I think I’m the only Asian girl I know who has never been into Hello Kitty. However, I’ve decided to share these illustrations by Joseph Senior because I’m sure there are tons of Hello Kitty fans among my readers. Plus, it’s not every day you see Hello Kitty dressed as Jason (of Friday the Thirteenth fame). Or as […]
Yesterday, J sent me a link to an online t-shirt store with a note that read, “Thought you might appreciate the design.” from left to right: England, USA, Brazil As you can see, each shirt has printed the names of the players who will be participating in the World Cup for that particular country. I […]
What happens to the number of stars on Old Glory when a new state joins the union? Well, a federal law requires that the number of stars must equal the number of states.

There are exactly two weeks left until I become a soccer widow. While J and I share enthusiasm for basketball and football, there is one sport where we do not stand on common ground: soccer. Having grown up in Hong Kong and attended boarding school in England, J is a HUGE soccer — ahem, football — fan. His […]
Being Chinese, J and his family are the ultimate tea snobs. My in-laws bring with them fancy, expensive tea whenever they come to visit and rarely does a day go by without their drinking at least a few glasses of an infusion. They even specify which types of tea to drink with different dishes, and […]
I have always had a soft spot for architecture. I mean, who hasn’t seriously considered becoming an architect after reading Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead? And as cliché as it sounds, Frank Lloyd Wright has always been my favorite architect and Fallingwater my favorite residential building. Visiting Fallingwater has been on my to-do list for over […]
While I am a foodie, I’m not the healthiest person in the world when it comes to eating. Alright, I eat like crap. (Don’t worry, I’ve gotten a lot better since I got pregnant.) So it should come to no surprise that I hardly ever pay attention to nutrition facts labels. Ingredients. Vitamins/minerals. Measurements. Percentages. […]
