First of all, let me apologies for not updating my blog for so long.
I felt bad after reading some emails from my fans (not that I'm famous per say to have fans but they all said they are my fans!!!) that were personally sent to my yahoo inbox asking how I was doing and what I have been up to... why I haven't update my blog for awhile now.
Well, thank you (to all my fans) for being so thoughtful and concern about me.
We are doing VERY WELL.
There are a few reasons why I haven't been updating my blog lately.
1. BUSY BUSY BUSY ME....
Summer is here and as always, this is the busiest season of the year for the family. The girls are in the swim team - swim practise is every morning from 8:00 to 9:00 am, Monday to Friday.
In the afternoon during the weekdays, I myself would like to spend a couple of hours at the pool trying to get some sun tan after I get off work.
Back from the pool, it would be dinner time. By 8:00 pm or latest 9:00 pm, I would already be in bed.
Moreover, I have a full-time job (work from 8 - 4:30 pm), Monday to Friday and lately I just feel like spending more time with the girls whenever I had a chance since the school is out and they are on summer vacation.
2. Lack of Motivation.
This is the worst part. I just do not have the motivation to blog anymore but I believe that's just a temporary thingy.
3. Not Very Happy.
Yeah, I'm not very happy with myself right now. Reason can't be discussed openly in here or else I will be in trouble. I also hope this is a temporary thingy as well. Should feel better next month, I hope.
So, there you have it as to why I haven't been blogging for a while.
Oh, we did go to DC for fireworks on 4th of July. We go there every year, anyway and the girls had a blast last weekend.
We also went to the zoo. One thing good about DC zoo - there is no entrance fee. Map is $2.00 but we decided to save 2 bucks by taking a picture of the map at the zoo entrance. Smart, eh..???

At the zoo entrance.

Reminds me of the "Two Little Tigers" chinese song.

Lock-in Leopard.

Some kind of deer????

I think this is Mei Xiang. I don't know - I could be wrong.

Great pose, eh?

With her sister - my two lovely girls.

Dumbo.

An elephant can lives up to 50 years-old.

Some ugly looking mammal.

Hakuna Matata?

Isn't he cute?
After visiting the zoo, we went back to the hotel to rest.
By 5:00 pm, we headed to the monument for fireworks.

We were literally right below the monument.

We laid the picnic blanket out and started to settle in.

It was a hot day and we were roasting. Like a pig.

Open air concert. Free - no cover charge.

Chillaxing.

See our new blue Coleman cooler? $20 from Walmart.

Good use of the cooler as ottoman.

Busy FBing.

Do you like my blue flip-flops? On sale for $4.99 at Aeropostale - my new favourite clothing store. Ha!
The following 4 pictures of Emma with 4 different poses.




Which one do you like? I like them ALL.

Proud to be an American.

We waited for 3 hours before the fireworks started.

And the fireworks started at 9:20 pm sharp.

It was reported in the news that $226,000 were spent on these fireworks. Whoop Whoop!
Here is the video of the fireworks. Please, please.... click on the "Play" button.
I took every effort to make this video for you all and you should at least take a glimpse at it.
Note - That was me in the video, screaming my lungs out.
Warning - the video is 8 minutes long. The first part could be a little boring for some of you but fast forward it to the last 2 minutes and watch the finale. You will never regretted, I promise. They do the same finale each year. It's pretty amazing.
Alright, here is the deal.
I will do my best to update my blog as often as I can. I know I still have quick a number of readers returning and checking on my blog daily.
Thank you for your continuous support and I shall return very soon.
