What do you think of the new law that was passed...
*thinks thinks thins*
*scratches head*
*strokes metaphorical beard*
*takes deep sigh*
*gets on political mode*
*furrows eyebrows*
*clears throat*
On one aspect, I understand why Arizona did what they did: it doesn’t take a genius to notice how ineffective the Federal government has been in immigration regulation and reform and isn’t the beauty of our government and democracy the...

You remind me of Gandhi.
Hmmm…I like the whole “be the change you want to see in the world” element of Gandhi…
though I’m not sure if I could deprive myself of food as much as he did.
And I’ll hope we’re not speaking looks.
(though if we are, I suppose that isn’t the worst i could get…)

My brother just posted the highlights video from Valeria + Jeff’s wedding that I shot (and he filmed) back in February (you can see their engagement video here as well).Note me creepin around in the background every now and then. One of these days I’ll get their wedding photos up on my site in a blog post. For now you can check out my brother’s work.
I could never get sick of...

What is something that you've always found...
the smell of new books
the running of water
the clanking of my mom mother putting away dishes early on a Saturday morning
washing dishes
(I think I like dishes so much because it reminds me of the kitchen in our house in my hometown in Lakeport [Northern California]. The kitchen sink had a window with a hummingbird feeder right in front of it and we used to sit for hours just staring out the...

What was the highlight of your day?
At work (the day that I got this question), this little 8 year-old asian boy came into the studio for his voice lesson and came up with about 20 different questions to ask me, then started making observations about my work area:
“You have a lot of sticky notes.”
“Someone spelled ‘Julie’ wrong on the sign-in sheet. They forgot the ‘i’”
“Can a...

What helps you to be confident in yourself?
My spiritual response to this would be that I know I was fearfully and wonderfully made, and that my life has a purpose. I wish I could go into more detail than that, but what else is there to say? It’s as simple as that…but simple doesn’t necessarily mean easy.
I guess a more “day-by-day” way of looking at it would be this:
I truly believe that just like the people...

What do I currently hate the most in life?
When people assume the worst of me.
I’m not an entitled brat
I don’t expect you to take care of everything
I am doing everything I can, but working a 15-20 hour a week job, trying to apply for a second one for the summer, trying to keep my grades up and actually graduate high school, keeping up on all the deadlines and senior activities on top of church and Student Council...

How did you arrive upon such an overwhelmingly...
Oh boy! Um…I hope this doesn’t hold a negative connotation? I do wish to be bold, but never “overwhelming” – at least not in a negative sense. Then again, if the power and love of Christ isn’t overwhelming, I don’t know what is :P
I have a feeling you probably aren’t someone that spends a lot of personal time with me – I certainly can see how I would appear “overwhelmingly bold” with my...

who was your first kiss?
LOL - funny you assume I’ve *had* my first kiss?
Guess again ;)
Ask me anything
you seem kinda sad...
yeah, I guess I am.
I know when you say to someone, “I miss you!” most of the time its because its some sort of formality or out of pure cordiality, but when I say I miss you I mean it with all that’s in me.
Because, there’s a piece of my heart that belongs exclusively to you and Shmal and Jen and Emily and Loggie and Dee and Suggies and Angel and Gail, to light nights...
and on the 8th day the LORD created coffee
because he too couldnt stand Mondays.
sometimes there’s only so much energy you can expend on someone, and after a while there’s no more you can do. i’m done trying. *sigh*

To visit:
Zadar, Croatia. There’s a sea organ there that I’ve always dreamed of going to see (and harmonizing) with! Literally, somebody built this big structured cement thing and designed it in a way that as the tide came up into it along the beach, it would created different pipe-organ like sounds and best of all, he designed the sounds to be harmonic (albeit semi-random).
Plus, I...

I didn't get into the school of my dreams, it's...
I know how it feels to have your dreams obliterated in one merciless
blow, and I know what its like to feel like nothing you are, nothing
you do, and nothing you can be has any worth or merit to it. I’m truly
sorry that you have to feel this way and that life seems to have
failed you so much.
However, I also know how it feels to realize that every fiber of my
being was fearfully -...

Usually I would have said “absolutely” yes, but I have two issues with this:
First of all, this spring break at Honor Choir in San Jose the Buttonettes and I were walking to our car during one of the meal breaks when a squirrel fell from the sky, and made a huge *SMACK!!* noise on the cement with a belly flop, scaring the liver out of us. (We looked up moments later to realize it must...
