Bonita Applebaum, you gotta put me on.

About Me


there are only two kinds of people in the world: beatles people and elvis people. now, beatles people can like elvis, and elvis people can like beatles, but nobody likes them both equally. somewhere, you have to make a choice. me? i'm a beatles person.
i'm probably one of the only chinese-panamanian people you'll ever meet, unless you know someone else in my family.
i enjoy cooking, sleeping, ping pong, putting my turtles through ninja training, playing music, boiling water, opening and closing the refrigerator door, filmmaking, looking at the stars, receiving mail, making puppets, watching movies, fighting monkeys with knives, taking long walks on the beach, blowing stuff up, playing with my bottled beverages, doing nothing... and sometimes dancing. ok ok, a lot of times dancing.
something hit the bottom of my car the other week and it caught fire, so now i'm back to riding my scooter and/or skateboard... maybe even at the same time.
two not-so-random facts:
1. i'm a sous chef for SimplyCook
2. i am opening my own frozen yogurt shop in Merced, CA
questions? comments? let me know. i love receiving mail.
