salmon dinner

salmon with soy sauce, lemon juice, little bit of brown sugar, garlic, shallots, pepper (+grilled veggies and rice)
spinach salad with lemon juice+olive oil+salt, pepper + parmesan cheese

i know i posted about my salmon dishes many times but i guess i can say it's my specialty!

❤ L.A

hiking on a new path (for us) in griffith park.

while hiking, brad said "pepe loves los angeles". haha. i think our dogs are pretty lucky since they go on hikes all the time with us. i love living in LA.

pretty things

1. two hawk feather's from artist frohawk two feathers -- thanks umar!


2. this plant in front of my house makes me happy.


3. my dries. (i'm in love)

malibu

a seafood restaurant called "reel in" in malibu is one of our favorite places to go. their cajun style ahi tuna is so GOOD and it's fun to eat at the patio with great views. our sunday morning was lovely.

and yay for bigger photos! xo

we got to dress up for an event last night. my outfit was all vintage except the new YSL shoes which were super comfortable all night.

i've been watching this couple of morning doves everyday since we moved in. they are always together and it's so sweet.


our tomato plants are looking great. i can't wait to eat them.

*edit*
the doves are mourning doves not morning doves. but doesn't "morning dove" sounds better? : )

: )

thanks for your comments. your kind words mean a lot to me and i feel so encouraged. these my little film projects have been keeping me very happy.


next a couple of weeks will be busy with non creative work. i'm glad i got to go to the beach with the dogs.

video diary

i made another test video inspired by Le ballon rouge! hope it doesn't bore you too much. it's so hard to shoot myself. (many thanks to brad for helping me) i'd like to find someone to film soon. also i'd love to have final cut pro. editing in imovie is frustrating.

again, this is just a practice video. please no mean comments! thanks for watching. : )

ps: the music is by b.fleischmann.

"hello"

(just random photos)

i went through all of my old posts last night and it was pretty fun. i've been doing this since march 2005 (sadly i deleted my 2005 posts. i don't know why!! ) my blog is like my photo diary. i'm glad i have this space. : )

edit : the cupcake recipe i used

have a nice weekend

did you notice my hair even shorter than last week? : )

i'm ready for summer. the beach, BBQ, evening walk, trip to the rain forest....
i want to learn how to swim but my aqua-phobia doesn't allow me to do it. i wonder if it will happen this summer. i promise myself i will try again.

this week's been crazy. i'm hoping to have a peaceful weekend.

oh! i almost forgot. there's a bake sale this sunday. yum yum!!

ysl

my very first YSL sandals. got them on sale and they were the last pair in my size. i don't usually wear dressy/pointy shoes but i realized that i need at least one great pair of black heels for some fancy affairs. i don't know if i can even walk in them but i feel like a grown up. : )

from the beach

i finally found a purple sea urchin. (i used to be obsessed with sea urchins!)

long day

there was a photo shoot today at our house. (details to follow) it took all day and i'm so tired. there will be another shoot tomorrow at the beach. fun working with super talented ye rin!

a dress from the goodwill. after chopping off the length and fixing some holes and rips it kind of looks like a mociun dress. no?

love!

i love my new necklace by dream collective. mohawk general store had 4 different colors of this and it was so hard to pick one. this is going to be my summer staple.
