Aai joins the working professionals.


Yona with her class in Japan.


Vina with the check at Chabuya.


And now Aai, manning the cash registers at Yogurtland. Look at all that tip! Must be because of the "pretty girl at the cashier".

Hahahahahahhahaha...



Yona can't cut bangs straight and Aai didn't notice.

Leftover Leftovers for Lunch

After I got back from our trip, I wanted to clean out the fridge so I took all of the leftover vegetables we had and made a casserole. This is my super-special casserole of potatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, spam and cheese inspired by Marcela's Potatoes au Gratin recipe.



I am now eating the leftovers from that leftover meal for lunch at work. That's considered saving money, right? :)

Wii Fit: Finally!

Max and I went to Target last night in Cerritos and were *shocked* to find the Wii Fit in stock. Finally! We couldn't wait to get home to try it.



The enthusiasm was short lived when I finally got on the balance board to test my Wii Fit Age. Somehow in the last 3 months since I've tried this game at Ie Ing's house, my age has increased rapidly to 40. I am more out of shape than I thought.

Lulu had a fine time watching us make a fool out of ourselves hula-hooping and dancing around the balance board.




Joanna hula-hooping to burn some fat.


Max working on his balance by practicing some yoga poses.


After about an hour, the dogs realized that the pilates mat was better suited for resting than doing actual exercise.

Venza Dog Days



We all went to a Toyota Venza dog event in Pasadena today. I've been working on the Venza launch campaign for months now... I think we started when Elaine was still here last year. Anyways, I was looking forward to checking out both the dog event and the Venza since I'd never been in one.

They had a small set-up in the parking lot but it had a lot of things going on: free donuts and coffee, dog treats, training packets, Toyota dog gear as well as two dog-equipped Venza's for owners and doggies alike to jump in and explore. They took doggie shots and also had a station set up to make your own screensaver of your dog licking cheese or peanut butter on plexiglass. We had a hard time getting Lulu interested in licking.

After checking out the Venza-related stuff, we headed into the park to let the dogs run around. Lulu was more excited than usual to run around in this park. (Must have been the cleaner Pasadena air)

Some action shots of Lulu...









Finally taking a rest...
