Life is Terrible, and Yet…
I can’t recall what cartoon I was watching in my early days as an American kid, but there was an episode where a set of twins who could foresee the future made a guest appearance. One girl could see all the good things that were about to happen, the other could see all the bad…

10 Things I’d Tell my 20 Year Old Self
About a week ago, I recalled this list I read from Serena Dyer (Wayne Dyer’s daughter). I was 21 years old, doing little with my life except consuming personal development books/blogs/forums/videos, and cooking meals for a household. Serena was 29 years old at the time, and she had written a blogpost of 29 things she…

One Year of Bullet Journal Journey
A year ago, I sat in the public library and opened my first Moleskine notebook, with so much excitement and nervousness. I had shelled out my birthday money to buy an A5 Moleskine notebook, a Staedtler fineliner pen, and a twelve-inch ruler – which at the time, with very little disposable income, felt like such…

Why it is Never About ‘Balance’
Many people have one word they would like to remove from the language to make the world a better place.

I felt so nervous and uncertain about what was going to happen next, as I was about to board a one-way flight to London, knowing literally nothing…

Three Books I Read This Year
It’s the halfway mark month of the year, and this year has been flying by like no other. With that said, I’ve also accomplished much more than I have this year than in any other year. I think part of it has to do with having pushed myself to be out there a lot more,…

Okinawa trip, and the fragility of life
In November last year, I took a trip with my mom to Okinawa to visit her older sister, who lives there. From when I was young, living in San Jose, I remember receiving large boxes from my Japanese aunt (she is Taiwanese, but married to a Japanese) with goodies from Japan, especially the Shiroi Koibito…

2019 Goalsetting
When was the last time you said you really wanted to achieve something, then actually made it? It’s a pretty amazing, satisfying feeling, isn’t it? Given that it’s the new year, I thought to share some reflections on my experiences with goalsetting, when it didn’t work out, what I changed, and how it has progressed…
