Wow. 

I didn't think I would miss reading stories, but here I am an hour later. So here's an unexpected entry from "disco-dingus," a story that revolves around a 6-year-old boy, his broken family, and an unlikely friend. I had so much fun reading it- but if I didn't do it justice, I highly encourage you to have a read yourself~!

6 months is a long time. Long enough for me to lose the momentum to keep up. Here is my attempt to catch you up to speed with my life. From binge-worthy Netflix series to $378 fraud, all the way to my cat's special day, I've got some ceremonial-grade tea and she's ready to pour.

Happy Lunar New Year! Since we part ways in the last episode, we welcome another holiday with a lot to catch up on. From New Year's resolution to a "near-death" experience, January was a wild one worth sharing. Sit back and enjoy while I unpack my chaos. 

Merry Crisis, we did it again. In honor of another fresh start around the sun, allow me to manifest the changes I wish to see in my life plus, the moments that made my Christmas oh-so-special this year. 

Let us pretend that I was stuck in another dimension and thus could not update for a month. Although that was not true, I am neither Peter Parker nor Keanu Reeves; I "was" stuck making some big changes in my life. From starting a new job to dyeing my hair milk tea grey, here is the "thic" update you deserved. 

Am I one day late? Absolutely. Considering it's acceptable to blast Christmas music in November, being a day late for Halloween isn't so bad. Here is a log of what I did for Halloween and some late night thoughts on my insecurity of being non-confrontational. 

Oh how I missed home...Living abroad sounds fun but it also gets tough when you're away from home too long. This weekend, we sent off a good friend/coworker we met here in Seoul and it's making me miss home. Well, "some" aspects of home...which led to a conversation with my mother about my future. Spoiler alert it didn't end completely well....more like semi-well.   

We often find ourselves distracted by this busy world. Though it is true that sometimes we lack the motivation to do things, have you ever thought of the root of the problem? Yes, social media is addictive. But it could also be beneficial in moderation. So what causes us to stay off-tasked? Let's tickle our brains and have a look. 

Though it's only September and Thanksgiving in the states is quite some time away, I've got the chance to "celebrate" Korea's version of Thanksgiving - Chuseok. Luckily I was spared with 7 days to "celebrate" this holiday. So, allow me to explain how I managed to spend my first Chuseok in South Korea (with occasion commentary from Oonee).
