One thing that my family has taught me on how to save money, is to make everything yourself. My parents are known to make their own wine, soy sauce, miso paste, kimchi, and much much more. Not only do you save money, it’s healthier too!!
Here are some photos I documented when I made soy milk a few weeks ago.

The pulp doesn’t go to waste at my house! I use it for making other dishes like Korean pancake. It is a good source of protein and I also use it to replace rice sometimes.

The finished product!
Yes I know this is a beer glass..

Let me know if you want the recipe for this!
They met through her room mate about 6 years ago. She was seeing someone else at the time, and so was he. They remained friends the entire year, and he had to crash on the crappy couch every time he slept over. As fate would have it, they became single and (in Jeff’s words) Jeff decided that he didn’t want to sleep on the crappy couch anymore. He wanted a to sleep on a comfy bed when he sleeps over. Jeff asked Monica out that year.
Monica and Jeff are all that a wedding photographer can ask for. Not only are they gorgeous and not shy in front of my camera, they appreciate the hard work that we do.
Oh and did I mention gorgeous?












All wedding photographers know, we are not JUST A PHOTOGRAPHER on the wedding day.
We have to be part make up and hair stylist…..
We put ourselves in danger just to get “the” shot…

We brave the hot summer sweaty days…

And we have to blend in with the environment so that we don’t draw attention to ourselves….

It’s been a few months since we had our Shabu Shabu (where I used to work as a waitress) gathering. Knowing that it was going to be at I-Ching and Mark’s house, I knew I had to bring my camera and be ready for baby Jacob.
We timed our arrival perfectly just as Jacob was waking up from his afternoon nap and was full of energy.
Please people, I dare you to tell me that Jacob is not the cutest baby ever!





A few weekends ago, the guys went to Vegas for Ron’s Bachelor party. Us girls, being stuck in cold wet Toronto, decided to have a girls night in that weekend.
The girls all came over to my place, changed into their PJs, and settled in to a night of chick flicks, wine, snacks and girl talks.
We should definitely do this more often! Miss Congeniality 2 anyone? hehe
A few photos I took before the girls arrived.

Strawberry J-E-L-L-O with fresh strawberries.

Home made guacamole.

She dressed up, brought dinner into her room, sat in front of her computer, and waited. At the same time, 3 time zones away, Jon did the exact same thing. It was Valentines Day… Winnie was in Toronto, while Jon was in Vancouver… They smiled at each other, and had a nice date over webcam.
It was the first year of their 4 year long distance relationship.
Throughout their long distance relationship, they have been looking for work opportunities in each other’s cities. When Jon moved back to Toronto after finding a job here, they can finally start planning their wedding. Winnie and Jon are getting married later on this year, and they have everything they can wish for. They have each other.
(and me, of course :p)
Enjoy these photos guys, I can’t wait till your wedding in August!!!
