" style="margin:5px" /></a></center><br />By the time we finished walking in Dejima, it was getting dark outside, actually there was nice breeze n felt like a lil walk. So next, we walk to the bay side, Dejima Wharf.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/341.jpg"><img src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/s_341.jpg" border="0" width="281" height="210" style="margin:5px" /></a></center><br />We found a great restaurant there too.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/342.jpg"><img src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/12/s_342.jpg" border="0" width="281" height="210" style="margin:5px" /></a></center><br />This is Japanese Sashimi restaurant named Kaisen Ichiba Nagasaki-Kou(means Seafood Market Nagasaki Bay). The service was great, n food was awesome! Of course the view was great too! The price was not so bad either, about ¥6000 for 5 of us(3 adults n 2 kids). So I was very satisfied. After dinner, we finally headed home.<br /><br />I love these lil car trips. I am glad that my hubby likes it too because he is the driver!lol<br /><br />- Posted from my iPad;))Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00802977403834199649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31439082826937368.post-13679326809994122542010-09-09T11:36:00.002-10:002012-05-21T23:02:39.845-10:00The Baby MomentI take pictures of Ilah everyday. It's fun because she makes a lot of faces n poses. I enjoy my new camera too. But I think, I want to keep every single moment of her as much as possible.<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/09/1951.jpg"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/09/s_1951.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a></center><br />
I was kinda same way with both of the other two. This baby time is so special, who wouldn't go crazy taking pictures? When John was a baby, because he was our first one, I couldn't wait for him to grow up. Everyday was a full of surprises, n I just wanted to see what's next. When we found that I got pregnant with Michele, I was happy because we definitely wanted at least 2 kids, but the same time, I felt a lil guilty to John. Because I was always with him, I was all "his mommy". So I was wondering how the thing would be changed? Can I share my love equally to our both children? Will John be still my first favorite? Or will I be busy with the baby? Will I be excited each moment with this baby too?<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/09/1952.jpg"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/09/s_1952.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a></center><br />
Then Michele was born. There was joy. Even the second baby, still everyday was a full of surprises, took pictures of her everyday, n John was great with her n made me proud. So I realized that there was nothing to worry about. I could naturally enjoy that new situation, our new born girl n her big brother, n watching their growth was very exciting.<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/09/1953.jpg"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/09/s_1953.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a></center><br />
Then I got pregnant with Ilah. Again, I knew I would fall in love with her once she's born, but I was already too happy with John n Michele so I couldn't really imagine how it will be with another baby. N Ilah was born. We know she'll be the last baby of ours. Then I realized that this will be the last time I can enjoy the precious time with the newborn. I feel that I don't want to miss anything, any moment with her. I mean, not just being with her enjoying n let the time past, but I feel that I want to keep something, leave something, every single day.<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/09/1954.jpg"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/09/09/s_1954.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a></center><br />
So I take pictures of her everyday. Make sure that I am not missing any of this baby moment. Not just take pictures, but find something very special each day, n keep everything in my camera. Haha, thanks to this technology n my new camera, it's very exciting n fun! <br />
