About

Esther, heretoforth referred to as e*star, works with money by day and kittens by night. Hailing from suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she is a Midwestern girl at heart having sought the bright city lights of Los Angeles for about the past ten years. Five of those, she qualifies with the fact that she didn’t have a car and was busy finding herself inside the college bubble that is Westwood, California.

e*star is a classically trained pianist and violinist like any worthy Asian American. She even tried the ice skating thing, too. Her addictions include snowboarding, Anusara yoga, driving her convertible Mini Cooper S above 2800 rpms, ramen and twitter. She personifies her most prized posessions by naming them. Her home mountain is Mammoth to which she has a season pass. e*star’s a member of Mosaic and the Christian left. She loves professional football, particularly the Green Bay Packers (and cried when Brett Favre retired).

Calling herself ”e*star,” as in this blog, is her endearing way of fleshing out her father’s way of pronouncing her name.

While writing up this “About” page, she decided to address herself in the third person as well as increase the “aww” factor by posting a picture of her beloved Bengal kitten named Rufus:
