Jane Eats Real Food

July 19, 2011 eating out

I haven’t done Jane enough justice. I have yet to introduce her as the true friend she is. Now that she’s gone (she just left today afternoon), I can fully draw out the history of our friendship without embarrassing her. I don’t keep in touch with a lot of my high school friends. Some of [...]

Pissed Off Wednesday

April 28, 2011 God

I was planning to take a short break from blogging but I guess I just cannot stay away. I have so many thoughts in my mind and I just feel like blabbing sharing right now. I was pissed as hell yesterday. So many things pissing me off. First of all, it was damn hot. The [...]

Ooh! Ching-Chong Mapo Tofu Tong!

March 20, 2011 Los Angeles

When I first heard about the outrage over a UCLA girl’s rant against Asians, I was a bit surprised. I watched the YouTube in which she complained about the loud Asians on their cell phones in the library. Then she mimicked an Asian by singing, “Oooh! Ching-chong-ling-long-ting-tong, ooh!” I laughed. Yes, I laughed. Because until [...]

Ready for Dumplings

January 10, 2011 Los Angeles

Crapping at the Rain

December 21, 2010 eating out

Forget smiling in the rain…after 5 continuous day of rain, rain, and rain, I’m crapping at the rain. And that’s what Los Angeles is doing right back at us, too. Crapping on us. It’s as if it has been holding its bladder forever, and now, in a flood of diarrhea, it’s unleashing everything—and I mean [...]

Queen of Kabocha Land

November 3, 2010 eating out

I suppose everyone has had dreams after which they question their sanity. I, not too long ago, dreamed that I was Queen of Kabocha Land. Quit snickering, and let me continue on with my story. My entire land was a rich, fruitful field of kabochas. Just acres and acres of kabochas sprouting everywhere, ripe and [...]
