I'm back, baby~!

Well, hello 2010! A lot of fun things have happened so far, so I have a good feeling about this year! :)


I have been back at school for a little over a week now and it's been intense but manageable. I am now an art major, which means that I'm learning how to deal with classes that are different than any kind I've taken before. I never even took art classes in high school! I am in class almost all day from Monday through Thursday and then Friday is my day to work on art projects in the art studios here. This morning I spent two hours at the ceramics studio trying to learn how to use the pottery wheel. And let me just say that it is NOT easy! It's like a workout! I am exhausted!

I am not going to lie: this week has been hard for me. I guess I have to get used to my new schedule and become more familiar with my classes. I sometimes have a hard time dealing with change, so I have to keep that in mind. I have been enjoying my time with my friends and with Andrew though!! He has been soooo supportive and wonderful! I am so grateful that he is a part of my life! He is the best thing about it! I got him the MOST AWESOME one year anniversary gift ever and I can't wait to give it to him! ;) Speaking of which, it's coming up soon in early Febuary, which is really exciting! My 2oth birthday is in two weeks too!

So, here's a bit about what has been going on since I got back.....

Last night Andrew played a wonderful set at the Java Roma Cafe open mic! I even sang a song with him, which was soooo fun! People even really liked it! I was so nervous and shakey! It's such a rush performing like that lol. I was not used to the attention haha!

Some goodies Andrew's mom gave me last weekend! From the top: a yummy coconut pastry, a sweet maple french toast muffin, and a perfectly savory pork bun! Such wonderful and tasty goodies!!!


Last weekend, my friends and I went to Pacific Pizza for our annual start-of-semester pizza night. :) We had a wonderful time and ate so much!!! Above is the pizza I ordered, the Tiger special with sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives, canadian bacon, and onions. I loved the comination of all the toppings, so I will definitely order this again! :D

My friend Mary graciously ordered us a medium order of cheesey sticks!!!!!!!! YUMMM! These taste delicious when dipped in ranch dressing, which I now like! :D I also liked dipping my pizza in the ranch dressing, soooooo goooood~!

This has been my lunch a couple times this past week. Andrew's mom's black bean garlic sauce beef with mushrooms and broccoli over rice! This is seriously one of my favorite dishes EVER! It's so tasty and satisfying! The saltiness of the black bean garlic sauce is amazing and oh so mesmerizing~ His mom was really sweet to give me so much to take back to my room!!! I love Andrew and his family; they are so special to me! Someday I want to do something amazing for them, but I am not sure what....hmmm.... :)
I will put up some more posts later, so stay tuned! :) Thank you all for reading!

    Oh my goodness, so I don't even know where to begin! Fooooooood! I. love. foood! yumyumyum

    I think you and I can be like foodie-buddies for life =)

    And from what I can read, you and Andrew are so sweet together =) Love is magical.

    Thanks for your comment on me missing my husband; it was nice to know someone else sniffs their significant other's clothing. I wear his clothes regularly around the house too, and grateful to do that.

    Toodles!

First day back from Japan and BIG NEWS! :D

Hello everyone! It's been ages since I have written in here, but there are reasons for that! When I came back from Japan, I became busy and was settling back into my life here in America. I had family obligations, I wanted to see Andrew and my friends, and I wanted to get ready for my junior year of college! First off, here is the big news! The day after I arrived back from Japan, my dad and I picked up Andrew from the train station and we got to spend the day together! It was magical! Andrew surprised me with the most lovely gifts, we went to Indian food for lunch, and then......Andrew proposed to me! After lunch we went to go buy a ring from our favorite funky jewelry shop, and then we walked to a lovely bridge overlooking the creek and he popped the question! It was funny and romantic, which totally fits us haha XD I am so happy and blessed to be engaged to the most wonderful man on Earth! Thank you baby! :D That was a very amazing Saturday, and the rest of my time in Walnut Cre

A Peek into Zalea's World: Part 1

I've changed things up here on my blog and I have to say, I like the new look! ;) As you can see from the post below this one, you can now find me and my blog on Blog Lovin, so check that out! I know I've been writing a lot about the novel I am working on, but I haven't imparted too much information on what it is about. This past week, the Deacon of our church asked to read what I have written so far and that was exciting; no one apart from me has read it and I am dying for some feedback. Since I am nearing the end, I've decided to share a little of my characters and their world with you all! :) All characters, names, idea, and settings are copyrighted to Ophelia Leong. A Peek Into Zalea's World: Part 1 Setting: The first half of the novel primarily takes place in a country called Milania. Milania is a large country, similar in shape to the USA, and is broken through the middle by a wide river known as Whistling Ford River. Whistling Ford River is maintaine

Listening to The Nutcracker on a Rainy Day

Yes, that is what I'm doing. My three sweet cherubs are playing nicely together (miracles do happen!) and I am able to sneak some laptop time. Yesterday I even worked on my fantasy WIP for a little while and that felt really good!  I have been incredibly busy and I really want to write my Feis post! The Feis was amazing and I can't wait for the next one in January! We adults are supposed to get a school dress made for it, but we still need to be measured. So I'm crossing my fingers that it will be ready in time! I'm also learning the Blackbird set dance for my Novice set dance and I love it! I'm trying to get the set part down, with all those fun rocks and such. ;) Oh boy!  New goal: San Francisco Oireachtas 2016! I am THRILLED about this because we live right next to SF and my TC said I will probably be able to do the adult traditional set at the Oireachtas! She's going to help me prepare; I love how supportive my school is. Such a blessing! We are also try
