Dear love,

I wish you tried my spaghetti carbonara today.

It was perfect and I ate more than my little frame could handle.

With a glass of Chardonnay, I toasted to a future where you & I would meet.

Although I have never met you before, I wish you were here and we could do the classic spaghetti-eating scene in "Lady and the Tramp".

You are lucky & so am I.

I wish you ate well after all... even as you missed my perfect dinner.

Love,

Your love to be.

Like a gull

Sea gulls are pretty annoying especially when they steal human food with that obnoxious and aggressive energy.

Once, I went on a date at Sam's Anchor cafe, Tiburon, a restaurant with an outdoor choice by the dock.

It's a charming place with tasty seafood, and you get to see waitresses in sneakers as they shoo these gulls away.

Guess what the gulls die to steal?

Butter!

Of all things! Well, seriously, who could resist the taste of butter? :)

Also, I saw gulls stealing hotdogs at the zoo right when some kid got it.

"Sneaky birds", that is what I like to call them. They pretend they are just chilling and not watching you but they totally are. And then, when you least expect it, they fly towards your food and grab it shamelessly.

But, yesterday was very different.

My ride to the beach with my new bicycle was beautiful!

I was fearless like the gulls at the sidewalk and scared two girls as I swayed my bikes very closely to them. (Gotta slow down...)

As I left the beach, I saw them flying in packs.

I love it when sea gulls fly lowly and slowly in packs.

I felt like I could almost touch their puffy chests.

These pictures are in celebration of my new bicycle/my freedom to my first destination.

Life is worth it.

Life is a bitch.

Love is a liar.

Well, maybe just for today.

Doubts

2010-03-26T22:01:00.000-07:00

We live in a bruised culture. Well, at least I do.

There are many possibilities disguised in harsh remarks, doubts, self-pity, low confidence and criticisms and negative thinking.

They say "No"... all the time because you lack this and you are, ultimately, imperfect.

Well, who is perfect anyway?

I say, let's put a stop to all that pessimism.

Let's seal this deal.

ps: There are only a few who could see all those possibilities under the disguise of crudeness and negativity.

A speck of bother...

2010-03-24T00:06:00.000-07:00

Greeted by a tiny broken blood vessel on my eye ball apart from the bright sunshine last morning.

You could get this from sneezing too hard, allergies OR a blow to your eye.

The doctor assured me that it is temporary and fairly normal. :)

It is a speck of bother... hardly serious but seriously a sight short of perfection as if my eye ball's innocence has been ripped away by the dilated vessel.

I'm terribly tempted to fill it with Wite-Out or scoop it with a Q-tip like frantic murderer who is trying to wipe out blood stain from the fingers.

Yet, it should never bother me too much.

ps: Just thought it was cute how the doctor link it to my DRAMATIC sneezing(from allergies) over the weekend.

Stimulative Ad

2010-03-18T23:43:00.000-07:00

So, I was at the bus stop the other day and I decided to snap some pictures of an advertisement which I thought was rather disturbing. Perhaps, I am the only person who has a problem with it.

Well, Palm decided to let you know you can call your buddies and they could leave you voice mails and messages without interruptions. Great job!

You could have friends, voice mails, and awaiting messages. Everything is set up in a Facebook user friendly manner. :)

You could also, have a friend who looks 100% Asian, who does not in anyway look like a Hapa (half Asian, half White), but who adopts a Western last name.

Take a look at Lily Baker- the second friend appearing in the phone advertisement. For some reasons, it is too difficult for Palm advertisers to make a little extra effort searching for an Asian last name for an Asian commercial model.

Yes, I have a problem with her having Baker as a last name.

Despite the possibility that people could change their last names, I insist to see an Asian name that matches a typical Asian representative. I would not have the same problem if she was a Hapa. And seriously, if you want to put some diversity in your ad, you might as well go all out.

Should we all have Westernized Asian friends with Western last names to feel important?

Well, Palm thought so.

But Apple did not.

Apple has no problem promoting the beauty of an Asian last name with a friendly Asian face and with the picture of a lotus (beautiful flower that symbolizes dense oriental values).

That is what makes people big Apple supporters.

Sometime ago, I desperately felt like blogging again. I miss the times I dwelled into the blogging world and the posts I shared with a small circle of readers. I stopped. I regretted. And, now I itch to reconnect again, with some urge from a beloved few.

When I was brainstorming for a character name for my blog, my brother and I randomly came across the name Mooky. It instantly appealed to me.

Unfortunately, Mooky is already a widely used term for many different contexts.

As defined in the Urban Dictionary, it means "A crazy yet lovable girl who is a social misfit. She will always follow her heart. Mooky will always be beautiful although in subtle ways".

I fell in love with the term as it speaks close to my character- Irrational, Emotional, Quirky, Deviant, & Crazy (& many could testify this) & Attracted to life's subtle pleasures.

I would not say I am subtly beautiful as that would be shameless self-indulgence (the problem with my previous blog).

I customized the term & made it cuter & closer to heart.

I meant for this blog to publicize the stimuli that attract me and my responses on them. Essentially, this will be a blog about life.

So here you go, my first post as Mookyoki.
