Live what you love

Is that what we are really aiming for in life? Live with what we love? I live for myself, my husband and my closest siblings and family members...what do i love? A lot of things! but when you come to think of it..its just things!



Mainly for a fact that we tend to overdo it. Like the world is going to end without having those "things" that we thought can make us happy. Here's mine just for shits and giggles:

Here's what I love:

1) My husband: obviously for all the right and perfect reasons to live for...its quite a no brainer, don't you think? heee*
Trying to have that: "please, don't make me eat shumai" look. The outcome was quite effective. lol.


2)Photography: can't leave the house without it -- I'd rather carry tons of weight on my shoulders carrying heavy gadgets most especially my camera equipments rather than clothes. heeee*
Had to take a self-portrait, taken in Maesai - Northern part of Thailand, border to Myanmar (Burma), August 2011

3) Cooking: It should be first, no? Well..whatever..it goes together for me anyways..pictures and food..fantastic couple eh?



4)Travelling: Mommie always tells me, I always have an itch from the bottom of my feet, can't stay in one place..I have to be somewhere. That's why am really happy knowing that I finally found Eric..my partner in scratching all my itches. heeee!


nice beetle..only missing part is being spray painted..my lurverine would gladly get this for us.. 

5)Arts and Crafts: that includes sewing (of course..heee) wow..before I put this on the second place right after cooking..guess when you grow older your priorities change. Otherwise, it doesn't matter..everything is very well treated equally loved. =)



I stop from there..as for now I don't have anything to add. So how about you? Do you live what you love? What are they? Care to share? hrhrhrhrh =D

Let's begin with Monday...

As we are now reaching our one month and 3 days stay here in Li, Lamphun district of Thailand...we are discovering more Thailand culture than ever before.  I can't even believe that we are currently living and working here.  If memory would serve me right, last year when me and my husband at that time are still dating...he actually gave me that idea of moving to thailand is the best way for us to be together.  We were not even contemplating of getting married just yet! hah!

Oh well...as the story goes...

So here we are, together-- adjusting to everything, down to the weather up to whatever you can think of we are in it! Right now we are in the middle of working our documents to be sent off to the Immigration of the Kingdom of Thailand which is actually way overdue and supposedly be done by our so-called agency. But nothing happened.
