Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

About Me

What is there to say? I'm probably one of the most straight-foward, honest people you're ever going to meet. Sometimes I'm so blunt I end up sounding more rude that I actually intend to, but if you can't handle the truth, then don't talk to me.
I love baseball. I love the San Francisco Giants. I'm an Asian girl who loves country music, but seriously, I'm Asian. Sometimes a little too Asian. But I'm not "AzN." Glad we've got that cleared up.
I'm currently going to school so I can become a journalist. I used to be a writer and co-publisher for SFDugout.com , a website that's the San Francisco Giants' affiliate of Scout.com. I enjoyed my work there for the most part, but I realized in the end that it wasn't for me.
Beginning of February 2007, I started freelancing for the Oakland Tribune, the San Mateo County Times and BANG (Bay Area News Group) , and now I'm back to doing work for them this semester, and I'm more excited about it than I thought I would be. In the summer of 2008, I also interned for Curve magazine .
I have been freelancing for FemmeFan.com for a while now, mostly as their Giants' correspondent. They have given me opportunities I've never dreamed of, and I'll never, ever forget about them. Hopefully there are more awesome experiences for me to encounter in my future for FemmeFan.com.
School-wise (which technically makes it "life-wise") I'm trying to help my fellow man in a different way. I have decided to double major in Journalism and Sociology. I know that these are two different disciplines, but they each have their advantages and disadvantages. What can I say? I'm still trying to "find myself." I'm a college student. It's my job.
I spend my spare time watching the Giants, listening to the Giants, cheering for the Giants, crying over the Giants, rooting for the Giants, throwing stuff because of the Giants... You get the picture. In between all that and during the offseason, I like to watch and re-watch episodes of the Golden Girls either on TV or DVD, and when I'm done with that I like to play computer games while listening to Garth Brooks. Such is my life. You won't find another one like me.
I'm in love with a guy (guy meaning something between a boy and a man... he acts like both so it's tough to decide what he is) who means the world to me. Aaron is always there for me whenever I need it, and he's always there to remind me that there's something more to me than what everybody else sees. I love him with all my heart and I'm lucky to have him in my life.
That's it. No one ever reads these things anyway.
Beat LA! Beat LA! Beat LA!
Spankalicious.
The best player of our time no matter what.
The legend. The man. Garth Brooks.
Baseball means a lot to me. Next to Aaron, it is the most important thing in my life. It has given me purpose. I think when someone goes through life without being passionate about something, then they mind as well not be living at all. Baseball is my passion.
There's no feeling more special than the one you get when you walk into a ballpark. Its vastness, its greatness. All your problems are gone, and your life is put on hold because another part of you starts living. Baseball is my passion.

My Interests

Stalking anybody and everybody. Yeah, that means you, too. And a short list of men who make my Ovaltine boil.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet... Just about anyone... I'm cool with people who can carry on conversations and DoNt TypE LiKe dIs.
Intelligent conversations about baseball, journalism, sociology, current events and life are highly encouraged. Mentionings of the Giants' 2002 and 2003 postseasons are highly NOT recommended if you want to talk baseball. If you don't know how to pronounce Max Weber, don't talk to me about sociology. If you think there's something wrong with journalism and the media, then please do talk to me.
Oh yeah, in general, no stupid people. I know this is broad, and if you are one of these people you probably wouldn't understand, but if at anytime, somebody somewhere, has referred to you as being stupid in your life outside the classroom, then it's safe to assume you fall under this category... But go ahead and take your chances. More often than not I will be the one to tell you you're stupid. Just be forewarned.

Onfield Photo Day 2007

At long last, I am making my Onfield Photo Day post. The reason I took so long was because, well, there's a lot for me to bitch about, and it'll take a long time. Also because we had different cameras...
