Brandon’s gone for the week. It’s wawy wawy qwayet it the house. Why is it that when your significant other goes away, suddenly you just don’t know what to do with your time? I mean, I still have the same stuff I have to do when he was here. There are plans with friends and other people that I could have done on my own with him at home or not. But then, once he’s out, suddenly the same amount of time that I have seem to multiply even though if he was here, we would be doing pretty much...

Coworkers congregated in my cubicle over some chocolate covered almonds. “Have you seen Oakley’s article in the Daily Breeze?” Coworker #1 referred to my 15 seconds of fame. “No,” Coworker #2. CW#1 continued to tell CW#2 about Temple of Fresh & Easy blog.

Where am I going? Brandon inadvertently made a hakaw dumbling out of our fresh laundry as a way to transport them. I must apologize for the lack of posts these past few days. There is a LOT to say but I haven’t the moment to actually sit down and write. I promise to write over the weekend, okay? On Tuesday, I was on Sony Studios lot, helping Celeste put on an event. That was our last together. Last night, we were out at the largest going away party I’ve thrown so far. Celeste brought a herd of friends on her...

I was wondering why I woke up singing “Que Sera, Sera.” It’s one of my mom’s lullabies. Today is Thai Mother’s Day. The first without mom. Here’s a red gerbera daisy instead of your favorite red rose, mom. Hope you like it....
