Surprise!!!

This past Saturday was my new best friends birthday! Rose was turning 25 :) I wanted it to be something that was special and that she wouldn't expect....so I planned a surprise party!!




I only invited her closet friends and we had her boyfriend bring her by her favorite coffee shop before going on their "movie" date. When she arrived we were hiding behind the register and jumped out while throwing balloons! It was wonderful, her face was priceless and you could immediately tell she felt special. Goal accomplished. I made her brownies, her favorite, a cute cake, and then we sat around telling stories! It wasn't a loud party, but a meaningful one...just the perfect party for Rose.

That night  I received an e-mail from Rose:
"Tama, I was moved so much by u. 
This was the first birthday party I had. Everything was comfortable. It's also my first surprise party. I heard some of my roommates gave a surprise birthday party to another roommate during a summer holiday in my college time. I was so envious. And I was sad cause I didn't believe there will be someone want to prepare so much for me. Today I'm so glad I was wrong, and now I know I deserve it...."

Pick mine!!

Marry my daughter please. She is 25 and successful at her career. 5" 1' and 90 pounds. Smart, knows Chinese, English, Japanese, and German. Plays Violin, piano, and owns a car. Sound like a newspaper add? Its because it is. The paper and flyers you see here are from parents and grandparents trying to find their son and daughters spouses! These are people carefully picking their selections. I couldn't believe it....but what was crazy is that this went on throughout the whole park. I mean thousands of adds everywhere. I wasn't sure what I should think about it....but i found it very intriguing. How would you like for your parents to go the park every weekend to try to sell you to those who passed by?

New Home?

What to pack? If you have moved before you are aware of the excitement and stress that comes along with it! So far moving hasn't been the biggest stresser. I think what stresses me out is the fact that I am at my house but it no longer looks like or feels like home. The feeling of not having a comfort home is not a good one. I reminds me of a story one of my friends was telling me. It was about a missionary that was once asked about where her home was, since she moved all the time. She explained that through her time as a missionary the Father had shown her, this world never was suppose to be our home. That through moving over and over sharing the word she began to understand that meaning. Her home wasn't a present tangible place on the earth but it was in her heart and an eternal place. I really hope that one day my thought and heart would truly feel that! Packing: I have learned that I am extremely blessed to have material things and friends and family to help! I have l...

Angry Birds

The night began with J and I heading to Starbucks.He was meeting his bud and I was just going to enjoy the nice weather and improve my angry bird skills. You know that feeling you get when someone is watching you..I was feeling it pretty heavy. It may have been the breath of the Chinese kid over my shoulder or the nice sound affects he was making, but needless to say I was being watched. As I continued to pass levels, the noises got closer and closer until a chair was pulled up right next to me. I offered him to play, but he politely refused...the first time. The second time, he jumped at the offer. We instantly became friends. With the very little Chinese I know, we managed to play against and laugh at each other. He told me his name, age, and taught me the word for bomb. For an hour and a half I was able to make a friend without either one of us being able to speak to one another...all because of a popular game and probably because of my amazing angry bird skills! lol What a cool fee...
