Still in love with him…

I posted about this little cutie about a couple of months ago – yes this little cutie is in China – which I lived a month and a half with. He’s a very adorable dog. Would wake up up around 6 to 7 in the morning to go walk him because he needs to do his business. After dinner time – he would be walking back and forth from the dog wanting to go out for a walk. Those are the only times he would go out – out of the whole day. I still miss him very very much – still asks my auntie about him. Looks like he’s doing well. Oh – how I miss him very very much. Maybe within 2 years – I’ll pay a visit. I miss him dearly :( You have a pet?

Day 1 @ New York City

Our first destination was the Woodbury Common Outlet Mall – this post takes us to our second destination. Which is New York City for half the day. We spent nearly half the day touring New York City and my soon to be hubby fell in love with New York City.

Before he met me – he had dreams of moving to Miami and start a new life there – just to explore and be independent. Which most of his friends moved away after university to different areas in the world. But of course – with many reasons, he decided to stay put. If he really decided to move – I don’t think our relationship will ever happen. Fate is what brought us together :)

Would we really move to NYC one day?? I don’t think so – it’s like a complete different world than Toronto for sure. But New York City?? It’s too busy for my life style. I like the peace and quiet. What about you???

But again – as he said ” it is a better opportunity.” Which is true – but we gotta think really hard if he really wants to move there. If he really wants to – I will go with him :)

Woodbury Common Premium Outlet, New Jersey

Woodbury Common Premium Outlet is one of the BIGGEST OUTLET in the states. They have over 200 outlet stores there. Trust me – we only had 2 hours to shop and it wasn’t enough. With two hundred stores to get to – you need about the WHOLE day. For us – we only got through like 10 stores in two hours. Imagine going through 200 stores eh? That will be a bit crazy.

It was such a HOT and SUNNY day to be out and in the stores. I was sweating so much and the walking was insane. This place is huge. I will definitely go back to it one day – but next time, I need the whole day. As the tour guide says ” The man makes the money – the woman shop with the money!” MWAHAHAHAHAHA True eh??

Carnival Glory Cruise Ship && Talk to everyone in a week!!

When you see this post – I’m probably on the tour bus going down to New York City by now!! Yes – the best thing about wordpress is that – they allow me to do schedule posts!!

We found out that our cruise ship name is “Carnival Glory” and yes I quickly did some research about this cruise and look through some pictures :) I’m VERY excited to be going on another cruise. It’s the most relaxing way to enjoy life because everything is ALL INCLUSIVE. Trust me – I ain’t watching what I eat when I’m on this cruise. If I gain weight – I will lose it when I get back. I can’t wait to indulge myself into all sorts of different food.

Regular update posts?? Yes – I’ll be gone for only 6 days – this is only a short getaway for us. There’s gonna be regular posts mostly every day!! So don’t forget to leave comments while I’m gone on vacation!!

I don’t just have one blog!!! I have 4 blogs – please do check out all my babies (my blogs are my babies) :)

1 more day left!

I’m pretty much excited but not really because I still have a whole list of chores to do before I head off to enjoy my vacation! Yes – so how was everyone’s weekend?? Exciting?? Mini vacations??

Here’s my long list of chores

  • wash laundry & hang up all cloths (I HATE DOING LAUNDRY)
  • hand wash his dress pants
  • clean up pingpong table (SPOTLESSSSS)
  • clean vanity table
  • wash blanket, bed sheets, pillow cases
  • schedule blogs (30 posts)
  • do all my OPPS by Tuesday night
  • PACKKKKKKKK (both our cloths)

I don’t remember what else is on the list!!! I really don’t have time going out these two days – that’s what my list looks like. *sobs*Now I wish I have a maid to help me!!!

14 More days till Prince Edward Island Carnival Cruise Trip!!!

We are going to another cruise trip!! But this time it’s at another place and on another cruise. We are taking the CARNIVAL cruise ship this time around. Hopefully I won’t be disappointed because I love the Royal Caribbean Cruise a lot.  This time around – we are going with his brother as well. I never been to PEI so – I’ll know how the place looks like when I’m there. Looks like I need to get some new long skirts for this trips formal night!!!

