You’ll find me in the kitchen at parties

September 5, 2011 My story

Do you like parties? I’m not talking about the kind of parties where you slip on a little black dress for nightclubs, take shots off a girl’s belly and swing under a disco ball (do those things still exist?).  I’m talking about big, celebratory events like birthday parties, graduation parties, baby showers, bridal showers, etc. [...]

A camping trip with rice-cookers and no s’mores

August 11, 2011 My story

While I was interviewing the awesome kids for the L.A. Times Summer Camp Campaign articles (check them out and please donate if you can…and yes I’m pimping!), I realized that I was hearing all these wonderful stories on how summer camp helped them, but I myself have never experienced a real camping trip before. Oh, [...]

Supermarket Identity

April 20, 2011 God

I think there are so many interesting ways to identify a person. It can be their gender, their race, their culture, their socioeconomic status.

February 25, 2011 My story

Confessions of a McFoodie

February 3, 2011 My story

If I haven’t been around the blog world much, it’s just because I am drowning in work. I will groan and moan about my back-breaking schoolwork some other time (ah, you just can’t wait, can you!), but today, I just want to make a few confessions. I think I’m a foodie. And a lot of [...]

Smiling in the Rain

December 17, 2010 Los Angeles

It’s cold, dreary, and rainy today. I have not seen or felt a single speck of sunlight. I trudged downtown for an interview early this morning, huddling under my tiny crappy umbrella, which flipped backwards several times because of the gusty wind. I walk briskly by fellow Angelenos, and nobody greets each other, or even [...]
