Welcome Friends and Family to my small corner on the web. I actually copied and paste this from my Welcome page to a blog post just to introduce myself.

First off, I am a terrible blogger. I will start, then life happened and then I would stop blogging. Remember when Xanga was around? Yes I was an avid blogger, then came myspace, and facebook surfaced in the early 2000’s when college students were the only ones allowed to login. I went through these stages of social media. Life happened of course then I would stop for a long time. But since Covid 19 happened and I am temporarily unemployed, being home for over 2 weeks and reading the news can get your mind bottled. Bored and fearing the unknown, your mind will swell up with crazy thoughts. I knew I had to release these thoughts somehow, or else I might hemorrhage, so here I am blogging again. Don’t get me wrong, I actually love to blog. I feel a sense of relief after spilling my brains out. 

I am all over the place, my mind is all over the place. I’m probably dyslexic and have not been diagnosed. I’ll think one thing and write something different. Or have ADHD and not know it. I am ambidextrous, how? Well I am originally a left hander until my mother would slap my left hand silly so that I wouldn’t live in a backward society where only 10% of America is left handed. So of course my right hand was trained to write details. But I still use the scissors with my left hand. So over the years I just use both hands. What does that mean for my brain? I’m using too much of my brain capacity in which I am suppose to be only using 10%, so now it’s at 20% of usage. The other 80% of brain capacity is just useless mush. 

Alright enough of my internal bickering. Back to who I am =)

I am in my mid thirties (I hope I don’t look it). I have a bachelors in Human Nutrition and Food Science. A Masters in Biomedical Science and a Doctorate in Dental Medicine. Before Dental School I was in Pharmacy school for a year, until I realized that it wasn’t for me. I am definitely far from a writer, I can only type down my thougths and of how I feel at the moment. I am currently working in a metropolis city doing what I love, Dentistry. I don’t regret being in college for 10 years, figuring out what it is that I wanted to do as a forever career. I set a goal for myself, that by 30 years old I would officially be done with a doctorate degree and working. 

So a little more about me. I was raised in Hawaii, so you see I definitely have a slight writing and speech impediment. My verbs, nouns, past and present tense are all mixed up. So if my grammar is all over the place, this is why. I am not a writer. So knowing this, during my transition to middle school, my father packed everyone up and moved us to the Mainland. Michigan for a year and then Florida for the rest of my schooling. Boy did I have a fun time blending in. I went from an all Asian and pacific islanders school to an all white school, then to an all black school in Michigan. We only lasted a year in Michigan, unable to cope with the cold, they decided to move to a warmer climate state, Florida. I went to 4 different grade schools, two different middle schools, and 2 different high schools. I was able to adapt with ease. 

My parents were definitely not in the military, they just wanted a better life for all their children. When I say children it’s not 3 or 4 kids, it is 6. Did they not have anything else better to do back then? I guess not. So as the family grew, so did the financial circumstances. Thank goodness I have a strong father figure. Below is my dad with all his girls. My two brothers, somewhere not in the picture. Wait, that’s 7 kids!!!! So before my parents met, they both had their own child, my dad with his daughter and my mom with her son. They knew each other when they were 7 years old back in their home country Vietnam. They both were in an arranged marriage prior to being displaced from the Vietnam war. They both were at a refugee camp in Hong Kong before coming over to America. They met each other in Kansas and fell in love, I can tell you my dad was in Love with her since he was 7 yrs old. They had a love child, and that LOVE child happened to be me.

So what is it that I want for my blog. This will be a place where I will unload my thoughts, my stories, adventures and my creativity. I want it to be resourceful and interesting. Life events I thought that would never happen to me happened. This is the 3rd chapter of my life. My life has been a Korean Drama. No pun intended. 

I finally have the time to write my stories. Until life happens again. LOL
