Daryl's and Joy's Wedding

White Coat Ceremony

Sunny's last Sabbath at Loma Linda before going to Korea...

A couple of Sabbaths ago, Carlos was on call and Sunny was leaving to Korea next morning... so we ddecide to go to the beach with a group of ladies. We went tidepooling to Corona del Mar... We saw beatiful creatures and discover even more about their behavior just by observing them in the water. It was an uplifting experience... The experience that was not uplifting at all that day was the traffic coming back, it wass awful!. So I made my mind, no more Sabbaths at the beach, at least not during rush hour traffic. Praise be the Lord, my Creator, for the works of His hands!

One day in Sea World

Going to Seaworld was a blessing for all of us, not because of the loud music of some shows or the human display, but because of those enormous creatures just dancing in the water. Sunny loved the pinguins interaction. Carlos enjoyed the Dolphins discovery, Gemalli wanted to touch every touchable creature: rays, dolphins, etc... and she was quizzing us about what spiritual applications we drew from these animal behaviors. I was so blessed to sea the Manatees dancing around having only paddlelike front flippers and a horizontally flattened tail to propell themselves!. They are so big and so vegan!! :) We came back home late that day after stopping at P.F Chang's to eat. It was a humblying experience for me recognizing what a Creator God I have!.

Dany&Rosemary Wedding

This was the longest wedding in the history of the world!!! My goodness!!! We started at 2pm and ended at almost 10pm. Wow! Dany and Rose you guys are troopers!. Dany was Carlos' rommate before we got married and we have been going to the same church for years. Their love story is a long one, almost 9 years long, with many ups and downs, but with God in the center finally bringing these two lives together. They are perfect for each other and I pray they allow God to do mighty things between, for and through them. Rin came to the wedding from Colorado, so the weekend was doubly blessed. Carlos was the MC at the reception and he did not know what to deal with the 2 hour-long Mariachis' show... I heard some people say that this was the longest and funniest wedding ever. We pray for you guys...

Endocrinology Meeting in Toronto, Canada.

In the beginnig of June Dr. De Leon, the Principal Investigator in the breast cancer lab I've been working at for a year; Dr. Sharda Vyas, the post-doc at the same lab; Angelique, a PhD, MD student; and I went to Toronto to participate and present part of our research at the ENDO Society Annual Meeting. Toronto is a beatiful city, very clean, and with a fresh and mild climate. Sharda and I presented our poster on Monday and participated in several symposiums and presentations during that day. After the meeting we went to visit downtown and on Tuesday we were at the CN tower, contemplating the city from the world's tallest building (1,815 ft.)
