やはり寒い時はもってこいの一品です。

비가..

비가 온다.
주룩주룩.
며칠째..

다 씻겨나갔으면 한다.
나의 모든 상처들이...

그때

미치도록 뭔가가 하고싶어서
아무것도 모른채 사진기 하나를 들고...
맨발로 그 뜨거운 모래밭을 걸어다녔는데...

어느 한 여름날.

지금 나는 뭐에 미쳐있는걸까...

Black Swan

Gotta go watch it.

*Only in selected theater.

남들이 알아주지 않더라도
맡은 일을 열심히 하다 보면

향기는 절로 퍼져 나가게 되어 있어요.
그래서 찾아다닐 필요가 없어요. 있는 자리에서
최선을 다하되 바라는 것 없이 그 일을 하고
가는 것이지요. 그 길밖에 없어요.

World's ugliest home

"Rising dramatically, 300 metres above sea level, and built at a staggering cost of over a billion dollars, Antilia (the name is likely to be changed to ‘Anandam’) can be described as the Taj Mahal of the 21st century. Cantilevered and colossal, it easily dominates the skyline of the city. From the exquisite Krishna temple on the ground floor to Mukesh’s personal library on the top floor, it is a staggering feat."

—Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani threw himself a small housewarming party on Friday to celebrate the opening of his new 27-story home in Mumbai, estimated to be the most expensive residence on the planet.

"The house would require 600 members of staff to maintain it."

Besides the temple and the library, the 400,000-square-foot building boasts a 50-seat cinema, multiple swimming pools, sprawling gardens, a ballroom, a helipad, a staff of 600, and, so far, a $200,000 monthly electric bill—the equivalent of 7,000 average Mumbai homes.

Black Swan

From Matilda to Nina.

그러고 보니 차분함과 열정이라는 단어가 어색했다.

참으로 놀랍다.
뭐라고 설명할수 없는 그런 아름다움.
다시한번 느낀다, 창조주의 손길을.

이런 아름다움을 보면서도 그냥 지나치지는 않는지.
혹은 그냥 우연 속에 우리는 만들어졌다고 생각하고 있지는 않는지.

끊임없는 역경과 고난속의 하루하루 이긴 하지만,
그런 괴로움또한 나를 또 더 높은곳으로 이끌고 있음에 분명하다.

It amazes me how she brings life into those terrariums.

And below are her funky silicon planters.

Do you feel it?

Santa Barbara

So, it was our first trip (?) ever since we got married. Except when we went to Japan on the way back from Korea. After lots of debates, we decided to go to Santa Barbara because it was only 2 hours of drive and I have never been there.

Yes, it was my first time to Santa Barbara.



Our first stop was a winery, called Carr located down town Santa Barbara.
Well, there were lots young people. And it was smaller than I expected.
I am not a big fan of red wine but I remember this winery carried more reds than whites.

Their pinot noir was quiet good, I remember.

Oh by the way, the tasting room is in their warehouse, and it's attractive and relaxed with a sit down bar.


Our next stop was Santa Barbara Shellfish Company.

Lots of people were waiting outside, it was breezy, sunny and relaxing.



Calamari. mmMmm.


Oysters. Yum!!!


And crab legs. Love love.

The service was attentive and friendly and the prices were affordable. This is definitely going to be the place to go whenever we are visiting Santa Barbara next time.

And then ice cream.



Walking around the pier... Time goes so slow.




Al fresco sushi dining on a lovely summer evening--Arigato! (That's literally the name of the restaurant!)

Baby Baby

One of my favorite baby stores is Janie and Jack.

My friend in Korea is expecting a baby boy.
So, as a gift, I have purchased little something for her baby.

How cute!!! Right? I know.
So I ask myself if I want one.
Well, I am not sure. I just got used to be called an aunt. :P