Why am I going on another trip when I just came back three months ago? Because the MEN want a trip. After working for 9 months straight – he deserves one. As in his brother – he’s been schooling about 2 years straight and he needs one as well. Why do I have to go?? I don’t – but he wants me to go. YAY I get to go. :)

Get to put the OPP and other work on the side for six days for a refreshing trip! When I get back – it’s gonna be hectic with school along the side as well. But never mind – I actually like the busy schedule of mine. Makes me feel productive and no time for other things. :)

Are you planning to go on a trip soon? Where are you going?? Gotta enjoy life!!

China’s Metro System VS TTC Subways

I don’t think I should have anything to say! The pictures will do the talking for me. Comment below to tell me what you guys think alright?

Most of the stations have escalators and there’s always someone cleaning them.

Not very clear, but look at that shiny floor!

Token Machines are provided at all the stations

The place where you enter. One way only, if you want to get out, you gotta find the right way.

When the trains arrive, the glass sliding door will open. I have to say, the glass sliding door is the best idea to prevent accidents/suicides.They even have LCD TV in each station to tell you news and what time the train will be arriving next!

SPOTLESS!

What more can I say? Comparing to TTC. TTC is nothing! Absolutely nothing. With the efficiency and cleanliness they have. I have to give it a 10 out of 10 for China’s Metro System. Why can’t our city have better subway systems? I mean, COMON work on the cleanliness part at least! They need to hire more people to work on this!!! What do you guys think??

Historical place in China

[ This is a backdated post - vacation]

Have you been to China’s most historical place? Have you seen those drama that talks about the olden days? If so, you will know where I went. This is my very first time here and boy was I surprised that these houses still exist! These are probably from thousands of years ago, if I’m not wrong. It looks exactly like the ones in the TVB dramas I watched before. Unbelievable eh? Have you guys been here before? It’s my first experience here.

The front door to enter the little area  //  this is how each door looks like

The playground area for the kids

the olden hall way. and of course there was no motorcycle back than la

look how old the building is. its all black

yes they still use wood to create fire for cooking!

China’s shopping

What do you guys think of my picture? Laugh out loud. Yes this was the first day/night back from my vacation and I just piled everything on the pingpong/work table! Trust me, this wasn’t everything. My cloths and dresses was not on the table. This was how bad it is and it took me about 3-4 days to clean up! I don’t mind going back to shop again! Really don’t mind it at all, but just NOT at this weather. March – April is the best time to go back! :) I LOVE SHOPPING! Don’t all ladies do?

Am I crazy or not??

Home sweet home

A little update! I’ve been back for a week and 3 days already! It feels so long already. My vacation went by like a zoom.

I enjoyed the 1.5months at China and I do miss it. I hadn’t gone back since almost six to seven years already and it was great to go back with my step mother to meet her side of the family. I have to say, I learn more about her family this time around because I did take the time to spend with them. It’s like a complete new experience with them. Why? Because my father’s side of the family is just full of drama. I thought people in China are all like that. Silly me. But this time around, it’s so different. I have to admit, even if they aren’t rich, they are living a happy life. Unlike other people- all about gold digging.

Not only did I enjoy my time there, I’ve learn a lot from my relatives and feel very loved by them. They would simply treat me like a little kid. Yes I know I’m 21 and they will worry and do this and that for me. I feel guilty when people care for me. Am I weird? I mean, when I was there, my step-moms cousins’ wife will make handmade love dumplings for me. I felt so grateful. Really do. I mean, I never asked for handmade dumplings and she would go through all that trouble. I mean, it is something small, but it’ll leave a memory into my heart forever.

I feel tremendously grateful for everything. Ever since last June, my personality has changed. I learn to appreciate more, I learn to not judge a book by it’s cover and to understand others better. Why did I change to who I am today? I have to say, Michael Jackson was the one who really gave a big impact in me! I never really know who he was – I just know he was ugly. Forgive me. After his death, I went onto Youtube to watch all his interviews, documentaries and everything else. Made me change my mind completely. I felt so wrong for judging him for his looks. His heart is made of gold. No matter how much people criticize him, he still forgive and forget. I mean, he was really a wonderful person/father. He made me realize my wrongs. My judgmental side. Till that day on, he became my hero.

Anyways, so yes, I’ve been back home for a week and more. It feels great to be back again! Back into my Fiances’ arms. He’s the sweetest thing that ever happen in my life. Since I’m back, it’s time to get somethings off my mind!

  1. G2 insurance class lessons
  2. G2 Driving test lessons
  3. Church lessons (to be a Catholic)
  4. FIND A JOB! or take a course?

YIKEEEEES, gotta get cracking! It’s JUNE already!
