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.

Leadership isn't about being perfect or knowing everything. It's about leading by example. From the workplace to personal relationships, the best leaders don't just tell others what to do—they show them. After all, it's hard to inspire accountability, responsibility, and commitment when you're not willing to practice them yourself.

Being halfway through my 30s feels strange. One moment I’m hopeful and motivated, the next I’m wondering, “When is my turn?” This is a reflection on rebuilding life after setbacks, the pressure of wearing too many hats at work, and why I believe people should be allowed to focus on what they truly do best.

We’re already halfway through 2026 and honestly, life has been moving quietly for me lately. No major highs or devastating lows—just slow progress, healing, and trying to get my life together one step at a time. From clearing debts and reaching my weight goal to hoping for a more motivated June, this month’s WDWN is all about appreciating small wins and peaceful growth.
