Trying Hoto Noodles in Japan! It's kinda like Udon but not really. Hoto Noodles are indigenous to the Yamanashi area. Check out my blog on www.yoMamaRice.Com #travel #travelblogger #food #foodie
I roasted a White Woman.
A white woman thought it was a great idea to paint Venice Beach Graffitti Cone All White.
Ok. I was kinda ruthless but wouldn't you be? This white woman, an obvious transplant, thought it would be a great idea to gentrify the Venice Beach Graffiti Cone. Lol. Bhahahaha.
As you all know I even made a web series on white women taking over Venice Beach a few years back and now Venice Beach has completely been transformed with housing costs through the roof and locals living on the streets or in their cars.
Here's a post I made that went viral and I guess, she deleted her original post I stitched because of it. Was I a bad, bad girl? #venicebeach #comedy #funny #roast #gentrification

DMZ - split of Korea & Camp Greaves
Bloodiest battle for the Brits during the Korean War. My uncle revisited old battle sites and recalled some stories that he shared with me. Battle of Im Jin River.
Battle of Im Jin River - My uncle drove me around historical sites for a day when I was visiting. This was one of the places. I didnāt know anything about this battle at Im Jin since I had a US education. He recalled a lot of memories from his days as a soldier during the Korean war. He knew the land like the back of his hand although there is a monument now. Did you know this river is also known as the river of dead bodies because of all the dead bodies that would come downstream from North Korea? They think the dead were the starved. #history #korea #koreanwar #KoreanWarHistory #travel #traveltheworld #battleofimjinriver Yomamarice
Dancing in the snow on Xmas day. āļø āļø š Thatās my kid! On his way to be Chloe Kim. š
He watched Chloe in a competition, front and center, cow š bells and was featured on the jumbo screen when he was 5 years old. He decided then that he wanted to be Chloe. Great for me, that means I had to be Chloeās dad.
Getting up at 2AM and driving him to the snow, learning to put snow chains on š±. I mean, come on, the first time I tried to take those off I literally š© my pants. Sun was setting, snow was falling, and I was crying. Putting it on, even harder.
Well, eventually, he figured out Chloe was a girl. So now, heās aspiring to be Shaun White.
Freezing my butt off when mama can be enjoying the tropical sun. What we do for our kidsā¦ Representation matters.
Merry Xmas!

Wishing yāall a very merry holidays!
Donāt let your family drive you nuts. Just remember that you are fortunate to have one.
My family has mostly had long gone past and for those of us that have no family, holidays are a difficult time of the year. This is when suicide rates jump up because it reminds us of what we donāt have.
I was always an outsider and never had any support in my life until I met my husband. My dad and grandma when they were around were my responsibility. This is common with immigrant families, My dad also suffered from PTSD and alcoholism and would get violent. So, I would spend Xmas alone, working, or in various different friendsā homes through the years or just went to the movies.
The first time, I experienced Xmas was when I was 18. My friend invited me to his familyās celebration. My friend was a kind person that brought in strays and outcasts. I sat and watched my friendās family gather, eat then open presents by the Xmas tree. I didnāt realize thatās what people do for Xmas and I was grateful to have witnessed it and I took delights in watching everyone's reaction to their gifts.
Next year, I was invited again and during the present openings, my name was called. That was my first Xmas gift. I was surprised since I did not expect any.
I didnāt realize until then that it must have been awkward for them the previous year, opening presents with some girl in the corner observing them open their presents.
I know many people dread spending time with their family because there is always some kind of trouble and politics but I have to say from the POV of someone that does not have it, appreciate the little time you have left and be tolerant of your loved one's flaws.
How you judge your family is also how you limit yourself in understanding and sympathizing with humanity.
Cheers and happy holidays!
And for all strays and outcasts out there, hang in there and remember, that everything is temporary and this too shall pass an
A jerk ran over this chicken by my gate and left it to die. He was wide alert but has broken hip. He was trying to drag himself off the road with itās wings. I took it but not sure what to do with a paralyzed chicken. š¤·š½āāļø Heās eating fine but canāt move. Slow the f**k down! No need to drive over a chicken fending for food. #jerkneighbors #chicken #farming #kauai

