  • Project: Flowering Teas Instagram photos

    I have a penchant for beautifully quiet objects. Contemplative and observant. It’s one of the rules of being a wallflower. Wistful and wishful. Plain and overlooked. But everyone holds some sort of depth. You just have to look for it, if you want to try.

  • Monthly Flower Task

    One’s love story isn’t always “Girl meets someone, Girl falls in love, Girl fights and gets the person.” It isn’t some sort of fairy tale with happily ever after. It’s normally Girl meets frogs. TONS OF THEM. Girl filters frog. Girl is heart-broken. Sometimes, heart-broken so often, girl thinks, “will I ever have a chance?”…

  • DC Cherry Blossom 2012

    If you’re ever adventurous and have the energy and time, New York City offers the chance to go away to a different city for the day with very cheap fares. You can go as far north as Boston or as far south as DC. Even go on a cruise to the marshlands of Far Rockaway.…

  • Oheka Castle Getaway

    Winter has been tamed, weather-wise, in New York City. If anything, spring arrived earlier than normal. So it was a great idea to take a getaway trip for the night outside the rushing city life.

  • Tour of Sweet Eateries in the Village

    It’s been awhile since I’ve made plans to go out and explore the city. Mostly, it had been dreary, cold, and a stressful start to the year. Mother nature worked out on my side as fog and rain dissipated to warmth and sun. I walked through Soho to find a beautiful public artwork on the…

  • List: Karaoke night

    Is it too stereotypical to say Asians love karaoke? Almost every Cambodian family I knew growing up in the Khmer community had a karaoke machine with those HUGE LP’s. Needless to say, every Khmer party was not complete without food (noodles, pra-hok, or hot pot), card playing, and of course, music, meaning karaoke. Sometimes I…

  • List: Flowers I Love

    I love flowers. I adore the smell, the feel, and its beauty that last so minutely in a span of our life. Once plucked, it withers and shrivels, disintegrating back into the earth it came out of. But even without touching, it’s just likely to die like all life on earth. Yet, I am enthralled…

  • Bucket List (revised) 2012

    We’ve all made bucket list, mentally or physically. We may even buy books about “1000 Places to Visit Before You Die” or do as many crazy things as possible if we are to live so short. I made one when I was younger and the list went on and on and on. As time passed…

  • 2012 Resolutions

    A new year, a new start, new goals to aim for. Realistic goals. They are always saying, make sure you make realistic achievable goals that YOU can strive to fulfill. Saying you’ll lose 100 lbs is not achievable if you don’t exercise or only go to the gym one month. It’s a commitment and willingness…

  • 2011 Resolutions in Retrospect

    What a year! 2011 has been a decent year, if not a busy social year indeed. I always say that I’m anti-social but I find myself going out every week whether it’s to meet friends for dinner, drinks, or just to go see a movie! But I was conscientious about the goals I set for…
