In other news, I’m waiting for a new iPod. I feel so naked without it. Also, I must go to bed because my roommate and I are starting a 6:30 am gym regimen. Let’s see how long this lasts!
Why I’m food obsessed
Jan 26th
Only I would bother responding to posting on the famous craigslist.org. Actually, my friend forwarded me the posting on Tuesdsay and I immediately e-mailed the author about my love for Trader Joe’s. For those who don’t live in New York City, TJ’s is finally opening a store in Union Square! This will be great because it will be in direct competition with Whole Foods. Anyhow, the said journalist e-mailed me back and asked if I’d do a phone interview with her. I replied and said I’d only do it if she portrayed TJ’s in a positive light. She said yes, so I agreed to do the interview for Wednesday.
She called a bit late on Wednesday, but I admit I was waiting by my cell phone. I picked up and then the interview began. She asked me questions on why I love Trader Joe’s and I answered with specific items that I love there. It was kind of pathetic. I bet she was laughing inside. Anyhow after 15 minutes she said she had enough quotes from me and would be finishing up this article this weekend and submit it on Monday. She would call me if she had anymore questions. I said great and then asked what she was writing this for. She informed me it would be a reflections piece in the NY Times! How crazy is that? I’m interested in reading her piece. I just hope she doesn’t make me sound like a big loser.
Okay well tomorrow is my little sister’s 18th birthday. I can’t believe she’s so old! That just means that I’m that much older. 
Happy Birthday Jessica!
This weekend is Chinese New Year’s, and it’s MY year! Year of the Dog (finally!). Wow. So I probably won’t be posting because I’ll be busy celebrating. 
Good night!
Mmm dim sum
Jan 21st
Delicious shrimp dumplings at my favorite dim sum place in Flushing–Gum Fong.
To view other food pictures, click here. Speaking of food, I spent $3.19 for one can of Campbell’s Select Italian-Style Wedding Soup.
I blame this on Jane and Chris’s doing! Now I’m asking my lovely mom to buy me some more! Although it’s way overpriced in NYC, it was definitely worth it. It went very nicely with my pepper jack grilled cheese
In other news, GO STEELERS!!!
Please help me find a new apartment in NYC! I can’t live in this “mini apartment” any longer! Good night.:tired:
P.S. Is it normal to cry during every episode of this show? I love Jennifer Love Hewitt!
It’s getting cold out here!
Jan 15th
Wow, the weather is really crazy now. Yesterday it was 50 degrees and today it’s like 25 degrees (F). Also, it snowed and it’s super windy now. I had to borrow my dad’s coat when we went to Flushing today. Anyhow, I’m supposed to be participating in this five weird facts about myself. Here it is:
The first player of this game starts with the topic “five weird habits of yourself,†and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their five weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next five people to be tagged and link to their web journals. Don’t forget to leave a comment in their blog or journal that says “You have been tagged†(assuming they take comments) and tell them to read yours.
- I wash dishes right after I finish a meal. I hate leaving dirty dishes in our tiny sink.
- I like to keep my things protected. For my iPod I leave it in its iSkin and then in an iSkin bag. Nothing wrong with a little extra protection!
- I discovered my favorite fruit in Taiwan. It’s called “lian wu” in Mandarin. Delicious!
- I live in a mini apartment.
- I stalk John Mayer.
I tag: Cici, Sally, Liz, Cousin Jane and Miss Techie. Have fun!
In other news, the Steelers won today! 21-18. Yay Pittsburgh! They’ll be in the AFC Championships. Amazing. I love how everyone predicted that the Colts would spank the Steelers. Anyway, I better go check out what’s for dinner.
Type 2 Diabetes
Jan 12th
I just finished reading this article on NYTimes.com. It’s a bit disturbing.
One scary fact is that 14% of Asian children in New York are obese. Isn’t that crazy. Later in the article, they mentioned this Chinese baby who’s first word was “Mother”, then “Father” and then “McDonald’s”. I also found out that more and more Asian children are dining at the fast food joints in Flushing (McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, Joe’s Best Burger) rather than the conventional Asian restaurants. I find that surprising because whenever I’m in Flushing, I don’t even consider the “American” restaurants. I can get that anywhere! Plus, I’m not a huge fan of fast food.
I really hope I don’t develop diabetes. My grandpa has it due to old age, so I guess I may have a chance of getting when I’m older. I’m going to keep on going to the gym so I can be as healthy as I can.
Lastly, I’m officially addicted to Project Runway. Everyone should watch it. It’s on at 10pm (EST) on Bravo. Heidi Klum looks so cute pregnant too.
Okay, well it’s Thursday, which means it’s almost FRIDAY! Yay! I better get to bed. :tired:
Happy Friday at last!
Jan 6th
Well I’m glad this week is over. Even though I only had three days at work, I am pretty tired. I’m going to go make something tasty for dinner and watch some quality TV.
The highlights of my day? Well, we now have heat. Hallelujah.
Oh I installed this Gallery plugin where you can see a random image on the right sidebar. How cute is that? I guess I’ll be motivated to take more pictures with my new love.
Have a great weekend!
