The Parents Service and Fried Sauce Noodles

October 18, 2011 eating out

I wish my parents will just move to the west coast already. They were only visiting for four days, but I almost got used to coming back home from school and discovering my apartment sparkling clean.

Why Stress Is Just Self-Torture

March 9, 2010 My story

How many hours have you been up today? It’s been a long day for me. I’ve been up since 8 am (I know, it’s really late for some of you grannies, but it’s early for me!), and it’s been layers and layers of stress and worries piling on top of me, hour after hour from [...]
