Rescue Her’s October ‘Soap Outreach’

If you’ve read my previous post about my first time volunteering for Rescue Her last month, you would be aware of this thing that we do called Soap Outreach. It’s basically a new form of outreach that Rescue Her does involving soaps, stickers, motels, and cookies. So how does it work? We visit motels in low-income areas (because […]

Juggling for Balance

“Huh?,” you might wonder, “How do you balance when you’re juggling?” When we hear the word ‘balance’, we’d usually picture somebody with yoga pants on, standing with one foot on the ground and with both palms of their hands touching (Namaste!). Or, some of us might picture a scale with equal amount of weight on […]

God Bless America

I still remember it like it was yesterday — watching Home Alone 2 for the first time, getting blown away by the breathtaking view of the twinkling lights and the Christmas trees at Rockefeller Center. The snow, the beautiful buildings and houses (with basements! we do not have those back home!), the toys, and oh […]

Are they? Whose […]

(Now I Know) Why I Do This

People blog for different reasons. Popularity, money, influence, etc. No matter how ‘positive’ the reason is, we must have been caught up in the vanity of this ‘industry’/culture at least once or twice throughout our whole blogging journey. I have struggled with it too, wanting to stay true to my cause, while still being influenced […]

Why No Might Be The New Yes

We decided to finally attend the Family Life Night at Gateway Southlake Campus last Monday, where we had the opportunity to learn from the New York Times-Best-Selling Author, Dr. John Townsend. He talked about the importance of setting boundaries in your life, as an individual, as a family, and even as a business. I was […]

The Myth of Being The Reacher and The Settler

Like many other unique terms and catchphrases that I know today, I first heard about the term the ‘Reacher’ and the ‘Settler’ on the hit CBS TV Show, How I Met Your Mother, particularly on the 13th episode of its 5th season, titled ‘Jenkins’. In this episode, Marshall (the guy on the right) argues with […]

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

One afternoon at a coffeeshop-playdate. D : I don’t know about you, but sometimes I am reminded of and even feeling like wanting the foolish things I used to want in the past. And it stuns me. How could I still want them? K : Tell me about it. I struggle with that too […]
