How Life is ... How You Respond to it?

     After almost a year and a half hiatus, I am back writing my blogs again. There are a lot of memorable activities that happened and I recently moved to another house, which I can say without a doubt, is my dream house. It has a nice swimming pool, great landscapes, and a media room in the basement. I always feel unsettled at first when I move into a new place but once I have a vision of how I can make it my home, I'd start the remodel right away. You do everything you can to make yourself "comfortable" in every circumstance, right? 
     I am here at Reno now. Not for skiing, not for gambling, but for my girl's volleyball tournament. A lot of you didn't know I have a daughter who's going to be 13 this year and I am so proud of her unique talents. What do we call them?  iGeneration. The most precious years of their life: teenage years. They are mostly on their own, developing their personality, their existence, and identifying their self-worth. All we parents can do is to support them, guide them, and listen to them. Never force our value onto them until you understand what your children are going through. Capiche??? 

     You probably don't want to read my self "enlightened" mumbling so let's cut to the chase. We enroute to Berkeley and savored some scones and cheese, before we arrived at Reno. And of course, me, in my fashionable attire-- nothing new. I love how mature my awe-inspiring daughter has become. On the road we often-- or I often-- in fact, rant to her about life and about... some couple's problem/relationship. Most of the time she would nod and sometimes she said she wasn't even listening. Oh well, she is officially my bestie (E/N of course I'm her bestie, I'm her editor/daughter). Love her so much. 

Isn't bikini essential when you travel? 


  Recycle my fashion in Reno. Oldies, but goodies, eh? 
The Christian Louboutin studded clutch from Man's collection with strap is currently in season. Women's collection has almost the same doodle drawing but it lacks a cool attitude without the studs.  

 Of course I have to make a dramatic entrance entering my room. 

I thought I would've inhaled all the second hand smoke in the hotel room so I brought my humidifier (lemongrass & Rose essential oils). Now our room smells heavenly. 

If you followed my instagram, you know I am a cheese lover. Those are just half of the Cheese in my fridge at home which I brought over with me. I don't waste food! 

Hope you enjoy my less-than-perfect & just-come-back to blogsphere updates. 
Until next time, my readers. xoxo Jade

Black Swan Part ? - My Gray Swan and the Party!!

Natalie Portman in Movie: Black Swan. (pic. source: Officer trailer from YouTube .com) I have been inspired by Natalie Portman's character in this movie-- Black Swan . She is an awesome actress and I can't wait to see this movie in Nov. I didn't intend to copy everything from her character but the make-ups does seem incredible "Halloween-suitable" to me.  My Halloween theme: 3 kiddos go to trick-or-treat at " Dr. pumpkin Susses ' haunted house". ^O^ More highlight of my creation....

Last Steal Before s/s 2010!!

It has been a while since the last time DH and I went out for a DATE!! Well, I guess a real DATE is just too luxury for us having 3 young children and it always needs a special arrangement for it to happen. Ilona won't go to preschool until this fall so hopefully by then, DH and I will have more romantic date-out alone!!! DH's Porsche is manual and I have no problem of driving it too. Thanks to my driving coach back in Taiwan so I can drive both manual and auto-shift cars!! :) I am not so into cars personally!...... IT to me is one kind of transportation means from destination A to destination B. :) Ilona sits pretty cozily at the back seat! Finally there is my Chanel 08' pink crystals brooch. My ODJ. 1. Top:  Dimension Victorian style white shirt dress RUGBY military inspired coat et vous fur coat 2. Bottom: Dolce Vita denim cut-out leggings 3.
