this blog has been neglected in favor of twitter and facebook lately. i’ve also been too occupied to post many new pictures. for that i apologize and promise that i will post something as soon as i have time. in the meantime jason has requested that we list him in the blogroll, so please take some time to view his blog. note that the first post may be offensive to your eyes, particularly if you don’t have children.
ok, i know many of you will disagree..but this is one of the best sandwiches i have ever eaten 
(perhaps it’s the pregnancy’s doing)
avocado slices+wasabi passion fruit mustard (or honey mustard)+sharp cheddar cheese+canned japanese style ginger soy sauce marinated sardines+baby spinach+toasted whole wheat bread=HEAVEN!!
i’ve eaten one for the past 2 days in a row. ;D
(r prefers his with salami/sandwich meat instead of sardines)
just found out that we will be using those dresses I got in asia before we left (thank goodness i will get to use them now!). we are excited…kai and rick totally called it (every time i asked kai he said it would be a baby girl).
time really flies – it felt like not so long ago that we were dating and still trying to figure each other out; running around the globe on various adventures, and both working eternal hours in hk.
some things never change, some do. i love that we still love spending simple time together. some things that i love about us:
-we love to eat dark chocolate (esp. this dark choc raspberry kind and sees)
-we love eating authentic ethnic foods (we can do this forever)
-we both enjoy cooking (ok, obviously we like food!)
-we both like beach vacations or the beach in general
-we both love thailand and hawaii
-we both like traveling to new countries and discovering a new culture, people and even more food!
-we don’t like to spend lots of money on clothes or name brand items
-we do things and view our relationship as a team, not “this is your job, and this is mine only”
-when one of us is weak or feeling discouraged, the other one picks up the slack and is ready to pull extra weight.
i love you ricka!
i know this stuff doesn’t do any real good until the baby comes out (i have had a few friends’ docs guess wrong), but i keep thinking about whether #2 is a boy or a girl. back in hong kong, a lady told me that by swinging my wedding ring (tied to one of my hairs) over my hand or belly will determine the sex. (circular motion=girl; side-to-side=boy). apparently you can do this to see the sex of all your children. for me when i did it, it said i would have 2 boys and then a girl on the third one.
one time when i was in the hk library, i came across this ancient chinese chart, that is supposed to be 99% accurate in telling the sex of your baby. it says i am having a boy. it was true for kai, but not sure about now. i have both boy and girl symptoms, according to all the old wives tales.
so i am taking a poll. guesses, anyone? and for those who have children – does the chart ring true for you?
we are going public now with the news that baby #2 is on it’s way. we are excited for kai to have a sibling and look forward to all the adventures that await. we don’t know the sex yet, although a guess was made by a different doc that it is a girl. i suspect he may be right as i have had a tougher time on the nausea this time around.
we will keep everyone posted. here is an old ultrasound, as we are now on 12 weeks! baby is due oct 13.
kai is learning how to be a local boy. he knows to call everyone “aunty” and “uncle”, and how to make the hang loose sign (”shaka”). he knows that people here say “aloha” a lot, and tries to mimic that (”ah-woe-hot”). he gobbles down the local foods and just loves the many types of asian food available, too. he is not afraid of eating seaweed, and is often found trying to swim in the water (with or without floaties). here he is at the zoo:
i posted previously on augmented reality being used in gaming. here’s an example of it being used in advertising. very cool, via techcrunch.
on a side note, i’ve noticed a lot of people are landing here after searching for some variation of orange-faced guidos and monkeys peeing. you are odd.
We are enjoying life so much that the blog has been neglected. We don’t really have any excuse. Sorry!
