Tales: Moving to Italy for 1 Year?

In doing so I can slow down to enjoy my memories and try to recognize when I am creating genuine moments with others that impress upon my soul a feeling of being grounded and true. While this year has been a strange year, I feel comfortable in saying that this strange time we find ourselves in, has made me understand that change is inevitable and that nature would eventually find ways to make us check our human egos at the door.

Tales: Delight in Horror – Part 2

I swear, I will get to my horror movie list shortly, but I still have to explain why I have made this genre mine. This is the last part of the blog so take this as my Ode to Horror.  The first horror movie I truly enjoyed, made me think about what was going on in many of the unspoken scenes and the technicalities of … Continue reading Tales: Delight in Horror – Part 2

Tales: What I’ve Learnt Thus Far…

Ultimately the best lessons I’ve consumed during these months is understanding that the world is a mad place, and it will always be. It will be no madder today than 100 years ago or 100 years from now. Just like everyone else, I march forwards with the crowd until we cannot march anymore, all while coming to various conclusions about ourselves and life, and this is what I’ve learned thus far.

Travel: 7 Days in King’s Landing (Dubrovnik Croatia)

I enjoyed my vacation in Croatia even if it took the Game of Thrones to get me to visit. I must admit I would love to visit this country again, but next time I want to visit the world heritage sites and a few other cities. My experience in Dubrovnik was very positive; the people whether they were Croatians or from neighboring countries are very nice and made this country worth seeing again.

Travel for Food: Krabi Thailand

The first time I ever set foot in Thailand was in 2014 when I visited Bangkok and Krabi. I spent 12 days in the busy capital of Bangkok visiting the MBK shopping center, Floating Market, and shamelessly riding an elephant all while soaking up the hustle of the city. I’d heard stories of Thailand for years, but those were mostly from men who took me … Continue reading Travel for Food: Krabi Thailand

Tales: Rural Lifestyle Foodies

A week or more ago, I highlighted a vlogger from China who made it big by showcasing her talent of making handmade crafts and traditional foods. Her YouTube channel name is 李子柒 Liziqi and her videos range from her making strawberry wine to furniture out of bamboo. Once I subscribed to her, I found that she was not the only Chinese girl on the block … Continue reading Tales: Rural Lifestyle Foodies

Tales: Shame – First Period Story (Part 3)

Almost a year after I started my period a group of nurses came to my high school to conduct a presentation for all the girls.  I remember we gathered in the school library where the entire female student body gathered to observe the presentation.  The presentation started with a brief introduction, then we watched a short clip about puberty and how women across the centuries … Continue reading Tales: Shame – First Period Story (Part 3)

Tales: Shame – First Period Story (Part 2)

One by one girls in my village fell to Eve’s curse.  Many of the girls started their period in the first year of high school.  I started my period on my summer break after I ended second-form which to most Americans and Canadians is known as eighth-grade.  I was lucky enough to start it during my summer break before I returned to school to begin … Continue reading Tales: Shame – First Period Story (Part 2)
