http://www.yingyunwang.com Sun, 19 Apr 2009 06:31:32 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en J gave me a really pretty "Y" necklace a while ago for my birthday. I wear it often. On Friday, when I got into the office and sat down, the chain slid down onto the floor, but the letter "Y" wasn't on the chain. I of course freaked out. I ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=247 Need some cash? Just bring your pet rat, cat and dog and have them sit on top of one another. http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=237 J and I went to the Golden Gate Park today. I was hoping to get in the newly opened California Academy of Sciences. The free admission tickets were sold out after an hour of opening. I had no idea it was going to be that crazy. I think besides Bay ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=228 No, contrary to what you might think, I did not go out and wait in line for the new iPhone 3G. The monthly fee for data network and text message would just be too much an increase and I don't feel like paying for that yet. The only thing ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=224 Compliment of J, as a late Valentine's day gift, I enjoyed a nice evening of facial and other relaxing spa activities at Burke Williams in Santana Row. I was very impressed with the spa itself, and the service was great. When you first walk into the spa, you see a reception ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=207 J and I took a road trip this past Christmas/New Year. I only got around to blog about it now. I know, I've been lazy. But here is a list of the posts to come. I'll update the links as I write the entries. Stay tuned! Day 1: Hearst Castle Day 2: ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=206 Today we needed to get to Universal Studio in Universal City from Santa Barbara. We left Santa Barbara after a quick breakfast, and got onto Highway 1. Like I said before, Highway 1 follows the Pacific Ocean most of the time and it's a very pretty drive. Since we didn't ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=223 (Note: I'm blogging this trip four months after it actually happened. So I apologize if it sounds kind of plain and simple, I just can't remember too many of the details but I still want to write down what I can remember.) We got to Santa Barbara on Christmas Eve, there ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=218 We left San Simeons this morning and headed toward the Paso Robles Wine Country. We have looked up the opening times of the wineries. Unfortunately, since it's the day before Christmas, a lot of them aren't open and most of them close before 2pm. We got to go to ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=212 We embarked on our 10-day road trip today. This road trip started with me saying, "wouldn't it be great to spend New Year's Eve in Disneyland?". We booked our hotel for Disneyland stay about a month ago, and then it was figuring out wether we'd want to just go ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=199 So I'm sure everyone knows by now that Gmail came out with IMAP service a couple of days ago. In case you don't know, the advantage of IMAP is having the access to your email from any machine all synchronized automatically. I'm been a faithful Gmail user for more than ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=192 Going to watch musicals is expensive. Not only do you have to pay for the music show itself, you'll also have to buy the CD afterwards. Or at least that's how I'm finding things. This month I've been to three different musicals, Avenue Q, Sweeney Todd, and Jersey Boys. First ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=191 Who knew that it could rain in San Francisco in the middle of summer? Just a couple of days ago I was telling my visiting uncle and aunt from China that summer was the dry season for Northern California, and that was why all the hills were yellow. When I ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=190 So I've been trying to keep up my walking routine so I can kick J's ass. I'm doing pretty well right now, about 5 miles ahead of him as I write this. I walked today to the Presidio and back today. On the way, I was some gorgeous mansions, one ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=189 Both J and I feel that we are overweight and definitely not getting enough exercise. To motivate ourselves, we each got a Nike Plus for our iPod Nanos, and started a walk challenge for the next month to see who can walk the most distance by end of the month. ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=186 Yup, that's right, I got an iPhone! If you don't know what iPhone is, then perhaps you haven't been paying much attention to the world around you. It's been out for a week, and it's proving to be huge. Thanks to my very, very generous boyfriend, who promised he'd get ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=185 I moved into my new apartment in San Francisco on Saturday. It turned into a long, long day for us. The day started with J and I getting up around 7 so we could go pick up the Uhaul truck at 8. We got back to my place quickly and ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=184 As part of my birthday celebration this weekend, some friends joined J and me for Bay To Breakers, a true San Franciscan tradition. It's a 12km (7.46miles) footrace that has been going on in San Francisco for the past 96 years, first started to lift the city's spirit after the ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=183 I turned 30 this past Friday. Surprisingly, I don't really feel any different than before. Somehow the birthday didn't seem as life-changing as it should be, or as I thought it should be. It did provide the perfect opportunity for partying, and hanging out with friends. I started the celebration ... http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=173 I've finally decided to separate the food stuff from my normal everyday stuff. So now I have a website: www.iamanotafoodie.com. I hope you'll keep visit this blog to see what my random days look like, and visit my food blog to keep up with all the yummy food. http://www.yingyunwang.com/?p=172
