I met Bear at Equinox then we went to NTD, Lawry’s Carvery, Olympic Golf, Bear got a haircut and lastly we picked up food and dessert.
I love afternoons where I can spend with him.
We went to Milk first so we ha to keep it cool with the air blowing on it so it wouldn’t melt while we went to grab the pizza.

Beautifully handcrafted by the gorgeous model turned jewelry designer.
My one of a kind, 1 of 1, personalized vintage crystal crochet necklace with hues of purple.
To my luck, I met this beauty years back at a friend’s birthday party and I was mesmerized by her physical appearance. Over the years I’ve seen her via Facebook, Instagram and such. Not only is she breathtaking on the outside, she’s just as amazing on the inside.
Her sense of style, her craft on her work and most importantly an outstanding mother and wife.
She exudes true womanly qualities with class and grace.

To the future father of my unborn children, Bear.
He who has been an amazing boyfriend and an even more amazing person to Tyler. Seeing Bear each time with Tyler makes me feel secure about our future with him in it.
His care for Tyler warms my heart every time I see them together. His behavior towards us has me looking forward to a growing family. I love that he opens the bottle of apple juice before he gives it to him, they way he brings the food over and opens it and places it in front of Tyler, they go to the restroom to wash their hands together and so much more I can list but won’t.
Thank you Bear for exemplifying great characteristics for Tyler to absorb.
Also a Happy Father’s Day to my one and only dad.
A man with an enormous heart and the strongest will to provide anything and everything his family wanted while I was growing up. The man who provided me with all the riches in the world. I’m sorry I never appreciated it when I was young but I am forever grateful for your love and generosity and blessed with your work ethics.
Thank you dad for setting a great example on how a man should be so I can set my standards to your ways. A family man who provided the world without wanting anything in return except for love.
Happy Father’s Day to Bear’s dad, whom I have the world to thank. For bringing such a great man into my life and raising Bear so perfectly.
And finally a happy Father’s Day to Tyler’s dad of course.
For all you’ve done with Tyler after he started living with you in 2008. Without your help Tyler wouldn’t be the kind giving boy that he is today.
And a happy Father’s Day to all the papa’s out there!
I bought tickets to Man of Steel a month ago for Tyler and finally the day came to go watch it.
I seriously love Century City AMC because of assigned seating. We were a bit late but had the best seats in the house!
After we headed to KTOWN for some early dinner. Park’s BBQ was perfect for my two boys who love meat.
Then we went to check out the new XLanes in little Tokyo DTLA Fe some bowling and arcade.
The new XLanes is so cool! They had this life size connect four game that I would want in my future home. The game brings me back so many memories from my childhood.
It was an amazing day with my two favorite boys.
I ate everything in sight and I’m scared to go on the scale.
It was the day after we met when I stalked his Facebook looking over these photos of Bear and wondering why this handsome man would want to get to know me.
I’ve never seriously dated anyone outside of the Korean ethnicity and I had no idea what was in store.
I think I had self esteem issues and the idea of a non Korean person finding me attractive was puzzling.
When I first met Bear, I was immediately blown away by his looks. It was on the set of filming the last day of KTOWN season one and he was there as a guest of my producer Mike Le.
Had I known I would be planning the rest of my life with him, I wouldn’t have gotten so intoxicated and not remember our initial exchange of words.
I remember waking up to a horrible hangover and finding a friend request from Bear.
My immediate thought was, “oh yay, he thought I was cute!”
That was a Friday morning, June 15, 2012.
We exchanged a Facebook message initiated by me asking a ridiculous question. Basically I threw myself under the bus.
He responded with a text message, “so you don’t remember giving me your number?”
I was mortified.
We met the next day. Drinks at the Glendon in Westwood talking about our jobs, childhood, cars and coincidently Equinox.
This was the first date in a very long time with a non Korean.
Honestly I knew I was attracted but didn’t know him well enough to know if it would even turn into anything substantial.
I was not looking to date and I figured I’d go and keep myself amused with one of the best looking man I’ve ever met. I went into it as “just for fun.”
After that night we hung out again the following Thursday. Then again on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and almost everyday of the week for many months to come.
He was sweet but not a chump. Very kind but not a pushover. Had gentlemen qualities without an ego. Hard working but prioritized the time he would spend on me. Book and street smart without being pompous. He was everything I imagined a man that I would fall in love with would be. And hopefully, for the last time.
