happy v-day.

happy v-day, world.

v-day is about alot of things. it's also about nothing at all. hallmark was quite the genius to create this holiday. but who can deny loving the gifts and sweet things that often times comes with v-day?

for all the "memories" i can now keep of you and me.
thank you my love

happy v-day.
happy you + me forever day.

why?

why are people so difficult to deal with around here?
why is there a shortage of helpful, kind people and an excess of hateful, dishonest ones?
why doesn't the CNY spirit instill kindness in people's hearts?
why aren't there enough vacation days in LIFE?
why is there so little time to sleep in, enjoy life and dig my toes into warm sand next to turquoise water?
why is it always so cold and wet in this city? on the bright side, hail was pretty neat. made me miss hawaii shave ice.

one can dream..

sigh...

things i need:
1. a lawyer
2. an accountant
3. a personal assistant
4. a vacation that never ends.

things i don't need:
1. an insane, sociopathic landlord
2. tax headaches
3. scam artists swimming around me like piranhas
4. daily deep sighs because this has been one unlucky year so far, day by day.

god, i need a weekend meditation getaway in big sur right about now...

tax season..on second thought.

i would gladly trade in my miniscule fed and state tax returns to avoid the complicated US and China tax process i am enduring now. now i need to find a chinese accountant to save me from tax fraud. turbotax isn't my best friend right now. :(

tax season.

tax season is cool for one reason. returns.

Q of the day.

is too much of a good thing a bad thing?

i never knew alone time could be so divine..

for the love of pug..

once a pug owner, always a pug lover. i just had to share these fotos. found it on a Do It Yourself snow-hat blog.

TS.

i LOVE taylor swift. she makes me want to go out and 'swiftly' get that darn guitar i pass by every day.
