Originally written on September 26 (but posted on archives) at a difficult point in my life. Sometimes, it’s just important to let go. But I know it’s easier said than done. I mean, I’ve been stuck in this limbo for almost 3 months, and if you’ve been reading my blog religiously, you’ll get a feel […]

It’s been a fairly quiet Christmas weekend for me. With some guy friends, I watched the amazing “King Kong,” which was even better than the original (though I hated the ending), and the “Family Stone,” which was downright hilarious!

1st Day Shit. I almost missed my plane. Even with Mark giving me an early wakeup call at both 6:40AM and 7:05AM, I still managed to sleep again… only to wake up at 8AM and rush to Taipei Main Station! 🙁 Gawd, if I missed my plane, I’ll kill myself. Anyway, upon arriving at the […]

Just got back from warm and sunny Siem Reap, Cambodia yesterday night! Omigosh, it was such a terrific trip and I feel so empowered! I just can’t wait to go on my next trip… maybe this time, to Thailand (Phuket) or Vietnam (Hanoi, Saigon… here I come)! It’s great — traveling empowers you. For example, […]
