I came home to a living room full of golden pretty decorations :)
My sisters bought me a birthday cake last week and I genuinely had the hardest time coming up with a birthday wish because life is so good to me right now. Since quitting IBM and moving home to Seattle, I have slowly evolved back to my cheery, giddy self. I was never meant to be in SF or IBM, but I’m so glad I went out there to realize it for myself. Now that I’m back, my heart is so full and I feel so whole again. Thank you to all of my family, friends, and boyfriend for making me who I am :,)

To celebrate 23 years of life, I thought I'd share 23 fun facts about myself. 
​
  1. I have 4 sisters and I am the exact middle child.
  2. I'm 4'11" tall.
  3. I went to Mandarin school for about 10 years, but still can't speak it...​
  4. I grew up learning Cantonese and Vietnamese simultaneously. 
  5. I was born in Vietnam, but I'm not ethnically Vietnamese.
  6. Brian and I have been dating since we were 14 years old. 
  7. Brian claims that we met in the lunch line when we were in 7th grade.
  8. My favorite genre of shows is crime/thriller.
  9. I prefer a view with a lake/ocean over a view with mountain.
  10. I have never read or watched a full Harry Potter movie.
  11. I believe in spirits. 
  12. I easily absorb other peoples' energies.
  13. I'm a sucker for chocolates and bubble tea.
  14. I love interior design and wish I had more canvas to work with.
  15. I actually really like cooking, but don't do it enough. 
  16. I choose happiness over everything. 
  17. Besides the USA, I've traveled to 9 countries. My international adventures began in 2012.
  18. I once went on a 3-week long backpacking trip without fully understanding what "backpacking" entailed...I didn't shower for 3 weeks...
  19. I actually like the rain; just not long-lasting gloomy weather.
  20. My closest friends are from middle school. 
  21. I grew up in Seattle all of my life, but lived in different neighborhoods including Georgetown, North Beacon Hill, and South Beacon Hill.
  22. One of my secret smoothie ingredients is fresh ginger.
  23. My biggest fear is loneliness.
