I got these some weeks back and thought to share it with  you here.  I love gerberas and this is the first time I got a bunch of them in this light pinkish yellow (is there such a thing?) color. The chrysanthemums are my mom’s fav. I always sneak away and buy her some whenever I go to the market with her.

I can’t believe it’s already the end of January 2009! I’ve been a bit busy so haven’t had the chance to post much. Well, in preparation for Feb, let me post some valentine’s related photos!  Here are some flowers my sister had arranged last week for an event at home. She went to the market and got the arrangement for a bargain!They’re lovely! The whole house smelled good too!

I also just learned that the white flower in the middle with reddish purple edges are called paper roses…

Have a good weekend everyone!

I hope your celebration is filled with much joy, love and peace.

My friend unwrapped a Toy’s R Us gift and look at what the lucky guy got!

Here’s my doggie looking at me while i take the pics. Isn’t he cute?

Christmas day is just 3 days away! Let’s see, so far, I’ve attended 4 Christmas parties, wrapped a few gifts, given out some of the gifts, received lots (blessings!) and I’m almost completely recovered from my cold. Yipee! To top it off, lookie see what I got over the weekend!

Fresh Strawberries from Bagio!

Fresh cut flowers

How are your Christmas preparations coming along?

 Can you guess which movie was filmed at that church?

Here are some more pictures of the view from Fashion Mall in Hollywood.

The last time I walked the famous Hollywood Blvd. was about 20 years ago! I still have my first picture in front of the Chinese Theater in a yellowing photo album at home. It was an interesting experience walking the same street again. The area is as festive as I remember it before. There were some performers as well people in costume walking around for people who want to take photos with them.

Here are some more pictures of the city! Sorry, these were taken from the bus so you may see some lines/reflection.

This train runs through the LV strip and is connected to several hotels for the convenience of the guests. Vegas traffic is bad, so this is one way for people to stay out of the heat and onto those casino seats fast. hehe…

I was told that I have to see The Venetian hotel as it is one of the interesting theme hotels on the strip. Here are some photos of the interior of the hotel, with the their built-in Venice - complete with the warm blue sky, canal system, gondolas and accompanying singing rowers.

The 4th of July was a fun experience for me in Vegas. I walked around Fremont Street with all it’s shops and restaurants offering food for the celebration. The main highlight for me was watching a couple of lively lights shows projected on the barrel vault canopy which runs about 4 blocks long!

Since it was the 4th of July, they played a lot of “American” music which the lights/images are choreographed to. One of the songs played that night was “Bye Bye American Pie” by the Beatles. I thought that it would be fun (and perhaps more appropriate?! haha..) to use “American Boy” given to me by some friends for this trip for this video instead.  Enjoy!
