what better way to kick start the spring activities than by hiking through camel's back park trails with friends! and boy despite the weather at high 50s, we were really sweatin' it out! it was so refreshing just looking at this pond, so we rested in here a bit before we carried on and hiked the noon away!

mr. weatherman said on his forecast last night that there's a 70% chance of rain today... while driving towards work, it looked like mr. weatherman wasn't lying... i saw the dark clouds trying to totally cover the sun... mr. sun was trying to fight back though... "wtg mr. sun!"

lyka!

(here's lyka posing at the alturas lake during our summer camping in '06)

she's a Toyota Highlander '06, a v6 4w drive suv. we made sure that we'll get a 4w drive for the snow and icy roads during winter (pero madulas pa rin, hmm). she's already over a year old. but we stilll love love her!

one hot day??!!

(taken at mccall frozen lake during the winter festival feb '07)

... yeah right!... it was freakin' freezin' cold that day, but since we were walking under the sun all day, a bottle of 7-up was simply refreshing! ahhhh...

white christmas??!

we were on our way to the winter festival at mccall (feb'06) despite the heavy snowstorm that hit the area that day. you can read all about it here.
