Another week has passed and I'm slowly making progress on my apartment. I actually hung some photos, placed others, and started the organization of the walk in closet. It rained off and on this weekend which helped with getting things done. Besides working on the pad, I squeezed in two movies: The Muppets & 50/50. I was pleasantly surprised by both flicks especially the Muppets. Watching the muppets made me think of my youth and how I was so jealous that "BJ" had a Miss Piggy Puppet. I had always wanted one. "BJ" was nice enough to let Miss Piggy have a sleepover at my place. I'm sure my constant nagging had nothing to do with it. In return, I managed to destroy poor Miss Piggy's hair returning it in a frizzy state. Needless to say, I don't think "BJ" let me borrow anything else after that.
On Sunday I met up with someone that I went to high school with so many years ago. It was great being able to catch up after all these years. We had lunch at Sakaya Kitchen at the midtown mall. The food wasn't bad. It was Asian fusion (Korean, Japanese, Chinese). They had kimchi eggrolls which were absolutely delicious. At least I know these somewhere close by to get my Korean fix. I still need to find a more authentic place.
Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.

Here's a midweek post about some things that I've observed this past month living in Miami. Miami definitely has SF beat as a dog city. Cats roam wild throughout the streets. A film crew has been in my neighborhood twice. I just might get discovered after all. Pigeons beware! I've witnessed a homeless man grab a pigeon and walk off. Hopefully, he didn't eat it. It's definitely a HOT area and I'm not talking about the weather. People are generally friendly. Shopping at the grocery is like being in a bumper car. It's always blue skies & sunshine.

I've been so wrapped up in my unpacking (yes, my stuff actually arrived) that I almost forget to do my weekly blog update. This will probably be a quick one since I can hear my bed calling me.
Work is going really well. I'm so happy to be back in the creative world. It's amazing how the day goes by so fast when you actually enjoy what you are doing. Looking back at my old job, I'm not sure how I managed to last there as long as I did. The Experience Bermuda book that I did some layouts for came in this week. It looks good. It's so nice having my work in print again. Right now I'm in the middle of working on both the English & Spanish editions of Baptist Health's magazines. I love having different projects to work on.
As I mentioned above, my stuff arrived on Thursday. I was bit stressed because Wednesday night I got a text from the driver which said, "The address is Miami??". I immediately thought that he was somewhere else besides Miami and didn't sleep at all that night. My sister showed up around 9 a.m. and we sat on my balcony until the truck arrived. The move went off without a hitch and my sister helped me do some unpacking before she had to go. I ended up getting a lot done on Thursday.
My sister brought my nephew over on Saturday so he could see my apartment since he wasn't able to come last weekend. We went to Target (surprise, surprise) so I could get a few more things for my place. It seems like I've been dropping a lot of money there lately. Oh, the price you pay for moving into a much larger apartment then before. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE my place. I do! Even though it will probably bankrupt me.
I spent most of today unpacking and decorating. All of the boxes have been opened and emptied. Now it's a matter of taking care of all the little things that are now scattered all over my floor. Hopefully, I'll take care of that throughout the week and then the next big thing will be to organize my giant walk in closet which is now filled with the stuff I don't want to deal with. : )
I'm on the look out for either of big cushy chair or chaise lounge for my office. If anyone has any ideas of stores to check out online let me know. Just where will I end up next is anyone's guess.

It's another beautiful day in Miami—blue skies & sunshine! This morning I ventured out to Panther Coffee in the Wynwood Art District. It's a bit of hike but differently worth it. I have a feeling this will be my Sunday morning routine. It's always great to find a local coffee establishment to support. There is so much art to see in Wynwood which has me excited.
Last night I went with some friends to the Wynwood Art Walk which happens every second Saturday of the month. It's such a great feeling to be a city where art thrives. We stopped in a few galleries, hit the food truck area and then ended up at Cafeina for cocktail. Before heading home we got a night cap and some nibbles at Boteco.
Earlier in the day my sister and nieces came over to celebrate my birthday. We headed to the Target in midtown where I picked up some patio furniture. Yay! I actually have somewhere to sit now that isn't the floor. We had lunch at Mario the Baker, took a walk to the bay, and then came back to my apartment. My sister and I attempted to hang some curtains but it was bust because the tension rod wasn't working out to well. We returned to target where I exchanged the tension rod for a sturdier rod. My sister baked me some birthday cupcakes—vanilla with orange icing. Yum! I got lots of goodies from my sister & nieces. It was a great first birthday in my new pad.
I had my first experience riding the bus this week. The public transportation is nothing like SF but at least I know I can get somewhere far if I need to. It also looks like my stuff will finally be arriving this week. Double Yay! I'm so ready to get my apartment in order.

