365 Days Photo Project: Week 1 and 2

It's so unfortunate that the website where they post a weekly photo challenge has shut down. Hopefully, they will keep it up coz I believe it has good amount of traffic daily. But anyway, I am going to start my weekly photo on this blog.

Week 1: Something Cold

This photo is overexposed due to the improper settings of my camera and it was taken from a moving car on a snowy day so taking a photograph is a challenge. These trees are by the snow covered river across Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Week 2: City Landmark

Boston Landmark

Wow Over A Month

Since my last update on this blog! I forgot about it after getting a new Macbook coz I'm trying to get use to my new notebook. There were so many fun things happened during the last month of December. We had Christmas Party at my friend's house on the 22nd and the weather was not friendly at all. There was 0 visibility due to the snowstorm and the road was so dangerous but that did not stop all of us at all.

Last month, I also got my first ever car and named it Tiffany a cute Chevy Aveo that's perfect for my size. I am horrible in parking so getting a compact car is a great idea, does not matter if I parked it crooked as long as it's inside the parking spot then I'm good.

We spent Christmas in Atlanta at my in-laws where we drove to their cabin in Talking Rock, GA. Ernie, my in-laws neighbor's cat spent Christmas Eve and day on the 60ft high tree trying to save himself from predator that got him stuck and was not able to come down himself. Luckily, he was rescued on Christmas day.

Luna Did It Again

On a cold windy night this wintertime my dog fell in the pool the second time. We let her go out before bed time and she's used to the pool area already after falling in the deep end. Since it's winter the pool is covered. Our pool guy put pool covers on the last week of November before the snow hits our city.

For some reason Luna fell in the pool again, it's so funny but I really felt bad for her as she's freezing. I was starving and preparing our dinner but I had to bathe the dog first or else the pool chemical will get into her skin.

Birthday Gifts, Any Ideas?

My friend's birthday is fast approaching, it seems like yesterday I just sent her a present but time flies so fast. I am a fan of gift cards but that does not work well back home, I have been thinking of girlfriend gifts birthday to order online and have it delivered to her doorsteps. Would it be flowers, perfume, jewelry or spa gift certificate? I will talk to her and pretend I am not fishing information for her birthday wish list.

Since our birthdays are just a month apart, I think I can also make another trip to visit my family and friends. I had the biggest birthday celebration last year held at the resort. I realized I have a huge family that keeps growing every year.

White Christmas?

Right on time when I was about to do our holiday cards to send out to our family, it snowed. Perfect to have a white Christmas theme this year. We got about 5" snow in Albuquerque and another one is coming this week. I haven't been to the ski area yet up in the Sandia Mountain but sure one day we will find time to go there. There are some ski stuffs in our garage but who knows if I know how to use them. I never tried skiing and I don't think I know how to jump off the ski lift.

Here's our view 2 weeks ago, the Sandia mountain is covered with snow. It's all white! It's so beautiful.

Cleaning Services

My biggest challenge in cleaning the house if my pet fur everywhere! I can't vacuum them off so vacuuming is off my list. I would love to have someone to professionally clean our home just like what I saw in NC durham cleaning services few years back. Although, we have cleaning services in our area too but cleaning is like our bonding every weekend.

We do have a great pool guy though that maintains our pool. We are happy with his service so we got him an ipod shuffle for Christmas. So far our pool is closed for the winter and hope to open by early February.

Beautiful Sunset in Albuquerque

Every State in the US has its own beauty. Among the four States I have lived in so far, New Mexico has the most beautiful sunset. I love the beautiful array of colors in the afternoon touching the Sandia Mountains. It was breath taking driving in the afternoon down the Tramway overlooking the sunset.

Yesterday was one of the beautiful sunsets in town, after shopping at Uptown Mall, we were driving back home in the perfect view. I grabbed my iphone and I had the opportunity to capture the amazing sky.

Meet Carrot

The day was cold and windy, I was about to collect our mail when I heard something under the bush in our front yard. Someone greeted me with warm hello, who was it? It's a cute bunny! I grabbed my camera, changed the lens and tried to get closer to this cute creature. Luckily, I had my 300mm nikon lens on my dslr, I didn't have a hard time taking a good shot of this bunny.

I called hubby right away at that time he's out of town. He asked me to leave a piece of carrot so the bunny won't go far and look for food. We named it "Carrot", we presume that this bunny is a girl. She 's our regular pet in the front yard, you can see her hopping from one bush to another. She has a little nook under the bush, we leave lettuce for her food. She's been around for almost two weeks already. At night we can see her at the neighbors front yard but I guess her favorite yard is ours.
