HAPPY ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!

By -
YAY! On Thursday Febuary 4, 2010, it had been one year since Andrew and I started dating! We have grown so much together and can't imgaine being without each other! I feel like my life has changed for the better and through him I have been introduced to so many wonderful foods, bands, and fun things! Andrew is my true love, my other half, my best friend, and my partner in life. :)



Sadly, Thursday was a busy day for both of us. I had classes all day, and he worked all morning and had class all afternoon. He came to my room around 4:30ish and we hung out the rest of the night at his house just relaxing. We gave each other gifts and had a blast opening them! He gave me a lovely eternity ring with gold and cubic zirconias! We pledged our committment to each other. :D



On Friday, I woke up feeling more rested and better than I had during the week, and he only had a short morning class, so we were together all day! Yay! We had lunch on campus (which was pretty good!) and then went to Sakura Grocery and M & W Bakery for dessert and shopping!
Here's my love excited to try some Japanese youkan jelly we got on sale for $.5o. We were sitting in the bakery, ready to devour some good cake! Youkan jelly is made of white beans and green tea flavoring. We thought it was pretty good, but rather sweet. I am not a fan of white bean desserts myself.


(First off, I love how this pic turned out!) We ordered two little cakes and only ate one on Friday. We ate the chocolate and vanilla checkered cake which was fabulous and moist! There were thin strips of raspberry jelly that elevated this cake and added a wonderfully subtle sweetness that just sang in our mouths. Raspberry and chocolate is awesome!


We also got the amaretto cake because I wanted to get two cakes lol. Also, I love almond things, so why not try an actual almond cake? And this cake sure did not disappoint! We actually ate it today because we didn't have time to eat it earlier. It was still delicious a few days later! It was amazing! There was lots of almond-flavored cream sandwiched between layers of fluffy vanilla cake; very small cut-up almonds were in it as well, but they blended into the rest of the cake so well. We both really enjoyed this cake and are so impressed with that bakery! I hope going out on Fridays for dessert becomes a new tradition lol~! ;)
Otherwise, it's the start of a new week and I am going to work hard! I just need to keep my head up and stay positive! I have a four-day weekend coming up, and Valentine's Day is Sunday! Yay! I hope you all are doing well! :)

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...
