I wrote this on my 101 goals list about 5 years ago: "help someone NOT commit suicide and get them out of a dark place." I don't know why it felt good at the time, but the opportunity had presented itself. Years ago I met a student who was on fire. She was insecure at... Continue Reading →
As promised, I told you guys that I would do another podcast and blog, and here it is! It's a shame that I stayed just a few days. It has seemed to me that the last few times I've come here, even on those 24-hour layovers -- to the 3-night trip, is not enough. However,... Continue Reading →
When I saw the aircraft arrive an hour early, the thought that it would be delay for 25 minutes didn't cross my mind. However, I was more preoccupied with that unbelievably rambunctious Chinese tour group that was around me. Yes, this is a growing problem in the traveling scape. Are they the younger generation? No.... Continue Reading →
Excited, jubilated, in harmony, bliss, serenity. Baby, I'm going to Singapore. Cathay Pacific right into the new Terminal 4 which houses that new magnificent Jewel? Oh, I'm definitely NOT complaining. Excited, jubilated, in harmony, bliss, serenity. Baby, I'm going to Singapore. Cathay Pacific right into the new Terminal 4 which houses that new magnificent Jewel?... Continue Reading →
Can I just enjoy a holiday without pushing my body to the limit? Just once? When was the last time I did such a thing? Ahhh, when I went to Hong Kong, an unbelievably forgettable trip (sorry, my folks from HK who view my blog -- lol). It was a toss up between Hanoi, a... Continue Reading →
Here we go! The 6th country of the year. Boy, what the hell is going on. To be honest, I'm in a transition phase right now with work, and have been seen the dawn of the New Year. Because this phrase has been ongoing, it requires me to leave the country often because of visa... Continue Reading →
Whew! So much noise, so many things happening, so many decisions to be made. On the cusp of what might possibly be a new job, another one emerged. I'm trying to check and see if these are breadcrumbs and I'm also evaluating every step...but it's hard to determine. Moving onto the next one, part-time jobs... Continue Reading →
Wow. What a journey. I can't be grateful enough for everything that has happened in my life. Honestly, going back to where I was 10 years ago?! In a dying relationship, moving into a new apartment, but three months later, a girl by the name of Satomi Nakagawa came into my life -- urging me... Continue Reading →
Let's point out the obvious, first. It's not the end of the world since the chargers were forgotten. I've already bought an essential traveling charger for both Thailand and traveling, so I think I'm saved. And with that being said, SINGAPORE IS HERE! I woke up excited as hell this morning, but also nervous. Are... Continue Reading →
Yes, you read it right! Because of ridiculous rules at immigration and me just simply not wanting to inject anymore of my hard-earned money into this economy, I decided to take (literally) a one-day trip to Singapore. As you probably already know, I've had several layovers in Singapore because I had to switch to a... Continue Reading →
