My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Eating is one of my favorite things to do. Good food makes my legs move and my body dance. I am also wont to hum a happy tune as I chew and savor a bite of goodness. 💁🏽‍♀️ Some time back, I was talking to someone and relaying a story about an experience eating. As I was telling the story and saying, not for the first time in my life, that I hate…

  • Reading is my joy. Reading is my escape. Reading keeps me sane. Reading is life! In past posts, I have mentioned this first set of three books that were on my read-ar, but as I was thinking that it is probably about time that I update on the other books I’ve covered, I realized just how much I have read since my last proper literary escapes post in February. One way that I…

  • While waiting at the airport with my mother due to our seven-hour delay to get to Mongolia 🇲🇳, I did a lot of people watching. I am always fascinated by behavior whether as a social norm or an individual. Often, I find myself imagining what people are thinking or the background behind their actions. 💡 As we were sitting on lounge chairs to pass the time, people came and went to rest before…

  • It had been a while since Mom and I had taken a mother-daughter trip, so with life starting to return to normal, we made plans to reinstate them. With lots of options, we decided on Mongolia. Many people gave us quizzical looks respectively whenever we mentioned where we were going as it is not a common travel destination – yet. However, this sort of made the journey even more exciting. We booked an…

  • Having weekends to myself has been the most challenging in terms of how to pass the time enjoyably, but also meaningfully for me. I have loved fireworks since I was little, but in the US we can only enjoy them once a year really. However, it was always my favorite part of the 4th of July picnics that my family would host. Each year, they got bigger and better, but honestly, once I…

  • While some people choose to go into a sauna to sweat out 😥 the toxins in their body, the summers in Japan 🇯🇵 work just about the same when you step out the door. 🏝 The weather has drastically changed from rainy season ☔️ to sweaty season 😓. Although I don’t feel that it is that hot in terms of temperature, the humidity makes the 91 degree F into something in the hundreds…

  • Although I am due to post some full write-ups of my trip to Mongolia with my mother, I thought that I would post at least something just to get myself back into the swing of things. Time goes so quickly that I was shocked 🙀 and dramatically dismayed 😫 to see that my last post was almost a month ago! There are a number of topics for me to cover, but I’ll start…

  • The summer has started off slowly this year, for which I am extremely grateful. The humidity has brought about some interesting skin conditions (I’ll spare the details), but the nice thing is that the nature around us could be enjoyed more. I love the sunny days and try to take advantage when I can. These are just a few images of those moments. 😀 ~T 😀

  • Tomorrow marks my 43rd birthday. In Korea, I guess I would be 44 as they count the nine months of gestation as the first year of life. I generally don’t enjoy celebrating or making a big fuss of my birthday (except for the big ones), but I never say no to a good party. 😉 In truth, it doesn’t matter much how old I am anymore. Some ladies and I joke that we…

  • I feel anxious. I feel happy. I feel old. I feel in love. I feel tired. I feel loved. I feel alone. I feel content. I feel stressed. I feel vibrant. I feel worried. I feel joyful. I feel bored. I feel peaceful. How can I feel all these things at once? The minimizing answer is that I am a woman. The avoidance response is that I am human. The truth… there does…
