It’s that time of year again—mid-January—when I find myself revisiting this space to reflect, organize my thoughts, and make sense of my feelings. I feel that part of me is still unprepared for this new year. Usually, I start by writing a letter to myself, one I’ll read at the end of the year. But […]

Going on staycation / traveling together is my love language. I love going on staycations with friends to catch up and connect. Most often, “a whole day date” is not enough, and a quick catch-up calls for an overnight stay. This is how adult friendships work, and I love that I still get to connect […]

It contained my travel insurance, an invitation letter that I could present to the immigration (just in case), and my meal allowance. There was […]
When I posted Instagram Stories about how we celebrated International Women’s Day/Suga Day, my friend from Mexico replied and asked, what is the meaning of Suga Day? “Suga Day” is a fan celebration of BTS Suga’s birthday, which is on March 9th. Suga Babes or “Yoongi stans,” use this day to express their love and […]
I feel like the year always starts in February; or should I say, the day after my birthday. I am writing and telling you stories about how my birthday went, but I honestly feel like I am stuck at age 28. I don’t usually plan anything on my birthday; I feel like I can celebrate […]
The message I received in my Facebook inbox was not like the usual one that asks if I wanted to purchase a life insurance. It was from one of my business contacts, asking me if I would be interested to work for Pru Life UK. I didn’t realize that a year after that I would […]
