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
Category: 100 Days
100 days of writing. I know I’ve said several times that it takes 21 days to make a habit, but 21 days is not enough for me to commit so I’m forcing myself at least 3 months of regular writing. It might not be pretty or make sense. It might not be grammatically or even politically correct. But if you can count on something it’s that I’m going to be 100 with you.
1: New Year, New Goals
I don’t have to explain myself to you (regarding my long absence) but I will. That day, however, is not today so let’s talk about something else. We’re starting again from the top, except this time I’m not going to try and do 100 days in a row. Instead, we’re going to try 100 days … Continue reading 1: New Year, New Goals
34: Representation
There's a hot topic going across the U.S. right now and it's representation of different ethnicities and cultures in film. Asian-Americans are now rising beyond the nerdy sidekick.

The standards for included minorities is now higher; it is no longer acceptable when … Continue reading 34: Representation
32: A New Philosophy on the New Year
So I'm updating this for the first time in a while and also for the first time in the New Year. I originally intended to post on Christmas Eve but just as I began to ramble about how my sisters were later for dinner, they showed up and we ate dinner. The days that followed … Continue reading 32: A New Philosophy on the New Year
31: Kids are weird pt. 2
CLICK for the first part, if you missed it. A recurring theme in my life is that the kids weigh very heavily on it. This kind of goes for all of my sisters (and not just the actual mother, haha). That year in Texas pretty much killed me being without the big one and as … Continue reading 31: Kids are weird pt. 2
30: A letter to a munchkin
Dear nugget, I don't know if it's just the mood I'm in or seeing your Christmas performance or the holiday season coming in, but I feel pretty grateful. For a lot of things but there's something very special about you. I don't know when or how we bonded (probably has to do with you always … Continue reading 30: A letter to a munchkin
29: My hands have been hurting
My carpal tunnel is the explanation for the delayed posts and the breaks this past week. As one might imagine, it's difficult to get through a post when your hands are in pain. I've been trying to reserve using my hands for necessities or resting them altogether. It's difficult especially when you have so much … Continue reading 29: My hands have been hurting
