Dear Hong Kong,
About 3 months ago, I left you, my home of 4 years, a place I’ve loved and a life I’ve truly built from the ground up.
I still remember when I arrived back in 2018. It was around this time .…

20 Things in 2020
Happy 2021! Can you believe the whole year of 2020 just went past us like that?
To feel like I did things this past year, I decided to follow Rowena’s 5-week How to Unpotato challenge, which is basically a series of themed reflections to wrap up the year and get us ready for 2021.…
FALL FAVORITES: Books, Food, Music, and More!
Hi friends!
How are you doing these days? How’s school, work, life?
I’ve actually been sick and feeling very bleh but I thought it’d make me feel better to look back to recap some of my recent memories, and write about them here for my future self.…
Let’s Talk About Books, Baby
Hello friend! Long time no see. I need to figure out a way to write and check in on here more frequently – apologies! I’d like to say I’ve been busy killing it with some other cool projects but honestly, I was just knee-deep into work and life errands that time flew by me, again.…
Dear San Francisco, One Year Later
Dear San Francisco,
A little over a month ago marked a year since I started living here. About a year ago, I moved into the lower unit of an unassuming apartment in SoMa (that’s South of Market for you non-San Franciscans and you’ll find that we like to abbreviate a lot).…
The Ultimate Netflix Binge-watching Guide aka nights I lost sleep

Want to pop in here and talk about how things have been lately.…
January Favorites: What a Month!
Hello! How’s it going?
Is it me or January felt like a really realllly long month? Maybe because it’s been an overall strange month. With everything that’s happening (the virus), let’s just say 2020 is not off to a great start.…
Anna’s 2019 Recap: Growing Pains
Looking Back
Reflecting is always a weird thing to do. I think back to the start of 2019 and can’t for the life of me remember what I was like — or who I was. Did I change? I must have.…
Praisella’s 2019: The Year of Slow Growth
We’re now 8 days away from Christmas, and in just about two weeks, the year will be officially over.
For some reason, the ending of the year is really getting to me this time. Usually, when the new year is around the corner, I sort of just accept it and go on with my life.…
