We'll try to share a little snippet of life in the previous months. I don't... Continue Reading →

There have been so many times in my life that I dreaded or avoided doing something because it was not in my plans or it was out of my comfort zone. But in the end, I'm glad I did it anyway. (To be honest, this is not always the case/result, but it's great when it... Continue Reading →

It was a one-hour metro ride to Disneyland. We took two transfers, and the last one looked like a Mickey Mouse metro because the handles were shaped like him and everything. And the windows were Mickey-shaped too. Keep reading to find out what we did on Day 4 of our Asia Adventures! Welcome to the... Continue Reading →
It was pouring rain with gusty winds and some thunder when we woke up. Fortunately, it didn’t stay this way for the entire day. We got to leave early and took the metro. It’s very breezy in there. And we also took a bus that was jerky as we were going around to the top... Continue Reading →
We walked to 85° Daily Cafe for some breakfast goodies. We went to a church in Tai Po and we were apparently well-known there because my great-grandpa founded the church and was a pastor.

Last year's trip had us in Oahu in early May. We realized after the trip that it was great timing. Kids were back in school from spring break but school was not out for summer break. It was a great relaxing trip. This year, however, we had quite the tiring trip to Hong Kong, not... Continue Reading →
[Note: This is a repost of an old post with slight updates.] And so it begins… We enjoy our park playdates and mini-road trips and vacations and bike rides and Vacation Bible School during the summer months, but we’re also super chill and bookworm-ish (read: nerdy), so we enjoy all the different summer reading programs....

Our post on summer reading programs (and more) will be coming soon, but here are some outdoorsy things to do when the UV Index shows safe numbers. Some are local-to-us but if you...

When people ask, "What's good around here?" it used to be a bit hard to answer. There were a good number of decent places, but we come from San Francisco where there are lots of good eats open all hours of the day and night. Slowly but surely, there are some eateries arriving on the... Continue Reading →

The sentence that is recited is: "In 1989, U.S. astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin were the first men to walk on the moon." We... Continue Reading →
