I've lived near the Micronesia Mall my entire life. This meant that I am always a less than two minute drive to the nearest grocery store. I've always liked shopping at night, since high school. Sometimes, I'd go with a friend or my sister to the store if I really wanted something in the middle … Continue reading 9: History

I am as simply or as complexly as you make me: the control freak, the jolly realist, the observant and highly opinionated. I like all things art, emotion, love, and passion induced.
8: Home is the smell of sea spray on my face as the tide rolls in.
It is the smell of smoked meat as the flames and ash rise in the air. It is smell of coconut oil on golden brown skin. Home is the smell of oil and fish wafting through the kitchen as I walk through the doors. It is the smell of vacuumed carpets and lemon pledge on … Continue reading 8: Home is the smell of sea spray on my face as the tide rolls in.
7: Emergency Diapering

However, most people might not guess it from meeting me or seeing me in public. Most of the time when I attend an event (that I'm not required … Continue reading 5: /ˈekstrəˌvərt/

One of my least favorite thing about capitalism is probably the stuff. When people obsess over the value of themselves through the value of the things that they have. It's crazy to see the amount of stuff people try to get rid of on the Facebook marketplaces. How often those things are just a result … Continue reading 4: Stuff
3: Too High, Can’t Come Down
So recently, my sister shared this written thingy on the internet called " Addressing Toxic Behaviors in Filipino Families". It's insane to me that toxicity is actually considered a cultural practice for an entire race of people. Of course, most of these people don't realize that it's even toxic, which is why it's so prevalent. … Continue reading 3: Too High, Can’t Come Down
