So I bought a Moleskine notebook around two years ago. It was a bit overpriced for a small notebook, but perhaps its true value is much more than the value of the money I used to pay for it. In it, I have divulged my inner confusions, and have attempted to unravel the knots in [...]
2008 has been quite a year, and to be honest, I am quite glad it is over. I began the year with a bright outlook and spent the first half with the good company of APATH. My summer continued from the momentum gained from the spring semester, and I found it to be one of [...]
“I do not care what car you drive where you live, if you know someone who knows someone who knows someone. If your clothes are this years cutting edge. If your trust fund is unlimited. If you are A-list B-list or never heard of you list. I only care about the words that flutter from [...]
Hopefully I’ll be able to say that I’ve accomplished something. But what exactly did I do? I guess APATH has taken up most of my time, from volunteering at the Berkeley Marina and uprooting weeds and trash for the Berkeley Project, to leading the Celebration of Asian American Women, I didn’t really try to branch [...]
2007 has been an eventful and very enlightening year. Of my resolutions, I was successful in fulfilling all but two.
For 2007, I resolve to:
Live by Benjamin Franklin’s 13 Virtues.
Sleep before 12:30am, and wake before 9:00am.
Run 1 mile daily, and 12 down daily (eventually reach 15 down).
Continue fulfilling my resolutions from 2007.
Finish Fantasie and [...]
College has proven to be quite a catalyst for creating and nurturing unwanted habits. Ever since college started, I have paradoxically grown more lazy and more motivated at the same time (don’t ask how). Among the habits are:
Sleeping regularly
Eating regularly
Exercising regularly
It seems that the more basic the need is the less regularly I [...]
In our efforts to remain ahead of the crowd, Layne, Kevin, and I left for Fry’s at midnight. Our journey would be a treacherous one, filled with unbearably cold temperatures and the dreaded five hour wait. Our hearts dropped as we arrived. A line had already formed its way around the [...]
We set out for SF around noon, and took the F-line from Berkeley. The trip took over an hour, but was still perhaps better than taking the bart. After arriving, we had to find our way to get to Embarcadero, which pretty much involved heading North. Among the places we planned to visit were the [...]
So far, classes have been okay, despite a chronic lack of sleep (I have 8am classes Monday through Friday). They have been okay because, remarkably, I’m really enjoying what I’ve learned so far. In previous semesters, I was perhaps too busy to really enjoy learning. I put myself through an endless barrage [...]

Here are some photos taken with my Canon SD750 from my dorm room window. I liked the lighting at that particular time of the day, so I thought I’d share it. These two were both edited to enhance the tonal ranges, since the original exposures were a bit dark. The enhanced photos are actually closer [...]
This was shot somewhere around my neighborhood at around sunset. The original picture was horribly underexposed, however, thanks to the magic of photoshop and a few other photo editing tools, I was able to fix it up to what you see below. I could have raised the highlights and shadows a bit more, but I [...]
Though I’ve spent nearly a year at Berkeley now, I feel that I have not done the campus justice in allowing myself to explore it. So, recently I’ve been roaming around the outer fringes of the campus, exploring new buildings (such as the East Asian Library), and dining throughout the diverse palette of food that [...]
