“It is a wise father that knows his own child.” — William Shakespeare In my family, we take great pleasure in preparing home-cooked meals for each other during most celebratory occasions. Sure, it’s wonderful to treat the celebrant(s) to a fine restaurant meal, but it’s just as nice (if not more thoughtful) to take the time [...]

“Bad lazy blogger! Go to the corner!” (Schrödinger’s cat can act, eh?)
Oh, relax PETA boy… No Animals Were Harmed in the Making of This Entry. Feline antics, fiction. Fat kitty and stubby disfigured finger, real. Sooo, the last time I blogged… 13 days ago. Bad, bad me. (I checked my pulse. I am neither [...]
When a new Asian supermarket recently opened on May 24 near my ‘hood, you can betcha my sister and I were stoked to check it out. I admit it… I get really excited over exploring new restaurants, cafés, bakeries, grocery stores, etc. to soothe my craving for new foodie experiences. Tingly fresh. No, foodie nirvana [...]
Once mature, a person prefers substance to appearance, fruit to flowers.
– Laozi aka “Lao Tzu” [ White Cosmos with yellow centre, above ]
I had a choice between tackling a heaping pile of meme tags OR writing a film review of Curse of the Golden Flower, but instead… I went outside and snapped photos of purty [...]
Yessir, that’s actor Ewan McGregor holding a big sign boldly proclaiming, “Summer is Fruity and Oaty!” Recently, Sir JJ left a comment: I dreamt about you just this night. In my dream Ewan McGregor was holding a humongous dummy board (or whatever you call it) telling me to say, “Summer is Fruity and Oaty!” I [...]
After a pseudo 2-week blog hiatus (well, I did moderate comments in the queue every day), one very strange entry after The Absence and another 5 days of being unplugged after that last entry, my blog would’ve looked like a ghost town without all your lovely comments and repeat hits from several regulars dropping by. [...]

Hello, I’m back. I’m falling off the posting and returning comments regimen again. I’m accumulating a pile of unbaked thoughts that can’t seem to get out of the oven, so I’ll be finishing ‘em up before I attempt anything new. Crapalooza, I keep seeing the same faces pop up on MyBlogLog every day and maybe, [...]
EDIT Apr. 30, 2007 7:11 PM: I just read Ed Lau’s post today about SEO expert John Chow’s allegations that the One Day Blog Silence event today was just an effective but unethical linkbaiting operation. While I do believe in “innocent until proven guilty”, I have to say that a huge part of me had [...]
I wanted to celebrate reaching 1000+ comments on my blog. Today, the 1000th comment was hollered by Zerovoltage! Congratulations, dude! I’d like to thank every person (stinking spammers excluded!) who has ever taken the time to holler back… by listing the name of each hollerer (and link, if available). My friend Jude would argue [...]

Whoohoo, the NBC drama series Heroes returns… tonight! Hooray! It’s a ticking countdown to 0.7%, the title of the 19th episode. If you’re a big fan of the show, check out the above YouTube video (1 min. 45 sec.). It’s a hilarious parody of Heroes featuring Zeroes. Zeroes are ordinary people with relatively pointless, ordinary [...]
During the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival, I saw Gerard Butler (King Leonidas in the film 300) just a few feet away from me at the World Premiere red carpet of Beowulf & Grendel, a 2005 movie adaptation of the Old English epic poem Beowulf. B & G was directed by Sturla Gunnarsson and stars [...]
Who knew that the film 300 could temporarily snap me out of my blogging funk and inspire a series of at least 4 entries thinly related to 300? Entries whose topics can somehow be linked to Kevin Bacon through a game of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon? Now, if you thought you’d be reading another [...]
Did you guys have a good Easter yesterday? To my non-Christian brothers and sisters, I wish you Peace, Namaste, As-Salamu Alaykum, etc. Easter is about forgiveness, redemption and renewal, so Christian or not… many of us need that in our everyday lives (of loud or quiet desperation). Over the years, my family’s Easter meals have [...]
