Traveling has it many perks. One of the things that I enjoy the most is experiencing a new and different culture. One of the most interesting aspects of the Dutch culture that I've seen during my trip is the way the Dutch travel via bikes. Since I first arrived a few days ago, I've been … Continue reading slice of life challenge day #25: the best part

slice of life challenge day #15: the first meeting
My grandmother had 7 children, 16 grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren. Since she lived in NY the past 30 years, she had some great grandchildren in Korea that she never had a chance to meet. A few of her great grandchildren finally had a chance to meet my grandmother at her funeral. One of them, … Continue reading slice of life challenge day #15: the first meeting
slice of life challenge day #14: shoes off
I'm finally back to slicing. I had to take a mini-break from my writing these past few days, due to an unexpected trip to Korea to attend my grandmother's funeral. Now that I'm back home and finally have a free moment to myself, I'm finding comfort in being behind the screen and sharing my story. … Continue reading slice of life challenge day #14: shoes off
slice of life challenge day #7: an incredible woman
I come from a family of writers. My mom loves to write, especially poetry and short stories. Both of my brothers are very talented writers, it comes to them very naturally. There have been a few times where I've asked them to edit my writing, and I remember feeling quite intimidated by what they would … Continue reading slice of life challenge day #7: an incredible woman
slice of life challenge day #6: a baby in paris
I decided to do a #tbt (throw back thursday) slice of life post! On a cold winter day, a red plaid scarf, a pink puffy jacket, and a simple stroller, all waiting eagerly to get their picture sketched. Does anyone remember, a baby in Paris? Artists armed with sharp pencils, line the cobble stone streets, … Continue reading slice of life challenge day #6: a baby in paris
slice of life challenge day #5: a place to call home
When I lived in Korea, I lived in 3 different apartments in the span of 4 years. Part of the perks of being an international school teacher in Asia is that most schools provide housing for you. Another great thing about living in Korea was that the movers will PACK and UNPACK your luggage for … Continue reading slice of life challenge day #5: a place to call home
slice of life challenge day #4: finding joy
Sometimes you just need to take some time to stop and reflect on some of those small moments from the past few days that brought you some extra joy. I received an e-mail from one of my student's parent with her slice of life post. She decided to participate in the challenge along with her … Continue reading slice of life challenge day #4: finding joy
slice of life challenge day #3: about time
I'm a day late again for my post, but I'm going to keep going. Last night, I fell asleep with my laptop next to me on my bed, with my blank blog post for the day open on the screen. All that I had typed in was "slice of life challenge day #3". It has … Continue reading slice of life challenge day #3: about time
slice of life challenge day #2: missed calls
The first thing I do in the morning is usually checking my iphone or pressing the snooze button on my iphone alarm. Today was a Sunday morning, and I woke up on my own a little before 9AM. I always keep my phone on vibrate during the night, so when I checked my phone, I … Continue reading slice of life challenge day #2: missed calls
slice of life challenge day #1: the “f” word
This month, I'm committing to participating in the slice of life challenge for the entire month of March, along with my fifth grade students. It's not an easy task, and seeing how I already missed the first day, you might think that it's not a good sign. However, I was reminded of this TEDxYouth talk … Continue reading slice of life challenge day #1: the “f” word
