My parents finally came visit me after staying a month with my sister and her baby. I haven't seen my parents since Nov and it's always comforting to have them around. Nonetheless, it's tough not to battle/get annoyed with my parents when we haven't been living together for such a long time. Our living habits and views on things are so different that it's inevitable to have frictions and conflicts between us. Sometimes I get so frustrated that all I know is to cry. On one hand, I am not happy with what my parents do but on the other hand, I am mad at myself for not being more understanding and patient with them. Afterall, no one is perfect and I cannot expect them to be perfect all the time. I feel bad every time after losing my temper with them as I know how much they love me, no matter what. I feel so helpless and all I can do is to pray to God for giving me strengths to improve our relationship.
I love my parents dearly and all I want is for them to be happy, especially when we don't even have that much time to be together. I feel so guilty when I can't always be around them to take care of them. We haven't been living together as a family for over 14 years and it's hard to see them grow old every time I see them after awhile. It hurts me so much whenever I see their hair turn grey and get thinner. I wish I could be there for them whenever they need me. Can someone let me know when will this day come? :(

Stanford mall
Weather was awesome today so DH and I went to hang out at the Stanford mall a little bit. The mall seems to be pretty kid and dog-friendly. We went to Palo Alto Creamery Fountain and Grill to grab a bite. The food is not bad but they weren't very accommodating to switch tables for us when we clearly stated that I am allergic to dogs.

My newest obsession
I have been eyeballing the KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer for such a long time, even though I already have one in navy color. I absolutely love this raspberry color with the glass bowl, but apparently DH is not thrilled with the idea as I don't even use the current one often enough. I guess I might need to get rid of my current one (perhaps give it to my sister) before I can get a new one. :(
Check it out on Williams Sonoma's website if you are interested!
This KA mixer is definitely TDF! :D

Dr's appointments
I have never been to the Dr's office so frequently in such a short period of time. It seems like I am so consumed by scheduling/rescheduling/keeping Dr's appointments at least once a week. But I guess I have to do whatever it takes until everything gets better. At least I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and it's not that far away. I can't wait till I can be myself again and eat all the "forbidden" food I love. :D
Oyster on the brain syndrome
Raw sushiiiiii
A medium rare Lawry's prime rib would be awesome

Update after 8 months
The past 8 months truly flew by in a blink of an eye. I was having a new home, new job, and taking graduate classes full time. As a matter of fact, I am taking 9 credits this semester so I can finish the entire degree by the end of summer. Hopefully everything will go according to plan and I can finish this degree in no time. I am pretty ready to get this degree over with even though I only started working on it last August.
I can't believe that I actually have been so busy with everything that I haven't been keeping myself up-to-date on TPF. I used to lurk on TPF several times a day at work and I haven't even logged in for the past 3 months at least. I guess that might be a good thing as I haven't been splurging on designer handbags/shoes/clothes for awhile.
Finally got to relax a little over the weekend in Tiburon. It's such a nice little town with awesome restaurants.
