Some of my favorites from a mini weekend trip to San Francisco with Linda (one fine dae) and our friend, Anh.

Suddenly felt inspired this past weekend, I decided to attempt at another top again. This time was more of a success than the first one. I LOVE this print, but these type of fabrics can be so difficult to sew and hem! It didn’t turn out boutique-perfect, but still wearable. :-) I want to make more summer tops now..

I cannot wait for warmer weather!

LOVE!!

Good bye, 2011.

I hope that there should be no more of the kind of year worse than the one you’ve given me. You took away from me one of the very few important people in my life through a tragic accident, and I just can’t get myself to be the same person again. A new day or a new year won’t change the past, so all I can rightfully hope is that life may slowly and imperfectly mend itself from here on out. For what it’s worth, you did present me with a better job and a closer relationship with my mom. But at the end you still turned ugly. We had to put down our newly found kitten, who had developed a fatal disease at barely 12 weeks old. It was the second hardest thing I ever had to deal with. The holidays became extremely difficult and unbearable. I kept wishing for everything and everyone to be over quickly and get on with January already. But I do apologize if I’ve been lackluster with the holiday wishes and cheers.

Good bye forever, 2011. I won’t ever forget you.

Hello, 2012.

I hope you’ll be a better one. I have some big goals I want you to see through, and a few little ones along the way. I’m just going to try to grasp on anything I [think] still have control over in this life. But in no particular order; I want to owe nothing more to the education I now realized was a worthless 2 years [mistake] of my life. This is going to be tough and most likely drawn out til the end of the year. Second, the Seattle-to-Portland bicycle trip? Yeah, I want to go through with it and push myself (physically). Which leads to my next goal: exercise/stay fit/work out/be active. Whatever you call it, I’m going to be doing it. It’s always been a very passive new year’s resolution but, I could feel this year will be different. I did get a 2 days head-start already–very proud of myself! And then there are a few more things I’d like to accomplish (or at least begin) this year, but I’ll bring them up to you later once I get my head wrapped around those ideas for at least a while.

You’ll see.
