Share Your World – Week of May 3, 2021
Would you rather be a super nice person and be depressed all your life, or be happy and a total *sshole? (Credit goes to Cyranny for this question, aired on one of her “Cyranny’s Quickies” posts.)
#AtoZChallenge 2021 Reflection
It’s hard to believe April is done, isn’t it? Another month wrapped in 2021. Soon, May will be over and then June, July…and before anyone can say another word, it would be time once again to put out those pumpkins and sitting by the door anticipating trick or treaters.
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #146: Focusing on the Details
This week, for Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #146, Patti has challenged everyone to focus on the details.
#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Zealous
I have been called a lot of things – mean, impatient, stubborn – but zealous isn’t one of them and upon reflecting, I have come to feel I can be zealous sometimes but a lot of the times, that zealousness got masked for impatience.
#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Yinglan
Whenever someone asks, “How do you pronounce your name?”, I would often tell them, “The ‘Y’ is silent and ‘lan’ is pronounced like Lana without the ‘a’ at the end.” Some will still say it wrong and it drives me absolutely off the wall. It really isn’t that hard.
#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Xenodochial
According to this website, when someone says, “Oh, you’re a xenodochial,” it means you’re someone who’s friendly to strangers. I didn’t even know this word existed. I looked it up on dictionary.com, no such word.

Which would you rather throw away: Love or Money?
#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am a Worrywart
For a naively optimistic person, I worry a lot and about lots of things.
#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I have a Vivid Imagination
“I dreamt you were an ax murderer,” I told my mom once. I think I was around eight or nine. She had immigrated to the U.S and began calling me every weekend. She laughed and I could feel her rolling her eyes on the other end of the line. To this day, she still reminded…
Lens-Artists Challenge #145: Getting to Know You
This week, on Lens-Artists Challenge #145, guest host Scillagrace challenged everyone with the topic of Getting to Know You.
#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am an Underdog
Some people are meant to lead. Some are meant to follow. I am and have always been a follower aka an underdog. I wrote about this in this 2016 post and nothing will ever change that, not my mom, not my aunt, not even Toastmasters.
#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Tolerant
Having been raised by my mom and her family most of my life, I often call myself the black sheep of her family.
#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Sentimental
Are hoarders sentimentalists? I think they are and it’s the reason why they often struggle to get rid of stuff. When my grandpa passed away in 2015, his home office was at last unveiled to the family. His home office has been a mystery for as long as I can remember. I think I might…
#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am a Rebel
Believe me when I say this, I did not used to be a rebel. I was a goody-two-shoes who did everything I was asked to do and please my mom was my life until…
Share Your World – Week of April 19, 2021
What was the last TV show you binge-watched? If you don’t watch TV (congratulations by the way) what’s the last thing you binged ON?
#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Quiet
I may seem quiet on the outside but really, I am just an awkward conversationalist with a vivid imagination and a loud mind.
#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am out to Prove myself
When I got my mountain bike about a month ago, when I was assembling it, my aunt came over and said, “Just sell it already, get some cash back.”
Lens-Artists Challenge #144: Taking Flight
This week, on Lens-Artists Challenge #144, Tina has challenged us with the topic of “Taking flight.”
#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I Often Over-Analyze
Life is but a never-ending chess match. One wrong move and you might lose.
#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I have Nyctophobia
I have Nyctophobia. It’s another word for an irrational fear of night or darkness. My brain and heart are fighting each other on this. My brain says this is an irrational fear but brain, can you please tell that to my heart when it’s thudding like a high-rhythmic beating drum when I’m in the dark?
#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Messy
“I have never met anyone messier than you. I don’t know how you can live like this,” my mom would often say.
#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Lack of…
I know I wrote about how I was capable of so many things but really, I’m someone who’s called “Jack of all trades and master of none.”
