My Christmas Wish List (2008 Edition)
It’s Thanksgiving weekend and stores have been playing holiday music since after Halloween. So, I figured it’s okay for me to write out my Christmas wish list. Usually, I’d post this on Facebook but with the new layout, the “About me” section isn’t on the front of the profile page anymore. These aren’t in any […]
A stepping stone to new hope: Minority Report Part 4 (Sports Edition)
Just as Harry is Dumbledore‘s man through and through, I’m a Seattle girl, through and through. I proudly don my University of Washington sweatshirt as I venture out into the rain–sans umbrella–with my Starbucks cup in my hand (which I would later recycle, if I ever find a recycling bin here). UW, rain and Starbucks. Those, […]
It’s official…I’m a reporter!!!
Check me out! Please excuse my moment of excessive vanity, but whatever. I know I’m not the only one who has these moments. So anyway, I was on the Post Register website this morning and look what I found in the Newsroom Staff page and I was pleasantly surprised to find this: Samantha Pak Education reporter on […]
Movies Lie: Minority Report Part 3 (Unspoken, Spoken Word Edition)
Movies Lie You eat a bowl of tea. I’ll drink a cup of rice. And once we’re all done we’ll see if the girl standing here before you is really all that nice and neat, ready to drop at your feet and give in to your demands, but I think you’ll soon learn I’m not […]

Asian Awareness month come early: Minority Report part 2
For those of you who have been reading my blog on a regular basis, you’ll know that in my more recent posts, I’ve been discussing my Asian American background a little more than usual. It was even the topic of my last post (I’m not counting my Updates post). So, in my normal fashion for whenever […]
Updates
Once again, I’ve updated my Resume and my Journalism Clips pages to reflect my newly assumed position as the education reporter at the Post Register here in Idaho Falls. Check them out!
Orient Express, the quick and easy way to offend: Minority Report part 1
Aside from my name and the variations that people have come up with from it–and believe me, there have been plenty–I’ve been called many things throughout my life: shorty, shrimp, midget girl, squirt, George, Asian Power. Those are just some of the nicknames I’ve come across over the years. Obviously, at only five feet, my […]
Leaving the nest for the newsroom
So, I’ve been here in Idaho Falls for about a week and a half. Well technically I live in Ammon, the neighboring city, but Idaho Falls is literally the next street over and since I work in Idaho Falls and everything is there, for all intents and purposes, I’m just going to say Idaho Falls. I […]
