Option A Option B I'm attempting to revive my blog again and I randomly decided on creating a logo. Here are two options that I have come up with. These are not definite, but some possibilities. I may keep them or trash them. Any thoughts on these two options? Would love to hear your feedback!
#SOL20 Things I’ve Grown to Appreciate During Covid-19
In my head I've reflected about what I've been learning during this Covid-19 time, but I think it's about time that I started to write them down before I quickly forget. There have definitely been highs and lows during Covid-19 and distance learning was not easy. (We are going back to the classroom in about … Continue reading #SOL20 Things I’ve Grown to Appreciate During Covid-19
a dream comes true
One of my dreams for a while has been to get my doctorate. I never thought that it would become a reality as I recognized the rigor, time, and money it takes to achieve that. I didn't think that I could stop work to do that full time and I didn't feel smart enough to … Continue reading a dream comes true
life happens
In the beginning of March, I thought that I could write daily for the Slice of Life Challenge this month than life happened. During difficult and stressful times, it's ok to say no to some things so that you take care of yourself. I was not feeling like I could add any more items to … Continue reading life happens
Slice of life challenge day 2: returning home
Yesterday, I came home from school and saw something small at our doorstep. To my surprise, it was our Starbucks bear (dressed as a penguin) keychain waiting for our return with no note or explanation. I couldn't help but smile that it found it's way back home after a few months in the hands of … Continue reading Slice of life challenge day 2: returning home

Yesterday, I received a message from a former colleague at the international school I used to work at in Korea. Sophie had just flown into Singapore that morning for the AMIS High School Honor Band and Orchestra Festival hosted by my school. She had let me know that one of my old students was there … Continue reading a chance encounter
through my eyes
I was going through my blog the other day and I came across some photos from my older posts, and it made me miss taking photos. It's not that I've stopped taking photos, but I've become more dependent on my iPhone to take photos than my dslr. Also, I was reminded that I need to … Continue reading through my eyes
lunchtime conversations
One of the things that I appreciate about my fifth grade team of teachers is that we find time to eat lunch together. Actually, when I first started working at SAS, my classroom neighbor, Crew, would knock on my door and in his way encourage me to come to lunch with the rest of our … Continue reading lunchtime conversations
wedding customs
One of the most fascinating experiences I've had living abroad has been attending different weddings. It's always so interesting attending weddings in different countries and seeing how similar and different they are. When I lived in Korea, I was surprised by how quick weddings were. Usually the weddings I've been to in the States were … Continue reading wedding customs
