Earth Day at Union Slough

2011 - June 4, Saturday

Today was one of those days in which we give to the community and, apparently, was the UN World Enviornment Day. A group of us went to participate in the Union Slough Saltmarsh and Habitat Restoration Project. The project is to improve the wildlife habitat at the saltmarsh restoration site in the Snohomish River delta. Today's goal was to weed out blackberry vines.

Weekend Trip to Port Moody, BC, Canada

2009 - November 9, Monday

Over the weekend, I've made a weekend trip to Vancounver, Canada to meet my parents who recently moved from Toronto, Canada. They decided to get a place in Port Moody near the waters.

DSC-WX1, A Disappointment

2009 - October 9, Friday

It's a disappointment: Whatever said in the product ads do not match up to the actual product. When I was ordering the DSC-WX1, I was hoping that the DSC-WX1 was a match against the Lumix LX3.

Hiking at Mount Rainier: Mount Fremount Lookout Trail

2009 - September 18, Friday

We ended up leaving Seattle at around 11AM. The only map I had was the Google Maps on my iPhone. We weren't sure which should have been our destination since there were about 10 choices that Google Maps gave us for Mount Rainier. We just picked a random one; we figured we can find our way once we get around the area. While heading towards the Southern path of the mountain, we made a pit stop at <> to get some lunch. There were 4 or 5 buildings and realized it was a miner town.

Trip to Isla Mujeres, Mexico – Part V: Coco Bongo and Our Early Flight -

2009 - September 16, Wednesday

We've tried rescheduling our flight. To reschedule, we had to pay $400 extra for each ticket. $800 was more than what we paid for the two way flight for both of us. So we decided to take the last ferry at 12:00AM; get to the airport as fast as we could; check in our bags; and enjoy the club scene in the Cancun hotel district. My girl friend heard about a lot of good things about a place called Coco Bongo which was our venue for the night.

Trip to Isla Mujeres, Mexico – Part IV: Chichen Itza -

2009 - September 13, Sunday

We woke up at 5AM to catch the 5:30AM ferry to Cancun. It was beautiful watching the sunrise from the ferry on our way to Cancun. Watching the sunrise and the dim sun light reflected on the green ocean was an unexpected memorable experience.

Trip to Isla Mujeres, Mexico – Part III: The First Day Around the Island -

2009 - September 12, Saturday

While walking around town, taking photos, and enjoying the simmering hot weather, we encountered a series of street merchants soliciting their rental golf carts. On each encounter, we shnuned them off with disinterested facial expression while walking pass them with a hand wave expressing mild annoyance. At some point, we realized that it might not be a bad idea driving around the small island since we did not have anything planned without our luggage and bathing suits.

Trip to Isla Mujeres, Mexico – Part II: The First Day Around Town

2009 - September 12, Saturday

After breakfast, we went for a walk around town. When we were walking towards our hotel from the ferry dock last night, I identified the island as an authentic ocean front village in which people are relaxed as if they are oblivious of commitments and time. I wanted to capture, at least, the architecture of the island that represents my initial impression of the island life.
