I’m continuing an entry detailing new (and always-humbling) insights into myself, life, God, and affection as Sarah and I continue our dating relationship.
On friendship and figuring each other out
What Sarah’s helping me realize is that any romantic relationship must be, at its foundation, a great friendship. At the beginning we both assumed we were fantastic friends, which was true […]
Sarah and I were talking about how scents are strongly associated with memories. A few of mine:
The scent of redwood bark: This reminds me of being off at various retreat sites in Santa Cruz and the memories of friends
The scent of the first rain: Doesn’t it just make you happy?
The scent of eucalyptus leaves: Walk through the IAS […]
I like observing kindness demonstrated by strangers to other strangers.
Today at lunch, a couple walked by my table and let me know that I had dropped my wallet. Turns out it had fallen out of my pocket onto the ground. Small gesture, but it meant a lot to me.
I also like:
Seeing students talking to homeless people, treating them […]
This semester’s been one of changes. Among them is my decision to bring my bike up to school and do some good ol-fashioned pedaling around Berkeley.
I brought the bike I used to ride in the seventh grade — complete with the bike rack on the bike I used to strap my clarinet into. Yeah, it’s that old. The […]
I’m not a big fan of traffic. Especially not the Friday afternoon get-me-outta-LA kind of traffic.
Yesterday, I nearly rear-ended another car as it abruptly braked. I don’t remember slamming on the brakes as hard as i did then, and my car gave everybody the show of making terrible skidding noises and leaving a trail of tire […]
I’m writing this series to chronicle my forays into cooking. For myself. Let’s say that on the cooking scale of 1 to 10, one being a rock and ten being Rachael Ray, I’m a zero. Get ready for a wacky and wild ride into Andrew’s gastronomical world…
Okay, so it’s morning. I’ve just come back from a run. […]

I oftentimes talk about how maturity is a hard process. These past few months have been times of self-discovery. A peek into the rough-and-tumble, totally awkward journey of self-awareness…
I have an EQ of a doorknob. I used to think I was pretty sensitive and in touch with how I felt — how mistaken I was. A few months […]
Before we begin, let me say THANK YOU to all of you who’ve contributed to the International Justice Mission cause! In the span of just two weeks, we’ve raised over $800! Thank you for your generosity! It’s our hope that we wouldn’t just give and turn away, but our hearts would be more sensitized as […]
I’m feeling a mix of anticipation and excitement (“wow! a real marathon!” “wow! SF is cool!”) with a bit of fear as well (“will I make it to the finish line without an exploding kneecap or total quad domination??”) as race day approaches fast!
I’m excited, no doubt. Tony and I are going to run this race […]
