Weekend activity

I remember few years ago, when I was still single and working, that a colleague of my aunt, who worked at the same company as I did, quit her job and went to the USA. There, she managed to have two or three jobs. That was a few years ago, when our global economy was better. I think over the last 2-3 years, there have been a lot of company bankruptcies. It happened not only in the USA but in many other countries as well. At the moment, there is a site called Mississippi bankruptcy where you can find information about the financial situations as they are.

Today, we didn't go anywhere we only stayed around our neighborhood. The weather was nice. The sun was shining but it was very cold and windy. But yesterday, we had fun. We went to the Spring Garden exhibition with the train. It was not far from our city but it was a tiring day for all of us. Maybe because we had to wait too long for the bus to the station and it was cold as well.

The trip was excellent and I took lots of photos. When we were there, I met my friend with some of her family. We had a great lunch in the restaurant while we were there :D

Eric Grohe

Looks what Eric Grohe Murals who was born in New York City in 1944. It was so awesome. I wish I have little bit of his talent for painting hi hi hi hi.... There are lots of projects that he had done, if you interest to see more of his projects. Just Google with keyword "Eric Grohe Murals".

Raining and Eye Glasses

I am wearing eye glasses since I started my studies the first year of junior high school. Since then, I never go anywhere without any glasses. But around 6-7 years ago, I have cylinder vision in both of my eyes. Maybe because I like to read a book while lying down in my bed. Last time, I changed my glasses was in December 2008. Hmmm...I don't think I will check my eyes any time soon. Maybe next year.

Today, we stayed at home because it was raining all day. It's a little bit boring but we were too lazy to go out. Our morning activities were: I cut Jason's hair, changed sheets on our bed and Jason's bed and did some cleaning. After lunch, Jason was watching the television, my hubby read a book that he borrowed from the library last Friday and as usual I sat behind the PC. I was working on Florist business cards at my online store at that moment.

Of course, my eyes sometimes got very tired because of working too long behind our PC. But this is my work, I earn money through our PC. It is time consuming, work but so far I enjoy it very much. A good thing is that my hubby always supports me.

My Chinese Zodiac Animal

Awesome... I was born with Rabbit as my Chinese Zodiac animal and according to this quiz. I am the Rabbit ^__^. What is your Chinese Zodiac animal according this quiz? Is it the same Chinese Zodiac animal as you born?

You Are the Rabbit

Like a rabbit, you are quick on your feet and fast to act. You don't procrastinate or dilly-dally. You are ambitious, and likely very lucky when it comes to money. You know how to work hard when the time is right. --> It is right. I work SO hard from home through blogging and online stores. You are conservative in your decisions and actions. You want to protect and defend what's yours. You are a kind and polite person. You make sure not to step on any toes, and if someone is mad, you get out of his or her way.

What's Your Chinese Zodiac Animal?

Me and Postcards

If you have been my reading my blog since I started this blog, than you will probably know about one of my hobbies. I am collecting postcards from around the world. Every time, I go to a city I have never been before, I buy postcards from that particular city. I always buy one or two postcards to add to my collection. My hubby's family knows about my hobby, that's why every time they go on vacation. They give me postcards.

I've attached some of my postcards collection neatly in a photo album and some of them I put in my shoe box very carefully. However, since I started my online stores, I don't have much time to take care of my hobby anymore. Last month, when we traveled to Hoorn (one of the cities in the Netherlands). I bought three new postcards. I am thinking to join a site where I could exchange postcards from around the world.

Just for you to know, with my photography I make my own postcards. Besides flowers for wedding themes, I made save the date postcards as well. All products can be personalized easily.

In another couple of weeks, we are planning to go a new city. I must not forget to buy a couple of postcards from that city ^__*

Beijing's National Centre

I saw this building, National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) in the magazine and I am curious. I was searching through the Google search looking for information.

If I could visit Beijing someday, I would like to see inside of this NCPA. Look's gorgeous and huge. There are 3 halls: opera hall, music hall, and theater hall. Each hall have around 2.000 seats.

It took around 6 years to build NCPA, started from December 2001.

Summer Palace

My SIL went to China last Summer with her mother. Looks like, she was visiting many places while she was in Beijing.

I believe someday, we could go to China as well. We wait for Jason little bit grown up, so he could remember all the places that we will visiting while we are in China ^__* This is a Summer Palace or Yi He Yuan in North Beijing (image from Google).
