We have potluck lunch at the end of a year to celebrate our effort and enjoy cross-culture of us. I forgot to bring it in the morning and late on actual lunch since I needed to go back home and to pick up mine.

Berlin Phil visited Los Angeles and I couldn’t miss the rare chance to watch this legendary organization’s performance. My wife and I decided to ask a babysitter to take care of Stella within 5-6 hours since Walt Disney concert hall in LA downtown takes 1+ hours to get by car from Valencia. The traffic was terrible to downtown on 7:30pm of Tuesday but their music rewarded us enough. It was outstanding and valuable experience to listen their music as live. I want to go to their concert with Stella some day. The holiday already began around concert hall and we’ve also enjoyed the mood after concert. Stella was the only victim within this concert since we arrived babysitter’s home later than expected. I’m sorry Stella and you’ll be there with me next time.

When my wife just got pregnant, one of our friend recommended us to hang out regularly after having baby. Lots of couples also complain that it is impossible to yield time to go movie theater. Today we finally decide to go watch movie leaving Stella with baby sitter since Rachel has been tired of taking care of baby as full time mom and we need time to refresh our relationship. 'Couples retreat' was a good pick in terms of that but a lil bit hard for Rachel since its English verbal. It means very talkative movie.

These days, I am working with industrial designer at work. To improve the performance of collaboration, my boss ordered me to stay in his lab and I have moved all possible portable computers to there. Two different tablet PCs are target platforms and the black lenovo is my main machine for developing app. Don't buy lenovo. It keeps crashing, anyway. The worst part of this lab is invisibility from cellphone network. Can you hear me now? No cellphone service is available in this center of the big building.

Today is Rachel's friend's daughter, Ashlyn's first birthday and my family joins the big party in a hotel located at Los Angeles Korea town. Stella's birthday is also coming in few months and we want to see how to do the "party" thing. (It's headache of Rachel, these days) It is Korean tradition to let the baby pick up one of items which represents the future job of the baby. BTW, lots of parents only prepare items related to what they want their kids to do. For example, more and more parents prepare stethoscope with hoping their kid becomes a medical doctor. Ashlyn also picked up stethoscope and her parents were very happy about this. Originally, Korean parents prepare money(wealth), noodle, threads(long life - health), book(knowlege - study), bow(strong - worrier or general), pen(government officer - the only official job in old time), etc. Interestingly, a medical doctor was not a good job at that time but those preferences are changing.
