The Role of a “Blundering Fool”

December 10, 2011 eating out

This summer, I had the honor of meeting Jonathan Gold in person. Jonathan Gold is one of my favorite writers. I admire him greatly for his magical writing skills, his infectious appetite and curiosity for different cultures and food. He’s kind of a role model for me in terms of the kind of professional writing [...]

A Trip to My Favorite Latino Supermarket

September 11, 2011 Los Angeles

One of the reasons why I love my apartment is the proximity to places that provides the two things I love: books and food. My apartment building is situated right across the public library.

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.

The Lee Family Meets Three Torontonian Ladies

August 11, 2010 blog meet-up

I’ve had many blogger meet-ups before. But I’ve never once had a blogger meet-up with my family. Yesterday afternoon was a first for me, and it wasn’t as awkward as I thought it would be. In fact, it was quite marvelous. You know I love my daddy and mommy. I may be 22 years old, [...]
