I live in a small suburb of Vancouver, BC (Canada). I'm Chinese, but don't expect me to know any Canto-pop, J-pop, or K-pop. I'm Christian, and am proud of it; but I could probably do better in the whole 10 Commandments department. I am married to a very intelligent and witty man named Joe, and have 2 children - Colin and Cara. They are my inspiration, true loves, and are the biggest pains in the ass. Really. Which is kind of why I have this blog, so I can write all down.
Other quirks:
- I have to play Carcassonne on my iPhone every night before I sleep
- I do all my thinking in the shower. It's the only time during the day when I'm not distracted by anything else
- I am borderline geek, but only because I'm married to one
- My favorite shows from past to present include: Full House, Battlestar Galactica, Modern Family and Homeland.
- I am turning into my mother with each new day - and it kills me, because she annoys me. (sorry mom).
- The last time I bought make up was in 2008. And I only wear THAT make up for special events. I consider myself of the 'low-maintenance' variety.
- I live in my Lululemon pants (favorite pair from 2001) and hoodies
- We have a home Photography business (ChicGeek Photography), yet we only have 4 photos hung up in our house.
- Joe and I have recognized we are hitting our mid-life crisis stages prematurely (we're 27/29 respectively) and our future plans involve: going to Prince George or somewhere North to take photos of the Aurora Borealis, learning to paint, and serious talks about what his mid-life crisis vehicle will be.
- my weird celebrity crush, is Alexander O'Lachlan (Steve McGarrett on Hawaii Five-0) - why? I don't know.
- I ramble when I get nervous, and I cry when I get confrontational.
- Joe was my first boyfriend ever. He was also the exact opposite of what I thought I wanted in a future husband - thank goodness I didn't listen to myself.
- I build really awesome forts
- I wear my 'daily contacts' for more than the recommended 2 weeks. I wear them for months. But my optometrist says my eyeballs are very healthy, so I'm going to keep doing that to save myself money.
- I like mint dark chocolate anything. You can make mint dark chocolate spam and I'd try it.
- If/when I buy new clothes, I almost immediately wear it. If the clerks don't think I'm weird, I'll try to wear it out of the store.
- I have a new hatred for socks. Thanks to Joe.
