My Bucket List

It is 2009 – year of the cow – mooooooo

I hope things get better – economy, government, health, work… everything

 

So, to celebrate a new year, I am sharing my “bucket list” – not all of them, though, just “some” that are appropriate for public:

 

* Being an Elf (done) 

* Singing in Karaoke Bar, without any hesitation (without alcohol)

* Learning to be a Barista

* Moving to Hawaii (working on it) 

* Going to India

* Going to Tahiti, and visit Gaughan’s house

* Learning to Salsa

* Memorizing a whole Hawaiian chant (done) then memorizing it forever (not done)

* Getting another tattoo on my upper leg

* Getting a Brazilian Wax (I have done close to… Argentina?)

 

— I think I should stop here before it gets too personal. 

 

 

Anyway, Happy New Year! 

I will try to update as much as I can – I am very optimistic. 

 

I feel good…

to be an American. 

 

Yes, we can!

 

Cole Haan…

I love buying cloths at vintage second hand stores. It is stylish, and it is inexpensive. 

BUT I buy good shoes, mostly at Nordstrom – it’s just better. 

 

Recent purchase was Cole Haan “Nike Air” Boots. Apparently Nike owns Cole Haan. I have always loved Haan shoes, but now I love even more, as it is just so comfy yet beautiful. Price tag? well, it was not cheap, but I just thought my legs deserve nice boots. Something that I can wear to work, and to dance

L&L BBQ

It is not fancy,

It is not healthy, 

It is not romantic…

 

but L&L is definitely one of my favorite restaurants

Chicken Katsu, Spam Musubi, MahiMahi… I am getting hungry ~

I have been thinking about this piece a lot these days.

Don’t know why. 

Maybe I have been asking same questions to myself?

 

 

 

Life is so precious

Love is so marvelous.

My secret project…

My secret project is moving

 

It is going to be a special & refreshing project, and I would REALLY like this thing work out. 

I might get some criticisms, some arguments, and even some hate – but I believe in myself and this is the time I feel enough energy and motivation to do what I have wanted to do for a long time…

Curious???

AIDA at Seattle Opera

It has been very busy at work, but I managed to go see Aida at Seattle Opera.

LOVED IT!!!

I cried, as it was so amazing. Lisa is amazing, set was amazing, costume was amazing, 

dancers were amazing… everything was just so good. 

 

I loved Lisa in Tosca, too. She is my favorite Diva

 

 

Just like Aida, I would like to die in arms of a man I truly love – that’d be my goal.

Yo-Ho Yo-Ho the Pirates Life for Hula Mama!

It was definitely once in a life time kind of opportunity – I went to hang out with Seattle’s celebrity; 

Seafair Pirates VIP party!

I was working at one of the hotels in downtown, and there they were, PIRATES!

They gave me a pass, so I went to the party at night – simple. 

 

Lots of food and drinks.

Lots of pirates and wenches:

I thought pirates smelled bad, but I was wrong.

Apparently they take shower once in a while, so they smelled pretty good:

And they did not try to kidnap me:

They even let me hold a gun:

Seafair Pirates were all such gentlemen, and I really enjoyed meeting them all!

What a lovely night… Grrrrr!

Just found out…

My dentist used to be one of Bud Girls – I love her even more, and I don’t dislike going to dentist anymore.

My dentist rocks! I would drink beer for her (if I can)  :)
