		<description><![CDATA[Finally, I&#8217;ve made it through an 18-hour flight back home—to the City of Angel. No, not the city where Miley Cyrus hopped off the plane. I&#8217;m talking about the authentic City of Angel: Bangkok. And I didn&#8217;t know if I felt good to be back in the blazing sun, the mid-80s temperature and the thick, [...]]]></description>

Not to brag here, but I&#8217;m a celebrity! Considering that I have never made it ON Drake&#8217;s press release—and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would make a horrible landscaper. I learned that yesterday. When I decided to join a beginner&#8217;s Japanese Rock Garden workshop during the 2009 Japan Cultural Day at the Des Moines Botanical Center, I had no idea what I got myself into. Except the fact that I was given a cardboard tray filled with sand [...]]]></description>

My beloved Chicago didn&#8217;t seem interesting anymore. Until I received a six-hour session break on my third day—thank goodness. Wisely, Daniel, Afsaneh and I decided to embark [...]]]></description>

I really don&#8217;t know if he has a home because I only met him once when he was crossing the road. But I knew for sure he was the one to receive [...]]]></description>

When I first saw these little (dead) creatures, I thought they were beautiful. And although I don&#8217;t eat meat, I liked the heads to much to let my friends throw them [...]]]></description>
