Day 19: Something orange

admin — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:48:14 +0000

I’ve seen this bottle and many others like it for more than half my life. This bottle has followed me since I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis at the age of 16. After countless medications and treatments, I am still plagued with this little orange bottle. But, it’s not as bad as it was 16 years ago. I’m able to move around and do things “normal” people can do since I’m on the right treatment. I’ve never cursed my life but I am appreciative of the many blessings that I have in my life. I may never be at the front of the pack, but slow and steady always wins the race.

Day 18: Your Shoes

Here are my lovely, bright pink shoes. They are a bit too pink for my taste, but with feet that need comfort, these do the job. These are my everyday shoes. I wear them to walk Sadie twice a day, that’s almost 2 miles everyday. That is more than what I used to do and I thank her everyday for getting me up and moving. Without her incessant need to be walked, and she knows at what time everyday she’s due for one, I don’t think I’d be moving around as much as I am today. Thank you to my Sadie!

Day 16: Long Exposure

With help from the hubby and a glow stick, I was able to get a long exposure shot. Looks like glowing hands to me, what do you see?

Day 15: Silhouette

Taking a silhouette photo was a bit more difficult that I expected. If there’s not enough light, your silhouette looks like a huge blob.

Day 14: Eyes

I may not have the most beautiful eyes, but I wanted to highlight my eyelashes.

Day 13: Yourself with 13 things

admin — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:03:41 +0000

What a whirlwind of a weekend. On Friday, we attended a friend’s wedding. Then on Saturday, we headed downtown to stay at a hotel for Sunday’s Houston Marathon. On Sunday, my hubby and a few others in our family gathered at the start line to run the Chevron Houston Marathon. It definitely was not a lazy weekend.

For Friday’s challenge, it was me with 13 items. I wanted to follow a theme, which was all things kitchen.

Day 12: Sunset

I did not forgot today’s challenge, I was just merely waiting for the right time to take the photo. Today’s challenge was to photograph the sunset, and what a beautiful one it was.

Day 11: Something Blue

Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. My something blue for today is my gas stove. I didn’t always enjoy cooking but after my mom started getting too ill to cook, I started to take an interest in making tasty dishes.

Day 10: Childhood memory

One memory that stands out for me is during Vietnamese New Years, we used to play Bau Cua Tom Ca, loosely translated “Gourd, Crab, Shrimp and Fish.” From wiki: Bầu cua tom ca is a Vietnamese gambling game using three dice. The six sides of the dice, instead of showing one to six pips, have pictures of a fish, a prawn, a crab, a rooster, a calabash gourd, and a stag. Players place wagers on a board, betting on which pictures will appear. After eating and giving of lucky money, we’d gather around and take turns being the dealer. We wouldn’t spend lots of money but it was always a ton of fun.

Day 9: Someone you love

This was easy peasy, I just had to wait for the hubby to come home from work. The two loves of my life. My sweet Sadie waiting for a delicious pear and my loving hubby.
