Huntington Library’s Japanese Garden
The Japanese Garden at the Huntington Libary in San Marino is quite big. Yes, it’s not small like the one at CSULB and definitely far from tiny like the one at Descanso. It wasn’t my first time visiting the Huntington Libary but it’d been some time since I last visited and I must say that time around, I recall I had the opportunity to explore and appreciate Huntington Library’s Japanese Garden. -
“Boston” in SoCal
I had the opportunity to be in “Boston” without actually having to be in Boston. No, I’m not talking about some sister city but an actual island that allows you to transport yourself back into time to experience the historical Midnight Ride. As much as I like history (to an extent), I feel that the Midnight Ride, along with other events from the US colonial era were things I didn’t pay much attention to. I found our history books boring and opted to search for good looking guys and tasteful fashion from historical photographs instead. (I stand my ground that people back then looked better and dressed so much dapper. If someone was good looking then, they truly were good looking. These days, you just never know…) -
The Japanese Garden at CSULB
I decided to visit the Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden, which is located on the campus of CSU Long Beach. I’d been there before so I knew what to expect, however I must say that things have changed a bit from the last time I visited this garden.

In Bloom
The wonderful rain that graced the state of California has created a rather rare sight for people: superblooms. If you pay attention to your newsfeed, you might have come across articles suggesting where to see these superblooms. Of course, the reality is that you don’t have to travel far to see these “superblooms”. There might be a “superbloom” near you unbeknownst to journalists.

Pacific Islander Fest
I arrived at the Pacific Islander Fest at the Bowers Museum a tad bit late for my tastes but it turned out that I may have actually arrived in a very timely manner. I’m assuming prior to my arrival, the fest was giving people time to settle in to visit booths, find seating and listen to any opening remarks. A lot of the available chairs were already taken by the time I arrived but I managed to score a pretty good seat and an even better seat as the fest progressed.
