The Sky's Wine Red

If you don't happen to know, the title of this picture is a paraody (if that's the right word) on a verse of the song Wine Red by The Hush Sound, who I saw in a concert last week. This is just an old photo taken on this year's Chinese New Year.

Everything You Need

Chinese New Year is taken seriously at Hawaii Supermarket. They have two or three aisles filled with food items for Chinese New Year.

Please Just Smile...

My brother does not know how to smile. Whenever my family or I try to take a picture of him, he either makes a weird face or doesn't smile (maybe he wants to hide his braces). He looks really...unattractive (I'm being nice) in this picture but I kind of like how this photo turned out, the background all blurry and the focus is on him. This was taken by me in early January at Mount Baldy while going down the ski lift.

Weird Winter Weather

Yet another blurry photo. I took this while calling a friend so I had a cell phone in one hand and a camera in the other. After a FREEZING night in Hacienda Heights, I looked out my window in the morning and noticed some white substance on the papayas on the papaya tree. I am not sure if it's ice. My brother says it's milk from the papayas. No, I did not touch it.
