グーグーだって猫である (咕咕是一只猫)

I'm glad I watched this movie.

"Cats grow old 3 times faster than human beings..." (at 00:13:00)
A good reminder that we should love our cat/pet more now, not when they are gone...

Making faces

She fell and got a bloody cut on her cheek the other day at school which took more than a week to heal. She will do this with her lips whenever we need to wipe her face. Is that her way to protect the wound from being messed with?

No Ambiguity

This little girl knows exactly what she likes and what she doesn't and she is very quick to let you know, even though she can't speak yet.

This picture was taken at Pier 39 near the Fisherman's Wharf. She smiled and pointed at this bench so we sat her down to take a picture. But there she started screaming within split second to complain that we were just supposed to look at what she was pointing at and not make her a part of it. Hehe!! We got it, but still decided to make her take a picture.

成長

That was me?

新年あけましておめでとございます♪

園芸 と 漢字

Today, I played Martha Stewart while the sun was out. I planted a bunch of flowers and small shrubs and added some heavy rocks near the planting area around the pool. It turned out pretty good, somewhat like an English garden (like I know what that's supposed to mean exactly...). I am not sure what my mother in law will think but it is exactly how I like it now. I think she was planning on doing something else but I got a headstart on it during her absence. ;-P I hope it will stay the same and nothing get moved when she is here next week. (Maybe I should take a picture now before ...)

And then later on in the evening, I created a spreadsheet to count all the Kanji I know of, can write and can pronounce. The total is 600 (with no duplicates)!! :-) That's not bad because just last week when my Korean co-worker asked me how many Kanji I can truly say I know, I told him about 300-400 Kanji when in fact it's almost double that number!

Updates:

Here is the "English Garden" picture taken under low light, long exposure with no flash condition.
Today at work, I added a few more Kanji to the list and the total now comes to 720!! XD
