So...I posted a while ago...quite a while ago...eh hem. I'm failing at this blog posting thing!!! Okay, must get better at this...note to self. Think about it this way: I've been busy doing things and taking pictures so I'll have blog-worthy material! It's all for you.
Let me see...I've gone to Mt. Rainer twice thus far...sooooo beautiful! Once with a bunch of paparazzi and once with family.
Hehe...the 'paparazzi' got their name because it so happens to be that when one goes to Mt. Rainer on a somewhat cloudy, non-conducive-to-photo-shooting day with a group of photography aficionados (who are actually quite good at it 'cept me), one ends up getting tons of pictures taken of oneself and the others in the group. I thought it rather odd that often we were standing next to the most amazing mountain I've ever seen (probably the first I've e
ver seen so up close) yet the people were the ones getting the shots taken. Twas fun though, quite fun...because we were always looking for neat spots to stop at and take pictures. And jes, there were good pictures of the lovely mountain...it did manage to get in there somehow. ;) One also ends up with a good snow fight too...I learned that if you kick snow at just the right angle, it sprinkles all over your desired targets. :D 2 good reasons why this is better than the conventional snowfight: you don't get your hands numb from making snowballs and you don't get sore all over from rock hard snowballs (at least in this case the snow was icy hard!). Despite my limited experience with snow as a Phoenician, I think I can safely say that this was an eureka moment and is something worth keeping in mind the next time you end up in snow. :D

Rainer with family was great fun too...a little more whinny as we had kids with us...hehe, but quite fun. We hiked up the mountain a little and got to the point that we were 
surrounded by snow all around. Again, in my limited experience of snow, I was amazed at how bright it was up there, despite the cloudy sk
ies, and how necessary my sunglasses really were. Another thing I thought amazing was how I ended up taking my layers of jackets and sweaters and walked around in a short sleeve shirt and still further went on to ask my comrades to throw snow at me because I was so hot and sweaty. Sweating when surrounded by snow? Who would've thunk? Very new concept to the Phoencian.

Okie, so other than the fantabulous mountain, last weekend, my baby brother and I went to the movies with some of my coworkers aka the 'paparazzi' and watched Ratatouille. Beware fellow female friends...you could feel miserable about your cooking after watching this. :P Other than that, it was nice. After the movie, we stayed to watch the credits because one of my coworker's friends works with Pixar...and sure enough, his friend's name was there. Very cool! Afterwards we went to Blue Ginger, very yummy Korean food and then went to one of the paparazzi's apartment and played DDR (dance dance revolution). They are soo good at it, it's insane. Maybe someday I will be too... *sigh* Anyway, it was ideal for baby brother and I to practice there with only a few spectators vs. practicing in front of a billion people at places like Peter Piper Pizza. For those of you who remember...sweet memories at Disneyland with mum, Tia Ines, and DDR, no? What made that so great was that they had screens hanging on the ceiling showing the faces of the people who played. Ja, and you wonder why I don't play it so often. :P Left there scarred for life.
Oooo, also, we went to the Space Needle or the "Space Noodle" as my tio and r
ecently dad call it. Lovely to see the whole city and all the surrounding 
mountains. So here are a few pics. Quick tip for those who may go to the noodle sometime soon...don't walk around the whole thing several times consequtively, you may get dizzy.

So we went to the Olympic mountains this weekend and had lots of fun there too...lots to tell and many pics to load...but give me a few days to get that all sorted and it'll be up soon!
Love,
