Finally, I was able to test my new lens with the speed light taking photos for a friend’s wedding. I like the distance I can capture with 18-105mm lens. Soon, details of steel buildings will be easy for me to capture from a far from my travel. I want to practice more and keep on shooting but time is one my constraints. I have other things I need to prioritize. Taking photos only comes when I’m not that busy.

Anyways, below are the photos taken from the wedding last Saturday.

Yes, run to the outlet now and indulge your self for a new bag! hahahha You can get up to 70% off sometimes. I remember saying to my husband that I should go to the outlet and buy bag every pay day. hahaha He just smiles and shake his head. lol Meaning no.. but it’s up to me. :D

So true! This could be the reason why I got pregnant with my second child after 4 years.  I was working in a high stressed environment.. not so healthy to conceive the baby. I gained weight, and almost about to take opiate detox to start my weight loss.

But I was thankful that God lead me to change my job. ;) I got pregnant after three months with my new employer.. hehhe We didn’t plan but it happened. Hahhaa

This is a good article for all those who wanted to be pregnant: Stress May Affect Chances of Getting Pregnant

If I calculate the time I spent in shopping for women’s dresses, that will be equivalent to 10% of my time a day! Yes, that’s how crazy and addictive I am in shopping clothes. I even know when my favorite site will have new styles, when do they release new stuff, and even when they will release the sales online before the announcement hit the emails. :D Just few more pounds and I will be more comfortable buying clothes.. I actually need to change my wardrobe. ;)

I can’t wait to get this dress in size 6/8:

.. soon! :D I once searched for Best Online Schools to my MBA plan, but I stopped because of this tough economy, I cannot afford to spend more money and making my work secondary. lol Maybe in the future I will go back and pursue what I planned. For now, I’m enjoying and thankful for what I have. :D

I’m back studying to pass the CPA board exam since May. The most relevant way to add additional stuff on my education and accomplishment. I got the promotion that I wanted last March and the next level is tough to get qualified unless I have my CPA designation on my name and/or my MBA. So, that’s what I’m aiming for now.. and "CPA" next to my name. :D hehehe

My mom is asking to upgrade the computer she is using. I’m thinking to computer memory or just get a new one for myself, then give my old one, or purchased one that is really intended for her. I have to look at the cost that will save us more money.

By the way, you’re not asking but my mom is facebook addict! lol And that is the reason why she hates slow internet connection now. hahahah She have more comments on her photos, more messages, and more friends that she really knew than me. hahhaha I can consider her tech savvy too.. except for falling too quickly to click ad banners on the page. lol

We went to Legoland 3 weeks ago, everybody had fun :) I want to go back again for the Water Park :)

Rene's Retirement Party Amazing stuff made of legos.. :D Rene's Retirement Party Rene's Retirement Party

My friend is asking me to get a quote for NC short term health insurance from our current broker at work. She didn’t give me enough information to get the accurate rate.. Anyway, that give me another reason to call her and talk other things. lol I feel so chatty lately and it only mean one thing.. I’m happy. hahaha Hope that her decision to move in NC will bring more good things in her life.

By the way, I’ll be back to post photos I took lately ;)

I don’t know if I should feel happy and rejoice about no furlough this Friday. I really have no reason to complain because even I go to work, I will be paid. However, I like the extra time off on Fridays. I already scheduled things for tomorrow and that includes shopping for patio cushions and clothes for kids. There is too much going on with the state of California. I care.. but not that much to make me anxious of things for tomorrow.
