Another year around the ☀️ for this Pisces ♓

Another year around the ☀️ for this Pisces ♓️

If I can say that I lived the way I wanted — ate delicious foods, spent time with my loved ones, satisfied my wandering soul, expressed my soft, creative heart, let myself grow expansively— then I can say it was a year well spent.

Cheers to working towards an entire lifetime well spent 🥂 and cheers to the people who made it a special one with their kind words, wishes and presence 😘😘😘

My first blog post about Croatia is here 🎉

Of course it had to be about the restaurant with the most scandalous name + the best view of all of Dubrovnik’s Old Town — Lady Pi-Pi.

Watch till the end to see where Lady Pi-Pi got its name 😜 And check out the blog post on teriakitalks.com (link in bio).

Gong hei fat choy! Prior to my work holiday party

Gong hei fat choy!

Prior to my work holiday party, I had never worn a cheongsam in my life. Also known as a qipao, it's a Chinese "long dress" that originated in 1920s Shanghai (where my dad's fam is from).

I'd always wanted to wear a cheongsam but I didn't want to look "too Chinese." What does that even mean? I *am* Chinese and...so why did I subconsciously shy away from *looking* it?

I could attribute it to wanting to fit in to the predominantly white community that I grew up in, but the truth is that you get a lot of weird shit when you're Asian and even more when you look it.

You lose subjectivity. You become a symbol; a monolith. People feel more entitled to touch you, use racial pickup lines on Hinge, trap you into conversation about that one ex they had that was Asian 🙄 or worse, tell you about all the things they dislike about Asian women in general. True story.

2022 was the Year of the Tiger 🐅— intense, unapologetic, action-packed Tiger year (and my "Ben Ming Nian" or my zodiac year). I leaned in to my Asian-ness; bore it loud and proud, almost defiantly so. The #YearoftheRabbit 🐇 promises a gentler 2023, where I hope to find calm, peace and acceptance (without a razor's edge).

Make sure you go eat ALL the dumplings 🥟 (for wealth), longevity noodles 🍜 (for good fortune) and Peking duck 🦆 (for loyalty)! Also make sure you have time to take a nap after...
