It's a Monday, we could all use some Office happiness.

Life's all peachy until you have to actually grow up and care for yourself. I know you've probably got plans on how to personal finance, how to achieve the goals you've set in your life as you are heading into your twenties...I am here to shed some insights on having/not having friends and how to "socialize" as a twenty-something.

Birthdays are always special to some and busy for others. For me, it was a little bit of both. Since I couldn't celebrate on the day of or the weekend of my birthday, this is what we did this past weekend to make up for it.

As an advocate of being a productive couch potato, I am slowly becoming a "busy bee" but I've never envisioned myself as a Youtuber. Times have changed, I guess my thoughts have changed as well. Here I am, trying to reason you though my thought process of deciding to become a Youtuber in 2021.

Sure, crap happens, it happens to each and every one single one of us. Luckily if it's my issue, I can handle it on my own. What if it happens to the strongest person we know? How can we help them pick up the pieces so they can walk again? Today I'll venture into past issues from my family to share my opinion on how the strongest cope with hardships in their lives.

With everything that is going on in the world these days, I'm hoping for a world with a little less evil and prejudice. As a teacher myself, I too have witnessed prejudice coming from younger students. However, how should I present this issue to them in a way that is understandable in a language that they are not fluent in? Here are my frustrations as a foreign teacher in South Korea.

Wasn't it fun while it lasted? Well, everything is debatable in life and so were my experiences working as a part-timer. Let's dive into my past and allow me to introduce all of the part-time jobs I've had up until this point in my life. If you are going to yours today, have a great shift!

Nobody is perfect, but if we don't reflect on our mistakes, it allows them to grow infinitely in the wrong direction. So today, I'm trimming those branches that are poking in all the wrong places by sharing them with you. From mid-night snacking to relationship hiccups, here is an honest podcast about all things that I have been handling lately.

Is karma real?

Goodbyes are never easy, especially when they hold such a special meaning in your life. As I experienced the heartbreak of sending my kids off to a new term, here is a heart-to-heart regarding the last day of my very very first term as a teacher here in South Korea. Though it may be TMI, I just wanted to store this piece of my life on some medium to keep the memories alive. Have a listen, It's pre...

There is always a show that helps you get through your best and worse days. For us, it was the Office. Though the Office is well-loved by millions in the U.S. and around the world, here are some of the reasons why we connected with this "mocumentary," who were our favorite characters, and how it always left us satisfied (that's what she said).

Happy New Year (again)!! For the Year of the Ox, I am spending my new years abroad and away from my family. But that doesn't stop the holiday spirits. Here is a quick rundown of what I did for the lunar new year while I am living in South Korea.

In a blink of an eye, I am already almost done with my first school term as a foreign teacher here in South Korea. Through multiple trials and errors with teaching and zooming, I have some frustrations that I wanted to get out of my system. Here are some thoughts that I have been bottling up.

Oh, the places you'll go. Time flies and my sister, who is 10 years younger than me, is going to start high school soon. As she vents to me about her worries, I figured I should compile what I've learned to do and avoid in high school in an easy to digest format. Here is a short message for her, but also for anyone who is worried about high school. Don't worry, you'll do great. :)

Nowadays, everyone has some sort of debt. The most common ones being credit card debt and student loan debt. I too am one of 45 million Americans who is carrying some amount of student loan debt. Recently, there were rumors regarding President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan. Though I am no political junkie, I was interested in how will they execute this plan and how will it impact our econo...

Oh, yes. She's finally here. My affection for my hometown is probably unmeasurable. Whenever I find out that someone is also from Guangzhou, I cannot stop talking about all the memories I had from this city. Today, I want to introduce the city that holds my heart to you too. So, here is a piece of my precious memory.

New year, new me; easier said than done. There is no point in avoiding the fact that I too, want to and have set goals to welcome another new decade/year. Through the different challenges we faced in the past year, I learned to become honest with myself and examined my past habits and how to change them. Here is a list of goals I want to achieve this year for my physical, mental, and financial hea...

I'm pretty sure this is a silent struggle that many Asian Americans are experiencing as we grow to be this hybrid of two cultures. What is expected of us inside and outside of our homes are drastically different, yet we are expected to please both. I don't know who I will reach through this podcast, but here are some of my honest thoughts regarding what is happening within my family.

Oh, what a year! We often forget how the journey started when we are on the road. As we are experiencing various hurdles in our odyssey, the stress present in the moment overshadows the courage you had before it began. It's important to revisit that, pick yourself up, and continue moving forward. Here is my year in review, and what a wild ride it has been.

(SORRY FOR THE WEIRD CUT OFFS MY FILE WAS CORRUPTED AND I COULDN'T REOPEN TO FIX IT but I promise if you push through the first few hiccups there're contents worth your time ;--;) Growing up sucks. Learning to become an adult and giving up things we once love is so difficult regardless of how many times we've done it before. It is impossible for us to master the art of letting go, we will never ge...

I am no love doctor, but I walk in the same flesh with a beating heart like yours. Love has many shapes and comes in different forms. I may not have an antidote to cure heartbreaks, but I hope my advice and experiences will prevent another one from happening. so let's get intimate, let's be vulnerable, let's talk about love.

First weeks are always hard. A new environment brings new possibilities and hardships. Well, here are some of my high-and-low-lights of my first week as an English here in South Korea.

Time flies, but we are almost at the end of a miserable year. Miserable in terms of all the suffering the world has to endure, miserable because of all the lives that were lost. Though what we see maybe darkness, if we look within, there are so many lights in our life that lit up our darkest days in some way. I couldn't spend Thanksgiving at home this year, but I can and should give thanks to thos...

I thought I was a pretty good toilet in terms my ability to flush down frustrations from work, but some stories from my previous job proved themselves to be incredible pieces of crap. My only wish after publishing this podcast is that they will never find this podcast. Please, I am too broke to be sued.

I believe it's now a universal law that, moving is never easy. Aside from unpreventable homesickness, the process of moving, and especially moving overseas comes with its own set of problems. Welcome to the day one (of many) struggle session featuring my experience traveling to South Korea during COVID.
