“We’re going to freeze to death!” I squeal as I pile two more blankets over me, constructing a sort of tent. I have never been so cold in my life. It is the end of January, my teeth clatter as I bring myself dangerously close to the space heater. Continue reading “Flash Fiction: Freezing” →
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” →
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” →
I was supposed to have another story (fiction) for you today but I didn’t get to finish it, guess I’ll just have to leave it for another day. I spent the morning out and about, soaking up some sunshine. We went up to the air force base to see what’s left from the Black Friday sale and didn’t see anything we liked. So we ended up just restocking the pantry and fridge with food. Continue reading “What happened to my money?” →
I can hardly believe it. Thanksgiving has come and gone this year and Christmas is coming in a month and 2016 in less than 5 weeks! This year feels like it’s just breezed by. It was just 12 weeks ago that I began school and now, I’m two weeks away from finals. Continue reading “The Best Thanksgiving” →
Friday has recently become my favorite day of the week and not because it’s Friday. This may sound strange but it’s because I get to go to work. Continue reading “A Typical Friday” →

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” →
What type of popular candy you do not like to get?
Taffy and Caramel. Those stick to the roof of my mouth like crazy. Oh, and also nuts, the gaps between my teeth are too big that nuts get stuck between them. Continue reading “Share Your World – 2015 Week #46” →
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.

I love going to museums because first of all, I’m kind of a history lover and secondly, museums are quiet rich learning environments and I get to see something different every time I go. Continue reading “The Art Institute” →
I have been blogging for more than two years and so far, I’ve written more than a thousand posts and published about 930. I can tell you that all of those posts were typed using my ancient laptop, a Sony Vaio laptop just two months shy of turning six. It’s been very reliable over the years even though it has indeed caused a few scares. Continue reading “Writing Habits” →
It’s hard to believe I was in the Windy City just two Sundays ago. I can still remember that day as if it happened yesterday. I was wandering around Millennium Park searching for my group while feeling irritating and panicky. Continue reading “Two Sundays Ago…” →

If you were on a debate team, what general subject would you relish debating?
I was never on any debate team nor do I want to be. I don’t like to debate on any subject whatsoever. Guess that’s just who I am. Continue reading “Share Your World – 2015 Week #43” →
