Wyatt's Day Out

Brandon and I are probably the only people on earth who walk a cat out. I mean, who does that? Others just let their cats walk out the door, then let them back in later. I kinda explained in one of my previous posts (read here) why Wyatt has to be on a leash whenever he's out.

I'm the one who always insists that Wyatt should be taken out for a walk. It was a very nice day and I felt bad for Wyatt for being inside the house all day everyday. His daily routine is to sit on the windowsill when he wakes up in the morning, nap on the bed at noon, and eat even if he's not hungry. It's been almost a year since the last time he stepped outside the house. So yesterday, I asked Brandon to take him out for a short walk.


fatso!


He had a hard time walking on the rocks.


While Brandon was following the cat, he tripped over the rocks and made a lot of noises. This scared Wyatt that he went so crazy. He was going to run away fast but Brandon was quick enough to stop him. Wyatt tried his best to escape from Brandon that his leash was already coming off, but Brandon managed to keep the cat held tight in his arms. In this picture, Brandon is petting Wyatt to calm him down. As you can see, his leash is off.

Wyatt was only out for less than 10 minutes but we were worried that if he stayed longer, he might try to run off again so we had to take him inside. Thus, his mean face in this picture. :P

back inside the house

Hangin' Out with the Birds

I really love parks. Even though there's not a lot to do at a park, I just love sitting on the grass on a not-too-sunny day, chit-chatting with my husband while munching our burgers, feeling the calming soft blow of the wind, watching cute little children run around and fly their kites, and being amused by the birds fighting over the food when someone feeds 'em. A few hours at the park is like the best way for me to relieve stress.

Sugar House park is one of the nicest parks in SLC. It has a huge pond on the center with lots and lots of birds swimming on it (as you can see in the first photo), which is in a way a bad thing because you can get pooped on by these birds anytime. Aside from the pond and birds, Sugar House park also has a nice view of the big beautiful mountains that surround the city. It is especially nice to hang around here on Spring where the snow on the mountains have barely melted. When the sun shines on the snowed mountains, it makes them look kinda glittery. You can see the white mountains sparkle and it's just breath-taking.


This bird is funny. I have a story of her here. :P



I thought these dogs were going to fight but they didn't. Instead they gave each other kisses. :)

As usual, Brandon wouldn't look at the camera.

And as usual, I'm "pa-kyut" haha.

April Fool's Date

How did you guys get fooled today? Google fooled me as early as a little past 10 am with their "new" logo. It said Topeka instead of Google. I thought they changed it for real until my husband told me that it was an April fool's joke.


Anyway, since Thursday is Brandon's day off aside from Sunday, we went out this afternoon. We went to a Filipino restaurant in downtown Salt Lake called Five Star Restaurant. The place actually serves Chinese and Thai dishes aside from Filipino. Of all the Filipino restaurants in the US that I've been to, the place has the best ambience. It looked really clean and I didn't smell anything unpleasant and the decorations weren't too much. I can't say that their cooking is the best but the food I ordered wasn't bad at all.


Bored waiting for our order

Pork adobo for me and sesame chicken for my American boi :P No matter which restaurant you take him, if he sees sesame chicken on the menu, that's what he'll order.

mmmm...

I didn't expect the server to give us fortune cookies, then I realized that they serve Chinese dishes too. So this is the 2nd "fortune" in my collection (click here to see the 1st one).

Sunny Days and Sundays Always Lift Me Up

I can't believe that it's Sunday again, and it's been a week since I ripped the skirt that I always wear to Church (you can read about it here). I love Sundays. Aside from Thursday, it's Brandon's day off.

We went to a park enjoying the beautiful start of Spring, talked about a lot stuff, watched some kids fly their kites and tiny dogs walking around, and just being sweet to each other. I missed this! I don't remember the last time we went to a park although we always used to. When we go out, it's always at the mall or somewhere else.


Chillin' inside the car on the park parking lot.


He always gives me this face everytime I take a picture of him. I always have to beg him to look cute and not goof for pictures.


We were laying down inside the car for about 15 minutes just talking about anything. Then Brandon became dreamy and started talking about our dreams and plans. :)


Out of the blue, I felt like dancing so I danced. The 2nd picture is my new favorite picture of myself.


I can't decide which one I like better, the one with bright colors or the one with muted colors. Which do you think?


Then Brandon played papparazzi.


Time to change my footwear. Yep, when I'm wearing heels outdoor, I make sure to bring flats too. I just put 'em in my purse so I can change whenever I need to. Excuse my nasty feet. :P


Just like me and B.




First blooming flower I saw after winter. Can't wait to see more.


bugged.
