Christmas Eve.

On Christmas Eve, I went to my Mom's house and my brother, his girlfriend and I helped prepare a bunch of foooood. We were expecting 60 people for dinner the next night so there was a lot to do so we put on some Christmas music and got our cook on.

(Oh, and David and I made a great gingerbread house! The little guy on the roof with the dog is our tribute to "Best in Show", basically one of the most amazing movies ever.)

(PS. This is my 100th post!!! I wonder where I'll be at 200?)
(PSS. I just got four rolls of film developed so I'll be putting up more photos real soon!)

Vegan-ish.

Occupy LA.

I live a few blocks from LA City Hall where Occupy LA was held for the first while before they got evicted by hundreds of cops. These photos are from a few weeks before the eviction. I tried to get a glimpse of the raid but when I went out that night I couldn't even get within a few blocks of City Hall in every direction. Glad I got some photos while they were still there.

Childhood Memories.

When I was younger I took riding lessons for six or seven years and have loved horses for as long as I can remember. One day I hope to own horses of my own and a big, beautiful piece of land for us to live on.

I took these photos when I was out in Agoura Hills, near my Mom's house.

Man vs. Food.

My favorite ramen in Little Tokyo =) I went to this place for the first time when I met David and we've been back regularly since.

YUM.

Self Evidence.

Requiring no proof or explanation.

New Eyes.

Check out my new camera that I bought last week!

So excited to have a 35mm film camera. Shooting with film is so exciting and I shoot differently with film than I do with digital. More thought goes into each shot and I consider the things I'm shooting more than I would with digital. And it just feels more special in a way. I love it!

Almost finished with my first roll so hopefully it'll be developed soon!

New Beginnings.

Started my TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) course today! Which means that hopefully in a few months, I'll be going overseas to teach English! It was nostalgic sitting in a classroom again and I had a lot of fun! And yes, every sentence I write needs an exclamation point!

Also, I shaved my head yesterday. It was time for a change.

Belly Full of British Columbia.

Recently went back to BC (where I was born) to visit my Dad and brother (and his girlfriend!)...

VANCOUVER

 An early birthday feast with my Dad, brother and his girlfriend (that's them in the bottom left corner) at my favorite restaurant in Vancouver, or maybe the WORLD.

 YUM.

 Duh. And might I add that I had the Silk Route Feast which means they brought me food until I was too full to eat anymore.

 So then they brought me dessert =) that was DELICIOUS.

Happy Birthday to Me.
