A TRIP DOWN HALLOWEEN LANE
Besides the fact that my mom's birthday falls on Halloween, I've always loved dressing up and going out with friends! I never really dressed up for Halloween before, only when I moved to Seattle did I realize how fun it can be to dress up as your favorite cartoon character, celebrity, princess, super hero, or [...]
DIY: PAPER DOLL COSTUME
I thought Halloween was going to be quiet this year, but I got invited to a Halloween party suuuper last min. With no costume on hand plus not wanting to spend a fortune on one either, I quickly got a hold of my artistic friend Andrew! I saw this Paper Doll costume when I was [...]
GAMES, PUMPKINS, & APPLES…OH MY!
Here's a quick recap of my fun filled October festivities!!! 10/05: The Richmond Night Market This is my second time visiting the night market, I came sometime last month. So obviously it was that good to come back again. The rotato and the squid was def. my favorite! 10/10: Seattle Sounders vs. Vancouver White Caps [...]
WHY BRUNCH IS THE ABSOLUTE GREATEST THING EVER
I wake up Sunday mornings with this surge of happiness just because it's Sunday and there's no better way to start your Sunday than with a nice scrumptious BRUNCH! And those who know me best, know I love, love eggs – I’m pretty sure I can eat eggs all day every day. Scrambled, sunny side [...]
THE 100th POST

Time surely passes you by when you are busy recovering, catching up with friends, getting back into the swing of things, and just enjoying life!!! My first scan has been schedule [...]

PILL-BOX
This recovery was a bit of a challenge. First challenging thing was to get off those damn pain meds!! I learned the hard way- pain meds lead to nausea meds which lead to constipation meds. During the first two weeks of recovery I was taking 2 oxycodones every three hours. I wasn’t always in pain, [...]
THE NEW MISS HARPER
Before getting discharged from the hospital, I was again assigned my “handicams” pass but just for a few months! It didn't take long to realize I was in dire need of a wheelchair since walking was a challenge not to mention I move and function like a turtle. So I decided to visit the nearest [...]
MY TWO FAVS
My sis leaves today to head back to her family in New Mexico. I’m so grateful that I was able to have a personal nurse, chauffeur, cook, and maid by side during this whole recovery period. I also had my 3-week post-surgery appointment with Dr. Pillarisetty and so far everything checks out good!!!
THE DAYS AFTER SURGERY
It's been two weeks since the operation and a lot has happened since my return home. My apologizes for not writing sooner, but my meds have really gotten the best of me these days. So lets go back to the beginning. August 4: Surgery Day My surgery was set for 8:30 am with a check-in [...]
3rd TIMES A CHARM…RIGHT?!?::
Last week Friday I went in for an MRI and CT scan. The scans revealed that the radiation therapy has been very effective in killing off the cancer cells. But now comes the part I've been dreading. I really wasn't expecting to go in for surgery for another three weeks since that's what I was [...]
