Domain Expired :(

The domain name juliehsu.com that Q registered for me was expired without any notice. Instead of paying the regular $11.99 per year to renew it, the domain registrar charges $97.99 if I want to get the same domain name back. Another way is to wait for 70 days until the domain name goes back to the market first and then buy it back. This really sucks! So, I'm back on blogger now.

This weekend, we went to Kerrisdale- a neighborhood where I grew up and lived there for 15 years. The MacDonald's was where I got my first part time job in Gr.11. Hills was my favourite shopping spot and Starbucks was a convenient spot for meeting up and hanging out with friends. Further down the street was a Vancity branch where I worked there for a year. It brings back great memories.

We had a cup of Cappuchino at Caffè Artigiano:


The wall of coffee bean bags gave a good reflection of light and created a nice bokeh background:

民視娘家

昨天看奇摩新聞時注意到一個最近爆紅的女星叫廖家儀，說她是娘家四朵花之一，好奇從Youtube從找出來看，看了第一集就讓我哭得唏哩嘩啦的。也許是自己也剛結婚沒多久的關係，感觸特別深。其中新娘爸爸對她的叮嚀，令人超感動的。他說：「做媳婦沒什麼要領,如公婆在忙要學聰明點,別關在房間裡,如果妯娌在做事,妳要勤快點幫忙」，「夫家是做武市生意,有時說話大聲了點,妳嫁過去,耳根子要重一點」，印象最深刻的就是：「婚前的幸福是父母給的，婚後的幸福是要靠自己」。做父母的對女兒總是有那麼多的不捨和牽掛，我大概從爸爸煮絲瓜粥開始哭一直到新娘嫁過去和夫家的父母奉茶，才停下來。

Q先生在一旁傻眼完全不知道我怎麼能看個Youtube個可以哭成這樣。沒看過的人真的可以去看看。

A Dog's Life

Since Mom is now in Taiwan, Yuan is staying with us now. He has been a very good boy, or a good old man. I feel bad for leaving him at home all day when we are at work. He snoozes all day until we get home. And, we are also not very active at night, he usually just wanders around while we are watching TV or playing wow. So, I bought him a new bed, new toy and new treats. At the cashier lineup, the lady in front of me asked if I was spoiling a new puppy. I said no, an old dog, but spoiled. :)

Hopefully, the weather will be dry this weekend so we can take him out for a walk and shoot some more photos.

My MAC is broken!!

I was planning to enjoy some wow time tonight, but didn’t get very far at all. I logged in the game and decided to fly to a different town to do more questing. And, in the middle of the flight path, the whole game shut down!!! I first thought it was a game bug, possibly introduced by the patch released recently. But, when I tried to restart the game, my mac started making some funky noise. I then shut down the mac by pressing the power button for 10 seconds until it made a beeping sound. It took forever to load the OS and still made crazy noise. Q thinks the hard drive is pooched. :(
