  • Summer Vacation: Day 2 Shelburne, Vermont

    Ever since I moved out of my family home, I’ve never been able to sleep past 8AM. No matter what time I fall asleep, I automatically wake up. A part of me still thinks my mom is in the kitchen cooking breakfast still.

  • Summer Vacation: Day 1 Burlington, Vermont

    First vacation of the summer! Last year, my friend who I was a bridesmaid 2 summers ago gave birth to a beautiful baby. I finally made plans to see this little munchkin. Last I saw my friend was when she was at the early stage of pregnancy still at a condo. This time, she is…

  • 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.

  • First 5k Run

    When I was 12, I was in a car accident. I broke my hip and was in a body cast for almost 4 months. When I recovered, it took an extra 4 months of physical therapy and even taking a special Charm class to learn to walk without a limp. Once in awhile, when the…

  • A Weekend of Food at LIC & Celebrating Bastille Day

    It was another hot and humid weekend, a heathen summer, thus far. I can count the many hours the heat has hindered me and held me down to slumber. This weekend was not going to be another wasted weekend.

  • Jazz Cruising into Her 30th

    “The training wheels are officially off,” said my friend on her 30th birthday. It’s true because I found the 20s was just an extension of one’s teenage years, full of angst, uncertainty, self consciousness, and self loathing at times. But something clicks when you reach a certain point and life changes, in a very good…

  • Traveling

    Curiosity seems like a natural thing when you see babies giggling and following mobiles and playing with simple block toys. They crawl to reach for things, for places they don’t know. It seems so natural to want to learn, we want to know and we want to grow. So when I hear that someone dislikes…

  • A Berry Happy Afternoon

    Every year after Father’s Day, my mother used to take us all out of the house, after a long winter hibernating at home and school, to go strawberry picking. It was an annual outing that I loved! To be out in the sun, in the field, eating fresh fruits, and listening to wild birds and…

  • Castle Williams & LMCC Open Studios

    Memorial Day weekend came and went like a blur. Every time I have a three-day weekend, I say to myself, why can’t it always be a 3-day weekend? Wouldn’t that be perfect? Of course, it’s never truly a 3-day weekend when you inject work into one of the day to prepare for the week in…

  • Poughkeepsie: The Houses of FDR and the Vanderbilt’s

    The Northeast isn’t known for its mountain and beaches like the west nor is it known for its great plain like the Midwest. Instead, it’s known for its quaint historical towns littered with historical estates that rivals that of the chateaus of Loire Valley in France. Having grown up in New England most of my…
