Cross Bites with a Cross-Cultural Couple

August 17, 2011 blog meet-up

My posts have been more culturally-heavy these days, and there’s a reason why. This semester, I’ll be writing a weekly column called “Cross Bites” for my college newspaper, The Daily Trojan. Why “Cross Bites?” Because it’s about cuisines or places that have cross-cultural influences. As a double-major in print journalism and East Asian language and [...]

Thank you Sugar Daddy

July 12, 2011 blog meet-up

[Update: ARRGH!! I'm an IDIOT!!! I only just discovered what "sugar daddy" really meant...I always assumed it meant a rich daddy who pampers his daughter.

Sexiest Dessert to Impress a Girl

October 19, 2010 Los Angeles

I get into arguments with my housemate Kenny all the time. This guy, Kenny…let’s just say, he is very self-confident.. He says it’s because he’s a chemical engineer major—apparently it comes with the territory. One night I came home at almost midnight after watching a movie to review for my school newspaper. The review was [...]

The Lemon Tree Party

October 3, 2010 dinner event

You learn a lot when you’re hosting an event. It often seems like the guests get the better end of the bargain. All they need to do is show up looking presentable, sit, eat, possibly compliment the host, and then leave when the host start giving signals. Meanwhile, the host is spending an enormous amount [...]
