SingInSac: Good Samaritans
http://singinsac.blogspot.com/2008/07/good-samaritans.html
About a girl and a little more. Sunday, July 27, 2008. Yesterday a group of good people got together to help an elderly couple scammed by an unscrupulous unlicensed contractor of their life savings. I wrote the story about the scam months ago. It wasn't even front page news, but a contractor - a legitimate one - read the story and contacted me. At first I was skeptical about his intentions to help. Why would he go out of his way to help complete strangers? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A journalist...

SingInSac: June 2008
http://singinsac.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
About a girl and a little more. Sunday, June 29, 2008. For as long as I can remember, I have had three best gal-pals. We met our first year in high school and bonded over campfire, class projects and common interests. Maybe a year into our friendship, we were chilling in the school gym and decided to make our group official. So we sealed the pact with some chant and hand-joining. The Freaky Freaks were born. Also, I had thought I would feel left out of their lives once they were all married and that I ma...

SingInSac: More on the Humboldt Fire
http://singinsac.blogspot.com/2008/06/more-on-humboldt-fire.html
About a girl and a little more. Tuesday, June 17, 2008. More on the Humboldt Fire. I woke up about 6 am the next day, so I could make it to the briefing by 7 am. I tried to continue eastbound towards Paradise several times, to an area where structures had already been burnt or were burning, but the heavy smoke and unrelenting fire that just seemed to grow bigger and bigger made it close to impossible, and dangerous, for me to advance. In a story that my colleague wrote for Monday's paper, the Paradise to...

SingInSac: Fourth of July
http://singinsac.blogspot.com/2008/07/fourth-of-july.html
About a girl and a little more. Sunday, July 6, 2008. I cannot say enough wonderful things about kids. They never fail to amaze me. On our way back to Stanford, we stopped by Cupertino and had a delicious lunch of Taiwanese porridge with an assortment of side dishes. In the afternoon, I took a nap, while my friend worked on her dissertation, her children played and her husband prepared another delicious meal for dinner. To my surprise, without even looking like she was trying to decipher her friend's wor...

SingInSac: The Bug That Wouldn't Burn
http://singinsac.blogspot.com/2008/07/bug-that-wouldnt-burn.html
About a girl and a little more. Monday, July 14, 2008. The Bug That Wouldn't Burn. This one is about an amazing, annoying little bug. This flat-bodied, dark-greenish bug bites. It flies (or jumps), and lands on you forcefully, in a willy-nilly fashion. It flew into and inside the shirt of a resident while I was talking to her. I almost got one in my mouth and another one in my eye. I felt like I was being attacked. I'm sure someone can make a horror movie about this bug too. A blog from the past. View my...

SingInSac: May 2008
http://singinsac.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
About a girl and a little more. Tuesday, May 27, 2008. I was in the Bay area again this weekend, this time in Stanford visiting a friend who's working on her PhD. Another friend was also in nearby San Jose on a trip with her husband. My friend then said to me that I will never know what kind of life it is to have no life. Yet she and her husband are happy because they love her children and everything else pales in comparison. It is an incomprehensible, infinite love I am afraid I will never know. Jean, w...
