His.Story.

October 4, 2011 eating out

History. It’s a strange, wonderful thing. I like to think of it as a combination of the two words “his” and “story.” We have a story. The person next to us has a story. The person 5,000 miles from us has a story. That tree behind your yard has a story. The place, the city, [...]

Mission Impossible: $300, five stomachs, one P.F. Chang’s

September 2, 2011 dinner event

I remember when I first visited a Chinese restaurant in America. It was in New Jersey, and I was 12. At the time, I hadn’t emigrated to America yet; I was merely accompanying my parents to their mission trip in America, and I was in New Jersey visiting my then pen pal, Joanna. Joanna’s mother [...]

Yujean Kang’s: A 10-course, 5-hour gastronomical extravaganza

August 13, 2011 blog meet-up

I called my mother almost every night this week, half-singing with glee. “Guess what I did today!” I would yelp happily. I think I really need to be in a Glee Club, because these days there are so many instances when I just want to break out into a song and start dancing. And most [...]

I’m a legit Lady now!

August 9, 2011 Los Angeles

I went to the hair salon yesterday. And I felt like a barbarian entering a cosmopolitan, civilized world. Okay, visiting a hair salon probably is a regular thing for some of you, but it was the first time I visited a professional hair salon by myself without my mom or aunt to decide everything for [...]

Our Last Burp and Slurp

July 28, 2011 eating out

Contrarily to what you may think from my recent posts, I’m not only just eating pat bing soo and drinking cappuccinos. Unfortunately, I only get to enjoy them just maybe once or twice a week; Korean coffee shops are expensive! On our last night together, Jane and I wanted to eat something extra delicious and [...]

Three Hoorays

May 11, 2011 My story

I have three things to rejoice over today. First, I turned in my last final paper today. That means I’m done. Finito. Free as a songbird for this semester. Second, I paid the security deposit for my new apartment today. That’s right, biatchas, I finally found myself a place to sleep during the summer! I’ve [...]
