A Fairy Tale Dinner with a Fairy Blogger

November 30, 2011 blog meet-up

I’ve never liked Disney fairy tales very much even as a little girl. (Picture credit by Tumblr) Sleeping Beauty was more like Weeping Idiot to me because all she did was boo-hoo about the stranger who randomly joined her in an awful song and then the moron had to go prick her finger on a [...]

A Super Biased Post by a Brainwashed West Coast Apple-Lover

November 27, 2011 eating out

Just a couple weeks ago, I was a proud and obsessed owner of an iPhone 4G. I even wrote a post dedicating my love to it. Now I’m a disgruntled owner of a “gently used” Droid Incredible that I bought via Craiglist, from a person who upgraded into an iPhone. In other words, I downgraded [...]

The Turkey Always Looks Juicier on the Other Side

November 25, 2011 dinner event

There was an episode on Nip/Tuck (yes I like that show, don’t judge) where a beautiful model struts into a plastic surgery center asking for plastic surgery. (Picture credit from Entertainment Wallpapers) She’s stunning. She’s tall and skinny with curves at the right places. Her hair is shiny and her teeth is brilliant-white. There’s nothing [...]

How a Real Woman Eats

November 22, 2011 eating out

I think I have a cure to L.A. traffic. Four foreign words: 포장마차 pronounced “pojang macha.” Pojang machas are these street stalls set up like big tents that weave the hustle-bustle streets in Korean cities. You can’t miss it, especially when the weather is cold and you get baited into the tent by the puff [...]

A Day Trip at Koreatown

November 21, 2011 eating out

It seems like I’m going to have company every weekend. This weekend, my buddy Joanna drove up from her temporary residence at San Diego to hang out with me again. She slept over Saturday and left Sunday afternoon after church service. Joanna is what we call “chosunjok” in Korean (조선족), or “chaoxianzhu” in Mandarin (朝鲜族). [...]

A Magic Carpet Dinner

November 17, 2011 eating out

A sibling relationship is a bit more complicated than that of a parent-child relationship. For a typical (not messed up) parent-child relationship, it’s a straightforward kind of love. You know your parents will love you no matter what, and in a way it’s a selfish kind of love because you expect them to care and [...]
