Down the Rabbit Hole. January 24, 2009. Posted by olive under the interview trail. 8220;Ma’am, do you realize you were going 35 mph in a 25 mph zone? 8220;Now where were you going in such a hurry, sweetheart? 8221; in the hospital or to my professional superiors. Or to cops pulling me over for speeding. So I don’t see any reason for him to call me sweetheart. 8220;I’m going to a job interview at the hospital,” I said coolly. 8220;At 6 AM on a Saturday? Clearly, he didn’t believe me. And I was i...I hande...

Down the Rabbit Hole. March 20, 2009. Posted by olive under daddy-o. I’M GOING TO NEW YORK CITY! Besides – I got a free beer out of the whole thing. One of my friends had bet. Me, can you believe it? 8220;I think you’ll match in ENT,” he said, “But I’m predicting that you’ll match at your #4, 5, or 6.”. In your face, sucka! Looks like that month I spent rotating up there. 8221; I tried my best not to shriek into the phone and ruin whatever image they had of me as a calm, cool, collected professional.

Down the Rabbit Hole. March 16, 2009. Posted by olive under the interview trail. My flight landed in San Francisco at 8:59AM PST on Monday morning. Oddly enough, it had left Hong Kong at 12:30 PM also on Monday morning. I love the paradox of shifting time zones and the resulting “travelled back in time” phenomenon. Even if it scientifically makes sense since time zones are a man-made construct, I like indulging myself and pretending like I actually time-travelled. We matched, but simply if we matched.

Down the Rabbit Hole. February 15, 2009. The Cult of “Everybody Wins.”. Posted by olive under daddy-o. A few years ago, there was a lot of hullabaloo over peewee soccer. The media gave a lot of coverage to what people call the “Everyone wins! 8221; phenomenon, or the “You’re a winner as long as you try your best! 8220;Why don’t you understand this? I’ve explained this to you fourteen times. Look, IT GOES LIKE THIS… ”. 8220;This is just like the last problem I showed you how to do! Mei guo ben gua. 8221; ...

Down the Rabbit Hole. March 11, 2009. Photo Essay: San Francisco. Posted by olive under photobug. I spent a lot of time getting to know my cousin’s. 8230;………. 8230;……. And having dinner with family. My Da Buo and the giant catfish he caught. We brought it to the restaurant in a cooler to see if the cook would roast it up for us. But alas – no luck! 8230;……. Lastly, I finished up the weekend with Fisher. And his girlfriend Christen, who created the iPhone app TwiddlerSF. Fisher and Yuppie Nomad. A lot of ...

Down the Rabbit Hole. August 21, 2009. Posted by olive under Uncategorized. So, per my usual routine – I have a new blog to match the new chapter in my life! No worries – despite what it may. So I posted them in their half-created glory. Small smattering of ideas and anecdotes that are placeholder reminders of posts-that-will-never-be-what-I-intended-them-to-be. But such is life.

A lot has happened in the past 2 months, including:. 1) an 11th hour confession of continued hopeless love by K-Dawg of last year’s glory, about 5 hours before I was to get on a plane to Africa. 2) work at camp with at-risk teenagers from urban Soweto, South Africa. 3) travel through Mozambique and Swaziland (where I was a feast for the mosquitoes). 5) returning home to a long.

Down the Rabbit Hole. June 4, 2009. Posted by olive under all about my mother. DON’T COME IN MOM! 8221; All the meanwhile, I was feeling around with my hand to make sure every single inch of my body was under the blanket. I say “feeling around with my hand” because my eyes were still squeezed shut and I was afraid to open them. Even worse, I could hear the fluttering somewhere above me so I knew the bat was in the area near my bed. Now, logically I know the following:. 1) bats will not harm me. It is for...
