Oh yeah. Friday was a HELL of a day. It actually started Thursday night. Thursday night We had dinner and sampled ridiculous variety of beer with Paul and Lupe at Beachwood Barbecue. I finally had my Mac and Cheese, the BEST I’ve had and lord knows how many sips of whats I had. Nice and buzzed, I got home to a monstrous task of trying to watch most DVR’ed shows as I can before we get the box replaced on Friday. And what a week to have the DVR taken away too! Since I haven’t been home all week, Brandon...

After 16 years of going home to my family dentist every year, someone else got to look at these pearly…well…ivories. (Whitening these puppies? Not a chance! Not my natural coloring.) After 16 years of being in the U.S., my teeth finally have been touched by American dentists. That’s right. Dentists. Plural. Three of them. All in one day too. Originally, I was supposed to go to the orthodontist consultation appointment then go to work. But then I had this mild sore throat and been tired all over since yesterday, so I decided to just stay home after the appointment. As...

I had my first ever facial today. And it was good.I’m now nice and blotchy and glowing and relaxed. Aside from the astringent/toner spray at the end there that stung like a mofo–however, my aesthetician fanned my face vigorously to some relief–everything was wonderful. While she left me for a minute while my face get steamed, it hit me. I used to follow my mom to her facial appointments. There was this one salon down the way on Soi Langsuan wayyyy back in the day that she used to go to. Our driver would take us there. We’d get our...

I was up all night last night. It wasn’t 4:30 a.m. before I crawled back into bed. It started with me coming home hungry and decided on eating two-day-old deep-fried salt cured fish (Plah Dad Deaw Todd) with rice. I figured, it’s cured and it’s only two days old. I’ve eaten worse. A combination of having inhaled my dinner and possibly bad fish caused quite a reaction. Like I tweeted earlier, the fish was swimming upstream all night and is still threathening to go downstream as well. I tried to sleep but I couldn’t. As to not to bug Brandon,...

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...

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...