I'm back bitches! It's been a long time since my last post and I thought it was about time that I got back to my little old blog. A lot has happened over the past three months. I was offered a job at HCP Aboard, a custom publishing company of the Miami Herald, and decided I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get back into what I love doing–graphic design. It was definitely bitter sweet saying goodbye to San Francisco, a place I called home since 1998 and leaving all my friends but I simply couldn't pass up this opportunity.
I left SF in early February and moved in with my sister while I searched for an apartment in Miami. I'm so thankfully that I had family in the area. It definitely made the transition a lot easier but it nice to be able to spend some quality time with my sister and her family. I stayed with my sister for about two months taking over my niece's purple room. Needless to say, she was quite happy to get her room back.
I moved into my new fabulous loft apartment on April 1. My stuff won't be arriving until April 19 so in the meantime it's just me, a bed, some clothes, my computer, and an air mattress which is posing as my temporary sofa. I'm looking forward for my things to arrive so I can get to decorating this place. This the first time in my life that I have an apartment that I absolutely love. There's a Publix, Target, a Starbucks, and lots of restaurants while walking distance from my apartment. What more could I need!
I've adjusted quite well to my new life. It is really beautiful here. I'm in walking distance to the bay and literally a bus ride from the beach. Things are going to be good! Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.

Last night had to be one the best unexpected New Year's I've had in a long while. There's nothing like ringing in the new year with friends. Originally, I hadn't planned on doing anything that night but things just sort of fell into place.
I spent the earlier part of the day with d&j. We went to Target in search of a Christmas tree but with no luck. So instead, I bought some non-Christmas essentials. Afterward the three of us went to grab a bite to eat in Noe Valley. Then we finally had our Christmas together. Having a late Christmas is always nice. I scored some sweet gifts from the boys.
That night I had dinner with kiki & her #1 gal. I always enjoy going there for dinner. They have a way of making you feel very welcomed. After dinner we were joined by d&j as well as r&d for a round of cocktails. Around 11:40 we headed to Dolores Park to watch the fireworks. This was actually the first time I've ever watched the fireworks in SF for NYE. We had an amazing view of the them. Watching the fireworks with the city in the foreground was simply breathtaking.
There were quite a bit of people out in the park celebrating. Two guys decided to get naked and run across the park once midnight struck. How typical for SF. There was also a guy behind us you kept saying, "Holy shit, it's 2012", which has now become the official motto of 2012.
I hope everyone else had a great new year's as well. Just where will I be next is any one's guess. Happy New Year's!

And just like that Christmas is over. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I know I did. As I've mentioned before, this was my first Christmas in SF. I was a little nervous about staying here. I thought that being alone this holiday would make me miss my family all the more. Luckily, some friends were still going to be in town and I was able to celebrate with them.
My holiday started off with a lovely Christmas Eve dinner with Butterbean & Jill. We feasted on cheese, meats, nuts, crab, ham, and cookies. We drank bubble stuff. We played scrabble. Christmas presents were exchanged. And we finished our evening watching Bitch Pudding on youtube. The evening couldn't have been more perfect.
Christmas morning like all other mornings, I awoke early. I immediately headed into the kitchen to start throwing the ingredients in the crock pot to make split pea soup. I wanted it to cook most of the day. Once that was going, I called my pops to wish him a merry Christmas. We chatted for a bit. He seemed in good spirits which was nice to hear since I'm never sure how he's going to be during the holidays. He loved the stuff that Zoe & I had sent which was an added bonus.
This was definitely a year of firsts. Instead of just talking to my sister on the phone, we had our first Skype Christmas together. My nieces and nephew opened their presents from me while I watched through the computer. Then my sister and I opened our gifts. It's not the same as being physically together but it's a great alternative. I snapped a picture of my sister's family to capture the moment. :)
The rest of my Christmas day was spent relaxing, eating, & watching TV. My split pea soup turned out to be simply delicious. I ate two bowels, stored some in the fridge, and froze the rest. My evening came to an end with me watching The Sound of Music. I still love that movie. So now I've officially created my own Christmas traditions. I can't wait until next year. Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.
my Christmas loot
1. money
2. gift card
3. steamer
4. frother
5. Jonathan Adler design book
6. sleep pants
7. Jersey Boy tee
8. Robin figure
9. Samuri action figure (gift to myself)
10. Gypsy Witch fortune telling cards
11. and lots of stocking goodies
What did you get?

