Toward the mountains
One of the reasons winter is my favorite season is that the skies are always much more dramatic and beautiful.

Even though it’s dangerous, I thought of how beautiful it… — read more

A restaurant I meant to try
Well, I ended my daily streak yesterday. 😦 I’ve continued writing at a late hour and last night I fell asleep trying to type. I spend a lot of hours on the computer for work, so when it comes time to writing these I lie on my stomach and type away. I know it’s a… — read more

Chinese New Year
I eat a lot of Asian food, so we didn’t choose this restaurant specifically to celebrate the new lunar year, but it was fitting.

Preserving memories
It’s far too late into the night, but the silence and tranquility proved irresistible for indulging in some reveries of stories my dad would tell me. I treasure this stories and tried remembering as many as I could and jotted down some prompts about each one, so that later I can use that prompt to… — read more
