Foodnotes and Fieldnotes since 2010
It's nice to be writing online again. In fact, this blog is actually more than five years old already. I used to have my own "official" website in two versions - a .com and a .net - but things got weird, and I lost both domains. So I just took it as a sign to subscribe [...]
Alone Time Sometimes, I write like this. About my day. Like Waking up to an empty apartment. Making a cup of coffee. And then Deciding I want hot chocolate instead. I love the apartment. The whiteness of the walls, the creaminess of the couch. The location. The cozy. It is home. But not so much [...]
My new home:
We’ve heard the songs. We’ve read the poems. We’ve seen the posters. But when we say that we believe the children are the future, what exactly are we doing about it? What steps are we taking to make this belief an actual reality? Needless to say, the role of education is very important in shaping [...]
Today, I talk about Bucket Listing and Growing Up. I have been meaning to compile and write down 30 things that I want to accomplish before I reach the full, ripe age of 30. I admit, I have been a lazy-ass, but my cousin Tricia made me realize that I should quit stalling and start [...]

Two years he walks the earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. Escaped from Atlanta. Thou shalt not return, 'cause "the West is the best." And now after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to [...]
I remember ending 2010 with mediocre hopes and a “whatever happens, happens” mindset. Not to say that 2010 was trivial; it was a fun balance between being a student for the last time, and entering the workforce. 2010 was a half-baked year, bidding farewell to the sheltered environments we grew comfortable with, and jumped head-on [...]
It’s Christmas tomorrow, and I still have so many presents to wrap, cookies to bake, and letters to write. I also realized that it’s been quite a while since I wrote about something from the heart. The past weeks prior to today were such a blur, especially in the industry I work for. And because [...]
