My Top 10 Surprises During Pregnancy

What I know about going through pregnancy was based from what I’d observed from my family & friends. I never knew how much limited I know until I get pregnant — imagine my surprise. You get pregnant, you get morning sickness then your tummy grows big. All women talk about how painful it is going through labor. That’s it. That’s all I know. Ok. Of course, I learned something from my biology class — about the x & the y chromosomes stuff. But they never tell you about what a pregnant woman experience until you are pregnant.

EWP Studio Lab Project: The Marriage of Cruz & Chu

It was such a great experience for me participating in this show which was the culmination of the East West Player’s Studio Lab Project- The Marriage of Cruz & Chu: Our Big Fat Filipino-Chinese Wedding Banquet as part of the Arts Education program headed by Marilyn Tokuda. With the support of the Artistic Director Tim Dang & the Board of Directors, this project would not have been possible. Our Director & teacher, Leslie Iishi noted that audience support of the artists’ creativity is critical in nurturing talent and growth of the artist.

Fireworks In The Sky

Last July 4, my hubby & I enjoyed ourselves with the sights & sounds of the Starlight Bowl. We brought picnic basket w/ us for dinner: spinach ravioli w/pesto, spicy buffalo wings, chicken caesar salad, blackforest ham sandwich, cherries & strawberries.

It’s less popular than the Hollywood Bowl but it has become Burbank’s premiere outdoor entertainment venue and has entertained generations of Southern California families nestled in the Verdugo Mountains. It has convenient location, great sight lines, grassy picnic area and comfortable seating.

Wedding Direction Cards for Michelle

I finally finished my sister in law’s wedding direction cards last month. What I did was to use photoshop & use images from mapquest & the venue’s website. Her theme is traditional garden wedding w/ green & coral colors. At the back of the card is the text of the actual direction to the venue. We used Overnight Prints as our card vendor for this one. For 50 pcs., it’s only $18.95 + shipping which is very economical. She loved it! — I’m glad :) Our next wedding project is designing her place cards.
