Ole Mole!

November 2, 2011 blog meet-up

The first Mexican literature I’ve ever read is “Like Water for Chocolate” by Laura Esquivel. (Picture credit) I loved this novel. I had just moved to the United States from Singapore, and it was the first time I got introduced to Mexican food. It’s kind of a running theme for me to be introduced to [...]

May 3, 2011 My story

I think this has been one of my favorite semesters in college yet. Actually, it’s been my favorite school semester, period.

I’m So Hot

November 27, 2010 product review

I wish you all understood Korean. Because I really, really want you to sing along with me to this: It’s hilarious! It cracks me up every single time I listen to it. It’s funny because these five girls are rocking and bopping to the most ridiculous dance, saying the most ridiculous things: “Everybody is watching [...]

Dude, It’s Pal Cabron

November 22, 2010 eating disorders

I am glad to receive many positive responses to my plan to start a Weekend ED Series. I do want to make something clear though. On my last post, I wrote that I “cannot stand eating a salad or cottage cheese as a meal, or subbing real flour and butter for weird carb-free/ sugar-free/ fat-free/ [...]
