Wednesday, November 5, 2014. This past month has been full of emotional ups and downs. Today is a down. Now that all the family I grew up with is gone, I feel like that part of my life is gone as well, as if somehow it has expired or that it never even really existed. My sister's death has affected me more than my mom or dad's. It wasn't supposed to be now, like this. We were supposed to become old and reminisce together about our growing up.

Wednesday, December 31, 2014. I've wanted to go to Japan for the longest time, and I finally made it! But before I get into that. The last couple of months have been emotionally difficult for me, to say the least, as evidenced by my last few blog entries. I'm happy to say that my final blog entry for 2014 will be on an upbeat note, due in a big part to my new hobby, aka passion, aka obsession—geocaching. This was my first time in Japan, besides airport transfers, and the experience was wonderful. I'm...

Monday, June 1, 2015. Some advice on karma. I've had the following newspaper clipping on my refrigerator since 2008, when I brought it from the US to my new home in Taiwan. It's a response to a question posed to advice columnist Carolyn Hax. Why do good when being bad seems to be more rewarding? Do you believe that what goes around comes around? But then the question has to be, do you want that life? So, this is really about how to handle unfairness. If whining made people feel better, the demands fo...
