Classical music aficionado afflicted by wanderlust, hunger, and thirst (for wine).
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. This was just over 9 years ago and it is what took me on a journey of self-discovery. I believe it was around that time that I first started this blog--although all …
It's quiet outside. I want to write more and have a draft I'm working on. Nothing exciting, just a journaling plan for my little corner of the web. I don't know why, but I just wanted to write something quick and hit the publish button. It's past midnight and I should be sleeping, but instead …

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 …
Hello again! So I am rebooting after a 10-day break. I've managed to be relatively good in spite of the 4th of July weekend and have remained in the ball park of where I was before. I went on an impromptu break because I got a little bored with the daily posts and some other …