Dancing in My Hood...
What up Venice Beach?! A typical day, dancing, rollerskating, skateboarding by the sea. West Coast!Many changes since I was last here. A lot of shops are closed. Few new open. Prices jumped even higher than before the pandemic. More homeless. The divide is getting greater but people seem freer to express their views. Greater camaraderie, perhaps?
Living it up and dancing away the stress of city life. I forgot how city etiquette is not to talk to strangers since we are automatically on the defensive. That I don't miss. I love talking to strangers. However, I do miss the diversity and the many eclectic creatives that are making the best of life. And of course, I had to stick my kid at the end of this video, skateboarding. š

Korean vs Korean-American
I talk with Mo Sibyl about life, media, and what it means to be Korean-American. Have a listen.
American media is still confused as to what Korean or what Korean-American is.
These are 2 very distinctively different things.
KOREANS IN KOREA ARE WELL REPRESENTED. KOREAN-AMERICANS ARE AMERICANS. Where is our story?
Why can't Whyte America give credit to their own and validate, uplift the experiences of Americans with a hyphen "- "? Why can't Whyte media give credit to their own colored Americans and validate, our American experiences and give us visibility?
Is it because whyte America does not really want to make a significant change here in our home? We, colored Americans, are not "exotic" and dismissed. If you traveled overseas to cast a Korean instead of Korean-American for a Hollywood role and think that validates those of us that are American, itās missing the point of representation.
Korean-American stories are struggles of adjustment, learning to be judged by our cover (being Asian) and not being seen as a whole individual human, learning to be looked down on and pegged in as a 'group of Asian' people, being demoted in social status because Whyte's automatically assumed we are here for a "better life", a WOC should kowtow to those that are whyte, otherwise, we get "how dare you". Learning to be alone and dealing with loneliness because no matter how liberal or non-racist Whyte's think they are, we are always being excluded (unless you are a kowtow'er) and we are the first to be thrown under the bus, silently, when in a group of whytes. Token. Having an Asian friend does not make you non-racist. LOL. It just means you like to decorate.
Learning that many of the rules, products, culture and American life revolve around, and is centered around whyte culture and is not meant for you. Anything you see or hear, you have to filter, decipher and judge for yourself and ask if it applies to āmeā.
Such as in comedy, they say, punch up, not down. If you are A
MILFriend is Proud to present Jesus!
Happy Pride month!
MILFriend Comedy series celebrates all colors of the rainbow and one of our lead characters, Jesus, was created to explore what it means to be a "woman". In today's modern parenting, women are waiting longer to have babies hence the 'sandwich moms' of MILFriend and some women are all together choosing not to have babies.
Sometimes, I wonder, is it because women don't want babies, or is it because our culture has convinced us that we don't want babies? Having babies is expensive, there is no support for parents, most parenting falls on the women and we can't pursue our career, have to "give up" our independence, and 'give up' our ability to have what men automatically are given.
Some of us women that want to have a family and have babies convince ourselves that we don't want them because of all the things we can lose. Pepper is allergic to babies and when she gets knocked up, her best friend, Jesus, has to watch Pepper go through many body and attitude changes.
For Jesus, who is questioning his own body and wishes he could birth a baby like Pepper, he has to watch his best friend not respect her body and her 'God-given' abilities to give birth.
That would be Season 2...
We are all colors of the rainbow. We explore real issues with laughter in MILFriend.
MILFriend now available on WhoHaha.

Muscovy Ducks are soooo cute
We went to go get our Muscovy Duck! They were fast but we were able to grab one. However, we found out it was too young to be away from its mother so we returned it the next day. It was great having it for a day. Watch until the end to see how her tail wags every time she chirps!
