Interesting times. 2020 is certainly a year that the entire world will not forget. So much has happened this year and just when we think we have seen the worst, something comes up that makes us wonder what else could be lurking around the corner.

Imagine making a mistake in your youth that you regret greatly. It’s something that drives you to change for the better. You do everything in your power to make things right – except owning up to your mistake. What do you think will happen when you finally have to come right out and admit it? […]
My sister and I were talking earlier about how it will be Christmas next week…Christmas. It is almost the end of the year. After all this time, things are still the same. COVID still exists. We are all still staying home. Still trying to be careful. Still hoping that the vaccine will arrive in the […]
Here’s the thing about me and writing: people seem to think that it’s easy, that it just flows out naturally when a lot of times, it’s not. Yes, there are moments when you get that moment of inspiration and you can write on and on and it will just keep going but for the most […]
It has been a while since I last watched an Asian drama. I have been watching mostly Korean dramas so during one weekend without much to do, I decided to randomly pick a series from iQIYi. I decided on the Chinese drama called The Day of Becoming You. The rom-com series stars Liang Jie […]
This pandemic has been heartbreaking. So many people have been infected by the virus. So many people are still suffering from it and so many people have died from it. Some have died from non-COVID related causes, but because our hospitals are overwhelmed as it is, they have also been affected by this pandemic. I […]
This pandemic has been quite a challenge for everyone’s mental health. I think that the events of 2020 have brought on a surge of so many emotions — way too many emotions than what we normally must deal with — and we need to find a way to keep ourselves in check. We need things […]
My nephew is the love of my life. He is my person. He says goodbye to me when I go off to work and is often the first to welcome me home after a long day at the office. He kisses me goodnight practically every evening and hangs out with me a lot when I’m […]
One of my guilty pleasures when it comes to books is reading love stories that involve royalty. Not necessarily a love story between an ordinary person and royalty. It could be any love story if is it royalty adjacent. I think it comes from my fascination with British royalty and the fact that we do […]
For so many of us, the COVID 19 pandemic has been a difficult challenge to face. People are suffering, dying, losing loved ones, losing their jobs. It seems there is just one bad news after another every day because of this pandemic. It has been hard to find the good in the bad, but more […]
Another week of February has come and gone. I can’t believe how the time is just blazing through this year. Just this past week alone has gone by so fast that I hardly even knew what I did before it was over. Work has been a lot for me, as usual, but I have been […]
Back in 2001, I got sick and was brought to the ER. It was an unusual experience since the people who brought me were people from work – an officemate and two students from China who just arrived in the country to study (that was what my job was about at the time). When you […]
I just realized something today: in December 2018, I will officially celebrate my 20th year of working. I may not be in the same company where I had my first job, but I have been working for that long and it feels overwhelming! As most young people do, I jumped from one job to the […]
The past week has been crazy…I don’t know how best to describe it really. So much has happened and yet I feel like the week passed me by with me not even realizing it. I felt like a viewer of my life last week, like I was in it but not quite — you know […]
