Lin fever.

Read Article →

It all happened on the morning after the Knicks defeated the Nets on Saturday, February 4 for me. I was browsing the internet and while I was clicking away, I came across a video highlighting Jeremy Lin's swagger on the court against the Nets. It was amazing. Swoon.

The most inspiring thing about Lin is his armor-like faith. Whether you follow him on Facebook or Twitter, it is very clear that God is a huge part of this man's life. As he said,
"If you look back at my story, doesn't matter where you look, God's fingerprints are all over the place."  He loves Jesus more than basketball. Swoon. 

But, of course - he gets to train and play basketball with other amazing players like Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire, Tyson Chandler, Landry Fields, Steve Novak, etc. Yes, I know their names too. In your face!


I hope I get to see the Knicks play when I visit New York. Pretty please. I would love that.

My dad is an amazing cook.

Read Article →
Not that my mom can't cook because she absolutely can.
But, this entry is to highlight my dad's passion and love for cooking.
I'll highlight my mom's passion and love in another entry. Promise!

The kitchen is my dad's home. It is his favorite place in the house apart from his bed. Haha.
His specialty is Korean and Chinese food. I LOVE his food because it's delicious. He has a special gift.

I came home today and his mouthwatering 짬뽕 was sitting in one of our big pots.
All for me!! I feel guilty for eating so late, but it was well worth it. I want more.
The bamboo slices were the best part!

In a perfect world, my dad would be the head chef at his own restaurant and my mom would be the manager. Hehe.

I hope my dad lives a really long time. I really love him. He is the kindest, funniest and most thoughtful person I know.

The Help.

Read Article →

This month, I've been reading "The Help" every chance I get. I love it! I get most of my reading done during my lunch or right before I sleep. The other day, I had a panic attack because I thought I had dropped the book somewhere. Turns out, I had just left it on my desk at work. Whew! But, it's a good read.

The Bedford Post Inn.

Read Article →







There's a little inn located just outside the city in Bedford, New York.
It's called The Bedford Post Inn.
The inn is owned and run by Richard Gere and his wife, Carey Lowell.
I'm extremely tempted to extend my stay in New York for one more day, just to stay at this inn for one night. Here's the link about the inn for your reading pleasure.
So beautiful! I can't stop looking at the pictures.
Maybe I really do need to live in New York. It's so beautiful!!
