당신은 전국시대 일본 작은마을 에 살았던 무녀였 습니다.

그 당시에, 당신은 일본 작은마을 에서 요괴들을 퇴치했 었습니다.

당신이 인생에서 가장 행복했던 때는, 요괴의 토벌에 성공했을 때 이고,

당신이 인생에서 가장 불행했던 때는, 부모님이 요괴에게 죽었을 때 였으며,

당신의 죽음은, 사랑하던 남자가 요괴에게 영혼을 팔고 당신을 죽이며 이루어졌습니다.

You were a shaman in a small village in Japan during Warring States period.
You used to destroy evil spirit in the village.
Your happiest moment was when you completely wiped out evil ghosts.
Your saddest moment was when your parents were killed by evil ghosts.
Your death took place when your love sold your soul to the spirit and killed you.

Pretty scary! Though it makes me imagine pretty dope ghost story in my head..

What about Kenny’s?
No, he wasn’t that lover who sold my soul.
He was around FAR earlier than me.

Kenny was a hobbit leader. :) hehe.

Going country on Ukulele

Everything sounds so good on ukulele.

Kenny bought a baritone ukulele over the weekend. With my soprano uku, we just had a couple of music session. So fun!

williamsburg.. good furniture shopping spots

Good day today..

I wish I took some photos. But with the weather all strange and ava hanging on my chest, it was a little hard. oh well.

..nice long mellow morning with kids and K..
..williamburg adventure for shopping for the house. went to :

Carl Chaffee (324 Wythe Ave.)
— nice but very very expensive..

A&G Merch (111 N. 6th St)
— lots of affordable new products..

The Future Perfect (115 N. 6th St.)
— some affordable some very very very expensive. carry a lot of innovative stuff.

Modest Designs (326 Wythe Ave.)
— some nice. but VERY expensive.

Cosmo Modern (314 Wythe Ave)
— wasnt’ bad. but as is with the store that carries a lot of mid century stuff, some are steal and some are.. well, let’s say, it was laughable.

Two Jakes (320 Wythe Ave)
— OMG. we bought many chairs today!! I’ve been looking for right priced and good danish lounge chairs. They have a lot in stock! and all these beautiful sarrine chairs at really awesome price. It’s just not the price, but the quality is great as well. The owner is super nice. If you buy a bunch, they totally give you break on price. Can’t beat that. I’ve been looking for “deals” on ebay, but I realize, it’s not really so since you end up paying so much on shipping. Yay. I’m so going back here again!!

After the furniture shopping, we stopped by a music store and bough a baritone ukulele to play along with my soprano ukulele.

Oh, one more.. This is sad one. So as soon as we hit the pavement in the willyburg, Jinu was dozing off. We thought this was perfect since we could get a nice long brunch!! So we found this cute spot called Juliette’s. Happy looking spot, nice customers, nice waitress… EXCEPT for food. :( We ordered Tuna salad and a burger. Oh, how I was looking to get a juicy bite.. Tuna salad was so fishy and so salty.. Burger? I was ABOUT to bite and saw a little thing moving on fries. I don’t know what it was and I’m scared to find out. So fled the spot. *sigh* By the time we found a spot to eat, we weren’t really hungry anymore. Oh well.. it’s ok though. I’ll live.

Great grandparents..

Looking back, the last family trip we had before babies were born were truly amazing. Both Julie and I were carrying yet-to-be-born Miles and Ava. We had time for our immediate famlies by the water as well as spending quality time with Grandma and Dortch. We didn’t realize then, but now I realize that was the last time the entire family spent time together.
In the span of 3 months, both Grandma and Dortch passed away. Both amazing lady and man who lived very full lives, raised amazing families, said good byes in peace..
We miss them..

Jinu’s feeling

scene : I take away my sketchbook when Jinu was about to go crazy and he’s upset that I’m not letting him have it his way.. and he put his head down on the couch.

Kenny : ” Jinu, Are you ok?”

Jinu : “I’m sad.” … “I need to go to hospital”

haha.. My cute funny big baby!

brown drama

Our entrance area is sea of BROWN. As a matter of fact, the previous owner dipped the entire house into brown paint and added a few other colors.

I’ve started painting the entrance area into “Distant White” whilte, the same as in the kitchen.

I’m also adding wallpaper into either one or two walls to make the area bigger. I’ll probably install either floating shelve or small table with a drawer if I can find the right size.

Another thing that I need to think about without crowding the space will be a shoe rack.. We are “shoes-off” house hold. Right now, it’s a little chaotic.. Shame shame.. I’m getting a basket with slippers for guests. (in case, one is wearing a sock with holes. hehe)

Also got this umbrella stand.

Frames

We are still getting furnitures and the most of times, we are having to wait for WEEKS to get it..

I’m waiting to put in all the key furnitures before I start working on the wall. Meanwhile, I got some frames.. I’m very psyched about it. K also got whole bunch of beautiful frames from flea market. These will all go very nicely together..

1. Harry Allen My Brother’s Frame

2. Frames from Burke Decor
