Taho is a Philippine snack food made of fresh soft/silken tofu, arnibal (sweetener and flavoring), and sago pearl (similar … More Taho
For my birthday this year, Tashi took me to the Discovery of King Tut Exhibit at the Union Station. He originally planned in giving me a surprise trip to the Omaha Zoo but due to the bad weather forecast we decided to stay and went to the exhibit instead. It was great!

Filipinos are known for their generosity especially when they have the means to do so. One way of showing this is through the balikbayan boxes we send to … More Balikbayan Box
Happy Thanksgiving Day, Everybody! Today, millions of Americans all over the world are celebrating Thanksgiving Day, one of the most celebrated holidays in the United States.

I have been so busy last week that I was not able to post these photos taken from the Greater Kansas City Japan Festival we went to last week-end. Japan Festival was the very first nerd event I went to when I moved here in America eight years ago. I wasn’t a “convert” yet back … More Japan Festival
