Lumpia (Day 31)

Img_6533copy
It's Day 31. The end of January. One month of photos so far...

Additionally, I was able to meet the lumpia deadline since January was "unofficially" nicknamed lumpia month by the supercool Plurk crew! It almost didn't happen because I must be shopping in all the wrong stores and couldn't find these delicious treats.

FYI: Lumpia is the Filipino version of the spring/egg roll which can be served as a side dish or an appetizer.

Night in Chinatown Parade (Day 29)

Spent all day today in Chinatown again for the Lunar New Year. It was a perfect day to be outdoors and ran into a few friendly twitter and non-twitter friends!

After being in the sun for most of the day, I found a somewhat pefect spot in a nice shady area for the parade that is before my bu.t.t decided to fall asleep. So I followed the last few parade participants and that's how I ended up with today's daily photo.

P.S: IMO, I felt this year's festivities wasn't as grand as last year...but I'm hoping next year will be BIGGER since it's MY year! ^__^

Choy Cheng (Day 28)

as seen tonight at Chinatown, Honolulu.

A traditional Chinese lion dance blessing -- Choy Cheng is a term often heard during Chinese New Year and it actually applies to anytime the lion sees a red envelope tied to some fresh green vegetables. They are fed to the lion as an offering with the greens being eaten then expelled by the lion (except for the Hong Bao) as a form of blessing.

Guard Dog (Day 26)

He's more of a play mate rather than an office guard dog! At times he does bark when someone opens the office door but that's because the bell chime sound on the door wakes him from his deep dog nap. Basel the Dog makes everyone in the office happy when he's in the mood to play...which is almost ALWAYS!

A new hairdo (Day 24)

I've been pondering about going short (as in sporting a new short haircut) for quite some time now. I didn't quite have the courage as I've not had such a short style since going back to college in 2006.

Today what was meant for a complimentary bang trim turned into something else. I like it but I'll admit that it'll take a while getting used to it being this short. However, I must say...my head feels a lot lighter and I'll see less long hair on the bathroom floor!!!
