Yehliu… beautiful sculpture created by nature… I do hope I can travel here on Friday, from that place, we will head to a hotspring location for overnight.
Saturday we plan to take the one day pass train travel around some tourist area in Iilan. From there, we might head to Hwalien on Sunday to Sea world.
I’m really enjoying traveling around and getting to places with Carl. Too bad im not photogenic enough =p
Last Saturday (Aug 22) we went to Maokong tea house. Want to know how to get there? Please visit my Travel –> Maokong. Rose and Bella was with us during our trip but we forgot to take there photos! We ate super late brunch so we were famish =p
Don’t forget to read Traveling in Taiwan page as well. These are some things I personally can’t live without or don’t mind bringing.
Yes…. photos are still in my camera =p hehehe I’ll try to upload some soon ok?! promise! Soon but not like tonight or tom… but sooooonnn =D
I’m having a lovely time with my Nikon 50mm 1.8 lense! It’s a great gift… If Carl have bought it secretly and use that to propose to me, I would take it! Who says diamond is the only girls best friend? =p
Happy Anniversary!
Rose have finally arrived yesterday and she was jumping excitedly to see Carl also. What Carl didn’t know was that Rose was with us all the time when we went to Global Mall. All he knows is that I order fabrics and stuff so he did not think much on it.
Rose surly enjoy the UP movie with us… She was very touch just like me when we saw the movie.
I gave Rose when we were preparing to sleep. I wrote one Cupid Postcard and he realized that the pink stuff inside the box was for him ( He open the box when I was putting away and labeling the fabrics, he saw the name Rose but did not think much of it).
He was laughing at me and said that Rose will surely make him laugh because Rose and I pout! hmph! I dont pout! (pout =p) And hope i’ll always be his cute chick! (chickadee butt moving)
Happy Anniversary! How many years have it been?…. Too long and now I lost count! =p
I recently went to Ximen and Miramar shopping mall. It’s really a different feeling when traveling with someone because you get to share your thoughts. This is my first time going to Ximen with someone and it’s a whole different feeling.
If your curious how to get there, please go to my travel page –> Ximen ; Miramar. We have taken a lot of photo’s but were not able to upload it. I hope I will be able to do that maybe next week… sorry for the delay =p
Next topic would be : Danshuie
I never watch movie here in Taiwan and we thought we will give it a try yesterday since Carl is here. What better movie to watch than a Disney movie!
We watch “UP” which is a very heart warming movie and really touch me. The old man in the movie is called Carl and his wife Ellie have a dream. It’s really touching when Carl realized later on his wife have filled the parts where ” things I will do” when they reach the Niagara Fall…
The kid Russell is very cute and funny. This movie is really nice but it was abit irritating to see big chinese subtitles on the big screen, and boy are they big! I feel like im watching Chinese movies with subtitles hehee
Russell is really funny when he was at the door… He keep on repeating what is said on the manual of his wilderness handbook.. Really a cute kid.
But compare to all of the Disney movie, my favorite is still Lilo & Stitch! hehehe Alien =D
We watch this movie in Global mall. The price was 220/head but because I use Cathay United Bank Credit Card, it’s 220/head. In Cinemas in Ximen station, we saw the movie was around 330/head but we are not sure if this is 3D or not. It was too expensive so we did not watch in Ximen station.
The cinemas are almost same as the one in Manila. But difference is, when people watch movie, gosh, the good they bring do make you hungry! I like to enjoy movie with popcorn at times, but in here, you would hear people opening chips or smell the food they buy, it’s kind of distracting.
Typhoon Morakot came to Taiwan last week on Friday and everyone was happy yet scared. Happy because all throughout summer, there was no rain and our water supply was in critical level. Scared because we are not sure if this storm will bring much damage, and it did…
I have been avoiding the news lately because everytime you watch it, just more bad news. Everyone is helping, here in our office, we even started to donate old clothes as well as funds to the Red Cross. I hope things will turn out for the better.
Things are not turning so well, yet, wish God will have mercy… The amount of rain that came in last Friday ~ Sunday equal to the amount of rain we usually get in a year! So many villagers are buried and trap up in the mountains. Nothing much we can do except pray and hope more survivors and international aids will come. I doubt our country is capable of handling such a task right now. It’s worst than the 921 earthquake!
Here are some photos from the internet:

In all this, it’s abit hard for me to celebrate my birthday because its just around the corner. But looking at my latest adoption Rose, does cheer me up.This is really an unforgetable birthday indeed. First time in 2 years of me being in Taiwan celebrating my birthday and this have to happened =( Carl is coming to Taiwan to celebrate with me, for the first time and we plan to even go to Kaoshiong! But Kaoshiong is hit so hard, how can we go? Even Alisan.. the small train railway of ALisan are broken by the storm due to too much erosion…
It makes me wonder, how can a bridge collapse no matter how strong the storm is. Or is it really possible? I felt maybe the bridge was not build as we thought it should be. I hope our government will investigate and if this contractors cut material during constructions, they should be punish. Last year Sept storm didnt teach anyone a lesson. I wonder when it will..
The week is almost ending… I’ll end it with a photo of Rose…
Please stop raining! Chirp chirp! =(
I have this page on my yahoo but realized that it isn’t that noticeable in some pages, so I thought of changing it and adding it here instead.
I’m very much a tourist myself and find things in Taiwan very interesting. I don’t have a car so my means of getting to places would be through the local transportation, which as a tourist I think would be very helpful.
I hope you enjoy my blog and please do leave comments on how you get to some of the places I have been to.
Enjoy! I’ll be adding it soon…. I will be heading back to Sunmoon again. Can’t wait!

Looks like our plans need to change. Just hope there are some places we can travel and see…. And please please stop raining! Here in Taipei, were getting flooded! =(
Just this week, JLB have made this chikadee I very much like… Well, the ones she made before are all adorable, but I dont know why, I just love this one alot! Her name is Rose. Well, I don’t know if its because I love the mohair that was use or what… but this Rose is just simple hot =p
Here I like to share you the photos, she is up for adoption by the way and I’m hoping I can get her also….
Oh… Have I ever mentioned why im not really into chicks or anything feathery? Well, I’m scared of animal with feathers, I find them very scary and that is the reason I cant handle holding some feathers. It creeps me out! But feather such as peacock, goose, I can handle it..
Last week I went to this art store and they were selling some colorful or black dots feathers, I wanted to buy it, but the thought of having them and touching brrr … sigh….
Last Friday I have added alot of stuff on my etsy site.. Please check it and I hope you guys will love it.
