These are only few pictures among the hundreds that I have. Well, seriously once you are in this place, you can't really help yourself to take them pictures. They are just so precious. And spending a day with them is so memorable to me. I think I'll go back there one of these days. Lol!

Paris, France

When I was in high school, I saw random movies being shoot in Paris. Since then, I've started to like the place and dreaming of going there someday.

So, lately my husband got a holiday from his work and our daughter had 2-week break from school. My husband asked me where I wanted to go here in Europe. I answered, "I guess you already know". Without telling him exactly where I wanted to go, he knew it already. My husband knows every place I want to go to and he knows too that Paris is the first on my list. So we decided to have a short stay in Paris. In less than a week, we had a blast. We've been to the famous star of Paris, the Eiffel Tower. I've been dreaming of touching it. And just the day I saw it, it was a dream come true. I know I may sound shallow but it's just one of the things I really wanted. Rope it, baby!

Yeah, that's my kid watching the tower from the boat when we're cruisin' Seine River. And for her, we also spent a whole day in Disneyland. It was really her day. I didn't see a single second that she wasn't smilling. Oh, only when she was hungry and asking for foods. Lol!

We also went to Notre Dame and Sacre Coeur Cathedral. 

I guess you can figure out how our stay went through. It was really a great one!

And it's all because of my husband. Alex had a whole heart of thanking him for the Disneyland tour which made my husband's heart melt. I told him that he didn't know how he made me feel happy by bringing me to Paris. Oh well, it was the first time. And first times always feel like ohhh yeahhh, right? Lol!

Keukenhof 2013

May 4, 2013

It was a beautiful sunny Saturday when I was at Keukenhof. Keukenhof is located at Lisse, Netherlands. It is the world's largest garden. Full of tulips and different flowers. One of the best places to take pictures. I really had a great time though it was windy.

But the most beautiful idea was I met my good friend there whom I've never seen like ages. It is like almost 9 years that we didn't see each other. The last time was when we were still in college. So, I am seriously glad that we met and had time together again.

I also had a chance to meet her Dutch boyfriend, Jaap. They were such a sweet couple!

Gen is such a good friend of mine since we were in college. We might not see each other everyday but at least we live in one country now and we know that Keukenhof is not the first place we can go together.
