Whatever form they come in, pandas are just so cute! It’s amazing all the stuff made in their image.
When I saw this shirt on Woot, I just HAD to get it!

I’ve mentioned before that I really like yumberries, which are a blast from my childhood. It seems that many other delectable fruits that I encountered on my visit to China come in shades of red too; check them out in their perfectly beautiful glory!
Strawberries so neatly lined up! Don’t forget the watermelon too.
When I first saw these, I thought they were fake plastic ones!
Mangosteens grow such perfect petals that they seem fake too.

And no, I don’t mean stuff made from animals!

A little bit of snow finally came ’round. I love all the snow you can see falling in the pictures – those flakes got pretty large!

For a period, my cousin and I had to fend for ourselves, so we got into cooking rather than eating out or microwaving. This is what we ate that week…
Day 1: chicken & snow peas, tomatoes & eggs, rice. The chicken was leftover from my mom’s previous dish.
Day 2: potato strips, sausage with carrot & snow peas, mung bean jelly, rice. The jelly is a cold dish.
Day 3: potato strips, sausage with carrot & peas, tomatoes & eggs, brownie, rice. Rice not pictured.
Day 4: chicken noodle soup, sausage with carrot & spinach, mini quiches, tomatoes & eggs, rice. Soup & quiches from store.
Day 5: chicken noodle soup, spinach & eggs, mini quiches, rice. Soup & quiches from store.
Dogs in cars

I come across a fair share of dogs waiting in cars for their owners (sometimes with them too). Other than the pair of dogs I saw hanging out together in the front seats of a car, here are some others I’ve noted:
This one was waiting for its owner to get lunch at Panera Bread. I was pretty startled when it barked at me fiercely!
This one was waiting with its owner for someone to come out of the Hertz rental return. I was shocked to see such a large dog staring at me.
This one was waiting for its owner to get packages from the rental office. It was so calm and still.

This is what we learned about the way we stand:
You can see I hold most of my weight on my heels and tend to put a little more pressure on the right.
Meanwhile, Panda puts a lot more pressure on his left foot.

Aerie by American Eagle had this promo where you could get free underwear in store, or get it for $0.01 online with a code they texted you. Panda and I happened to get sent a total of 5 codes and since it didn’t say you couldn’t redeem them all, I did! Fun times. 🙂 I am now totally a fan of Aerie and will go to them for my future undergarment needs.
They came in discreet black bags.
So many fun designs!
All set for the week. 🙂

I’m not usually one for fanfare, but I do love a nice surprise now and then. Look at what Panda got me for Valentine’s! 🙂
What’s this?!
Peeking inside…
Baby Panda checks out the treat.
The red box opens up like flower petals to reveal a jewelry box.
Cute little round jewelry box topped with a bell!
The next layer is the baggie.
Almost there!
Yay, a cute little ring!
Look carefully and you’ll notice the “petals” are actually the TOUS bear wrapped around a sweet little Murano crystal.
