Should I or shouldn't I?
Yesterday I was on the subway downtown. I had my headphones in and I was working on a crossword when I noticed this guy, standing diagonally across from me checking me out. He looked to be in his mid thirties, glasses, cute in an older gentleman sort of way.
I think nothing of it, but then he when a seat clears up in front of me he moves to sit down. I look up and he’s looking at me. I look...

19 Hours of Tom Lenk, and it’s all thanks to Twitter.
There was this huge campaign to get Tom to come to Toronto to perform his one man show. My friend Rachel caught wind of it and we got tickets. Two days before he’s set to arrive, I’m working on a photo shoot and while I’m waiting for some makeup touch ups, I decide to check my phone. I go into Twitter and I find a tweet...

She did not know or care where headed or what might happen when they arrived. Speeding towards the unforeseeable, sitting next to him who was darker than the darkness they split, Consolata let the feathers unfold and come unstruck from the walls of a stone-cold womb. Out here where wind was not a help or threat to sunflowers, nor the moon a language of time, of weather, of sowing or...

These two friends I met at American Eagle Outfitters, one of my longest jobs ever so far. Betti and Mona are sort of like Romy and Michelle. They both understand each other in ways that no one else will ever be able to. They have weird inside jokes, laugh at the same silly things and sometimes I mistake them for lesbians (they would make great lesbians).
Come to think of it, they’re...

Once a year, or, at least we try to—my friend Amrita and I go down to Nuit Blanche, an all night festival of arts that takes place all over downtown Toronto. People have exhibitions everywhere—alleyways, abandoned subway stations, stairwells, parks, street corners, parking lots, you get the picture.
So the two of us hunker downtown, bundled up warmly for the night and we set out to...

In the next few days I’m going to upload a few photos that are special to me. They highlight the important people in my life, the fantastic moments I’ve had and some fun adventures that I will always remember. Feeling nostalgic these days and I guess I’m in a reflective mood. So I hope you enjoy my trip down Memory Lane.
“Love” by my friend Amrita. Taken on...

Follow the sound of the drums.
Went out to the beach with some friend’s today. It was super sunny and windy, but then clouds rolled in and blocked the sun from us. We went to another beach and heard the sound of drums. Came across a group of people around a bonfire on this little piece of outstretched land, right on the water surrounded by trees and rocks. They were playing the drums with their hands, dancing, singing,...

I forgot about how much I love Grey's Anatomy.
I’ve been watching season 4 and 5 online over the past few weeks, and in the last few days I’ve cried at least 4 times. And it’s never over the actual cast members, but the patients and the guest stars. They have some tremendously talented guest stars on that show.

Yeah, thanks. I’m going to be thinking about it all day now.

No, I am not Korean.
At some point, I’ll get there. I will one day be totally cool with the whole “race” thing. The anger will subside, and I will learn to love. It’s not that I have problems with my own ethnicity. Rather, it’s that I have problems with the way my ethnicity is used as a way into me.
I sometimes wonder if I’m being overtly picky by refusing to give rice queens a...
