Five things you didn’t know about me

Cameron has tagged me for the “five things you don’t know about me” meme. Who am I to say no?
Writing this list was surprisingly difficult - there’s been a lot of trivial stuff about my life I’ve already blogged about over the past five years but have since gone off-line. And while 90% […]


best t-shirt ever

I know this seems a little shameless and camgirl-like, but a special thank you for everyone who was nice enough to buy something off my Amazon Wishlist: Joz, Drew, Jess & Marc, and Patrick.

It should also be mentioned that Jason gave me this AWESOME shirt, which says “Chinese is not my mother tongue.” […]


an open letter to the city of fremont, ca

Dear Fremont, CA:
Though a series of circumstances, most of them directly out of my control, I have been living in your fair city, on and off, for the past two or three years or so. Therefore, I think I have a right to make any judgments and opinions about you. And that assessment […]

i am the gayest geek geekiest gay ever

I mentioned previously that growing up in lieu of any video games I would write computer programs in BASIC. Any memory I tried to repress has suddenly been brought back to the surface when my mom dropped off a book for me when she was going through some boxes with some of my childhood […]


why i hate my name. again.

(The scene: Chaat Cafe, last night. I’m at the counter with my boyfriend, ordering dinner. This time, instead of italics being in Chinese like in previous posts, italics signify a heavy, heavy Indian accent.)
Ernie: Hi, one chicken pesto stuffed naan and a chicken tikka dinner please, to go.
Woman at the counter: […]

the seagull story

A couple of weeks ago, I was having a dinner with some co-workers and I made a reference to the place I grew up: El Cerrito, California.

Co-worker: El Cerrito? As in, El Cerrito High?
Ernie: Yeah. Class of 1994.
Co-worker: Whoa! Class of 1996! I don’t think we knew […]

Black Friday No More

So yeah, this will be my first Valentines day not being single. Ever.
As someone who had previously been single for seven years until a couple of months ago, I had adopted a strict Anti-Valentines Day philosphy. Two years ago, Min Jung and I declared it Black Wednesday and we walked around porno shops […]


The Thing About Dating, Part 2

(Hmmm. Let’s see how much I can write about him without actually writing about him.)
He’s been insisting on paying for every single dinner we’ve gone out for. All of them. Even when I insist on paying for it, he talks the waitress into giving back my credit card and replacing it with […]


The Thing About Dating, Part 1

So, I’ve been dating someone for maybe a month or two by now. It’s weird.
It’s weird, because the last guy I had anything close to a romantic relationship with was when I was nineteen, and I’m currently 26. For all purposes, he was my boyfriend, and that was that, and we were automatically […]
