Just Give Up!

March 23, 2011 eating out

I hate giving up. I really do. It’s a mantra programmed into my mind from young. As a pre-schooler, you read books about the tortoise that never gave up racing the hare, or the princess that never gave up wishing for her handsome prince, and so on and so forth. “Never give up!” “Just [...]

Confessions of a McFoodie

February 3, 2011 My story

If I haven’t been around the blog world much, it’s just because I am drowning in work. I will groan and moan about my back-breaking schoolwork some other time (ah, you just can’t wait, can you!), but today, I just want to make a few confessions. I think I’m a foodie. And a lot of [...]

Mr. Bread and Me

November 30, 2010 My story

Thank You Letter to God

November 26, 2010 dinner event

Dear God, I tried. I really tried to think about all the things for which I need to thank you. I tried to list them down. I tried to organize them into neat categories, so that I knew I’d have three main thanksgivings to share during tonight’s Thanksgiving dinner. I tried. And I failed. Because [...]

Foodbuzz Festival 2010: It Is Done

November 11, 2010 blog meet-up

It is done. I finally just finished my 10-page research paper on the Santa Clara River Watershed. Including plotting my own graphs, googling the best maps and downloading the stream flow data. Fun, jazz, whoopee! Not. To be honest, I hated every minute of it. Well, except for one part: the part when I wrote [...]
