I truly love all kinds of kitchen gadgets, but one of the greatest buys I didn't know at the time is my slow cooker. It can make soup, cook protein and bake cake and I don't have to hover, be hot or get sticky (and believe me, I love to cook). Love my shiny, red slow cooker, which I think I bought from Target 5-6 years ago. Still works wonderfully.


10 Must-Have Essentials for a First Kitchen

Um, I also painted for the first time, 6 weeks ago. I wanted to puke after hours and hours of trying to get a small kitchen painted and swore I would never do it again (but I think I will). But definitely ditching the idea of painting my whole house. The boring bland off white color will have to do, thank you. The trouble was I am really petite, so going and down the ladder and standing on tip toe got old super fast. My tip, invest in a long roller.... Also, buy the thin, trim, finishing brush earlier on. After 2 days of painting, went to Home Depot to get the small paint brush to put finishing touches on unfinished edges in and 6 weeks later, I have still not done it. Hahahaha.


Real Life Lessons from a First-Time Painter

I love schlepping, but I do not love the way I look when I do it. I was definitely more comfortable schlepping when I was younger and didn't care what I looked like. Now... a little more difficult to be the "bag lady" going down the street. I live in Long Beach, CA now, so walkable-driveable-bikeable city. When I have some time from myself (ie weekends) I am sure I will schlep smallish totes up and down the blocks. Hahaha.
I love this article though. Ode to schlepping. But will look for a bike soon, to help. Hahaha.

I so love the light in the room. I really like my new apt, but it's too spacious and not enough light! I need more light! (haha a la Farscape. Anyone?)

I loved reading this post with everyone's opinions and comments. Made me chuckle all the way! As for me, occasionally, I dream about the quaintness of a small, rural town, but I know I would never survive it for more than 2 weeks (thus I have never lived in a truly small town). I am not a cricket or farm loving person. I love big cities and love vacationing at these places, going places and seeing sights, but I wonder if I would be driven away by traffic/congestion eventually. I have spent all my years in either a small city (internationally and in the US) or a moderately bigger city - so I can feed my love of arts and entertainment, museums, diverse people & culture, a little noise and jostle here and there, I can still walk/trek/bike, or ride a train, drive my car or hop on a plane at the nearby airport to get away! If I want quiet, I just vegetate on my apartment couch with all my doors closed, which I do often. It's perfect.

thank you for representing my hometown! Hehe, cute, cozy house. Love the pops of color! I'm moving soon (now out in CA). Can't wait to make my home cozy, cute and comfortable, but still stylish of course.

Oh yea, and my bras go on my door handles (bathroom & bedroom) and I have to remember to hide them when company visits.


What are Your Quirky, Live Alone Habits? New York Times

Love this article. Would certainly love to be in a relationship, but LOVE living alone. To celebrate being a singleton,
- I dance around my apartment, especially my kitchen, crazily whenever I want (no one around to give me weird looks for wiggling my butt or my bossom, or clucking like a chicken during my dancing)
- I have piles of things (books, dvds, papers, beading materials, etc) on my floor, and only I know the secret path through them (I am untidy, yes, but not dirty about my piles)
- I jump up and down a lot (just my garage below - yay!) Can never live with someone below me 'cuz the jumping up and down is a constant energy-reliever slash itch.
- I scream at my TV & burst out laughing at whatevs (nobody to get annoyed)
- I play my music really several decibels louder than good for hearing, & I snooze my alarm several times in the morning until I'm satisfied I'm truly awake,
- My dirty clothes spend a few days on my bathroom floor before they are transferred to the hamper
- 1/4 of my queen bed holds me, and the other 3/4 holds books, lists of things 2do, head ties, clothes, more books, music, occasionally, my PC (but trying to change the latter).
- and etc.
The freak show that I put in my apartment knows no bounds.
I <3 this article & reading about other people's quirkiness!
