Story #306: Music August 29, 2010
Kate Vogele is someone I'll be listening to for a long time. Her music rocks! I love love love her style, lyrics, and of course, music. I discovered her unintentionally after listening to S.H.E's 爱就爱了(S.H.E is a popular girl group in Taiwan by the way). I realized S.H.E were doing the cover for Kate's song, "Angel" so I had a listen […]

Story #304:I am back! August 20, 2010
Hi peeps! How's your week? Mine was so much fun, so much driving, so much instant food, so much nature, and so much sight-seeing. I've taken about 1000 pics in about a week. I would've taken more if I weren't in the car so much. Oh ya, our road trip took us to Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, Calgary, Banff, and Yoho Natio […]

Story #303: Southern Utah weekend August 11, 2010
Last weekend, I skipped class (the class talks about nothing important anyways), and drove the 3 hour back to our beloved Toquerville and St.George. St.George was okay, Toquerville was fantabulous! I got to see my buddies, Max and Nikki. Max still smells as bad and Nikki seemed to be so quiet. I'm sure Max still remembers me even after the 2 month absen […]

Wedding Looming…

By Leighton | February 14, 2009

Okay, I know that sounds a bit foreboding, but it’s the word that came to mind. I usually don’t think about the title of a post until I click in the box to type and then usually just type the first thing that comes to my head. I make it a goal to write every Sunday, so whether I have something incredible or not, I know there will BE a post, I just don’t always know what it will be ABOUT. Anyways, this week flew by as well, just like last week. I took extra care to keep track of the days but I was still surprised at how fast it went. My visa here in Malaysia expires on the 16th, so I had to go to Brunei yesterday and get it renewed. I can now legally stay in Malaysia for another 90 days (yay!). I could probably stay here indefinitely, since the Brunei/Malaysia border is only 30 minutes away and I get 90 days every time I cross over. So I would have to make a thirty minute drive 4 times a year to stay in Malaysia for a year. Nice…

Well, we are also involved in getting Sharon’s K-1 Fiancee Visa. We have everything now and are just waiting for the Embassy to contact us for an interview date so we can go to KL. We are anxious to hear when the interview is so we can get a better idea of when our wedding will be. Right now we are looking around Mid-April, in fact I made a mock-up of a wedding invitation for Sharon’s sister to use when she goes to get her Visa. The date (April 15th) is more of a goal and not set in stone, but for anyone out there reading this, check your calendars and see if you can make it or not. I won’t post the picture since it may cause misunderstanding (DISCLAIMER: We will not be held responsible for incorrectly scheduled airfare hah).

Anyways, Sharon has been really and I mean REALLY busy planning out the reception. It is hard since we are here and aren’t sure exactly how the place will look or what the weather will be like, but she has made extensive plans and it is pretty impressive. We are shooting for an outdoor reception, but I guess that’s all I should say for now. Suffice it to say that the theme will be ******. (censored)

In other news… well I guess there isn’t any other news… I promised to have my portfolio done but well it hasn’t happened yet, although I did make the site for it, just need to add things to it now.

PS We’ve been watching Heroes Season 1, and it is really cool. We keep having the ‘watch one more’ reaction after the episode is done, so we’ve watched I think 16 episodes this week alone. Crazy. This leads us to the question: If you could have a super power, what would it be? I think I would probably choose the power of Telekinesys (SP?). The other powers are really cool but I’ve always been a Star Wars fan and want something like the force haha. Plus I think you could use it to fly if you mastered it. Okay that sounded really geeky, but well, it is what it is. Haha. Another power I would like but they didn’t mention is the ability to save and load times, kind of like a video game. You can save at a save point, then go back if you screw up. Think how cool that would be, to save just before you ask some really cute girl to go on a date with you, then if she says no, just load it! Or save before doing something crazy like jumping off a building. So many different applications for a power like that. Reminds me of Groundhog Day but only able to be controlled.

Okay, one more thing I just remembered. Yesterday was Valentines day and I got to go out and eat with Sharon to Soho’s. It was nice and we got a delicious meal. Sharon got me a nice shirt for Valentines day, and I got her some lip gloss from Paris, some Lancome thing that she really likes. It looks good on her. I can’t wait til we get married!

Oh and one more thing. My brother gets home THIS WEEK! Crazy how fast time flies by. I wish I could be there. I love you Tyler.

Oh yeah, and some more random pics for this week:
