First: I must apologize for the absence on here! These past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind. The boyfriend, JTyson, made his biannual treck across the Atlantic to see me for three weeks. It was burning hot (think 106+ degree weather), but we managed to get as much as we could done. Disneyland, LACMA, Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum, good eats, and – of course – shopping. It’s always a bittersweet feeling when he has to leave, but time flies and I know it won’t be long before more adventures ensue! Last Sunday was also the Moon Festival (or Mid-Autumn) holiday in Asia, where families gather to eat mooncakes, drink tea, burn incense, and play games. In my case, I got to have a lovely dinner with my aunt, uncle, and cousins. My dad was also here visiting from Taiwan, so needless to say, I’ve had a very eventful couple of weeks! Regular blogging will be taking place very soon once I get everything settled and sorted. In the meantime, follow me on Instagram @niniloves …
