What is Baco?

January 25, 2012 blog meet-up

Language is a such a wonderful, ever-evolving thing. If I were a bit smarter and academic, I would have loved to study linguistics in college. It’s fascinating to see how language reflects the culture and events of a time, place and people. It’s always shifting and advancing to both more complex and simpler structures, with [...]

What’s So Funny?

August 4, 2011 eating out

How to Yaki Some Kimchi

October 9, 2010 My story

There are times when I get so busy with my own life, I forget about God. But somehow, someway, He always finds opportunities to poke me gently, reminding me of His presence—in all kinds of ways.
