Post 4th of July
All things considered, my 4th of July wasn’t bad. I started the day by meeting my friend and her daughter at AMC Theaters to see the matinee of “Despicable Me 2.” I’m not usually a huge fan of animated movies, but the original “Despicable Me” was my favorite. Although this one was cute, the original … Continue reading

Although I would still LOVE the chance to live abroad, I am proud to be an AMERICAN, enjoying the many freedoms that we have!!! Happy Independence Day!!!
My Friend Is Looking For A Sponsor For a Kajukenbo Karate Championship
My friend, Bobby, has been practicing martial arts since he was a teenager in Vallejo. He was always phenomenal. He’s currently looking for a sponsor for the Kajukenbo Karate Championship in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 13, 2013. Although there isn’t much time, if any of you can sponsor him, help him in any way … Continue reading
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
Musical Mass Confusion Monday
I’m all over the place today; lots on my mind. The new roommate, Austin, was by this evening to pick up his key, pay the rent and begin moving his things. He said that he’d probably have to make 6 or 7 trips, though I think he was only here once. He said that he’d … Continue reading
A Movie and Some Music
After sneaking out off the office a little early yesterday, I dashed over to AMC Theaters to see “White House Down.” Why did I sneak out early? Well, after teasing a guy in the office mercilessly the day before yesterday about his (in)ability to dance, then making him watch a YouTube video on How to … Continue reading
For Rick – On Musical Monday
Back when I lived in WeHo (West Hollywood), I had a boyfriend named Rick for one torrid summer. Don’t know how we met; think it was through his friend and later roommate, Steve, when I bumped into the two of them at an Asian Food Festival. It’s weird that I suddenly can’t remember the first … Continue reading
This Is For You, Nicola!
This afternoon I made a little stop at my favorite burger place, Pearl’s. I’m dedicating this post to Nicola because, when he was here studying English last year, he’d asked me about a good burger place. I suggested Pearl’s, as well as showing him where it was. He confessed to having gone there THREE times … Continue reading
I Couldn’t Help Myself
This post relates to nothing at all! Part of our office is being renovated, which requires me to clean out my cubicle, legal files, my boss’ office, closing documents, etc. and relocate them to another part of the office for at least a minimum of a month and a half. Then comes the joy of … Continue reading
