Classical music aficionado afflicted by wanderlust, hunger, and thirst (for wine).
"The night is new, the faces are friendly. So have a few and let me play some new songs, some blue songs. The mood is always right every night at the Paradise Café. The world outside may make its own madness, but here we hide the world away. No headlines. No deadlines. We'll make them …
I used to read a ton in my teenage solitude, and lost my habit for a few years. Little by little I've been rekindling my love of reading and the passion for it has come roaring back during this pandemic. I had a lot of work today, so I will keep this very brief since …
The weather has been just perfect the last few days sunny and neither chilly nor warm. My favorite days are the gloomy rainy days, but I won't argue again a gorgeous sunny day in Southern California. We decided to venture out of Los Angeles for a short walk in Ventura just a bit north. Daisy …
I had a delightfully busy day! Yes, I am trying to only focus on the positive for this blog/journal as a way to really focus on the things I should be grateful for. I am blessed with a job I am really happy with and it is keeping me busy and challenged. In addition to …
I've never completed a 365 project, although I have made a few attempts. My first attempt was with photography, which I greatly enjoyed.

A few weeks ago I imagined a movies scene where I’m up early in the morning sipping some freshly brewed coffee while diligently writing about...whatever masterpiece it is I should be writing to get me a movie about me writing. Another alternative is me plugging away late into the quiet night while John Adams’ Harmonielehre …
It really is true that you don't appreciate things until they're gone. I know this will pass, but at this moment my memories seem like they belong to a different world. A foreign world. A world waiting for me to explore, taste, and photograph. I daydream about the time I went to Hong Kong and …
I've been meaning to take up writing here again, but I have not made a sincere effort to find the time to be honest. So I find myself now with an abundance of time and few things to do with this global pandemic keeping me indoors. I don't mean this to be my journal on …
I occasionally watch YouTube videos of life in Taiwan that my boyfriend shows me. I am especially interested when foreigners living in Taiwan discuss the local delicacies and fruits of the region. One such fruit I have been most curious about is the Custard Apple, seemingly delicious and something unbeknown to me. It seems silly …
