Petite Bunny

Calvin is my love of my life. I realize that I never really talk or say about him. But I knew, he meant a lot to me. Without him, I won’t be who I am today. He showed me the future and purpose in life. I really feel grateful and thank God for sending me an angel in my life. I’m really blessed!

I tried a new recipe in my kitchen. Wanted to create a new tasted since I have no idea what to cook or decide what to eat. So, I did some research and I came across this recipe.

It was nice and tender. Really love it a lot.

Who love Starbucks??? Of course everyone does. So am I! Why am I writing this is because I went to lunch with Michelle yesterday and we went Starbucks. As usual, I always have my favorite green tea latte and I had an egg sandwich. Yum O!

Anyhow, it reminded me of Seattle, Washington. I went to the very first Starbucks store. Yes, THE VERY FIRST STARBUCKS STORE! It’s unbelievable to me. I never ever thought I will ever see it. Never thought I will be in Seattle for my birthday weekend gate away. To my surprised, I found out that Starbucks store was from Seattle. I went online and search to find the location of the store. It took me a while to find it. And I was surprised that it actually located at the Pike Market. Gosh………. We were there the night before. Funny isn’t it?

So, here the tiny bit of the history.

The original Starbucks was opened in Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington, in 1971 by three partners: English teacher Jerry Baldwin, history teacher Zev Siegel, and writer Gordon Bowker. The three were inspired by Alfred Peet, whom they knew personally, to open their first store in Pike Place Market to sell high-quality coffee beans and equipment. The original Starbucks location was at 2000 Western Avenue from 1971-1976. That store then moved to 1912 Pike Place; it is still open. During their first year of operation, they purchased green coffee beans from Peet's, then began buying directly from growers.

History of the logo:

The logo is an image of a "twin-tailed siren" (the siren of Greek mythology).^[39] The logo has been significantly streamlined over the years. In the first version, which gave the impression of an authentic 15th century European woodcut, the Starbucks siren was topless and had a fully-visible double fish tail. The image also had a rough visual texture. In the second version, which was used from 1987-92, her breasts were covered by her flowing hair, but her navel was still visible, and the fish tail was cropped slightly. In the current version, used since 1992, her navel and breasts are not visible at all, and only vestiges remain of the fish tails. The original "woodcut" logo can still be seen on the Starbucks store in Seattle's Pike Place Market, and on both the House Blend and Decaf House Blend packaging.

On Saturday, September 20^th 2008. I went out with Michelle for dinner. Calvin had a wedding gig that night and I don’t feel like staying home. That’s why I made plan with Michelle. I went and did my eye brows before the dinner. We suppose to meet up at 6:30 at the Japanese restaurant. I arrived at 6:20pm and waited for her and gave her a ring. No answer. Waited and waited………. And it’s already 6:40pm. Kinda worried if she got lost. I did called couple times but no answer. She called me back and told me that she on her way which she fall asleep at the massage place.

Anyways, it don’t matter. We had tempayaki. Which the person cook and do some tricks in front of us. It’s a nice dinner and we just kept on talking and did not pay much attention on the cook. We had Filet Mignon…. And it’s tender. I like it. I save some to bring it home for Calvin. I knew he love the fried rice. Sorry no photos. Too busy chatting.

After dinner, we went to a dessert place. It’s a new place. So, we order something cute and I have to show you guys.

It’s sweet tofu. (tofu with sugar water). It’s pretty interesting to me where they put it in a wooden bowl. I like the taste a lot coz it don’t taste so sweet. I prefer less sugar now a days.

*I have not clean my desk yet which I’m leaving my current company in a week*

Calvin & I have been watching this drama since last 2 weeks. It really took us a long time to finish it because it’s not as fun as the part 1 we used to watch. This TV drama kinda boring to us. I don’t even cry in this drama.

Synopsis

The sequel of It Started With A Kiss begins with Xiang Qin and Zhi Shu's wedding and honeymoon. Even after marriage, they experience problems and interferences within their marriage such as mistaken pregnancy, misunderstandings, and a run-in with a girl from Zhi Shu's past. Xiang Qin and Zhi Shu switch to medical school to become nurse and doctor. During that time, Zhi Shu meets new rivals who wish to outdo him and Xiang Qin makes four new friends, and one of them likes her and wishes to replace Zhi Shu.

How will their lives turn out to be?

On Last Sunday, Calvin & I went to a dessert place which they just open not long ago but never have a chance to try it. It kinda pathetic that day, both of us just don’t feel like going home and we just drove everywhere. We don’t want to go to the mall either and we can’t watch movie coz we have dinner appointment with friend. And Calvin gave a good idea to have a dessert after Costco.

When we first went in the dessert, I saw everyone having an ice-cream. In my mind, it must be good. What surprised me is that, we get to create our own ice-cream we want. So, both of us got a cup of ourselves. And Calvin told me to fill it up as we thought it will base on one price.

Ha ha ha………… Calvin goes crazy. He put so much stuff in his cup. Me just chocolate rice. That’s my favorite on the ice cream. Nothing else! As we get nearer to the cashier, my eye wide open and turn around and look at Calvin. He still was scooping more candies. And I whisper to his ear about how they charge us. He was like…….. OHHHHH!!!!! Then he asked me to look for place and he pay for it.

