Happy New Year's Eve!

Holy shit, where did the year go?
If it wasn't for all these holiday celebrations, I would've thought it's still October or something.

Thanks for everything, 2015.
Looking forward to more growth and accomplishments in 2016.
And of course, grateful for the basics:  friends&family, a roof over my head, food in my (fat) belly, and a little bit of moolah here and there.

The Light Bulb is On: What I Want for 28

It's past 3 in the morning, on August 2nd. I'm pretty much 28. There's something about being awake & coherent this late at night that feels... Very sobering. One good friend loves to ask "what are the highs and the lows?" when embarking upon another year of life. A "high" of mine was moving to Oregon for a great work opportunity.

I want to be a goal setter. Another good friend of mine made a post on her social media, saying it's good to set personal and professio...

It always amazes and frustrates me how gaining weight and accumulating debt have the same base behaviors. Onto a clean Spring.

Countdown to 2017

I think it's pretty safe to say that the world is looking forward to 2016 being over. Aside from political affiliation, there are many other current events that have left people devoid of hope (as of late, Carrie Fisher has passed away. RIP you badass, you). So as I have a few days until 2017, I'm trying to reflect on what my goals were, what I actually did, and what I strive for in the future One, it's always good to track things so you have something to look back on. Two, when looking back at accomplishments for the year, I feel it's always a mix of things I actually did/things I never touched on. Or maybe that is me, as I can't commit and follow through on some things by myself. Things I actually did: Starting to save money! Moving was a good step Bought stock (thank you, job) Actually took some time off for my own staycation to explore my new hood Went somewhere international! You bet I consider a work layover in Japan as accomplishing t...
