365: Day 358 – I miss the Cathedral organ
I’ve been longing for in-person classical performances for over a year now, and the three venues I always mention are the Walt Disney Concert Hall (LA Phil), Hollywood Bowl (LA Phil), and Dorothy Chandler Pavilion (LA Opera). However, today I’d like to mention a fourth that I tend to forget about: the Cathedral of Our… — read more

365: Day 357 – Hard-boild Mackerel
We were back at my favorite Korean restaurant, the one with the Korean ladies prepping veggies at a corner table. During a previous dinner at this restaurant, we meant to order a broiled fish and accidentally ordered this boiled one. We were surprised when this dish, clearly not a broiled fish, was brought out. One of the Korean ladies… — read more

365: Day 356 – Daydreams
Daydreaming sometimes gets a bad wrap because it can be associated with being unproductive, inattentive, bored, or plaining just not having anything better to do. It’s a shame because I think it can be as important (or perhaps even more) than dreaming in our sleep. It is pretty remarkable that we can create imaginary stories… — read more

365: Day 355 – Spring is beautiful
I used to only like winter because of all the exciting weather that happens that time of year. Keep in mind that I’m in California, so our winters are mild enough to be enjoyable. Now that I’m getting older, I find myself enjoying the rest of the seasons more and more. I am thoroughly enjoying… — read more

365: Day 354
I’ve been perusing travel blogs partly to satiate my desire to travel and partly to learn about what makes the good ones great. Many are just a lot of photos or videos sprinkled with brief descriptions and descriptions of the emotions these places evoke. My tendency with these is to look at the pictures and… — read more

365: Day 353 – Tech temptation
I have been wasting a lot of time lately looking at computers and accessories. I look at the MacBook Airs and try to convince myself that it’s just what I will need once I start traveling again and that it will be the key to becoming a travel blogger. I talk myself out of it… — read more

365: Day 352 – Digging through photos
In an attempt to find inspiration for this post, I started to look through my photos and spent about an hour scrolling through my photos. I have so many! In the end, I did not choose any for today, but instead I’m brainstorming some ideas on how to make a few posts about these photos.… — read more

365: Day 351 – I made Pozole
I was unable to catch up on my posts yesterday, so I continue to be one day behind. However, I had an excellent reason why I had little time to sit down and write two posts: I made Pozole! I have heard it said that in order to truly appreciate what you have at home,… — read more

365: Day 350 – Tired day
I’m posting this a day late. I waited until late at night and by that point, I was far too tired to keep my eyes open in front of a screen. I was tired from going to a couple of farms and a local farmers’ market to get fresh vegetables. After taking care of all… — read more

365: Day 349 – Picard
After my nephew got me interested in watching Star Trek Voyager, I became hooked to everything Star Trek. After a long time, I have finally watched every series and every movie up until Picard. I loved Captain Janeway from the Voyager series, but Captain Picard replaced her as my favorite Star Trek character after watching… — read more
