Week #43

view of Mission Dolores on my walk home

I didn't take many pictures last week, even with the new iPhone. My mind is completely occupied with my upcoming trip to Tokyo and Seoul. So many things to take care of before leaving and so many things to do there!

Serenity now.

Week #42

Big change last week was that I finally got me an iPhone. I'm ridin' the wave of the future, folks! And these are what's being left behind in the dust. (not pictured: Samsung Uproar. Darn, where did I hide it?)


No more "Can I use your iPhone real quick? I wanna instagram" requests to Mr. Lilacmoon. He might be happier than I am right now.

Week #41

I went to see "Poetry in Clay" exhibit at Asian Art Museum:



Translated Vases by Yee Sookyung


These vases by Meekyoung Shin are not made out of clay! Had me fooled. :)

Week #40

This past week I learned that I could be quite emotional about someone I never knew personally. And how I have to work on clarity in my life.

Instead of boring you with my experience with Apple all these years or how Steve Jobs has affected me, I'd like to direct you to: Steve Jobs didn't by Horace Dediu.

Week #38

Not many exciting things happened this week except I got these cute glasses from the local thrift store. More glassware? Yup. How could I resist the scallop edge or the little handles?

I think I'll use them first to drink the wonderful coffee I was gifted recently. Looking forward to all the color and light they'll help me appreciate. :)

Week #37

Things I want to remember this week.


On Tuesday, I returned from a quick trip to San Diego. More pictures on this later. Hee.


I visited the Museum of Craft and Folk Art to see the "Wrapping Traditions: Korean Textiles Now" exhibit. Check it out if you're in San Francisco! These are some of my favorite bojagi (traditional wrapping cloths) and bojagi inspired pieces from the exhibit.


Mr. Lilacmoon's freshly laundered socks.


And his apron of choice.

Week #36

This week, I started making bracelets with embroidery floss using this tutorial. It's amazing how I'd completely forgotten how to make these since high school (or was it junior high?). I got major backache and shoulder ache by the time I finished this one. Signs of age? I don't remember this being a painful hobby.. but I digress.

This is what happened when Mr. Lilacmoon saw my finished piece above.

Mr. Lilacmoon: Hey, that looks nice!
Me: ..
Mr. Lilacmoon: Make me one, too!
Me: Really?!?
Mr. Lilacmoon: Yeah!
Me: ... okay.

So there you have it. One for me, one for him. No rhinestone chain for him, though.

Week #35

This picture pretty much sums up my week. Lots of time spent in bed with tea and the Internet, thanks to a very tenacious cold. I'm feeling much better now. And look! I managed to finally add a title to my Dry Transfer Edition Field Notes. "Happy Notes" for jotting, well, happy thoughts. A little exercise notebook for a pessimist like me. ♥

Have a wonderful, healthy Labor Day weekend!

Week #34

Sunday I stopped by Photobooth SF.


Monday, Mr. Lilacmoon's long-awaited Steepster Select's August teas arrived. One of the three teas are from our favorite, Red Blossom. Yay!


Tuesday's breakfast was made special with my new favorite, Kouign-Aman, from B. Patisserie.


Wednesday, I had the most awesome shioyaki I've ever tasted (ayu at Sebo).


Thurday at work, Rebecca once again proved to be very difficult to take pictures of. God, I love her.

Hope you all have a good weekend.
