Pigging out on Family Trip!

First off... let me justify my pigging out during this trip with my family... I went white water rafting down Ocoee River for 3 hours... I deserved all the yummies that followed the next couple of days... :) Here's half of my trip down the river with the names of the rapids :)

Ok... and now onto the food! Due do the fact that moving lots of pictures around can be quite... painful... these pictures are at random... not in the order they were consumed (over 3 days...)

my first Seafood Gumbo

This was SOOOOOO awesome with 8 shrimps, 4 oyster and some crab meat... It was a very generous portion that made someboddy VERY happy, there was also a bit of rice at the bottom :)

Escargots + pastry

 Very oily, but the escargots were delicious~

Anywhere but here!

I missed the warm beach sand, cool breeze and sunshine...

1st Vacation!!! :D

Em and I went on out first 'vacation' on the 9th! Punta Cana was awesome!!

We went snorkeling, para-sailing, banana boat, swimming with sharks, got massages with stingrays, walking along a beautiful white sand beach, ate to our hearts content every day we were there... and slept a lot! :)

It was a truly relaxing week and was awesome until the last few hours... I was panicking like crazy because we didn't have our boarding passes printed... turns out they were going to print it for us at the airport... *phew*

I would do this trip again, but next time I would like to go with friends also... There were so many activities that you simply cannot do as a couple!

A new leaf~

I'm back!!! this posting is about 6+ months late, but it is better late than never, right?

Setting: at work, just found that I lost a button~ (hopefully no one will notice)
Mood: starving, usually when I have breakfast I'm super hungry for lunch~
Thought: lucky -

Quick update about everything in the past... year? (not gonna update the past 5 years cuz I can't remember that far back... typical...)

Was on a two month vacation in China, lots of pictures and shopping done (a few mosquito bites as well... they were so poisonous!) Ooohh and I got my first LV bag ^^ well my mommy got it for me as a cheering up gift but... its minez! ^__________^ women~~ and our love for bags! buhaahhaa....

I'm finally done uni!! Officially graduated and had my convocation on November 11th 2008. I was soo happy to be finally done that I was in tears~ Daddy was sooo proud of me ^^

When I came back the whole world was in recession... I thought I'd never find a job... But then I started talking to Janet again, and I started working at Rainbow Jade in Erin Mills, that lasted about 3 months before I found my current full-time. On March 6th, 2009 I started my first full time job as a bilingual receptionist/administrative assistant. :) Long title for a small part. But I didn't think its too bad. There are some nice ppl here and the workload is manageable. I am happy to have stability.

I seem to have left out the most important change this past year... But no of course not~ He consumes my day and night. And if I allow it I will be talking about him all the time. Somewhere and somehow in the month of December 2008 I found Emmery. We've been happily in love since. :)

~lots pics of us and the things we've done~

Sometimes it can take a long time to find yourself... I think I am finally figuring out what I want and need in life :) Lots of smiless~~
