I had been meaning to read “The Latehomecomer” by Kao Kalia Yang for some time now, as I had heard great things about it. Recently my Grandma was given a copy and allowed me to borrow it, which I’m glad she did. I’ve always heard bits and pieces of stories of what the Hmong people [...]
Books, movies, the internet and more. We can’t deny the hype over damn good-looking vamps who’d make decent lovers if they weren’t so determined to bleed us out from our jugular. Or that Asian drama hunks manage to keep their masculinity intact with some very beautiful crying scenes (in fact, we want them more!). Those slow-mo, nose-to-nose-but-not-quite-kissing, longing stares, possessive grabs and [...]
I’m pretty sure they’ll last. In fact, I’m confident. Not just because I’m in love with the child they’ve created – the most soft-tempered, long-lashed cutie – but because their love is so palpable! In their words, their actions, even in their silences. When I say “palpable,” I don’t mean the tips of my ears blush red when [...]
To my fans – the one, two, possibly three of you – you may have noticed my long absence from the love blog, if you will. In my nearly three-month long hiatus, I became witness and participant to a barrage of romantic entanglements. While I’d like to end the suspense with a heartwarming resolution over [...]
Eleven years ago I had the opportunity to write about my experiences in interracial dating and being involved in a interracial relationship. I came upon the article recently and found that much of what I wrote back then is still true today. I was a recent high school graduate when I wrote this and still [...]

I’ve always heard bits and pieces of stories of what the Hmong people had to endure while in the jungles of Laos, but I’ve never read it from beginning to end. In the Latehomecomer, I Read more »
Books, movies, the internet and more. We can’t deny the hype over damn good-looking vamps who’d make decent lovers if they weren’t so determined to bleed us out from our jugular. Or that Asian drama hunks manage to keep their masculinity intact with some very beautiful crying scenes (in fact, we want them more!). Those slow-mo, nose-to-nose-but-not-quite-kissing, longing stares, possessive grabs and let-me-swoon moments – do they even exist? And do they make us establish ridiculous expectations for lovers? Maybe. To both questions.
About a year ago I came to a conclusion: I didn’t want to be overweight any longer. I had gone from 145 pounds to 198 in about five years. I had become someone had I hated and decided to make a change. I was going to try to seriously lose weight.
I made lots of mistakes in the beginning and hopefully you can learn from those mistakes. I began to run on the treadmill daily for thirty minutes, but not at a fast enough speed. I also Read more »

In their words, their actions, even in their silences. When I say “palpable,” I don’t mean the tips of my ears blush red when I see them locking tongues in public. In fact, I don’t even think they’re fans of public affection, the lovey-dovey kind anyway. Their love, its strongest essence, is actually in the ways they express borderline hate for each other.

What does being Hmong mean?
Really, what does it mean? If you ask me, the numerous things on my mind are:
1. Duh! It means that I am Hmong!
