In those jeans…
Occasionally, a few friends/people I know will ask me for some suggestions on what kinds of tops they should buy. My first response is, “what’s the wash and style of the jeans?” Before I step out, I obsess over whether my jeans match. And if I’m out and they’re NOT matching to my liking, all [...]

“ASK A DJ” mini-series pt 2 with Dj Mark Maiden!
Introducing the second edition of “ASK A DJ.” In my on-going mini-series, “ASK A DJ,” I ask a dj I know a pre-set list of questions that I created about the pleasure, labor, and trials and tribulations of djing/party-rockin.’ Since part 1 was such a hit, I couldn’t tease you anymore… so here is PART [...]

Addicted to Calories
(Hometown Buffet: The natural evolution of human brain capacity?)
Bean and I have struggled to stay fit. In attempts to minimize our caloric in-take (eating) in order to off-set the minimization of calorie-burning in our lives (also known as exercise), our bodies have protested. Case in point, after eating fruits, leafy greens and vegetables, and grilled [...]

Smells like Teen Spirit
What smells as good as 16 year olds in rice rockets?
Me.
A friend, S, gave me a much belated birfday gift: a set of Polo Sport cologne and matching arm-pit potpourri, also known as Polo Sport cologne deodorant. My close friends — all Chinese — back in high school used to have matching cologne (either that [...]

Michael Jackson in love…

There are tons of Michael Jackson tribute mixes online and here is mine, finally.
CONTEXT: I’ve had a couple convos with some friends and colleagues about what are our favorite Michael Jackson songs and most of them told me they didn’t care as much about the ballads since they didn’t really show [...]

BRB
In the words of Aliya S. King, the author of a blog I frequent for all sort of writing tips as of late, “life happens.” And when it does, blogging seems to be put on hold.

Melancholy
All these deaths lately — particulary MJ’s — put me in a gloomy mood. And after going through his catalog of slow jams, I found myself in a crooning mood as I tried my best vocal-moonwalk attempt at imitating MJ. In a sing-songy kind of mood, I dug up this “old” [...]
