Who wants to cook?

So I've realized that I've been neglecting my husband of home-cooked meals recently. I just lost all motivation for cooking when it came to recent events that took over, (i.e. birthdays, weddings, showers, etc). I really thought I would be better at this. If there was someone to prepare the ingredients and clean up after me, I would cook everyday! Luckily, David's been self sufficient in the kitchen and has managed to get through his meals (usually chicken adobo, kimchi chigae, or kimchi bokkumbab). Maybe what I need is a really good cookbook to get me motivated!

Happy Belated Mothers' Day!

This Mother's Day, I spent part of the weekend in Orange County with my parents and the other part in San Diego with David's parents. It was fun hanging out with my family Saturday afternoon. My mom who only accepts gift cards on birthdays, holidays, etc. accepted my invitation to the mall to pick out a handbag. She picked out a cute yellow one, something she wouldn't typically carry, but something that was fresh and different from her collection of handbags. For dinner, we went to a Japanese buffet in Long Beach and stuffed our faces! Then on Sunday (after I got off work), we drove down to SD to visit David's family. I made cupcakes (below) for David's mom, aunt, & Chihye. They were lemon cupcakes w/ fruit buttercream. The next day, we went shopping with the family and had a nice home-cooked galbi dinner. Although the trip was shortlived, I could tell David's mom was so happy to have all her children under one roof. To all the moms out there, HAPPY BELATED MOTHERS' DAY. I truly have the utmost respect for mothers! Especially to all my close mommy friends....you all rock! I hope I can learn from all of you and be a wonderful mother one day! Just like you!

I chopped it off!

So....after much time & thought, I finally decided to chop it off! After the wedding last year, I thought I was ready to let go of the hair I had grown out for YEARS, but I just couldn't do it. Now that it was May and the hot weather was kicking in, I knew it was time for a change! Even my hairstylist Saejin wasn't convinced that I would follow through. People ask "Did you donate your hair?" I said "Hell no! It was so nappy!" I think the last time I had my hair this short was when I graduated from nursing school in 2003. But even then, it wasn't this short. So I'm glad I finally grew some balls to pull through with it! I like the change although it does require some more maintenance (blow drying, flat ironing, & styling). Everyone except my mom is a fan so far! She was pretty shocked the first time she saw it. I knew she wouldn't approve because she loved my long hair (especially when I curled it). Oh well! Hair grows back! Thanks Saej! I love it!

I W-A-N-T her body!

Okay, I need to seriously post her picture on my bathroom mirror to give me motivation! Melissa Rycroft (bachelorette who got rejected on live televsion!) was on DWTS this season and I couldn't help but check her body out week to week! It's amazing how much her body has become ripped and toned over the season! No joke! When I saw her in this number, all I could think was "Damn, I want her body!"

Too bad she didn't win it. Shawn Johnson did! =)
