Soft and Delicious

Someone, please take the bag away from me. I can't stop eating these Aussie style gourmet red licorice. Really hard to resist!

Enjoying life and so many things to look forward to...

You'd think I'm crazy if you knew what an type A personality I am. An obvious example; I am very time conscious. If I'm running late anywhere, I'll feel anxious, and that is why 99% of the time you'll see me on time or early. Another thing about my personality is my love for making lists. I do believe in living in the present, but I can't stop from making a list of future plans and goals. People who know me teases me about having my weekends booked up far in advance.

List - Things I'm looking forward to this next couple months:
My Halloween costume will be in the mail this week! It's going to be a great Halloween!
Camping trip at Goblin Valley! I can't wait to run around and climb my way around those weird-looking rock formations!
Going to Arches with my bro!
Spain!
Someone is taking me on a surprise weekend trip in October!
Hiking Adams Canyon!
My birthday's coming up!
Visiting families in California for the holidays!
Swimming lessons. (as much as I love wearing life jacket and having good looking life guards come to my rescue) This is a pre-req. for my summer plan of 2010.
Paying off school loan!

So far, this year have flown by so fast. I can't believe autumn is just around the corner. It's been a really fun year, I would say this year's theme has been "enjoying life, and taking advantages of what Utah has to offer in its outdoor recreations."

So many things to look forward to...

Fact: I'm too excited to go to sleep.
Fact: I lay on my bed thinking of all the things I want to do in this lifetime, therefore I have a hard time going to sleep.
Fact: There are so much to see and do in this amazing world.

P.S. My birthday is coming up! And then Halloween! And then Thanksgiving in California!

I had a great time with our visitors from Korea. My brother and I hosted two boys, age 10 and 12, while they were here to perform at the local festival. This was the first time we've hosted international visitors.





Their performances were great! I was really proud of them!






We took them out for Dim Sum. And then we went to a street festival in Park City. They love to hola hoop. First, they'd use a single hoop, but these kids were more talented than that, so they showed me they could work two hoops while giving the peace sign.




I must admit, they were such good kids, it was hard for me to say good bye. As I farewell to them and the other kids at the airport, one of the girls said to me, "Kamsahamnida... you give us kim chee, thank you." The day after they arrived, I made a trip to the Korean market and pick up jars of kim chee for my boys and left two with each of the other host ladies I met. When I stopped over at another host's home, some of the Korean girls were cooking in the kitchen and showed me the biggest smiles when I pulled out the jar of kim chee for them.

Good times and good memories... kamsahamnida.

Goblin Valley and Little Wild Horse Slot Canyon

Sometimes I get obsessed with a place that I've never been to... until I get there and satisfied my wonders and curiosity.

Goblin Valley and Little Wild Horse Canyon is where my curiosity wants to take me. Look at these websites and tell me you don't want to go there.

You must see it!

I like the love story, the soundtrack and the fun vintage outfits.

A fun dance number - express well how he felt after a big event between him and his lady.

Fainting Goats

Have you seen this? It's cute. They would fall over when they're excited or startled.
