Psycho and SCUBA?!

Geez...I really don't understand google or this blogspot thing. I look like some kind of crazy person trying to be a stalker all over this place! Explanation being one of the accounts i created by mistake, another account is with my yahoo gmail, another one is a blog i tried to start on this company blogring, and thus the reason you see me like 3 (4?!) different times as a "follower". If you have admin powers Stacie please feel free to delete some of them...(mainly the one that has the long string weird numbers and letters after it)

Anyways, maybe not the best place to ask since I don't know how many of us our loyal readers, but does ANYONE else want to try getting SCUBA certified?!? I'm going to hawaii for a friend's wedding in May 2011, so I was looking to do that. I'll actually be out there around the time of my bday too, so if you're up to celebrating my 30th with me, I would also love to see you! Anyways, hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season and not going postal with gift shopping.

Busy B

Hey all!

Miss you Yun family but lately it seems like with work on Saturdays I always get gyped (sp) on the good stuff! Been trying to keep myself busy lately with a 1/2 marathon and supposed hike up to Yosemite's 1/2 dome (rain cancelled out the hike). I will try to get in on the x-mas plans, but work has me scheduled for now... =( Hope to catch up at some point. Will see some of you guys at Maddy's bday if you guys stay late.

Anyways this is semi random, but aside from Jen and Mike anyone else want to learn how to scuba (jen and mike already have their scuba licenses) ?? Places to recommend in terms of where to learn?

Movin' on down...

I'm not sure if everyone knows but I have left the comfort of home in the Bay Area to move down to LA! It is very different, I can tell you that much. I have gone from a commute of a 20 minute walk through North Beach to an hour drive on 101/405 freeways. I did upgrade on the job and am loving it so far!

I moved in with Pat and we're living north of LA right now. We may find a new place, depending on how things work out commute/living situation-wise. But it's fun, exciting and so far a good decision!!

I do miss the city already...i.e. dim sum. But have no fear family, I will be back soon! Luckily LA is much more accessible than Boston! And if anyone ever wants to take a long weekend/vacation down to LA, I would love to see you!!

Red Egg Time

Just In Time for Summer

http://www.noelanidesigns.com/index.html

Hey this post is probably more for you ladies. Found this hawaiian jewler website off of another friend's facebook page(she's hawaiian too). I'm no girl but it looks nice, fun, young, and stylish (in my opinion). Totally perfect for summer and island vacation style right? Honestly was drawn to it because the owner looks pretty attractive hahaha =P But anyways! Lemme know ladies if ever you pick any up for yourselves. If I still had a girlfriend I would have thought of buying and sharing/showing pics. Feedback? =)

Arizona

University of Arizona


Hey fam! Just came back from AZ after a 3 day 2 night stay. I will try to post pics later, but I would say if you ever go to visit that state and want to visit a big city go to Phoenix. We stayed in Tucson and while it wasn't horrible or anything like that, it was smaller and less impressive. Nice place to golf so long as the temperatures aren't super hot. It took us about 13 hours driving to get back home including pitstops that totaled 1.40 hours.

Playtime

Since everybody seems to have an iPhone or iTouch these days...my words with friends ID is BKY84. Seems like a fun way to play together despite being so far away from each other. Speaking of fun, hope everyone had a safe St Patty's day yesterday (even though I don't celebrate it). =P =)

Also, if you're a Disney fan and want to purchase, "The Princess and the Frog" combo pack, I highly recomend picking it up from amazon.com. You don't have to pay taxes and free shipping!

Wanted to be the first...

To say CONGRATULATIONS to Stacie and Dennis!! And welcome to the world Max! :)

I will be patient for pictures but please post here when you are home and recovered and relaxed!

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Chinese New Year's always brings back memories of Grandma Yun's house on Union Street.  After the endless circles around the block to find a parking space and the hike up and down the rolling hills, you walk into a warm house filled with love.  As I imagine walking into the house, I am welcomed by the smell of frying oil from the pots on the roaring stove top, fresh batches of Grandma's Chinese delicacies (e.g. sticky rice, tay, gok doy, and more) sprawled out on the kitchen counters and table, and Grandma smiling and laughing while watching all her kids and grandkids fill her house.  The day is filled with eating, laughing, and sneaking out into the backyard to climb through Grandma's garden.  Although we've aged and our CNY celebrations have changed quite a bit, these memories of CNY are going to be cherished forever.:)

What are some of your favorite memories of CNY?  Please share!

I hope your weekend is filled with lots of LOVE!  Miss you all!

Blurry

Most of my pics from M&M's wedding turned out kind of blurry. =\ Never the less, I kind of enjoyed this shot for some reason of Dylan and Dennis... Had another one with Grandma Yun, Mike, Michelle, and their immediate fam, but figured we may want to keep our family identity low profile.

