Five things Friday is a post where I share five things that either made my week, what I am thinking about, or would like to share with all of you! 1. Spending my weeknight dinners in the backyard Daylight is getting longer and the weather has not been too cold or wet.

For this weekend’s Coffee Share, let’s review my 21 in 2021 list. Oh yeah, get some alfajores! 3. I am still doing my #Read21in21. To be honest, I did not find a lot of good books in March. I was placed on the waitlist for a lot of the books I wanted to read and read whatever looked interesting. There were a lot I did … Continue reading March Overview
Sugar brings happiness. Eating it once or twice a week in a dessert, that’s what life is about. There is nothing wrong with it. Adriano Zumbo One of my favorite things about travelling is eating pastries and desserts — it’s always on my travel itinerary. This is from a pastry shop in Rome. Feel free to pick one — or pick them all! Lens-Artists Photo … Continue reading Pick a pastry
I thought for this Weekend Coffee Share I should take a break and write something a little more light-hearted. I am happy to say that we are returning to some sense of normalcy. Today we are going out for Easter brunch at this restaurant we’ve been meaning to go to for some time. Also it’s Lana’s first Easter. I feel I get to have part … Continue reading Back to some normalcy

Listening to lots of podcast around the Asian American experience. Why am I spending my week listening to podcast about Asian Americans? Because I know my experience as an Asian American is not representative … Continue reading Five things Friday: Support your Postmates delivery person!
The unusual shapes and the way the walls and ceilings capture light makes the Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik a fun building to take photos. One of my biggest regrets was not watching a show at the Harpa — I don’t care what show. It could have been a concert, a comedy act, play, or a ballet — I wanted to watch something at this … Continue reading Harpa Concert Hall
Note: this is going to be a very long, hard post. For the next few posts, I will write about Asian American identity and how it has affected my life and how I’ve come to acknowledge my privilege (more on that later). I’ve spent the last several days listening to podcasts learning more about American history from the Asian American POV and listening to other … Continue reading Born here, yet foreign
Living in LA, it is very easy to change scenery. Here are places less than 10 miles from my house. It’s funny how a few minutes away from the crowd and congestion can make all a difference. Continue reading Change of scenery
Welcome to another Weekend Coffee Share. This week was a little rough since I feel like I opened a can of worms this past Sunday. I am so glad Friday came about knowing my BIL was gone for the weekend. So what happened was my husband brought up that his brother wants to get a shed in our backyard to store his stuff. When my … Continue reading Bitter pills

Turon in the break room Thursday was a pretty rough morning for me. Thankfully turon in the breakroom brightened my day.

My favorite color is green. To me I find it relaxing, yet refreshing. It is a marriage of a calm color (blue) and bright, happy color (yellow). Since I live in a city, finding patches of green makes me happy. I’m not saying I’d live in a rural area. I enjoy the conveniences of city life too much. To me, a trip to the park … Continue reading Life in Color: Green
I don’t remember the last time I’ve used a filter on social media. Maybe when I first got my dog, Teddy? I thought, “why would I filter my dog? He’s great just the way he is.” That was about six years ago.. Since then I have not bothered with filters and presets and it’s been incredibly liberating. Anyways, here are some photos with no filters. … Continue reading Natural Light
