  • 13 Places to Visit in 2013

    Because I’m saving money for a trip with my family to Cambodia, I know I won’t be traveling too far out of New York. But the good thing is, despite the city being small, there’s a lot of to do. Many of the tourist attractions I have gone through when I first moved to New…

  • 2013 New Year’s Resolution

    It’s that time of the year again where we can say “let’s start a new slate!” Last year, I made a very short list and I made through with a few hiccups. This year, continuing with last year’s resolution (health, money management, vacation), I tack on a few to help move me in my career.

  • Being a Conscientious Fashion Lover

    I adore fashionable items. I love buying clothes, shoes, and accessories. My walk-in closet is overflowing with things that I don’t even remember buying, some still with price tags on them. Why do I buy? Sometimes, out of boredom, sometimes out of need, sometimes, I don’t even remember why except at one point, I really…

  • Steamed Egg

    A lot of time, many of my recipes are halved or used very little egg. And I’m left with all this egg! I couldn’t possibly throw it away! So I normally save the egg to make steamed egg. I find it’s the poor people food because it’s mostly water. My mom makes this all the…

  • Spicy Tuna Stuffed in Panko Crusted Squid

    One of the things I love about tuna is that it can taste like meat if you cook it right. So when I originally tried this menu Spicy Tuna Stuffed Squid Tempura by Jennifer Yu of Use Real Butter (by the way, she has AWESOME photos on her website!), I thought, wow, it was amazing!…

  • Wild Flower Lime-ade

    I love flowers. There’s no doubt about that. I’m intrigued by them, drawn to them, and probably in my last life, I was a flower myself. One of my gifts happened to be a wild hibiscus flower in syrup (or you could also purchase it at Macy’s Cellar). Since it’s summer (though today is a…

  • General Grant Memorial + Riverside Park

    Back in 2010, I took a couple of friends to a science lecture at Columbia University (Pupin Hall) where they offered astronomy viewing from their amazing telescopes on the roof top in upper Manhattan. That was my first encounter with an astrophysicist who was not only good looking but incredibly lean and built. Who knew…

  • Summer Movies are Back in the City!

    Ah! It’s summer again and it’s going to be a hot, hot summer in the city! Possibly rainy since there was barely any snow this past winter. What I love most about the city is the summer movies in the park! Outside, having a picnic and watching some movie on the big screen with the…

  • Exploring Red Hook

    Abandoned Trolleys in Red Hook Before IKEA moved in and claimed Red Hook as a Swedish meatball landmark, Red Hook was an abandoned warehouse area much like most of the East River front walk from LIC, Greenpoint and down towards Brooklyn Navy Yard. When I first moved to the city, I never visited the area…

  • Snug Harbor/Chinese Scholar’s Garden

    When I was in college, I worked as a computer lab assistant with my roommate and a few others. One of our bosses was this successful woman who was single and strong and brave. We thought to ourselves, will we be like that when we get to her age? It seems a lifetime ago. Through…
