Non-Cantonese speakers are always asking me how to say “hello” in the language. The truth is, there isn’t really a way to do so. On the phone, one might say “wai?” but that’s not super-formal. And “nay ho” and even “nay ho mah” isn’t appropriate all the time, either (a little bit too stuffy). I […]

Warning: These tacos fall apart very easily! […]

Now that I’m well into my 30s, I’m beginning to get tired of all the casual styles that seem to be hitting the magazines and stores as of late. The fashion world, especially within the blogging community, is not too friendly to anyone over 30. The ideal fashionista, blogger or not, is between 23-30, thin […]
