My Tween Diary: I’m kind of a Middle School stalker. June 5, 2013. This is my old diary from Middle School. I wrote in it on and off throughout 6th, 7th, and 8th grade (1990-1993). There was so much drama in it…except there really wasn’t any actual. Drama It was dramatic for me at the time. This was during my Kevi-Poo stage. Let m...

some photos and stuff - Always Overthinking It
http://alwaysoverthinkingit.com/some-photos-and-stuff
A lifestyle blog with recipes, crafts and stories about me probably overthinking things. Some photos and stuff. I feel like it’s been so long since I posted consistently. A quick update and apologies if I’ve already mentioned anything:. I’ve been working at a daycare center in the infant room and it’s AWESOME! I was nervous going into the job that I wouldn’t enjoy working with kids as much as I thought I did, but that’s luckily not the case. (The preschool room is another matter.). I finally have a car!

Book Notes: My List for the Year. In a lot of ways, my "new year" begins in August since our family is anchored to the international school system.

Without You, There Is No Us. Twelve Years a Slave. Between Worlds: Essays on Culture and Belonging. The Birth of Korean Cool. The Mortification of Sin. As Soon As I Fell. Go Down, Moses.

A storm?
http://alwaysoverthinkingit.com/storm
A lifestyle blog with recipes, crafts and stories about me probably overthinking things. It rained all day long here and there were some heavy winds, but otherwise it was pretty… disappointing. Apparently our power went out this morning, but I wouldn’t have noticed if B hadn’t gotten up at the butt crack of dawn like he usually does. I rolled over and went back to sleep. I’m so glad tomorrow’s Friday! This entry was posted in life. December 11, 2014. Some photos and stuff. 2 thoughts on “ a storm?

At Home Abroad: Culture
http://athomeabroadblog.blogspot.com/p/culture.html
All In Context: Language, Culture, and Scripture. To see things accurately, we must view them in context. Can I Speak Love in English? When language fails, can I still love people? God is not an American. Do you feel culturally superior? People Are People Everywhere. Not all things are cultural. Rulesand What Our Hearts Beat. Learning and following rules is a must in a foreign culture, but it is your heart change that acclimates you. The (Road) Rage Within. True Cultural Pride (taught by the Thai people).

At Home Abroad: Numbness Makes for Badbyes
http://athomeabroadblog.blogspot.com/2015/05/numbness-makes-for-badbyes.html
Numbness Makes for Badbyes. It's that bittersweet season of goodbyes. I'm losing friends again, and that familiar ache has crept back over my heart. Like a sunburn after a spectacular day at the beach, was it worth the pain? With the memories breaking a smile through the red-hot sadness, I say a resolute "yes." Still, a numbness threatens me. Isn't it easier to block out what's happening? As my puffy eyes fought for sleep last night, I realized that, although I've been staying. Will be my aloe vera.

Diamondscorpio: July 2013
http://www.diamondscorpio.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 27, 2013. The One About a Lot of Things. It's been a while huh? Yeah, it has been a pretty packed month for me. Still is actually. We're observing fasting this month because it's Ramadan and I have to go to classes anyway. Do you KNOW what that means? It means I sleep around 4 am and have to wake up two or three hours later to go to class without having any COFFEE! Why don't I sleep earlier you ask? I mean, you don't want to eat just anything. So I've been making a bunch of different s...
