nettra asked: I've been enjoying your FAQ very much. It's great to see a female role model working in tech being so open and helpful about her experiences. Thanks for following me and for mymomisafob.com. The book description really warms my heart and makes me miss my family. All the best for the launch, I hope we cross paths sometime!

pspil asked: Hey Teresa! I love reading your blog - you have such a way with words. I imagine you have many followers and that many people read your blog. I'm really curious to know: How did this happen? Did you just wake up one day and realized you had hundreds of hits? I'd love to know that when I write a post, REAL people are reading it, but I'm not really sure how to get more traffic to my...

We Were on NPR Today!
Went in to record a segment on My Mom Is a Fob: Earnest Advice in Broken English from Your Asian American Mom for NPR’s ‘Tell Me More’ today.
Some days of my life are undeniably cooler than others.

Sweet Home Inspiration
More pics of how I’d want my dream apartment to look! (Of course, I don’t think Bobby and Rahul will let us get away with such a feminine aesthetic.)
This is how I want my living room to look! Bright, airy, cozy.
Plates and cups need not be matched. We need to start a collection asap.
The hanging pitchers: unpractical, but cute.
I love the idea of shoes as display. I also...
Time to Get Classy →
My friend sent me this link in response to my away message, which said: “staying in to read a book on a Friday night. how quaint.” Voila: Perfect way to finish off a sick day full of naps and Seamless Web. (Follow instructions on Reddit page for an exceptional lazy night in.)

nerdyoldsoul asked: Hi Teresa,
I just wanted to drop by and say hi and tell you that your blog is one of my all-time favorites. You're a pretty inspiring read, so please don't think I'm a crazy stalker when I eventually start asking you questions about making a move to New York after graduation in a few months' time (yikes!).

Anonymous asked: Hi Teresa! I've been a long time fan of your blog. As an Asian American and the first in my family to go to college in the U.S., I have a question for you that may be too personal to answer. If you don't mind me asking, could you let me know your undergrad GPA (or at least a range)? Or maybe what range you consider to be a "good" GPA? Mine isn't so hot right now, but...
chiirant asked: This is not a question. :D I just wanted to say that I got your Christmas card. Thank you very much. It's always amazing to get things through the mail, although it's almost like a lost art now. I'm glad you liked my Etsy store. I would love to send you a little charm or something if you'd like one. :D

New Year's in LA
After Christmas at home, my brother and I drove down to Southern California with a couple of friends for New Year’s. Here are a couple of belated photos from my packed week in California:
Clubbing with the girls in LA the Wednesday after Christmas — Annie and I just can’t get enough of each other on the east coast. We still make it a point to hang on the west!

2010 in Review
What. A. Year.
At the end of 2009, I genuinely believed that it would be the most epic year of my life. How many times do you meet your best friends, fall in love, and live abroad for four glorious months? Not many.
But yet — 2010 proved itself to absolutely legendary. From the expected (walking the stage at UCSD) to the unexpected (buying a one-way ticket to New York), it’s been a...
