I never really liked our country’s obsession with BMI for the obvious reasons: it doesn’t take into account your bone structure, muscle vs fat ratio, or fitness level. I’m probably biased against the BMI system because I have thick bones — my wrist circumference is 6″, which is in the thick range for my height. […]
Remember when Gmail was invite-only? I remember getting overly excited for J when he became the first person I knew in real life to get a Gmail invite (only a couple of days after the service launched!), and feeling a strange sense of accomplishment when he was finally able to invite others and gladly presented […]
In my post about the 2010 World Cup Murals, reader Nina left a comment to correct my grammar: It’s “I COULDN’T care less about soccer.” “I can care less” implies that you do in fact care about soccer and it would be possible for you reduce the amount you care. Make sense? 🙂 This was […]
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 […]
When J and I were planning our wedding, we were pleasantly surprised to find that our venue would provide a cake at no extra cost. SCORE! We thought. One less thing to plan, one less vendor to deal with, and one less thing to worry about. We chose our cake from an album of “typical” wedding cakes, […]
This morning started like any other. I woke up, took the dog for a walk, and quickly checked the mirror for eye crusties and hair peaks before running out the door to drive J to work. (Yes, I know I don’t have to drive him to work. But I like to, especially in the past few […]
I’ve been majorly slacking on my weekly pregnancy updates. I have no excuse other than the fact that I got lazy. Sorry! Remember that nasty case of round ligament pains? Well, they certainly contributed to a major belly growth spurt — just look at the difference between weeks 18 and 19! …but then again, my […]
It has recently come to my attention that many people think using an ultrasound picture as your Facebook profile picture is creepy. “I cringe whenever I see one. I don’t want to see a picture of your uterus or your fetus. TMI!” A random Facebook profile using an ultrasound picture as the profile picture. All […]
I read this story on WithoutWax.tv and I had to share… * * * * * Emotional Whiplash Whiplash is a word I’ve used more than once when describing the emotions I often go through as a pastor. Yesterday was a difficult day. I apologize in advance for the length of this post, but I […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
