Aftermath of Hurricane Athena
The cloying citrus scent assaulted my nostrils and shook me out of my drug-induced drowsiness. Like a ferocious dog, it chased away the side effects of the two 25 mg meclizine, anti-dizziness, tablets I had taken earlier that day. Scrambling out of bed in panic, I called out for my children. They [...]]]></description>

Lake Balboa Park in North Hollywood
While cooped up in the house for days due to the maddening rains, I promised myself I&#8217;d go to Lake Balboa Park once the sun came out. I developed a burning desire to take pictures of  the birds there, probably the result of watching too many nature shows. My mind [...]]]></description>

		<title>Search, Real Meanings, Quests</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Long before Google became very popular and indispensible, when people wanted to find out the &#8220;real meaning&#8221; of things, they&#8217;d go on a long and perilous journey. The quest for the impossible dream. The search for the real meaning of life. Juan Ponce De Leon went on an expedition to find the fountain of youth [...]]]></description>

		<title>KBL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Took out the canned jackfruit(langka) an hour ago. It would be nice to cook KBL, an Ilonggo dish of Kadyos(a type of bean), Baboy(pork), and langka (jackfruit). But here I go again&#8230;.procastinating on the computer.
I don&#8217;t feel too confident about cooking this dish, I guess. Months ago, fueled by a picture on a food blog, [...]]]></description>

These sightless vines-
Who tells them just
Where to climb?

Hey inchworm!
Finish a leaf
Before you munch on another


Don&#8217;t wanna share
My garden with a worm
Wasteful, picky eater

		<title>Honing My Haiku Eye 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tightly shut an hour ago
Tiny leaves spread out
Embracing the sun


Why do plants
Do their growing
When we&#8217;re not watching?

		<title>3 AM Food Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
3 AM. I am cooking. Crazy day ahead. I look up and see this can of wasabi and soy sauce almonds on the kitchen shelf. I know I bought it for my husband to snack on while at work, but I wonder what it tastes like.  Like sushi maybe. So I open it up. Not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Garden Pests</title>
		<description><![CDATA[



Chaos ensued in my mother&#8217;s garden two Sundays ago when these creatures were spotted. Four fierce-looking worms straight out of a science fiction movie. They were as long as my ring finger, oozing green goo, plump and juicy after having feasted on the leaves/stalks/fruits of my mom&#8217;s cherry tomatoes. I screamed. My three-year-old ran from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Grandpa and Baby Girl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Took these pictures of an old Korean shopkeeper and a little girl that he was probably babysitting for the day. Couldn&#8217;t resist it. They gave me an early morning laugh. I went into his store on the corner of Third and Vermont streets to have a key duplicated. I also wanted an adjustment on my [...]]]></description>
