I Just Wanna Swing

February 17, 2011 My story

I’m sure you’ve seen a similar picture before. You know, those idyllic pictures in the magazines, in which a couple of golden-haired, blue-eyed kids are smiling brightly into the sun on rustic swing sets, all happy and relaxed? Now, tell me, have you ever seen grown adults on swing sets with that same happy and [...]

Everyone Can Celebrate Christmas

December 24, 2010 God

This is the first Christmas I’m spending away from my family. I’m feeling very weird right now. There is a bit of melancholy as I feel somewhat detached from all the festivities.

Que Sera, Sera

My Prince Charming

May 6, 2010 God

Guys, I’m in love.  I now know why I am full of that “I don’t need a man to make me happy” bull. I now know why I don’t want to settle down with a nice Korean man and have three Korean speaking kids in a safe suburban area. You see, I was born in [...]

Why Stress Is Just Self-Torture

March 9, 2010 My story

How many hours have you been up today? It’s been a long day for me. I’ve been up since 8 am (I know, it’s really late for some of you grannies, but it’s early for me!), and it’s been layers and layers of stress and worries piling on top of me, hour after hour from [...]
