A couple of weeks ago, I attended Astra Lumina, a temporary light exhibition in Los Angeles. I'd first seen the ads for it on Instagram, and I was keen to go. That said, I bought the $38 USD ticket and, along with my sister and partner, we headed out for the first slot of the …

Hello! Happy New Year. 🙂 2023 is off to a good start, and as we usher in another year of change and growth, I'd also like to reflect on what had occurred in the past 12 months. Overall, 2022 was a more-eventful year for me compared to 2021 (which had been sleepier in comparison), with …
Source: Wikipedia. A month back, I came across one post of Barron from 10nineteen on a review of the 2009 Chinese live-action version of Mulan. Considering that I am of Chinese descent, grew up watching (and loving) the 1998 Disney version of the famed tale, and had a horrible experience with watching the 2020 Disney …

Source: YouTube. Two weekends ago, I decided to start (another!) Hulu free trial. Why did I decide to do that? Mainly, it was because I wanted to watch Happiest Season. I'd seen the trailer and film reviews of it already, and I was especially keen to give it a go. Besides the fact that it's …
Source: NBC News Just a couple of weeks ago, I FINALLY found the time and patience to sit down and watch the recent Netflix series Emily in Paris. It'd been over a month overdue since the crazy hype of its premiere, and for me having lived in France (and visited Paris countless of times), I …
My experience with using dating apps has been short (barely two years, on-and-off), but in my time of doing so, I have gained a crazy amount of experience with the functions of each app (e.g. Bios, photos, age range, etc), as well as the people whom I've met online. While I'm currently not dating anyone …

Well, folks...we've come to the final installment of my wine-tasting journey since April. Long story short, I'd purchased a 15-bottle deal from Groupon, and from there I've dedicated each week to tasting a new bottle of wine. Crazy to believe that time has flown by, but all the same, here's to the last one! At …
We are reaching the last of the wines I bought this spring, including our penultimate one featured here. Besides it being the second week in a row that I'm having a white wine from Spain, it's also a unique one in that there's no actual type for this brand. In other words, it's classified as …
Moving slowly but surely through, I am reaching the end of my wine collection that I purchased over three months ago. It's been a long, but interesting journey, and I'm glad to have tried all sorts of wines from all over the world. This week's comes from Spain. It's a Chardonnay, and here's what I …
Although I did skip wine tasting the week before, I ended up making up for it by having two bottles in the following week. Call me crazy or merely ambitious, but when still under lock down, that's just how I roll. 😛 Any case, it was on to another Australian wine, this time a Cabernet …