Ah, Christmas Eve is upon us. This will be my first Christmas that I spend in San Francisco. Usually, I go home this time of year but since I went home for Thanksgiving I decided to stay put. I think that's part of the reason why I've been filled with "Christmas Spirit" this year. I'm looking forward to starting new traditions. I'm having some friends over tonight for Christmas Eve dinner then will most likely spend my Christmas morning on Skype with my sister opening presents. You've got to love technology.
This time of year is always hard. I've been thinking about my mom a lot lately and all the Christmases we spent together as a family. She always had the house decorated for the holiday making it feel like a magically place. Christmas definitely hasn't been the same without her. However, I'm truly thankful for the memories of Christmases past and for the all people I have in my life. I hope that everyone has a wonderful & magical holiday.

Wow! There's only three days left until Christmas and I haven't even blogged about my Thanksgiving trip yet. I'm going to do my best to catch up so that I can begin 2012 on track with my blogging. Hopefully, it'll be more eventful than 2011. Perhaps it's time for me to create my own fun. Anyway...on with the blog.
I spent my Thanksgiving break in South Florida, Orlando, & Atlanta. All around it was a great trip. I got to spend time with both family and friends. What more could one ask for. My trip started off in South Florida where I spent a few days with my sister and her family before I drove up to Orlando. HP that me crash at her pad while I was in town. She's always a great host. The day I arrived HP & I went to Hurricane's to have lunch with some old high peeps. It was great to be able to catch up with them while drinking some ice cold beer.
That night, HP, Kat, & I drove to New Smyrna Beach for an evening of F.U.N with Jill T. It was a night of drinking & dancing our way through the town. In the morning we went to Toni & Joe's for breakfast where Farrah became an instant hit. She's always the talk of town. Later that day, HP & I met Jill G. for lunch and hung out a bit.
On Monday, I met up with my sister's family for a day at Disney. It's been a long time since I was at the Magic Kingdom. It was day filled with long lines and fun rides. I almost forgot how exhausting a day at Disney is.
On Tuesday, we packed up the car and headed to Atlanta for Thanksgiving. The drive was pretty uneventful until we hit traffic and rain outside of Atlanta. We spent the rest of week at my aunt's house for the holiday. The days were filled with family, friends, food, and lots of drink. I can't think of a better way to spend the holiday.
We headed back to South Florida early Saturday morning. The following Sunday my sister and I took the little ones to Hollywood Beach. It was gorgeous day. There's nothing like having lunch and beers while looking at the ocean. My sister and I spent Monday and part of Tuesday doing marathon Christmas shopping. We basically knocked out all the gifts for the little ones. We are so good! My flight back to SF left Tuesday night which ended up getting delayed due to the heavy fog in SF. Go figure!
That pretty much wraps up my Thanksgiving Holiday. I hope every one had as good of a holiday as I did.

It's beginning to get cold out and I like it. I feel so invigorated when it's cold. Not really sure why but I do. It might have something to do with the air being so crisp. Or perhaps I'm just glad to bust out my winter coat again. I feel like I blinked and fall was gone. It didn't seem like we had much of a fall this year. One day I was wearing shorts and the next thermal underwear. The longer I'm in SF, the more I miss fall in New England. There's something about seeing the leaves change color that brightens up my day. While walking around Stowe Lake the other day I noticed that most of the leaves had already changed. They were a golden yellow. The reflection of the yellow leaves off of the lake was breathe taking. I'm so glad that the park is so close to my house. Being in nature is quite nice at times.
It's the 7th of November already. I leave for vacation in nine days. I'm so excited. It'll definitely be nice to get away from work for a while. I'm very thankful to be working but that place is bringing me down. Hopefully a bit of a break is what I need. I'm really looking forward to reconnecting with some old friends as well as spending Thanksgiving with family.
For the most part, my Halloween was quite uneventful. It basically consisted of a school party. The students seemed to enjoy themselves and I did manage to throw together a costume at the near last minute. Last Diaso! You're a life savor.
Some things I learned this past month:
1. red velvet cake ice cream is awesome!
2. I didn't lose my creativity, it was just dormant
3. Han Il Kwan is still one of my favorite spots
4. photographing dolls is hard
5. last minute dinner with a friend rocks
6. eating chocolate covered pretzel pieces at 2 am can't be good
7. sleeping is my enemy
8. Whatever comics in the Castro is the place to buy comics
9. I think I have a juice addiction
10. foot massages should be done regularly
Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.

