montage anyone?

well first let's get the food out of the way.

this week was an epic epic week. i acquired...a crockpot. amazing. well amazing for the one thing i know how to make in a crockpot, pulled pork. so last friday we feasted on a tasty pulled pork sammy with some homemade coleslaw.

this past weekend has been bittersweet. it was the last weekend two of my besties were in shanghai - sophia and fanny. they've been great friends to me here in the shang and we had a great time together the past few months. so this post is dedicated to them! at their separate but equal going away parties, we took to the camera, and had a little photo opp. everyone knows i enjoy the camera so i was prepared to make a fool.

fanny and i were pretty tame...minus the 4 other photos that either a. were inappropriate to post or b. she who shall be unnamed coughbernicecough deleted them for unknown reasons.

typically i like to play the 'adjective' game but most people don't respond to that. so now most typical tactic is 'smile', 'pout', 'pretend like something hilarious just happened'

but with hao, things aren't so simple...

here we got all dolled up for a cocktail/dinner progressive. the iphone self camera comes in handy here when one needs to photo themself eating, shopping, reading and/or sleeping and then naturally post on weibo. but we were able to snag these schnazzy ones exclusively for this post! ha.

in 1 week, we're off to laos and then hawaii and ny. so lucky. next post shall feature my new wares from recent trips to qipu lu, fabric market and taobao market. fall is in the air!!!
