I turned 35 with no big expectations—just gratitude for another year of life. From heartfelt birthday wishes and delicious meals to horror movies and quiet reflection, this birthday reminded me that growing older isn't about having everything figured out. It's about appreciating genuine connections, embracing the unknown, and hoping the years ahead will be kinder than the ones behind.

How many times can a person restart their life before they begin questioning themselves? This is a reflection on trying again, choosing between well-being and financial stability, and wondering whether starting over is a sign of weakness—or an act of courage.

July has always been my month, but this year it also marks a meaningful midpoint. In this WDWN entry, I reflect on rebuilding my life after one of the most difficult periods I've faced, navigating a new job, celebrating small victories, and embracing the second half of 2026 with gratitude, patience, and hope.

On what would have been my father's 73rd birthday, I find myself reflecting on the day we lost him and the memories he left behind. From his stern but loving nature to a simple piece of advice about Lady Gaga that stayed with me for life, this is a tribute to the man who shaped me in more ways than he probably knew.

After two years of sitting in my drafts, "My First Vlog?" is finally becoming a reality. It may not be a full-fledged vlog yet, but documenting my Lady Gaga Singapore trip and everyday moments has taught me an important lesson: sometimes you don't need to start perfectly—you just need to start.