He treated me like how I would treat him. Every action was reciprocated and every gesture was genuine.
After the first few weeks I was in awe. I couldn’t believe what my heart was feeling. I couldn’t believe that I was falling for someone who I never imagined myself to be. Speaking of a person’s ethnicity of course. I guess I can say that I was ignorant and narrow minded. Limiting myself to people who weren’t meant to be my soul mate.
We moved slow, not because I wanted to but because he did. I followed his ways because everything I’ve done before when it came to relationships, had failed. So I assumed that maybe going against the grain would be more beneficial.
On July 18th 2012, we made it official. He was now my boyfriend. My first white boyfriend.
It was still unbelievable to me. I always wanted to date outside of my ethnicity but never thought it could work and or a bit afraid of the culture clash. I was comfortable with what I knew. And that was a Korean man boy.
Today marks the year we met.
One year ago today and prior, I was lost.
“Love and Happiness Comes in the Form of Giving”
Bear picked up his hobby again recently and I wanted to get him something to show my support.
Of course I’m all about individualizing everything so searched “personalized golf balls.”
“BMT” and “Winners don’t wait for chances, they take them.”
Two different kinds of balls because I didn’t know which were better.
I know these balls will get lost. That’s what happens.
All I wish is for Bear to enjoy picking up his hobby again, always stay physical and to use it as a stress reliever. 
So I finally got my Korean passport renewed. I should be saying “I finally got my American citizenship!” Ha!
But honestly, I’m lazy and that shit is expensive. I remember the last time I actually attempted to get it done, it was about $400. Now it’s about $800.
If I had known the prices went up every year, I would have gotten it done a while back.
The funny story is, I would be a citizen because my daddy got his before I turned 18. But in the moment of excitement of passing his own naturalization he simply forgot to put my name down under the children under 18 section. I never knew until they passed the law about not being able to bypass if I was a certain age in a certain year. So here I am, a green card holder, alien, Korean citizen and some may even call me a FOB. But I am far from the last description.
Thank GOD I don’t have a penisam not a boy. I’d be forced to go to the army if I were to ever go back to Korea before 40. Or something like that.
Either way, I have my passport and I go in the immigration other line which is slower.
But you know, I’m not too worried.
It’s not a big deal. I’ll get it eventually.
Early dinner at downtown disney and the search of churros.
But no churro stand to be found. 
My cousin had a mini birthday celebration with her family and invited Tyler to join. Noah and Tyler play so well, and Mason tags along, it’s too cute for words.
I picked up Tyler for the weekend, stopped by Porto’s for a cake and drove to the South Bay.
We went to Adventureland in Marina Del Rey for two hours. The boys played while we watched.
Kids really love those indoor play yards. A great safe place for kids to play and use up all their energy!
After we came back to their home and had mini feast of KBBQ!
Thank you 언니 & 오빠 for an amazing Saturday! Bear joined us at their home and the night continued over soju and cake.
I was asked to cover the Plate by Plate event this year and I agreed to do it because I support any and all Asian American groups.
All the proceeds to this event go to a great cause and I hope you can join me at the event in August to pig out together!
Having issues with this. It’s a GIF so click and you can see all the funny faces 
Anyone know why the GIFs aren’t animated when I publish? This is really annoying.
Partying Working in the beverage industry had its perks. Actually, having a BFF in the industry has its benefits. Great benefits!
Chandon X Trina Turk collaboration event for an drunk fest American summer at the Standard DTLA rooftop bar.
I can never say no to open bar networking and being out.
It was the hubby, wifey, Jo and my Bear.
We arrived a bit late and stayed a lil too long but the short time we were there, we all had so much fun.
THANK YOU JANICE, for inviting us!
I love seeing Bear when I’m doing Jim.
Especially because he gets to see my sweaty disgusting beautiful face.
Lucky me!
Been a while.
Hubby invited me to her mo they meeting for the Korean LGBT community.
It was an interesting experience.
I had fun making posters for the #LAPride this weekend.
Sugar crystals. No wonder the bottle was $18!
Location: Phil’s BBQ in San Diego
As I expected…
Plan is to take the math placement test to place out of math 80 and not have to waste my fall semester.
One class for summer and one more fall session and I’m ready to transfer!
Worked on my day off til about 3:30 and rushed to the hubby’s pool to get some sun with the Double C’s.
Then a quick stop at Cafe Concerto.
New drink introduced:
Patron, fresh lime juice and extra limes.
Margarita but not.
