Go Lakers!

Went to the Lakers game on Thursday night, the first round of playoffs. It was a fun and exciting game, really enjoyed it. Lakers was way behind in the first quarter but then they finally caught up and beat the Suns. Kobe scored a total of 45 points that night! It was also Jack Nicholson's birthday. Got free t-shirts on the way in and coupons for free tacos on the way out.

For Kobe's fans, here are some of the photos we took last time when Lakers played against Clippers. Better seats and better camera last time. It's hard to catch action shots, so out of hundreds of pictures we took, only a few came out clear and captured the actions!

Here are the Clipper girls~ (I promised to take pictures of Clipper girls when I borrowed the camera! heehee =P)

Happy Birthday Captain Will!
Since he is the project captain at his work, I'd just call him Captain Will. heehee Happy Birthday! Turning big "30" today and do you feel that you are older? haha =P Thank you for being the best big brother to me and may God bless your new year with His fullness. Love you!

Disneyland

Disneyland. The happiest place on earth. This was one of the weekends back in March. I am trying to recap on what happened within the last month. With the speed I update stuff, I don't think I can survive in media or fashion industries. heehee =)

We spent one Sunday afternoon hopping both Disneyland & California Adventure. Both parks were packed and there was a long wait for almost every ride. We were very fortunate to meet a couple who generously gave us their "dream fastpass" because they had to leave the park early. Yeh! Praise God for meeting gracious people like them. Instead of waiting in lines, we sure saved a lot of time with the fastpasses.

One of our favorite rides is "Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters." I guess this is also Jeremy's favorite one at Dland since he set the record for himself as he'd mentioned on his blog. It's really fun for people who are competitive. haha... The new Rockin' Space Mountain is pretty cool too. The only ride that makes me scream is the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.

We watched the Parade of Dreams that day and most of the pictures I took are from the parade. Meeting those Disney characters face to face is probably the most exciting moment for all the kids. Wanted to get in line to have a picture with Minnie, just like the kids...but then I guess it was better just to watch them! More Disneyland & California Adventure Photos (Click Here)

Surprise from God

In the beginning of the year, our church planned to start a parking lot project due to the limited parking spaces. Being part of the big family, we are encouraged to participate the project by giving more offering than the regular tithe. I really think there is a need to have a bigger parking lot so we don't have to spend too much time looking for a parking spot when going to the church or park our cars on the muddy field. Actually it's a good sign that more and more people are coming to the church!

I was debating with how much I could give when I first knew about the project. Beside the tithe offering...how much I can give? I remembered I was sitting in the front of the church asking myself whether I can give another tithe for the parking lot project. Honestly, it was a hard decision to make before God even though deep in my heart I know His heart will be blessed when I offer Him more. I don't make much but God always provides for me. I know He has blessed me so much. Why am I holding back what belongs to Him and have so little faith in Him after receiving so much?!

Offering is an expression of love and obedience to God. I took the step of faith and decided to trust in Him completely. Jesus Himself said, "It's more blessed to give than to receive!" God is faithful and his promises never fail. Yesterday, God surprised me with an extra check, money from a salary raise from work. I am so thankful. It's truly a blessing from above!

I think God is humorous....

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. (Malachi 3:10)

Ready for His blessing?

Tuesday...

It's toward the end of April. Feel like people don't blog that much as before, including myself. Do people get busier than usual during the months in spring?! =)

Currently at work.

Downtown Disney

Another fun afternoon in March, too long ago to remember the date..heehee. Three of us went to downtown Disney, the neighbor of the happiest place on earth. It's so fun to see a lot of kids there, especially girls dressed in princesses' costumes. There is a store called "Libby Lu" where girls can get makeovers. It is definitely a place girls love to be at, a place for girls dream to be glamorous princesses, dance divas, or celebrities, a place where girls dream can come true. haha...=) We were there watching little girls getting their hair done, nails polished, and putting up make-up and glitter. They got really good business earning big bucks from those parents!! Do we look like pirates? That hat fits perfectly!! Disney store is like a children's heaven. They even have wigs for different princesses! For the picture on the bottom left, we tried to pose like we were having casual conversation on the bench to fit in with that Lego old guy. heehee =)

Huntington Library + Yard House

Janice and Will have moved back to LA for over two months now. Janice and I used to call each other almost everyday when she was up in north. Now I can just chitchat with them face to face whenever we want to. Since Janice is expecting the baby and Will is hunting for a job, I get to hang out with them a lot. I'll try to update and post some pictures when I have time. I know I am a little slow but I just don't think I want to sit in front of the computer for too long. =)

Today. A good news. God has graciously provided a job offer for Will! God is truly our provider and He answers our prayers! Congratulations brother! Very happy for you except a little worry about your everyday commute to Santa Monica, but I believe God will also provide you a pair of wings that help you to get there on time! Add oil!

Last week we spent one relaxing afternoon at the Huntington Library Botanical Gardens in San Marino. Admission is free on the first Thursday of every month. It was packed with people, especially seniors and expectant mothers with little kids. It was a beautiful day, very enjoyable. Aren't these pictures pretty? Some plants and flowers are so unique and adorable. The cactus on the bottom right looks like it's wearing a Hawaiian lei on its head!

After walking around for a couple of hours, we headed to Pasadena and had some drinks and snacks at Yard House. This is how you enjoy your life! hahaha... Why is it called "happy hour?" I guess the half-priced appetizers and discount drinks make you happy?!?!

Happy Birthday Will!

Jesus is Love

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8 NIV)

Wondrous cross. Amazing love. Saved by Your Grace. Freed by Your mercy. Thank You Jesus for dying on the cross for us, for you and for me.
