I have a beautiful friend I met in grad school.  An artist who is intelligent and pensive.  She use to sit and watch everyone in class, daydream and doodle in her notebook; you could tell her mind was constantly racing to say something when she disagreed with the professor or a fellow classmate because sometimes [...]

When you have children, your world is changed forever.  In fact, it is turned inside out, upside down, topsy-turvy.  Everything you thought you knew, is undone.  Every plan you had comes a bit unraveled.  You are ultimately responsible for another life. I can only speak for myself but my daughters have made me a kinder [...]

Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion states the following: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I know he meant for the law to apply to physics but when I found out Newsweek was going to do a piece on the downfall of Christianity in America and I saw the cover, [...]

I am a contradiction in terms - no one culture to call my own, no one place to call home. I grew up Japanese, fell in love with Indonesia, have Spanish/Chinese/Malay running through me, and my beloved adopted city is San Francisco.
