Where I Fit In

I left Korea several months ago. All the good and the bad are physically behind me now. Behind me also, a culture of hyper-conservative appearance draped over a very complicated attitude towards sexua

Discovery: Spokesperson

I've written about George Takei before, and he's back again with a less jokey bit of outreach. Recently, he's reposted a video highlighting the struggles that large-busted women face. His page reaches

CurvyHK is my platform for discussing the intersection of Curvy and HK, and my revelations about physical health, body image, and beauty that have stemmed from studying that intersection. Then it got

I've done several of the hair-removal methods. Shaving, check. Giant raised follicles and stubble-like results, check. Epilator, check. Pretty good, actually. Still using my first epilator that I boug

A Look Back, and A Look Inside

I came to Korea over three years ago. I began to play Ultimate Frisbee and a half years ago.   I learned to chase 175 grams of hope in a disc. In the middle of my chase, I saw a guy. I talked to the g

Running and Walking

Dear Boy. It was your fault. Not all of it, but a lot of it. It was your actions, your face, your personality, your smiles, your apologetic frowns, your loaded sighs, and your timing that sent me into

I Miss Wisdom

I can identify a lot of reasons why my city is no longer the fluffy glowing greatness it used to be for my emotions. The city itself hasn't changed much. It has the same great restaurants, the same ad

Joss Whedon’s Found Families

Safe Places

I've been having problems. Lots of problems. Solvable problems. I haven't solved them. I'm struggling. With anxiety, and with depression. For the past several months, I've been suffering panic attacks

I grew up in a very hybrid household. I think that's the right word for it. Chinese/Hong Kong-based family with increasing influences of American and Western ideas and attitudes as my brother and I gr
