durante la semana

it's been a while since my last proper update,
and i dont think most of my readers still do read my blog.
anyhowwwww, here's an update about
what i normally do on weekdays since my classes are over.

ever wondered?

my cousin Cynthia and I has this, let's just say, "weird" passion for cycling.

the weather was alright but way too hot at first,
that pretty much explains why my skin is turning brown by the moment.

it's that pout face again!

I HAD TO RIDE ON A BICYCLE which looks like one that a 70 year old would get on to go to the morning market to get some fresh fish and blablabla. and i had to paddle EXTRA EXTRA harder when i'm going uphill. brakes don't work that well either; but it was a blast riding around while exclaiming that the "mak cik of all basikals is passing by! make way!"

FAT THIGHS. argh.

don't know which one i like better
so i post up two!

Cynthia!

so we cycled and cycled around our housing area
til we reached a park, and WTFBBQCHICKEN
it STARTED TO RAIN!!!!

then we took shelter for a bit at a sundry shop nearby (thank God). Bought some snacks and that 20cent popsicle that i believe we all use to indulge in when we were in school.

Popsicle, yum yum!

I LIKE TO MOVE IT, move it~

for the past two months (approximately)
my family and i have been really busy with our new home
we've been searching high and low for little things that make up a home
we were literally cracking our brains to the max
when picking the right color combination for tiles and furniture.

dining area;
i can finally say that my new home is 75% ready

so many built-in furniture we can't even walk!

sister going cranky ;p

MISSING cousin

Unfortunately, the word missing above is NOT to show an emotional state of mind. My far-related cousin, Yi Jien has been missing for a total of 28 days now. I've not seen him before in person because he's been in the States almost all his life, but I'm worried. I'm concerned about his mother, his wife and his sisters; I know I've mentioned that I'm gonna stop blogging for a month, but this is important. I hope all of you would spend just a little bit of your time praying for his safety. I still remember when my other cousins, my aunts and uncles, together with Yi Jien's mother would talk about having a huge get together with ALL the relatives over dinner. It's such a shame that I've only got to know about this news on the 28th day.

"Yi-Jien Hwa, the 27 year old hiker from Kentucky is still missing after not returning as anticipated from an ambitious hike in Glacier National Park. Hwa, a married seminary student, embarked on a challenging 7 day hike alone, August 11, 2008, into the backcountry of Glacier with the intention of covering approximately 90 miles with an elevation gain of 15,000 feet and downhill more than 14,00 feet. Family reported him missing on August 19, 2008 when he didn't return as expected.

According to biographical information on a backpacking gear site blog, Hwa is an experienced hiker who has hiked in Kentucky’s Red River Gorge, Isle Royale, Hawaii’s Big Island, and the Smokey Mountains. This summer he and his wife would experience the west in such places as The Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Zion, Grand Canyon, and Glacier.

Apparently he is prepared with gear and supplies for his arduous trip. He applied for his backcountry permit, left a complete itinerary, and an anticipated return date.

My mind wonders, “Where is he and what happened?” He’s been gone so long now."
Honestly, there's nothing we can do, and we're wasting time by just wondering what happened to him or where is he at this very moment. all we can do is just to uphold him and all his family in prayers.
