My week came at me fast and left just as quickly. It seems like yesterday when I was just here, happily typing away, telling you guys about our hike at Holy Jim trail. Here we are, a week after. Went by me in a blink. Inauguration Day was also our 7th wedding anniversary. It was a new beginning for the country I live in and quite a momentous moment in my marriage. Last year, people said that America would rather elect a woman than a black man as president. Here stands Barrack Obama in front of millions, the day after...

Those who have been following my Twitter might have seen the drama of Friday. 2 weeks ago, Brandon went to the dermatologist to have a few spots on his face checked out. While there, the doctor insisted to just look him over and took a biopsy from this spot on his back. Friday was his follow up appointment and it turned out the one on the back is well on its way to become a melanoma. To be on the safe side, the derm scooped out the skin around the area and sent that to the lab as well. All...

I have been staying up passed my bed time this week. Case in point, see time stamp. It seems I just have a lot I want to do and I’m excited about all of them. I’ve been busy updating my experiences at the Temple and at the food blog with my cooking binge. I can’t tell you enough how much joy cooking give me. Now even more joyous that Brandon has the monopoly on dishes. It was like a runner’s high for me. I feel awesome having cooked something we can both enjoy. So I’ve been indulging in that little...

Hey, you. Yeah, YOU! De-lurk. Now! Delurking Day is when you, my readers, reveal yourself. Leave a comment here to say hello to the world. Some of you are here all the time but never left a comment. Some just dropped in on accident, you too can show yourself. This would be the day to do that and show the blogosphere–and yours truly–some love. And thanks to Rude Cactus for letting me in on this great day! Now….a quick weekend recap. Friday party with Candice the Goodbye Girl. Tequila stained clothing included. Saturday at Slumdog Millionaire with the girls. Sunday...

I watched “The Martian Child” this morning. The Martian Child thinks he’s from Mars. Others think he’s weird but his adoptive dad goes with it and accepts him anyway. I’ve always seen myself as an outsider since I was a kid. True, there were worse cases of “odd girls out” than how I feel, but I have never felt 100% belong anywhere. A part of me is always the odd girl out somewhere else. The geeklet among the “normal” people. But not geeky enough for the full-fledge geeks. The film snob among the mainstream Hollywood crowd. Not into the real...

Not resolution. Goals. Back in my Taekwondo days, our master had us turn in our 10 goals for the year and recap what you’ve accomplished the year before. Guess I’ll start that tradition here on the blog this year. 1. Explore Kung-fu. I did like Taekwondo but as strange as this may sound I’m looking to do something more flow-y. Dance-like. Capoiera would be cool to explore too. 2. Drink more water: one glass in the morning and one before bed. Ah, the yearly goal. I tend to give up after trips to the bathroom in the middle of the...
