Tibetan Momo

September 25, 2010 family

Edited to Add: Voting has begun today, Monday September 27th! Please vote for my plump momos here!!! ****** Sometimes, I wonder if I’m a zealot for punishment. There is a statement that my parents always sigh in exasperation at me: “Why oh why do you always have to make things hard for yourself?” they would groan, [...]

My Prince Charming

May 6, 2010 God

Guys, I’m in love.  I now know why I am full of that “I don’t need a man to make me happy” bull. I now know why I don’t want to settle down with a nice Korean man and have three Korean speaking kids in a safe suburban area. You see, I was born in [...]

I Am What I Cook

February 5, 2010 My story

My Korean name is “So Hyun”. And my Chinese name is “Su Xian.” You know my English name: Sophia. Guess what? All of them mean similar things. The “So” and “Su” in my Korean and Chinese name means “intrinsically” or “naturally”. And the “Hyun” and “Xian” has many definitions, but one of them is “wisdom”. [...]
