Seattle Art Museum & a few pictures. :)

I visited my first historical art museum with daughter Trina, fiance Ariel, and my fiance Ariel's closest lady friend Misun. I was surrounded by beautiful works of art and because of it, I daydreamed the whole way through. We spent a good 3-4 hours there just wandering around but it didn't even seem like we've been there for that long! :) There was a few times I wanted to just touch a bust from 800 BC. It just drove me NUTS because it was from Egypt! If you didn't know already, I used to be obsessed with Egyptian history as a teenager. I even got to go inside what an Italian room would have been like in the Renaissance period!! We've JUST missed the works of Michelangelo, but the Picasso showcase is due here in a few weeks! *crosses fingers. Thanks to my fiance Ariel and Misun for making it a beautiful day. Now, a few pictures. Glove made for Trina and me by Misun! :) She's knits such wonderful stuff and I'm so grateful she thought of us too. Ariel and Trina enjoying the sunny weather after our visit to the museum. Even though she's only 6, she worries tremendously of my well being because I used to get sick a lot. :) She didn't want me carrying 2 rice bags on my own, so she carried one to help me out. <3 :) Until next time! xoxo- tiff.

Yikes! A little update!

I've totally been slacking off lately but in a way I'm still gathering myself from my awesome birthday week. I didn't do much as I prefer to keep my birthday close and simple, but my fiance took me out the whole day to treasure hunt which was better than anything!

Anyways!! A lot has happened, or so it seems to me at least. First, I FINALLY got my schooling together and I'm due to start next month. Although it may not seem like it, I actually LOVE school! I've always loved it since I was very young with my first school memory being Preschool. In Korea, my preschool teacher would walk around and pick up every one of her students each morning. Then we'd all walk to school together holding hands. :)

My fiance bought me a camera that I've been dying to have; a Diana F+ and I've been having a great time experimenting with it! I haven't finished my first roll of film yet for I've been very careful as to what I was taking a picture of. But I've been writing each setting down from the light to shutter speed.. and also pinpoint photography! :D :D :D

My sister, little brother, and cousin also bought me a beautiful bottle of champagne. I thought she'd be predictable and go for a bottle of wine -since I'm a wine lover- but instead she went spontaneous and caught me off guard. I didn't take a picture of the bottle on my digital but I did on my Diana so until I get those printed, I won't have any proof to show you how pretty the bottle was. It actually took me a while to open the darn thing because I didn't want to ruin the prettiness of it, but my fiance and I ended up killing the whole bottle within a few hours. As cute as my sister is, she also signed a quarter and gifted it to me in celebration of my 25th birthday year.

I also got my geek glasses! I've been wanting a huge frame lately due to my sudden change in style and I LOVE IT! Once again, thank you Honey for fulfilling my geeky appetite.

I also finished crocheting my hat. :) I don't have a good picture of it, but here's one with the hat on. It's been added to my favorite of hats and I wear it pretty much every chance I get. :)

I've also finished cutting up a t-shirt! Of all the little experiments that I've been doing with t-shirt cutting, I have to say that this is my favorite! :) It's a really bad picture but once again, I really don't have another one.. :T

While I was making breakfast one morning, I came across an egg with two yolks inside. I was talking to my fiance on the phone and he commented on how the egg that I was frying could have been twins and instantly made me feel guilty. :(

I also got back into drawing again! I've really been trying to change the style of my drawing to more vintage, but it's impossible!! I've tried to draw those sailor moon characters when I was young, and my straining attempt at achieving anime perfection is stuck on me. I still thought they were cute though.. >.< And here's a few pictures that I found. :) Enjoy!


My Father. :)

My Mom

My partner Judy Springer didn't want to touch the frog.. So she's using the only glove and I'm going bare. That frog stunk so bad...

From left to right: Kayla, myself, Crystal, and Kaitlin. :) Photo taken at Larchmont Elementary on our last day as a 5th grader. :)

This photo was taken a few weeks after I had come to America from Korea. :) Me and my sister.

I thought my Dad looked oh-so-handsome. :) My sister Yina.

:D I'm the one with the red headband on the right.

Eleven: It's scary being an adult.

When I was a child, I used to jump off swings with my friends to see who could jump off the farthest. Now I'm scared of scraping a knee against the tree.

“Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well I won't do that.” - Walt Disney

I was having a talk with my fiance the other night and I told him that I envy those who are naive and sheltered. He admires me for what he calls 'having common sense' and knowing the lifestyle of being sheltered and the knowledge of the streets, but I do envy those that don't.

I remember just a few years ago when I wasn't afraid of anything and some might argue that it's better to be smart than stupid. But knowing too much can be just as fatal as not knowing anything. I think knowing too much is stressful because for me, I fear everything now.

Growing up I heard the term 'the world is a scary place' many, many times. But I never got the meaning until recently and I hate it.

I want to be young again... or at least see the world in the eyes of a child once more.

One of the many reasons as to why I love him

He's sillly. :)

He may have a huge booty, but that doesn't stop his shorts from slipping off to the floor. :) Him unlocking the door while mooning the whole neighborhood. I love him.

Day seven&eight, new category theme. :)

Day Seven

Day Eight

I cheated on day seven. My fiance took that picture but I used it because I didn't take a nice picture for day seven. For the eighth day picture, I had set the camera on top of my step brother's car and put it on time-mode. It took me a little over an hour to get it the way I wanted, but I feel it's time well spent.

I'm going to add another category to my blog and call it Weekly Themes. Each week I'm going to write about a subject. With my amount of hobbies I haven't been able to spend time on my blog, or do I even have a subject to write about. Hopefully this new idea would help me with keeping up with my blog as well. :)

I also spent a few hours before bed working on a hippy headband. :) It's set on a white ribbon with a bow made of sheer sea-green fabric. I also added some pearls on the ribbon... but it looks like it'd fit my Daughter more so than me. :) I've also been making tons of bows I have no use for other than for my Daughter's hair accessories. Pictures of these are soon to come.. I'm at my fiance's house for the weekend and I didn't bring my headband here.

I'm scarred.

When I was at the age of 13, I had been diagnosed with scoliosis. If you don't know what scoliosis is, please, feel free to click HERE. I was scared to death at discovering the news and especially after having found out that I would need a surgery to treat my 'condition'. I had not realized my back was in such a bad state. Matter of fact, I didn't even know that my back would naturally curve to the side as if I was leaning.

Not that many people know of the scar on my back. A scar that I've loved since after my surgery. I have a brace inside my body to hold my spine straight and you can even feel the bolt that holds it together.

At times when people ask me what it is, I jokingly say that someone I got into a fight with took a sword to my back. Their facial expression is amusing, but of course I would tell them about my surgery. I'm proud of it.

Btw, I still remember the name of my Surgeon. :) Dr. Nicholas Rajacich. Looky!

Hello Dr. Rajacich! You probably don't remember me, but I still have the scar on my leg from when one of your nurses accidentally cut me. :T So.. yeah, anyways., thank you!
