I am afraid. I am fearful. I have thoughts of failure. Even though I've succeeded, pushed fear aside, and remained strong despite, I still believe I'm those things. I stop in my tracks, I'm afraid to put words to paper, and I stop myself. I know I have to talk to myself differently so I can see who I am. “Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something

I have to admit once while I was getting head, I craned my neck - hey! it was way before TiVo - to the right to catch that night’s episode of Felicity. I mean, well, who didn’t want to know whether she chose Ben or Noel? Right?Luckily, I wasn’t fantasizing about Ben - at least I don’t think so. Maybe. But writer Dan Savage shares his opinion on whether it’s normal to fantasize about others

Author Marianne Williamson’s Miracle Thought Of The Day on Oprah.com invokes poet Ralph Waldo Emerson’s famous quote - “What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us” - to steer us to the “power within.”Williamson goes on to say that too many are enraptured in the past and future - even though they don’t exist, except in one’s mind. In the present

“The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.”***“Smile, breathe and go slowly.”- Thich Nhat HanhIn keeping with the theme of being in the “moment,” noted Buddhist monk, teacher, author, poet and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh offers many insightful words on the topic of mindfulness.

Apparently, when it comes to close friends, you replace them with new ones every seven years, according to research from Utrecht University in the Netherlands.Really? I don’t believe you replace close friends, what I consider my family of friends - ever! But I do think that during the “discovery” stage of any friendship, you might find it not right for you or them. Hmm, can someone at Utrecht

According to sex therapist Ian Kerner, you may want to ‘unfriend’ your significant other to bring the mystery and excitement back in your love life. And in doing so, you might gain a lover.The darn status updates - that I abhor so, so much ’cause nobody gives a shit what’re you’re eating or who you’re blowing - creates a sense of disconnection.

Last time we talked about the importance of mindfulness. According to Ellen Langer, a psychologist at Harvard and author of Mindfulness, “Everyone agrees it’s important to live in the moment, but the problem is how.”Overriding the distraction reflex and awakening to the present takes intentionality and practice. From Psychology Today, here’s how you can do it:1. To improve your performance,

“Breathe,” God said to him over the phone, when he asked how to live in the moment. “Whenever you feel anxious about your future or your past, just breathe. Try it with me a few times right now. Breathe in... breathe out.”It is that simple. Buddhism, meditation, and even Thich Nhat Hanh talks about it. But we simply don’t do it. Here from Psychology Today on the wisdom of why we should

I don’t sleep with my friends - mainly because they think I’m ugly. Oh, I digress. Apparently, there’s a benefit to it: friends who want their friends horizontally lose leverage. You, my friend, do not want to lose leverage!According to Psychology Today all friendships, and I should also add relationships, start with a flare of attraction, and while that doesn’t necessarily mean it will turn into

Yeah! to New York Governor David Patterson!According to Asian Pacific Americans for Progress, Governor Patterson signed a bill that would eliminate the use of the word oriental “in documents used by state agencies, public authorities and municipalities when referring to people of Asian or Pacific Islander heritage.”As we all know, the o-word is an unacceptable term to describe Asian Pacific

Fox News NY's Ti-Hua Chang reports on Asian Americans and poverty. The press too often touts the model minority myth of Asian Americans, but many, I would even say most, aren’t.

If you’re like me, you love, love, love food...and still have a six-pack. Okay, so most of you aren’t like me - you don’t have a six-pack. Sorry, fat asses!

“Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.”- Oscar WildeI grew up with the idea of “safe,” that everything in this world is dangerous, scary, unsure. I think that’s why I don’t take enough risks, I don’t take enough chances. I admire people who task risks, who live beyond their means. I wish I could do that. Hmm, I think I can. I can.

According to Time, California legislature on July 17 “quietly approved a landmark bill to apologize to the state’s Chinese-American community for racist laws enacted as far back as the mid–19th century Gold Rush, which attracted about 25,000 Chinese from 1849 to 1852.

We all have fears, especially. And depending on your personality, the way you process fear differ. According to Psychology Today worriers (yep, that’s me) tend to be distracted, preoccupied, and potentially provoked into more serious hopelessness or depression. Yikes, that’s not so good. But deniers “will ride through the anxiety more smoothly, though as always their denial may prevent them

I would have to agree with Psychology Today: “The thing about masturbation is that it’s incredibly efficient, while relationships are not. For some men, that’s all the encouragement they need to enjoy masturbation even when a partner is readily available, and especially when it has become the more regular form of sex.”Efficiency is very good.

Vincent Chin died 27 years ago today in Detroit, Michigan.His death still reverberates today. Twenty-seven years ago, his world collided with Ronald Ebens, a Chrysler employee, and his step-son Michael Nitz, who was recently laid-off.

Lily Chin, mother of slain Vincent Chin, died seven years ago today.Mrs. Chin fought valiantly for justice after her son was bludgeoned to death in Detroit in June 1982 by two automotive workers and were only sentenced to three years probation and fined $3,000 each.

Hardboiled, UC Berkeley’s (unofficial) Asian Pacific American newsmagazine, is now in its 12th year of publication!hb, as we referred to it in its first year and has even spawned its own student-led class on APA journalism, started out as a proactive reaction to the attacks on diversity in and around Cal, and in California politics.

