  • Turning 30 in less than 24 hours

    Technically, I finished my writing challenge already. However, I haven’t quite hit 30 so this is my last post as a 29 years old!

  • Goals for 30

    My goals for 30 are simple mostly because I want to enjoy life spontaneously and not constantly with a planned out list. If you don’t know me by now, I love lists. I love making them, checking them off, re-reading them. When I feel lost or bored with life, I go back to my lists…

  • Have Happiness, Will Travel

    My goal in life has never been to have a family or get married. And it’s still pretty true. I want a child, I want love, but if I don’t have any of them, my life doesn’t end there. It goes on.

  • If I were…

    As I am nearing the end of my writing challenge, I find myself blocked. It’s one of those insanely awful road block for the creative mind. And worse, work has completely fried my brain for the week. So to keep up with some creativity, I always do some writing practicing, using metaphors to create a…

  • Mini-me!

    My niece, Lilah For a long time, I never wanted children. I never wanted a marriage. I wanted love. I wanted to be with someone. But marriage and children were commitments that I was not confident I could fulfill and keep. They say you are the product of your parents. Therefore, would not a divorced…

  • Mr. Darcy and Me

    The first time I heard of Pride and Prejudice, I was 13 years old. It was a boring weekend and I decided to watch TV. We didn’t grow up with cable and a million channels so it was PBS, my turn-to-trusted network! They were airing the 1960s black and white version of Pride and Prejudice.…

  • Why I Choose to Live

    Valentine trip to Barbados (2008)with a good friend who knew how to live life I consider myself quite healthy, except when I cave into my one true weakness—food. Otherwise, I have all my teeth except 4 wisdom teeth, all my bones intact except a femur bone strengthened with pins, barely a wrinkle on my face,…