Hey, we're almost there to Chinese New Years all! =) (sadly I can't make it out)

BTW - On a random fun note, Giants fan fare day tomorrow 2/6 free admission

Longer Vacations Wanted

So after traveling to Florida a couple of weeks ago I realized it's pretty much impossible to get away from it all unless you take off like 5 days or more. If you ever fly from coast to coast it takes a whole day in itself just to get out there. On that note, new found respect for working people (Dennis comes to mind) and pro athletes who often have to do such things. Having said that, I still would like to travel more and curious if our family is ever going to do another big trip like our Hawaii one? Anyone interested? That was pretty fun minus the food and having to get back to the ship on time deal.

stace, totally dig the baby picture. i put the cursor on it and clicked, woah that size blew up, his head became life size!

something happened to me about a week ago, stranger than fiction. i was laid up in the house about 8 yrs ago, kind of like stace is now (my back). i worked as little as possible for about a year, so i was writing non-stop, and self-published a short story, then forgot all about it.

recently i get an e-mail from a company called 'createspace' telling me i have a new account set up to keep track of my book sales! they bought over this company i had used for publishing. they said my story is available on amazon.com.

but here's the kicker-i check my account. there's been absolutely no activity on it for like 8 years, but now, in December i somehow sold 2 books, and made a whopping 4 bucks! somehow, someone found out about me. i'm gonna have like an underground cult following!

ya, it's not a big deal, you can simply refer to me on this webiste as, "funkyfresh", or as, "the author", ya i'm okay with that, i mean if you want me to acknowledge you...

Jumping on the Bandwagon

Well I guess it wouldn't hurt for me to update the family either. Mostly because I know Stacie needs something to do while she's at home all day...

I'm living it up at 929 Union St still. I have to agree with Stacie, this is a pretty amazing place to live. I walk to work in the Financial District everyday and pass by all the Columbus St bums and characters. I'm taking good care of the place in case any of the little ones want to take over someday! I'm still working as a technical recruiter and trying to help people jobs. Luckily for all, the market is picking up so things are getting better.

For all the inquiring minds (namely Stacie and company) I am still dating my boyfriend Pat who is from LA. He will be introduced to the lion's den (as I call it) sometime soon, I'm sure.

I'll try and update when new or interesting things happen in my life...which I'm hoping means I'll be updating a lot more often!

xoxo

Baby Lee #2

Yay today was my last ultrasound appointment and things are looking good. Three more weeks and I'm in the clear! Woot woot. I would like to say thank you to Darrick and Jen for starting to get on board with blogging. Darrick is right we need to somehow alert family members of what's going on. Hmmm.. Does anyone know how to work blogspot to where alerts go out to followers???

hello from chicago!

My 2010 new year's resolution is to do a better job staying in touch with family and friends! With that said, I am going to try to blog more often. :) So.... What to blog about...

I had a great time back in Cali for the holidays. It went by WAY too fast! I didn't nearly get to spend as much time catching up with family as I wanted to. Now I'm back in Chicago enjoying the snow and cold cold weather. If some of you didn't know, I finished grad school in December!!! :D So now I'm on the job hunt looking for a clinical fellowship so I can get my license. And for all of you that don't remember what I was studying... I got my masters in speech-language pathology (aka speech therapy). I'm looking for something in a medical/clinical/hospital setting hopefully in the Chicagoland area, but have also applied to some positions in the Bay Area. I just applied to CPCM in SF, so wish me luck! I think that's all for now... I'll keep you posted as the job hunt continues!

Miss you all!
Jen

Newsflash

Bad news first since I'm an optimist...The gf and I split on the eve of New Year's eve. =\ Pardon the false alarm with all the excitement and wanting you guys to meet her. At the time she seemed like a good catch. =P I'm ok and it was a friendly breakup with neither of us saying anything we would regret. I know I know, more fish in the sea etc etc. =) So what have I been doing since? (see below (no I don't sing))

stace, bry, how do people blog, i mean really! there's gotta be a better way to know when you all are on besides me randomly checking, especially when this is the only blog i do only because stacie said told me so, so it's hard to remember.

there's gotta be a way to connect this to my hotmail or g-mail or something, 'cause i didn't know if i missed any current stuff.

by the way, don't feel like it's not working stace, here's what's really happenin': nobody's talkin' 'cause their life is really shady and they can't be talkin' about their secrect sh--.

but don't worry, i'd be talkin' to you and bry all the time if i was at home sideways too! ha! just kiddin'.

Happy New Year's

Hi family. I hope everyone is having a wonderful new year! Christmas went by so fast. I hope everyone got what they wanted and more. My new years resolution is to get more people to write on this damn blog other than me and Brian.
