A Fairy Tale Dinner with a Fairy Blogger

November 30, 2011 blog meet-up

I’ve never liked Disney fairy tales very much even as a little girl. (Picture credit by Tumblr) Sleeping Beauty was more like Weeping Idiot to me because all she did was boo-hoo about the stranger who randomly joined her in an awful song and then the moron had to go prick her finger on a [...]

Queen of Kabocha Land

November 3, 2010 eating out

I suppose everyone has had dreams after which they question their sanity. I, not too long ago, dreamed that I was Queen of Kabocha Land.  Quit snickering, and let me continue on with my story.

Plastic Beauty on the Wall…Who Is the Fakest of Them All?

June 27, 2010 eating out

When you walk down the streets of Korea, you’re not just going to the grocery store, or to the bank. You’re making a fashion statement. Or more precisely, you’re joining the fashion statement of the season. My mother confiscated my flip-flops. Apparently it’s a social disgrace to walk around in “2 for $5” Old Navy [...]

Blown Away. But Still Here.

May 12, 2010 Uncategorized

I am. Blown. Away. By all your sincere and empathetic responses to my last post. To be honest, my finger quivered a bit before I hit the “publish” button. I don’t know what I was nervous about: Exposing an image of myself when I was soulless? Sounding too evangelical? Being potentially triggering? But now, I’m [...]

The Difference Between Obsession and Passion

March 22, 2010 eating disorders

Did you know I used to dream of being an artist? Of course, I also wanted to be a lawyer, a Special Education teacher, a president, a chef, and a number of other things, but I was actually quite serious about art. In fact, I had a genuine passion in art, and I don’t mean [...]
