A Little Tokyo Day Trip

November 14, 2011 eating out

It’s a silly running joke between my internship director and me that I’m obsessed with Little Tokyo. I’m really not. I do love Little Tokyo, but I somehow hang out a lot there just because all the new hip restaurants somehow seem to cluster around that little neighborhood north of downtown Los Angeles. Also, it’s [...]

Wine & The City, Video Wrap-Up

October 28, 2011 eating out

It’s my birthday today! I can do whatever I want! So I’m forcing you to watch this silly video that wraps up the Santa Barbara trip: After wine and fun, we were definitely well-fed and well-buzzed, but the time clicked “dinner” so we drove back down to downtown Santa Barbara for our last supper. Tracy [...]

October 16, 2011 dinner event

It’s amusing how much you take after a parent, from the shape of your eyes, the width of your nose, to your personality and interests. As much as I would love to have inherited my mom’s sweet gentleness, I mostly take after my dad. I have his temper. I have his stubbornness. I have his [...]

And not just any missionaries, but missionaries to the Chinese people. However, because they are around Chinese people 24/7, my parents never get the chance [...]

Huff and Puff Fish

October 5, 2011 blog meet-up

There is an episode on “Mad Men” when the news of Marilyn Monroe’s death stunned the world. I could understand why it would make the front page news, and why all the publications would want to sensationalize it. What I couldn’t understand was the level of trauma ordinary people experienced from the incident. On that [...]
