As a photo blogger, photo files are so important to me, so when my hard drive crashed on me last November, I had a pretty bad meltdown over potential lost files and memories that I had deemed lost forever. Fortunately, my brother was able to recover the majority of the files on my hard drive and life is a little bit more sane again. 🙂 So the next few posts will be catching up from November, which has been kind of a whirlwind month with so many photo shoots and personal events happening. Tet is just around the corner this week, so I’ll try to post and catch up on everything before then. As with every new year, I am always optimistic for so many good things to come and feel very blessed with so many good things that have already been.So here’s to the start of many more good things to come this year…

Having a niece has given me a good excuse to go to more family oriented events like this light show that the Zoo.

Cooking / Parties

Autumn is finally here! Or so it’s finally beginning to look like Autumn in Houston. I hosted a Thanksgiving dinner with friends again this year. Last year, we decided to take a break and dine out, but somehow the idea of not cooking on Thanksgiving didn’t sit too well with me this year. It’s always a lot of work to put together a large party, but I really enjoys cooking and having everyone over to hang out. This year, I took a more chill approach and didn’t stress on the decor as much. I didn’t even snap that many photos of the party to my surprise, but the food was cooked on time, friends came and ate and conversed, the baked brie was a hit, Pacquiao won, and baby slept soundly through it all, so I guess it was a pretty successful event after all. On to the next…

Miami first…

weekends

My sister and I took a little break from the dropping temperatures in Houston to celebrate another one of my old friend’s wedding in Miami last weekend. This was my first time in Florida and I have to say, the weather here during the winter season suited me just fine as there was no humidity and a constant breeze kept flowing through town. We stayed in a historic cottage in Little Havana where it was cool enough to sleep with the windows open and if you’ll believe it, I even woke up one morning to the sound of a Hispanic woman singing on this beautiful Spanish song. Our hosts treated us to local Cuban pastelitos for breakfast and when we arrived at our cottage in the evening, the cat greeted us at the doorway. Yeah, I guess I could get used to this little piece of paradise. One thing I will say, though, Miami drivers and pedestrians are the worst at giving any fucks about the road, but I suppose that’s part of the blasé mentality I have to get used to about Miami.
