  • A Fault

    Somehow, two decades have passed since I moved to the United States (for good). Twenty years. How did that happen?  That’s first grade through high school, four years of college, two years of hanging around, and two years of law school.  And in all that time, I have not been able to become fluent in…

  • Teh Awesome

    It’s hard being awesome. I don’t mean to say that in a pretentious, snobby way as in, “I know that I am awesome, it’s tough being me.” But more in the way of: I forget that I am awesome and forget to BE awesome.

    There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

  • Archive of My Life

    It took some time, but I have most of the online journal archives in one place.  Reading through all my old thoughts, I finally grasped how far I’ve come.  Sometimes I cringed.  Other times, I just laughed at my immaturity.  And still other times, I feel sad for the girl who didn’t seem to have…

  • Can I Ever Catch Up?

    There’s this long list of things to do and with each passing day, it gets longer and harder to accomplish.  I just cannot manage to catch up on my life.  School and work and home – it’s all just piling up.  The more I cannot get done, the more I feel guilty and stressed.  And…

  • Test of Conviction

    My father called me tonight while I was reviewing my Ethical Lawyering reading.  He said he missed me.  As sappy and dorky as my dad is, I love him.  He’s my best friend. He also let me know something to give me time to “get used to the idea.”  Granted, he told me about the…

  • Quarter-Century: The Obligatory Post

    It’s been 25 years of life for me (well almost or already, depending on how you count the days and hours), and I will admit that I did not expect most of what has happened.  But you really anticipate what’s going to happen; you just have to go with what’s given to you.  And maybe…

  • Adventure? Excitement? A Jedi Craves Not These Things

    Apparently, I’ve been missing something in my life.  Like all the references of Star Wars in popular culture.   What?  I’ve been busy.  (If you ever want to shock people, just tell them you’ve never seen Star Wars. Then see what happens when you say you haven’t seen the first three Indiana Jones movies before seeing…

  • The Red Line

    Los Angeles is not known for its subway.  People who have lived here for years don’t even realize there is a subway.  Admittedly, it’s not very convenient – doesn’t reach most of the spread-out city.  But it’s there, and I take it. One of the perks of taking the subway is the opportunity to watch…
