Yes, my friends know that when I enjoy a well-prepared meal, I [...]

1. Many Chinese Americans own dry cleaning services.
2. Many Asian Indians own liquor [...]

In my one my blog entries, I talked about the joys of taking a gratitude break through squirrel-watching. Shortly after I wrote the posting, I badgered Sanny Leviste of Visual Moment.com, a friend of many talents especially in environmentally-sustainable advocacies, to find the photos that I had requested him to take of a squirrel. He [...]

9-11 in New York was rainy and damp — yet the fashionistas had a field day! A Filipina designer, Monique Lhuillier, showed off her Spring Collection at Bryant Park on Fifth Avenue. Her parents, especially my role model (with a warm, welcoming personality and down-to-earth aura to complement her business ventures and philanthropic advocacies) Amparito [...]
