And so the bear wakes from hibernation...

And so the bear wakes from hibernation…

Good morning friends! How has everyone been doing? Now that my blogging hiatus is over, I’d like to get back into the full swing of things. I’m gonna be adulting like never before.  To start, the sun’s been poking out more frequently this week, and so the bear (meaning me) needs to move from hibernation to a healthy active lifestyle. I’d say “from hibernation to a healthy active lifestyle, once…

Hiatus over, +career updates

Hiatus over, +career updates

Hi friends. I am just going to sheepishly wave apologetically behind my screen right now, and jump right into blogging before the entire blog turns into a big apology note (and not enough quality content). So I am sorry, and hiatus = over. HI! Happy new year to everyone! It’s 2018 and I see an opportunity: things that were going well last year we can and will continue to build on, and things that…

Tips on Cohabiting, pt. 2

Tips on Cohabiting, pt. 2

Sap warning. So much sap… So, it’s been several months since I last wrote about cohabiting. I decided the second part—and a new blog—was due. Now for those who know me, know that my partner and I came into each other’s lives only barely a year ago, but we played the cards right and we were ready, so we decided to share a home. Fast forward to tonight, we are laughing, healthy, and still in love.…

Wednesday is hump day, but it's not what you think it is.

Wednesday is hump day, but it’s not what you think it is.

Everyone knows Wednesday is hump day. Hump day. It sounds all sexy and fun… but I am writing to share with you about my epiphany. Wednesday is hump day not because we’re gonna hump… But Wednesday is hump day because we’ve made it past the “hump” that is the mid-point of our work week… Raise your hands if you’ve worked hard to get yourself your 9-to-5 job, but you’re also kinda sorta low key sick…

So it’s official. I have finally become part of the Commercial Drive neighbourhood (yo, what’s up fam?!) because I’ve attended and hung out on a patio overlooking a community street festival—last weekend was the super bustling Italian Day on The Drive. This was a pretty jam-packed weekend, considering I got to spend the weekend: getting drunk celebrating my best friend’s graduation, getting drunk getting to know my partner’s Aussie cousin at a house party in our ‘hood, and getting drunk, on food, with scrumptious Korean BBQ with my partner, his dear mother, and his cousin at YOOK (at Broadway & Nanaimo). Key-word for the weekend: drunk

As usual, I’ve allocated some of the best photos to share with y’all. You’re welcome.

  +note: I’d like to take this time to update everyone on my blog posts, as I’ve decided that juggling a full-time job, being a full-time girlfriend/maid, a full-time cat parent, and a full-time student… I would only end up letting you down if I tried to blog biweekly. How about I’ll do a monthly update to share my highlights every month with you? And when time allows, I’ll throw in an extra blog like the icing on top? I’ve been thinking of doing more of a lifestyle x fashion blog, and so I’ll brainstorm some more over this month, and who knows… maybe I’ll launch it in July! Here’s to being your own (life’s) boss! You go, girls (and guys)! Heck, I’ve been following so many fashionistas that I wish I had a “small loan of a million dollars” so that I can start my own line! How about that for life goal/career/lifestyle plot twist? Now, if only I haven’t already spent a fortune on my education, on top of owing the government the equivalent of a downpayment on a house, I’d be braver with spontaneous life choices. Or maybe it’s just past midnight, and I’m delusional and I’m getting too sassy, even for myself.

xo, Lulu

True Confessions of a Noodle-Lover

True Confessions of a Noodle-Lover

So. To all those who know in irl, you know that I am a faithful, Asian-cuisine-over-any-other-cuisines type of person. For those who don’t know me, you will as you continue to follow my blogs. And it’s not that I don’t enjoy my occasional burger and fries, but I am usually most satisfied with a big bowl of noodles, or a big heaping of stir fry (with noodles). I am a noodler, that you can be sure.…

7 Tips for Cohabiting: amateur advice pt.1

7 Tips for Cohabiting: amateur advice pt.1

So, as I’ve shared with you in my last couple posts, I have now successfully cohabited with my partner for one full month. It may not seem like a lot (it kinda isn’t—I know), but I just wanted to make a just-for-fun blog about my experience of cohabiting thus far. Growing up being kind of basic (ha), I read fashion and Cosmo magazines… A lot of them teach readers who have overnight visits from…

So, April has been kind of a big month for the books… I’ve been so busy, but I can finally say that I am happy to share with you readers, that I live with my best friend. He is honest man, he works hard for what he wants and stands up for people and things that he believes in, he is handy around the house and homemade projects, and I think one of the loveliest things about him (skill-wise) is that he can cook (seriously, he’s on fire in the kitchen). He makes me laugh, he likes to make silly songs (usually about me or what we’re doing together), he likes to experiment with cooking, and he loves me—and my cat Bamboo, and my turtle Charlie. Today, I want to dedicate my blog to my lover, my best friend, my partner in shine. He brings the best out of me, and we enjoy doing most things together. We work great as a team (we play video games together sometimes, and he picks the games that are kinda cutesy, and definitely not scary, for when we play together), and we also enjoy separate activities while at home together. As I type this, he’s playing video games and I am blogging, we are both happy sitting next to each other on the couch. I think we’ve managed a happy balance together. After all, since we met last autumn, we’ve kind of have been inseperable—first as fast friends, then something with some more spark. What can I say? He’s my best friend.

Some more great news: Today, my love surprised me with an amazing idea. We went for a walk in our neighbourhood. It was sunny today, and it was so nice out to be browsing the shops with him. We stopped by the local pet store, and naturally, we came out with some more surprises and treats for our beloved pets. Today though, my love told me he had taken some money from the piggy bank, and he decided it was the day to get Charlie a new aquarium, how exciting! We picked some aquarium furnishings that we think Charlie will make use of, and we also picked up a couple feeder fishes as his housewarming feast. What a great idea, and how thoughtful too—to think of every little one of us, always trying to improve our home and family. I love him.

It’s getting late; he’s asleep on the couch now, so I better wrap up and help tuck him in… I can’t actually carry him far, but I’ll get ready and tell him it’s time for bed. Good night, World! May all of you experience such warmth and joy and love with your family too.

+p.s. Speaking of the world… HAPPY EARTH DAY! Any of you local to Commercial Drive, Vancouver British Columbia (Canada)? The annual Earth Day Parade and Festival is tomorrow (er, today, I guess—it’s past midnight now), held along The Drive. Come say hi! I’ll be there!

Home is Wherever You Are & Happy Earth Day to All So, April has been kind of a big month for the books... I've been so busy, but I can finally say that I am happy to share with you readers, that I live with my best friend.

New blog—new life—who dis?

New blog—new life—who dis?

Hi friends! I’ve decided to re-introduce myself, and my blog, with a random fun questionnaire. So here goes. Happy reading!

Question 1: How sneaky were you when you were younger?

Well, I used to wait until my parents were napping, and then sneak into their room to steal from their jar of candies on the dresser. I was maybe 3 or 4. My dad told me he pretended to be asleep to see what I’d get up…
