random photo of the day:


this is for Sherman. Haha!

Weather today: Raining AND stuffy. Do not like this... reminds me of HK weather.

Excursion

Went on a half-day excursion today...

First up went to Arlington to find this clothing shop, but it closed down. To get there I took the Metro:






Editing: FAIL! (laziness strikes)

So... the clothing place closed down.. not that hungry... but still have to eat.
Found this place, thought it looked cool.. so gave it a try.
Bad tasting sandwich, which cost me $13 bucks... and the worst part is they try to be hip and organic... fail!




So after lunch, it was kinda early... so I decided to go give the Pentagon a visit.
Found out that I need to book 3-4 weeks before to go in.. said a police holding a very large gun... kinda scary. But then I understand why tho.

Too much information...

what should you believe? who should you believe?

the doctor? books? experiences from others?

should we base our decisions on facts? but are facts skewed?
or should we just follow what everyone is doing?

too many doubts.. too many answer.. too much information.
however, when it comes down to life and death... we cannot neglect these things.
the risk is just too much to make the wrong decision.

or should we just quote "@boylouie: 99% of what we worry about doesn't happen. Take control of your thoughts and quit fighting for that 1%"

May 10, 2010

Tiring day today, but I shall get used to it. Currently breaking-in to the day-to-day routines of shopping, driving, cooking, etc... (haven't even got to cleaning yet = =) To be honest, doing those things alone is actually not bad.
What drains you is when you have to accommodate everyone's needs... for example, cooking for picky eaters = double the work.

**Cousin just walked in asking if I need medicine for my headache**
That alone is worth the work laaaaaaa :)



By the way, this is a cool little gadget that they offer at the groceries store.

What you do is...
- you scan your items as you shop (excluding the produce items of course)
- once you are done, go to the self-check out counters and scan this code to complete your shopping
- all the stuff you scanned will be transferred to the self-check out screen
- if you don't have any other things to weigh, etc... you can pay and leave
- also.. every 2 mins or so, it will beep showing you something that's on sale today. (LOOK: I can save $1.50 for getting fat by buying pancake mix!)

Reminder to Self...

Visit BusBoys and Poets at the K Street Corridor when have a chance:

DC

Went to DC today...


Ate at a cool restaurant called Eatonville (in an area called U Street Corridor)




Good brunch (Flat-iron steak with eggs)

Baltimore...

Couldn't sleep, and woke up at 5:30am today. Watched about an hour of drama, then took another 30 mins nap.
Since I woke up early and the kids have a bday party at 9:30 today, I have decided to make a big breakfast for everyone. (they called me Mary/Felix Poppins the whole day) lol!!

After looking at crazy nice houses by the lake after the party, we went to this beautiful place called Baltimore.

The place with the green shelter is Hard Rock Cafe's outdoor grill.

Constant lineup for the 2 hours when we were there...

Oh, this photo was before we went to eat at the Cheesecake factory. Their portion was too big, no wonder Americans suffer from obesity... I mean they can charge the same price with half the portion and I will still be happy.
