Spherical Foods


Okay, I’ll admit, when I first saw this week’s photo challenge, I didn’t really think I would have any pictures of circles but once I began searching, it turned out I have lots and most of them were of food. So may I present my gallery of spherical foods. Continue reading “Spherical Foods”

Coffee House Ramble #6


Weekly Coffee House Ramble

So we are four days from Christmas and evidently, my special friend thinks it’s high time for a break. Therefore, she’s not coming. It’s just me.  Continue reading “Coffee House Ramble #6”

A Christmas Gathering


I think I mentioned this in a previous post, I attended another Christmas party last weekend. This party was hosted by the neighborhood Ward (Ward means church). Apparently, a party is hosted there every year and we never knew about it until now. It turned out to be one of the more enjoyable parties I’ve been to.  Continue reading “A Christmas Gathering”

Out of Focus


Have you ever had a moment where you look at a picture on the tiny screen of your camera and thought, “Gee, this is such a perfect picture.” Then, when you blow the picture up on your desktop, you’re like, “What in the world!” Continue reading “Out of Focus”

Worst Quality?


What are my worst qualities?

If you ask different people, they will tell you something very different. For example, my mom will probably say my worst quality is that I’m lazy while if you ask, say, my driving instructor, he will probably say I am too careful which apparently is not always a good thing when it comes to driving.

Me myself?

I think one of my seriously bad quality is procrastination. Oftentimes, I will tell myself, “Okay, the assignment is due in two weeks. You better get a move on and finish it this weekend.” Then I will relax and then three days before the assignment is due, I will panic. The weird thing is, this only happens with school assignments. I don’t procrastinate at work. I don’t know what my deal with procrastination is.the-5-stages-of-procrastination_o_302869

My other bad quality is that I often find myself running my mouth off. Mom is often mad at me for this. I mean, it’s not like I’m not trying. I try to filter my thoughts but it seems to make everything worse. It’s like before, these were just random thoughts but now, these thoughts have gone from random to ridiculous. Maybe I’m trying too hard to filter my thoughts to act mature. I don’t know, all I know is I’m better when I’m not thinking too hard.181_cartoon_rambling

Set Three Goals


I did Blogging 201 in February of 2015. I didn’t really need it at the time but what the heck, I could use some advice. However, I think I am taking this course now to help me grow this blog and it will give me a chance to learn about more ways to beautify this blog.  Continue reading “Set Three Goals”

A Christmas Party


Friday night, I was at a party. It was nice and festive. There were more children than adults, the ratio of children to adult each table was about 6 to 2. In fact, our table was most likely the only table with the most adults, 6 adults and 4 children, two sat in chair while two sat on parents’ laps. Continue reading “A Christmas Party”

A Child’s Dream


When I was 10, I was getting ready to make the trip of a lifetime, the 11-hour airplane ride from Guangzhou, China to Los Angeles, California. I wasn’t thinking of what I want to become when I grew up. Just trying to adapt to my new environment was a difficult enough task. Continue reading “A Child’s Dream”

Stubborn Culture


The whole reason for travel is to experience new cultures, food, and places, right? Not searching for the same type of food you’re already eating everyday. Maybe that’s why I am frustrated by my family and maybe a little of the culture I come from.  Continue reading “Stubborn Culture”

The 103rd Floor


I have a minor fear of heights. I say minor because I don’t freak out like my mom. My knees would just buckle. So when I found myself standing in line with my hotel roommate along with a few of the group members in line to board the elevator to the 103rd floor of the Willis (Sears) Tower on the afternoon of my third day in Chicago, I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
