Truly Happy Thanksgiving

This year I feel God's blessing through every little detail of my life. As I was driving to work and listening to the radio playing Christmas music, I reflected upon my life at this very moment. This thanksgiving day, I'm truly happy and thankful for my family. It was not extravagant or anything. just simply being together and spending time on the holidays with each other is all you need. We just finished eating Thanksgiving brunch. Omg!! So much food! And we cooked it all and started eatting before our expected time. A whole hour earlier. =) the food was delicious. we had an awesome time. Talking about the food, the drinks and the shopping later. I felt so blessed and loved as I drove on interstate. On my way to another Thanksgiving get together with Vinh's family. And you know the feeling you get when you listen to Christmas music. That nostalgia feeling. <3 I know one day in the future, I can look back on this moment and know I have happy days. This one included. Thank The Lord. I arrived at Vinh's uncle house and spend some more time with my future family* I already feel like a part of the family already* And I stopped for a moment in between my bites of food Vinh fed to me and really allowed my heart to be really happy in this moment. No one can take that away. I love him so much. And I love our family. both his and mines. Vinh walked me to my car and I told him how awesome it is that we celebrated 2 thanksgivings. One with my family, and one with his. <3 Will every year from now on be like that?! Idk but this year was sweet and so comforting and I feel so blessed. Thanks God. For everything.

Grey Circle Lens

I recently received my package from an order I made @pinkyparadise.com for circle lens. I ordered from them before 2-3 years ago and loved it. Their website is very secure and has many selections. They are very professional and emailed me about an out of stock item quickly. The response time and professionalism is excellent. The package came in much faster than last time considering it was internationally shipped to me. I know their products are genuine from a Korean manufacturer because I only see good reviews on them. They happen to be the largest circle lens online store also so I highly recommend ordering your circle lens from here.


There was a promotion going on for Halloween and I received a free pair of circle lens. And each pair of lens you buy, it comes with a cute animal contact lens case. So cute! I really like the grey hippo and purple elephant.


Here's what they look like! I only ordered 3 lens. The brown one was the free pair I received.

Praying for my Father-in-Law

My father-in-law to be has been hospitalized for over a week now. He had a perforated colon and had to go through emergency surgery. He's getting better day by day, but I really hope he gets better soon. We all been praying for his recovery. So many friends and family come to visit him. We all love him so much and really appreciate everyone's support and love. I've been staying at their house with my mother-in-law to be. Just being there really comforts her since she has a heart condition. She worries a lot and Vinh stayed at the hospital with his dad. Especially the first week, he stayed with his dad while I stayed with his mom. My parents are cool about it because of the situation. All they have is Vinh and me. Vinh's dad is getting better today. His WBC went down and he also respond to us when we call his name. So hopefully he recovers soon! Please pray for him if you're reading this. Thank-you! Everyone been so supportive and visits him a lot. It is all you need in this time. Family. <3 br="br">

Coolinary New Orleans

Other than Hurricane Isaac, August was a cool month. With www.Coolinaryneworleans.com!
GW Fins, Iris, and Cafe Adelaide.
I been wanting to make plans to go hang out with Thu but we been so busy. But after some sad news about her life, I immediately took her out for a much needed girl night out. It was perfect because GW offered their Coolinary menu on weekdays only anyways.
Our appetizers with thai calamari and porkbelly/watermelon tasting. The fancy drink is for Thu.




Thu had the seafood bouillabaisse and I had the Batwing. We ate the pecan pie with Ice cream before we remembered to take a photo. Lol! And we were so full to finish the cheesecake. Awesome dinner!




The following week, when Vinh and I had off from work. So,we went to Iris. It was nice cause we dressed up and had a nice evening out as a couple alone. =)




For beginners: He had the duck salad and I had the BLT-like salad. Our entrees: He had the Drum fish and I had the Ranch Pork. And desserts: He had the watermelon sorbet and I had the panna cotta. We also forgot the photos when desserts came out. Haha

Lastly, we went out for Anna's belated birthday at Cafe Adelaide. It's right next to swizzle stick bar in the Lowe's hotel!
Appetizers: I had the shrimp corndogs, and TV had the sweet corn soup velouté, and Vinh and Anna had the veal rillettes.




For our entrees: I had the Duck, Anna went with scallops, ThaoVi had the Fig injected Veal, and Vinh with his grilled Drum.




For desserts: I had cookies and Ice Cream. Anna had her cake, ThaoVi with her bread Pudding and Vinh finished the night with coffee.



I only ate the ice cream cause i was too full to try the cookies too. We boxed it to go to savor later But, we had such an awesome time, we forgot the cookies. Lol!
It was great that Nola had this awesome event going this month. It gave me a chance to try new restaurants. Cafe Adelaide will be a frequency eatery for me. Thanks Coolinaryneworleans!
