Of Things Unseen

Being of Asian/Pacific Islander descent, being “superstitious” is probably second nature to me.  I don’t travel without a rosary and/or a religious icon.  Now, after having had it for 2 or 3 years, I also don’t like to travel without my silver Barong ring from Bali.  The Barong is for protection.  Sometimes I also wear … Continue reading »

Trial and Error Travel

There’s a bit of a lull before my next trip.  It’s not even the end of June and I’ll be “stationary” in San Francisco until mid-August.  On August 16th, I’ll fly to Albuquerque, New Mexico, then take a shuttle to Santa Fe to be there the weekend of Indian Market.  A couple of people had … Continue reading »

Just Got Paid

Remember that song by Johnny Kemp? Well, yesterday was pay day for me, so I had an urge to go out for a few drinks last night. After work, I went to one of my favorite places, Panta Rei, and sat at the bar. The restaurant was rather quiet right after work, but the place … Continue reading »

A Helping Hand

For some reason, people constantly ask me for money.  Is it because, for the most part, I seemingly have my life in order?  Is it because I tend to travel a lot?  The reason I’m not destitute is because I don’t live WILDLY beyond my means.  I shop at CostCo, Target and Trader Joe’s for … Continue reading »

The Truth Is…

I was always meant for Paris and Paris was always meant for me.  I tried to tell myself that Italy better suited me.  I even tried to find my spirituality in Bali.  Now that I’m here again, I realize that Paris is my one true love.  She’s neither broken my spirit or my heart, and … Continue reading »

Date Number Two

I went on my first date with a second guy from the on-line dating website this afternoon.  We met at Harry’s Bar over on Fillmore Street.  He was there exactly on time and sent a message to check on me.  I walked from my apartment, so showed up a few minutes after our meeting time. … Continue reading »
