You Raise Me Up

December 16, 2011 family

Confession time. The day of my last final, I cried. I’m not sure what got over me, but I just suddenly felt a brick of emotions slamming into the pit of my stomach and shattering all inside me. Perhaps I had been suppressing some negative emotions for some time, feelings that I was too busy [...]

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). [...]

I tried to organize them into neat categories, so that I knew I’d have three main thanksgivings to share during tonight’s Thanksgiving dinner. I tried. And I failed. Because [...]

Foodbuzz Festival 2010: The Beginning to an End

November 13, 2010 blog meet-up

My brother got into a car accident yesterday. He is fine. The car, a brilliant second-hand Audi A4, is not. In fact, apparently it’s been damaged beyond repair. When I heard about this incident, I immediately felt incredibly sad for my brother. I knew how much he adored that car. He spent months researching on [...]

You Woo Me

November 5, 2010 God

I’ll tell you a secret: I hate flowers. And it’s not because I’m bitter that no guy have ever bought me flowers, I swear. But flowers. They’re just so…annoyingly…bright and pretty. They bloom vibrant colors right in your face, screeching, “Cheer up! Cheer up! Cheer up! Be Happy! Be Happy!” Sometimes, when I see a [...]

What’s Your Story? (Artisanal LA: Part I)

October 25, 2010 eating out

My favorite thing to write about isn’t food. Yes, food is great. I like making people drool. I like making people envision the sensual pleasure behind each graphic detail. But. There is only so much satisfaction gained from making people hungry. No, my favorite thing to write about is people. I love reading a good [...]
