Weekend away from Reality

It's only human nature to wanna run away from problems when something bad happens. And that's what I did. I thought to self, ah what the heck, I need to take a clean break, away from all these unnecessary dramas, and of course, the best way to do it is to be physically away. :) Thus I went home with Sounjew and spend some family time with her family. Love the fam, they're awesome possum peeps. :) So began our little weekend trip - Sounjew, Nathan and I carpooled up to Nor Cal on a sunny Friday afternoon.

It's her little brother Andrew's graduation. :)

Her little nephews. :) Iggy (behind) and Di Di (the up-close one).

"Come let's go to the front to see Uncle Andrew."

Aww how cute! Here's how a friendship blossom.

Meet the fam. :)

This is Sounjew's daddy. He's Laotian Chinese, so we converse in Mandarin. :)
The first time I went to their house last Thanksgiving, he went out to get
me crullers and pao and made me coffee for breakfast. :)))) You can imagine how touched I was.

Playing with my new baby in the car, on our way back from the Asian Market. :)

Love that transcends words..

I love how they treat me as part of the fam and let me help in the kitchen :)

And they can make wicked iced coffee!! It's delish! hehe and I manage to fish out the secret recipe! ;)

Laotian food has a lot of vegetables. no need to worry about constipation hehehe. :P

Iggy and I spent some quality time together playing baseball :)

no lah actually all i did was throw the ball and him attempting to hit it. i love kidss..

fate brought us together and from there a friendship was born :)
love you, friend!

me the big mirror my baby the earring jeanie got me from cabazon
(it's a pair, but for some reason only one was shown in the pic).

and after a long day, we always go back home. always.

because home is where the heart lies. :)

iClick, uPose. Ready?

summer breeze, spring day. what better way is there to spend such a day than to spend it at the beach? hence bunch of us took off to Corona Del Mar beach for the afternoon. to me it's a time to play with the camera. and 'twas perfect because i had my besties around who loved to be in the pictures. :D

some of us. :)

and hence began the shooting. let me introduce to you my stars of the day:

pengchuan, jessoms and chean. :)

1, 2, 3, jump!!!

are they cute or what!

the album cover shot.

bff :)

and for some reason, every time i look at this picture i just wanted to burst out laughing,

because jessoms had this look on, as if she's gonna cry -- i told her to stop laughing and
put on a cool face, hence the outcome. XD

Translation of their expressions: chean - love me, i'm sexy!
peng - i'm having an orgasm right now!! jessoms - rock on, yo!!

sequel to the previous picture: Chean - blow you a kiss ok?
peng - wait, i think i need to fart.
jessoms - i'm a hardrocker (do i look convincing people?)!!

peng: she's as light as a feather, omg! :D

run, peng! run! (as opposed to run, forest! run!) haha lame. i know. :D

triple X hehe :)
somehow the picture made me think of chromosomes.
occupational hazard. -___- sick, i know!

hyperactive people they all! :P

i just love their genuine laughs here, dont you?!

solitude. is.

a gang of good friends is all you need to be happy, really. :)

the cutsie boy who posed for me. :) i think he's 5. just a guess.

the house on the right looked as if it's only half a house. haha!

me. :)

sunset, while it lasts.
captured in a split second to be kept forever.
