A few weeks ago, I realized that the ratty old lounge pants I was donning were more than a decade old. They were stretched out, pilling, stained, and just plain ugly from age. Luckily, Old Navy was having a huge sale, so while picking up some new PJs for Claire, I decided to get a […]
A couple of weeks ago, I gathered up some information (how long I’ve been with Verizon Wireless, how much I spend per month, how I always pay my bill on time, and what other carriers are offering) and made a call to customer service. “My current phone is DYING,” I pleaded. “I’ve taken it to […]
Last year, I had an unfortunate accident which led to a herniated disc in my neck. I obviously could not take care of both girls by myself with the injury and its corresponding treatments; I ended up staying at my parents’ in the suburbs for almost 2 months so that they and my sister could […]
The internet has a tendency to dramatize certain mundane life events, wouldn’t you say? 😉 And if you’re reading this, it probably means that you’re familiar with the trends and memes of the popular web which also leads me to believe you’ve heard of the “stepping on a LEGO piece while barefoot” mania.

And wouldn’t you know it — now that Claire is 28 months old, many of my mommy friends whose first children are around her age have steadily been giving birth to their seconds in these past few months. I’m happy for my friends […]
There are 3 things that make me unnecessarily nervous: 1. The “icy” warning in my car’s dashboard whenever the temperature dips below freezing. Do car manufacturers think we’re idiots? Isn’t it obvious that the roads may be icy when it’s this cold? I know that the warning is meant to be just that: a warning. But it […]
We both knew it would happen one day. We just didn’t think it would be so soon. Yesterday, at 28 months old, our Claire Emmanuelle outsmarted us. Okay, not exactly “outsmart” in the veritable definition of the word. ( out·smart : to get the better of; especially : outwit ) More accurately, she performed a mental feat […]
When I was a little girl still living in Korea, I overheard that a good “test” to conduct on a future daughter-in-law is to have her peel an apple for you. If she is able to peel the apple so that the skin remains in one piece, this indicates that she is not only adept […]

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.
