Star Wars Marathon Party

I’m waiting on the development of some film, so for the time being, I give you– Baby Darth Vader! Hello, young padawan . . . Over Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend, I hosted a Star Wars marathon watching party at my boyfriend’s house. Yes, that epic, epic space opera by George Lucas. You know […]

Dreaming of the Summer; Big Sur, California

No, those are not ants struggling in the water. Although I definitely thought they were when I first looked down the side of the cliff and saw little dots floating on the clear, crystalline blue Pacific Ocean. No, not ants at all. They’re surfers! As I clutch at my rapidly cooling coffee, my mind has […]

Exploring the Marin Headlands

Let me just put this out there. Selfies. Are ridiculous. Now, I appreciate the occasional good selfie, but when people are hanging out the sunroof of a car while driving along a road in order to get a selfie with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background—well, that’s just dumb. I prefer, instead, to jostle […]

Road Trip Down the California Coast; Birthday Shenanigans (Pt. I)

If you ask my friends, they would tell you that I have a tendency to over-celebrate my birthday. Celebrations can last a week, with food and libations, of course. From the end of September to the days leading up to Halloween, I call my friends out to have dinner and lunch and coffee. Narcissistic much? […]

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, folks. Here’s to 2015 being a helluva lot better than 2014. (Above is a little sneak peak at an upcoming post about our trip down the Pacific Coastline earlier this year.)

(T-Minus 2) A Thankful Ten Days Before Christmas: Mama and Papa Yang

I may be somewhat biased— okay, I’m definitely biased— but my parents are the cutest parents on the face of the planet. Day -2: I am thankful for my parents There isn’t enough I can say about my parents to express my gratitude for them raising and loving and caring for me. Where does one […]

(T-Minus 3) A Thankful Ten Days Before Christmas: Traveling

Ever since I was an infant, I have been traveling. My mother managed to haul me and two suitcases full of necessities to Asia before I turned one. Since then, between moving all over the country with my parents, I consistently returned to Asia every few years to visit my parents’ families. That’s probably where […]

(T-Minus 4) A Thankful Ten Days Before Christmas: Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum

Once upon a time, many years ago, when my brothers and I went to the beach for a family vacation, I was lying on the beach, sunbathing, when all of a sudden, I felt cold ocean water being dumped on my back. A pair of voices appeared. “It’s a BEACHED WHALE! Hurry! We need to […]

(T-Minus 5) A Thankful Ten Days Before Christmas: Photography and the Little Things

I get the distinct feeling that my eyes look more goldfish than human. Today, anyway. I’ve been feeling like a sick monkey all day. My head feels like a time bomb, ready to explode, and my nose is bright red and about to fall off my face, I’ve rubbed it so much. I’ve gone through […]
