Currently: WOWWW!! I'm in New York City. Lol it's a trip to be here. I'm still soaking in all the hustle and bustle, but i think i'm going to enjoy it here. i'm here with great company, and will be busy spending my time with exploring and work. I never thought I'd be here, but i conciously chose new york, because why not. Overall, as I juggle my job, relationships, and new city life, I'm excited to try to be better at some skill and have fun while I'm here. I'm not your typical 25 year old <,< trying to drink and go to bars LOL. Yes i'm so different and special!!!

2024, AUG
Location: Tokyo, JP 🇯🇵
Currently: I'm currently updating this portion of the blog from Tokyo, Japan!!! I'm back in my home country where my parents grew up, showing Ashley around the city. Japan is currently experiencing Typhoon 10. It's an extremely strong typhoon, but we're staying safe and dry. It's been a fun trip so far and I'm glad we're spending time in a place I'm comfortable with. // I've done a lot of reflecting on my life recently. Some moments have been filled with doubts about myself and how I want to move forward in life. I want to settle down and commit to a long-term stay where I can grow a community and work hard to find some fulfillment in my work and craft. It's a bad addiction to keep thinking about the future and how I want to live, so I'm currently taking it day by day to enjoy my time here. That includes shopping, movies, and improving this blog and other things to be ready for what's to come. So grateful for everything that's transpired over the past few months and I'm excited for what's to come. Anyways, watched the Greatest Showman and it was such a great movie with so many layers. Looking to take some time and watch a good movie, documentary, or listen to some good music all month.

2024, JULY
Location: Taipei, TW 🇹🇼
Currently: I'm in Taiwan!!! I'm so excited to be here and see what this place has to offer. I've spent the past two weeks with Ashley and her relatives. We spent the first half with her father's family in Songshan District. We spent the following week going on a 12 person roadtrip (cousins, aunts, uncles included) down to Kenting National Park. Fun family time and was a fun time to meet all the folks. Taiwan is hot and humid, but has some amazing food and great culture. Career wise, I've been interviewing. I made it pretty far into interviews at one place but rejected for not having the right amount of experience. It's tough to be a junior in this market. Tough luck, but I'm confident in my skills so I'll keep on grinding! 2 more weeks in Taiwan and then I'm off to Japan!
