The boys finished another year at school and I couldn’t be more proud of them. Ethan managed to get through his year as a minor niner, and did so without any incident or lifetime scaring of any kind… which is more than what I could have hoped for. Ethan was also lucky to get such a great s…
Hot as HELLo
Busy morning! I slept until 7:30 it puts me in a rush to get everything done… meaning I won’t get my toe nails painted until tomorrow! I am thinking black nail polish with colorful flower on big toe?? I biked 40 mins this morning it was hot but not as bad as the past two days. I got my g…
rule #1
For the record, the new 30-day challenge isn’t going quite as well as expected. It should be easy to drink 120 ounces of water a day, but as with other challenges, life gets in the way. Of course I remind myself that if these challenges were easy, they wouldn’t be called challenges would the…

Diary 2.1: Days in Kaiping -Chinese Cultural Experience
It is my second time visiting Kaiping and I would comment it as an ‘unforgettable’ place to me after these five days. My knowledge about this place is just about Diaoliu because of my architectural field trip two years ago. Although they are not aesthetically beautiful at the first sight, it…

Week 2 Diary
Feelings on the stories of “A Newcomers’ Guide to Vancouver” From my perspective, the first two people are certainly Canadian as they are either the next generations of the First Nations or the First people there. Even though they have been there before the real “Vancouver” has been there, t…
Discrimination and paranoia
My parents started belittling me since the day that I was born. With that stupid name they gave me. Paola. My name in real life is Paola, which means “little”. It was used in Ancient Rome for people who were little in stature, at least at the beginning. Then it became a common name. I dislik…
Don’t You Evah
Listening to top 20 Recommend Songs by Google Play for my newest favorite band Spoon. They are out of Austin, which is not why I picked them, even though I LOVE Austin. Mom hooked me up to the Dallas/Denton station 97.1 KXT before she got dementia – a station which plays lots of music from…
They’re cutting me open
I’m going under the knife Friday. It’s the first time I’ve had surgery. Assuming this is successful, let’s hope it’s the last. What’s happening? I’m having my tonsils removed. Yes, tonsils. I’m a really, really bad snorer. (I guess I’m a heroic snorer. I never heard of the term before the ot…