Huegel came into the city on Friday night and we spent the evening drinking with Kiki. We started out at the Pilsner and finished the evening at Lucky 13. I've never laughed so much in my life. Those two definitely bring on the giggles. After we parted ways with Kiki, Huegel and I headed back to my hood where we made our ritual stop at the donut shop. For reason donuts always taste so good at 1 AM. Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.

I was going through my blog the other night and noticed that I had a lot of drafts from 2005-2007 that I never posted. Some of them are simply ideas for stories or poems which I'll post on my other site shot&scrawled while the others are from when I was in Korea and obviously forgot about them. So I figured it might be nice to rewind the clock and go back in time. This first post was a journal entry from Chelsea who was one of my very bright students. Enjoy!

Today I went to an Animal Camp. But, it was Not! Very happy. Because I have to do something smelly and dirty. That dirty thing was pick up Elephant's dung and take it to the lion's garden. And next morning I saw lion was bathing the Elephant's pop. When it was over I saw a summer Slplash Parade. And i buy white tiger doll. And came back home.
Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.

Well, my three day weekend is coming to an end. It rained all day today but at least Saturday and Sunday were quite nice. I spent most of Saturday strolling through Golden Gate Park with the boys. It was a lovely day to be out and about. We had lunch at Marnee in the Sunset which was quite good. I even managed to work on my photo project. Hopefully, I'll be posting some of the images soon.
Today, I spent my rainy day working on my portfolio. It's definitely a chore going through one's work over the past ten years. It brought back a lot of memories of my time at the magazine. I selected quite a bit and now I need to edit it down some. Earlier in the day I went to Relax Feet to get a foot massage. My feet have never felt so good. It looks as if this might become a monthly treat for me. I'm going to leave you with a picture I took of D on Saturday. Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.

Hello all! It's been quite some time since my last post. Seeing that I'm finally getting around to making a post, I decided to make some changes to the template: out with the pink, in with the blue. A lot has happened since my last post so this one's going to be a cliff note version of what I've been up to. Without further ado...Here's how I spent my summer [in no particular order]:
1. Busy at work with all of our summer holiday groups. Lots of high school students this year from France, Vietnam, Spain, & China. It was the longest two months ever!
2. Raised money & participated in the SF AIDS Walk
3. Went to Lawrence Hall of Science with Huegel & the boys [see photos here] as well as the Japanese Festival in Concord with the entire Huegel-Brockway clan
4. Hiked Ano Nuevo State Park with John & Derek [see photos here]
5. Attended some birthday parties, pride parties, & going away parties
6. Had dinner on various occasions with Kiki, who is a fabulous cook
7. Took a rode trip with Misty to Portland [see photos here]
8. Sang a bit of karaoke with co-workers celebrating the end of the holiday groups
9. Almost appeared in a music video but backed out
10. Purchased a new Mac which I absolutely love
11. Started exercising again
12. Discovered a new coffee spot, Trouble, on Judah near Ocean Beach
13. Began working on a new photo project [more details later]
14. In the process of finishing scanning all of my old photo albums [only 8 pages left]
15. Hanging out with friends
That's all I can remember for now. I'm sure a few things have been left out. If anything comes to mind I'll be sure to post about it.
As for this weekend, it was quite busy. I met up with John & Derek on Friday. We hit a few bars in the Castro: Twins Peaks, 440, & the old standby The Pilsner. I ventured back to the Castro on Saturday to meet the boys for brunch where I got flirted with. Although at the time I didn't realize it. I can be somewhat oblivious at times. After brunch we headed to the de Young to check out the exhibit Picasso: Masterpieces from the Musée National Picasso.
My favorite piece was actually not part of the exhibit but a print that was on a mini-journal they were selling in the gift shop. It's called Enfant Jouant.
Today, I went to the Legion of Honor to check out the Dutch & Flemish Masterworks exhibit. It was the final day and the museum was pack. One of my favorite works was The Temptation of Saint Anthony by David Teniers the Younger. I was hoping they would have a postcard of it in the gift shop but no such luck. Another impressive work was Aelbert Cuyp's Orpheus Charming the Animals.
Also at the Legion of Honer was The Mourners: Tomb Sculptures from the Court of Burgundy. The sculptures were pretty amazing to look at.
Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.
