<description><![CDATA[The entryway of our house is the busiest area, I could say. We walk in and out of it, 24/7. Naturally, it tends to be the most cluttered area and probably the easiest to get dusty. It means the busiest, the dirtiest! ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I remember growing up and seeing my Granny frantically put charcoal all over the house. She likes placing them inside a rusty, old mug and put them in every corner known to household. I had no idea what she was doing at that time. I thought they were home for the ants or some form of ancient voodoo. It was crazy, I thought back then.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In any time, medieval or feudal, modern or ancient - there has always been the need to seek the solitude of oneself. For a city person such as myself - that little slice of quiet and concentration has always been difficult to find - especially if 'home' is a small room in a noisy house, or a studio apartment in a tall residential building.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Each time the year ends or the season of spring cleaning comes up for a future garage sale, I secretly take out a small notebook that lists a full line of kitchen tools, equipment and modern gadgets that I want to purchase depending on need, function and aesthetic purposes. I envision opening my cupboards with an organized array of tools and equipment, categorized by type beginning with copper, stainless steel, silicone, rubber and wooden. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Checkered tablecloths remind me of old time diners and restaurants.  A length of checkered tablecloth can set you back rather cheap in textile markets and in department stores.  The problem is that these ordinary looking tablecloths look rather butt-ugly; the least I want to do when I get home is to eat at a place that looks like the eateries across the street.  Don’t get me wrong: they serve nice Soup #5, but I don’t want to eat at a similar-looking environment.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The holiday season, the coldest time of the year, is a time for celebrations and gift giving.  People are excited about their Christmas and New Year's Day vacations as well as the presents that they will receive.  Clearly, it is the time for total merriment - until you actually decide to take a bath without a water heater.  In my case, I have formed several “cold-reducing” rituals before my mom finally had the contraption installed.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Recently, I was asked to show a demo on how to arrange flowers. I love flowers (who doesn’t?) and to be given an opportunity to show how to work with them was a great honor for me, so I jumped at the chance immediately. However, I’m still not quite sure how coherent I was (I’m just a little bit stage-shy, I guess!) that I decided it’s probably better that I make a blog post on all the things I mentioned in the demo. ]]></description>
