November is going to be one heck of a month. I can’t even believe it’s less than a week away till Halloween is over, and the presidential election is over. And before we know it, Christmas and New Years will be upon us and a brand we’ll usher in a brand new 2009. Here’s what’s […]
I received several responses to my previous post about my dad’s email… even an email from my dad! My next step is definitely to give him a call because emails don’t really get to the heart of the matter.
Here are snippets of some of my favorite responses:
From Billy:
lakdsjfsdlkfjy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From Doug:
Start by addressing his cynicism that only […]
The video should be the correct one now…
The video above was actually cut off in the process of uploading to Revver, so I’ve uploaded a new one, but it’ll take a day or so to get approved. Stay tuned for the full video!
Check out my first vlog/video rant about how my dad is a wannabe […]
I knew my month-long trip was going to be awesome, but I didn’t really expect it to be as life-changing as it was. I just got home today, and I’ve got a lot more processing to do on the entire trip from LA to North Carolina to New York and then Miami, but let’s just […]
I’m really looking forward to a crazy, fun, and travel-filled summer filled with multiple trips to the South, a quick visit to NYC, and a full-circle trip to USC to facilitate a workshop with Karla at our alma mater. I signed up for this new Twitter-like social-networking site called Dopplr, which touts itself as an […]
My mom called me this weekend, and asked me if I had thought about my application for American citizenship yet. Honestly, I didn’t know and was caught off guard.
The rest of my family got their citizenship earlier this year after over a decade and a half of struggling through the outrageously complicated and inept American […]
Here’s a letter I wrote to some friends who attended our SFGMC concert last Friday, May 16, 2008.
Hey all,
I just wanted to send thanks and love for attending my concert and supporting my little hobby. It really made a difference to know that you all were sitting in the audience, and I felt like I […]
Dear Friends,
Hi, how are you? Oh, you’re doing well? That’s great. Me? Oh, busy as usual. You know, work, singing, traveling, eating, etc. Thanks for asking. Oh, you haven’t seen me in a while? Yea, I know. Apologies! May’s going to be a really event-packed month for me, too, so we’ll just […]
My goddaughter Bea is here for about a month, visiting from the Philippines, and we rendezvoused in Las Vegas to hang out with my family and hers. It was great to see my family, although after a couple of months of traveling, I’m ready to settle down for a bit again.
Left: Me and Bea. Right: […]
Here’s a post from the past! After I moved back to the states from Japan, one of the first things I did was to buy my Honda Element. RIP Utada. After re-reading the post, it sounds extremely anti-American!
I bought my brand new magnetic grey 2008 Prius today from Fairfield Toyota, and immediately went for a joyride to Napa Valley with my visiting aunt, uncle and god daughter. In less than the ten hours, I logged close to 200 miles on my new ride, and words can hardly express how totally sweet it […]

Thanks for voting… I’m getting a Prius soon, and will post pics.
It would be really fun to write a play-by-play rundown of all of the characters I encountered today during my hybrid hunting jaunt, but let me just say that my overall experience today with car salesmen was quite positive and not as scary as I had experienced before. One of my friends at the chorus […]
Because I live 35 miles from my place of work, East Palo Alto, having a car is a necessity. I have about a week left before my insurance replacement is done, thus, I have a week to shop for a new car.
My top two priorities in looking for a new car are:
Safety
Good fuel economy
My secret […]
Don’t be alarmed. I realize that most of the people I work with (whether it’s adults or kids) know that I was in car accident on Sunday, March 23, 2008. I failed, however, to really let anyone else know, and instead became kind of a hermit about it, which is my tendency.
Without going into too […]
Years ago, a fortune teller told me that spring is my best season, and I have no reason to not believe that because who would not love the blooming flora and the renewed sun of the season? But spring also marks the beginning of my favorite activity: traveling.
And I surely have been been traveling a […]