When he finally seated, he told me it cost USD12.00 for both of us. I was like WOW!
Believe or not, we did not finish it. That’s what happened when we got greedy. It’s okay! We learn from the experience. Next time we’re knows better.

Calvin

I went to the renaissance faire on last Saturday. Omg, It’s like a dream come true for me. I been always wishing that one day I get to experience the 17th century, I guess. Maybe 15th century. I’m kinda bad in history. Anyhow, I love to watch this kind of movie since I was very very young. I still remember when I was young, I loved to watch all the fairy tales that have this kind of show. They showed it in the morning. I will watched it when it is a school holiday. Gosh……….and my favorite Fantaghiro. You have to ask my sister Mavis. We both so crazy about it and we actually record it on a tape. I think we used the ninja turtle tape. LOL!!!! Shhhhh……………………

Back on track……..It’s was a fun day for me. I can’t explain how I feel when I was there. Calvin knew from the beginning I love this kind of thingy. He always said….. I love ugly stuffs and I’m recarnation from olden days. I don’t care, me like it.

So, my friend Weng came along with us. And ticket was kinda expensive I guess but it’s worth it for me. At first, I wanted to rent the dress but Weng kinda not into it in the beginning but she changed her mind after I got my head piece. I just have to have it………. Something to remember and I hanged it on my photo frame at home. I’m so excited about the whole thing. I got to experience the dress which I totally have a hard time breathing. After walking half way, I have to loosen up my top for a bit. Gosh…. My rib was hurt when I got back home. I guess, my body just useless. Too fragile!

Alright, let’s the photos tell the stories.

Below shown that,

●I bought my head piece and wearing it on the spot. Having hard time paying it. It cost about USD19.80 after tax.
●Us with the costume and the very tall man. I guess, he’s the guard of the castle. We just the maid.
●Witness the talent of the baby. Carried by her father and I bet she been train since she was a baby. (should have join the American got talent)

Calvin & I

●The dessert (orange ice). Weng got it.
●The giant swing
●Calvin think, they were cool with the guitar with the chick dancing around
●Me with the big turkey leg. Yum yum!

●Baby in a barrel (no idea what it call that)
●No idea why shot the couple. I guess just for the boobies.
●Here comes the queen. (she deciding who to pick for the best pirates)
●The bad person. (tell the truth, I was scared when I saw them. Shhhh……)
●We with friendly friend who offer to take photo with us.

We had a blast!!!

My heart beating fast but it’s a relief for me. I finally quit my current job. I think, it’s time for me to look on the other side of the opportunity. I love what I’m doing but it’s not mean to be. It takes me awhile to think and come out with this decision. I believe someone will be very happy seeing me leaving. LOL! No longer someone in-charge of the department.

Anyhow, I tender my resignation today. It’s not an easy thing to do and not to hard either. I try to explain the reason why I’m leaving but not to much. Keep it simple is a better way. I know the other person will add some salt and pepper on it.

Right now, I’m counting the day of my freedom. Wish me luck, Guys!

Anyone want some?? I was craving for butter prawns and I knew I can’t get it here. I tried to explain to Calvin but he had no clue what I want. So, I decided to do it since I’m graving for it. I’m just like a preggy person. Every other week……. I’m graving for something. Calvin told that, he gonna die If I ever pregnant.

Back to the prawns. I can’t believe how much work to have this dish. First, you have to fry the prawns. Then, you have to do the butter and make the prawns taste good. Gosh…… I remember I was thinking, I will get disappointed if it did not turn out the taste I want. Well, my first time of cooking it. Thank God, I can’t believe I actually made it. It really tasted like the restaurant. Calvin kept on telling me that it was so good and asked me to cook again. I know how much he hated peeling of the shell but he did not complaint about it. I was so happy seeing him smiling while eating. I made my baby happy with food!

Why it called Blooming Flower coz that’s what the named of the drink. It’s champagne with hibiscus flower. The taste was a little bit different but it stands out for it self. Not to sweet but once u sip it, you want more. It’s nice to have an afternoon with friends at a nice place where we all get to chill. Chit chating is fun for the ladies once it a while to catch up everything we done in our daily life. As we get older, it is hard to hang out as a group. Everyone started to have family and build the career of their own. No time for girlie thing. Life is so interesting as we go through the level of live. Mine is a bit different, I don’t surround with my school mates as I have moved to be with someone who I want to spent my life with. Friends come and go but to be with someone you love is rare to find.

Blooming Flower really made me think about the blooming day of my life. A man who saw me bloom from far far away and stealmy heart away.

I finally got a cute chocolate from Calvin. I always wanted to get and watched it on the window of the store. Kinda pathetic. I know, I can get it myself but I don’t know why I always wanted Calvin to get it to me. He he he….

I wanted to keep it but Calvin kept on asking me to eat it. Yes, I did………. The head is gone and I still keep the body and it still on my table. I’m crazy! I just love cute stuffs. Anything cute will keep me happy. I’m to easy to be happy and to easy to get disappointed too.

Here is the dwarf. Isn’t he cute???

Calvin and I have been watching this Taiwan drama which made us so addicted. We just can’t go to sleep coz our heart just wanted to know what happen next to their relationship. This drama had put me in tear from the beginning to the end. Well, I just watched half way of the episode but seem like I’ve been tearing a lot. It is bitter sweet stories lines. The whole stories are about their fated to be together. No matter what, they always end up together. I really recommend everyone to watch it.
