This is not the usual baby sitting for a couple of hours while mommy is gone. My wife will go back to work starting this week and I will have to baby sit while she’s away. We decided that we’ll take care of our baby ourselves. We don’t really want to put her on a [...]

On our way back home from Yosemite, we encountered a family of four deers crossing highway 120. It was downhill and luckily I wasn’t going too fast. I stopped and took a snapshot of the last deer to cross the road.

We were gonna to the park today for a nice bike ride and a stroll with my child. As usual, after an early Sunday morning worship service, we always go to my parent’s house for breakfast. In the spur of the moment, our plans has changed. We are going to Yosemite instead. It’s just a [...]

I didn’t go to work yesterday because I wasn’t feeling very well. Then after lunch, I started shivering. It’s been a few years since I got sick this bad. I knew it was coming when I went to work on Thursday with a headache. I think it was in the mid 80′s yesterday and yet [...]

mood of the week >:o(

I did a 5.2 mile loop today around my neighborhood – Nieman to Yerba Buena. It’s mostly uphill but not too steep. Next time, I’ll try the opposite direction. Yerba Buena is about 1.5 mile climb.

I normally don’t like medicinal drugs unless I really need it very badly. But my allergy started again and it’s been bothering me everyday. My wife recommended Benadryl for me. She’s a nurse so I took her word for it. Actually, I didn’t know that Benadryl has a medicine for allergies. I thought they are [...]

My Church has an ongoing summer fitness event at the Groesbeck Hill Park every Sunday afternoon. It started last week but we didn’t get out of the car because it was windy and cold. But today is the opposite, it’s 92 degrees burning hot outside. Groesbeck Hill is a great exercise and physical park. It [...]

Donna went for a training all day today so I’m baby sitting. This is the first time I’m all alone with my baby for the whole day. She’s sleeping right now, I just sneaked out. Dang it,  now she’s crying. Gotta go…

baby sitting all day… wah

Wow, what is up with the weather. Just a couple of days ago, you can barely see the sun. Since yesterday, it feels like the summer has begun. Oh well, just enjoy the moment right. Another gorgeous afternoon for a nice bike ride with my wife and daughter. This time, we went to a hilly [...]

Who can’t resist the gorgeous weather today. It must be around high-80s. I got home early today and had a chance to enjoy the weather outside. It’s too nice not to take advantage of it. The afternoon is perfect for the family to send some quality time together. So we got outside, rode my new [...]

So the bike was delivered by UPS yesterday. The shipping took about a week, from TX to CA. I’m pretty satisfied with the overall transaction. It actually exceeded my expectation. I placed an order on the 1st, the following day I received my UPS tracking number. The transaction is through Paypal. I was skeptical at [...]

I just got a phone call from my wife, my bike has arrived. Thanks to UPS, the bike was delivered at 3:36pm. Can I go home now. Work is so distracting.

mountain bike just arrived

I just had a massage this evening. I had to get my wrist fixed, it’s getting annoying. I am not sure which is more painful, my injured wrist or not being able to ride my motorcycle and bicycle Hopefully, it’ll get better by tomorrow.

Awesome! Now it’s a waiting game. UPS, please be careful with my baby.

My quest for a new mountain bike is over. It took me almost a month looking for a new bike. Every night I go online checking out the forums, posting questions and looking for good deals. I can already memorize every single mountain bike post on Craigslist, lol. I’ve also visited a couple of LBS [...]
