Ron and Lina’s wedding highlights
I just recently returned from Mexico for my sister’s best friend’s wedding. It was on the island of Cozumel. The ceremony was on the pier at a private beach club. It was beautiful. Here are some highlights:
If I had a choice between…
My mind wanders a lot. I’m not going to lie. Sometimes it seems like I’ve got a mean case of ADD. Here’s what today’s wanderings were about: If I had a choice between: Superman or Clark Kent, I’d go for Clark, no contest. It’s my love for the underdog as well as the geeky guy. [...]
Highlights from my 22nd year of life
With my 23rd birthday two weeks away, I’ve decided to do a little reflection on how I spent my 22nd year of life. For the first week and a half or so, I was in Europe. On my actual 22nd, I was in London by myself. I’d just spent three months studying in Rome and had [...]

The victory of China Gold has never been sweeter that won by the Chinese Men’s Gymnastics Team. Favored to win the gold, the Chinese entered the Beijing National Indoor Stadium with, maybe not the weight of the world, but at least the weight of a nation on their shoulders to bring home the gold.