Last night, I finished dinner and I was full. No, I was stuffed. (Yep, getting back that 6-pack!) And then it crossed my mind: order as much food as possible from Ollie’s and shove it down my throat. I considered it, and then...Binge eating disorder is a newly recognized eating disorder. Yes, I have another one... It is characterized by overeating or starving, and is often a way to cope with

Pablo Casals wrote about his legacy, “...[I]t is the lesson of never losing touch with life, one’s own and that of others, to resist doing things that have no meaning for life.”Resist doing things that have no meaning for life.

For years now, I’ve longed to be a New Yorker. I’m not quite sure what that means. I mean, I don’t like spitting on vagabonds, having sex in the rambles, or selling drugs to junior high school kids. Oh, well, maybe someday...Well, according to a new study by Siena Research Institute, that someday is now. How’s that? Well, let’s look at the numbers:New Yorkers drink more than other city folks. 63%

Every week, a new scientific journal study confirms what my therapist and probation officer know unequivocally - I am wrong...about life and love. Yes, unlike you, I need to be told in print that I’m a loser. Hmm, is this why I’m single? Oh, damn!It turns out love is about dependency. Wha???

Just once more...I have never heard of author Anaïs Nin, but her words struck me like a trailer tractor plowing through my chest, spilling blood and guts and blood everywhere, and opening me up to the simple truth that every human interaction is a sacred connection. It is that simple.

Attraction can make enemies of the brain and the heart, notes clinical psychologist Nando Pelusi.When boys are emotionally unavailable (and sometimes psychologically unstable), then lo and behold we want them!

We’ve explored how to apologize and ideas on forgiveness. While it may be unrealistic to forgive and forget, this article notes that forgiving “means you’re willing accept the mistake, look past it and start over. Truly forgiving means making a commitment to never bring it up or use it your advantage.” And while forgiveness doesn’t necessarily mean we’ve forgotten, “attempting to forget is part

If there’s a group I know very well, it’s alcoholics. That’s because most of my friends act like pubescent, horny college students: binge drinking, hangovers (everyday!), and frequent black outs/potential rape targets.

I dated someone once who made an observation about my TV-viewing habits: "Why do you watch this junk? What a waste of time." I turned to him, gave him the eye, and threw my beloved TiVo control smack in between his eyes. He made that comment exactly once, and still has a slight indentation in his face. (Sorry about that). And yes, I do watch bad TV. Fuck off.Here's my shame: I TiVo'ed a show on

I'm in MP, the first time I've been home since Bradley, my 21-month old nephew, turned 1 in March. It was the weekend he started walking, and since then he's started to talk.When I arrived home today, Bradley was in the middle of a nap. But when he woke from his nap, he opened his eyes and said in Chinese...Uncle.In his first words to me, he knew me... OMG, that's so precious!

But I am...Bill Richardson, President-Elect Obama's pick for Secretary of Commerce, has drawn criticism from groups, including Asian Americans.

I kid all the time about being supersmart. I'm, sadly, not. Damnit.But according to this article on Slate.com Asian Americans typically have higher IQ scores: "Among white Americans, the average IQ, as of a decade or so ago, was 103. Among Asian-Americans, it was 106. Among Jewish Americans, it was 113. Among Latino Americans, it was 89. Among African-Americans, it was 85. Around the world,

My family and I had moved in with our grandparents into a big two-story house. My grandfather had lost the ability to walk. I think it was from diabetes but I’m not so sure, but I remember that when we were in the refugee camps in the Philippines one day he just couldn’t walk anymore. So his body hurt, he was always in pain, and Grandmother massaged the blood through his body every day so he

Last night, I saw the Upright Citizens Brigade in Chelsea. Their show was on guilt. It was riotous, I was impressed and excited about the performers' creativity, and it spurred in me thoughts of...well, guilt. Lots of guilt. Lots and lots of guilt.***When we were six years old, Jamal Henderson and I were friends. I don't know if we were best friends. We hung out, our siblings hung out. Our

Ten years ago, three UC Berkeley students created Hardboiled Newsmagazine as a proactive reaction to the lack diverse views and incessant attacks on diversity programs and legislations in and around Berkeley and California. While we envisioned it as an Asian Pacific American vehicle, our goal was to create a forum for students and the community to share ideas, discuss view points, and raise

A heart-breaking and amazing read. Paul Monette's Borrowed Time: An AIDS Memoir is a remarkable must-read for anyone who's gay, faced tragedy, fought to live. Everyone must read this.I found myself asking what happens to Paul and Roger Horowitz, and as I read, wondering if they'd be okay. In reality, I knew they were dead from AIDS. But a great book does that - it suspends reality and takes you

This line from a Savage Garden song resonated with me. I know, Savage Garden's a pop band, but maybe they have a point we should consider..."I believe that trust is more important than monogamy."I think it should be that trust and love, and love are more important. Love and trust. That's what I'd like to think.What do you think?

Major changes at work akin to Dynasty's Moldavia Massacre. (If you're too young to comprehend it, never mind...) During the height of the chaos, a co-worker asked me:"I'm updating my resume and you're updating your MySpace page?"Well, maybe... What do you think?
