At-Home Try Ons: Warby Parker vs. Classic Specs

I was incorrect in guessing that my glasses frames from Warby Parker hadn’t yet shipped, because they arrived yesterday! Once again, I apologize for my sucky selfies. My favorites are the ones on the top two rows.  🙂 As mentioned in yesterday’s post, I also ordered at-home try on frames from Classic Specs: The frames […]

I Can See Clearly Now

The past two months were some of the roughest of my life. My family and close friends were plagued with various health problems and hospitalizations, two of which resulted in death…and one a stillbirth.  😥 J and I are getting buried in medical bills (did you know what if a hospital stay runs from the […]

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

In the past 6 weeks, my family has had 4 hospital stays. J is actually still in the hospital and has been admitted for over a week. Additionally, the virus I had caught a few weeks back migrated to my left eye. I am still being treated — it hurts to look at screens, to […]

Delusion Angel*

1995. I remember it was my last year in junior high. I remember being awkward and unsure, desperately wanting to fit in, longing to be just like everyone else yet still wanting to leave a unique imprint as a burgeoning adult. I remember sneaking peeks at issues of YM and Seventeen at the school library. And I remember […]

Browser Girls

The comic is pretty funny by itself, but the comments on it are hilariously accurate too! Here’s my favorite: IE10 is like the friend that said he would show up to the party early and bring tons of booze that everyone can have, but shows up 3 hours late with a 40 of king kobra […]

Wishing for Health

I don’t have much time, so I’ll make this quick… Aerin’s surgery on Monday went very well. She is recovering nicely and has been running around like nothing has happened. But that same night, we had to rush J to the E.R. and he has been in the hospital since with a kidney infection. They’re […]

Neglected

Last week, my mother told me something that made me want to lock myself in a dark room and sob like a little girl. You see, Claire had told her, “엄마는 다정이 안좋아해. 엄마는 효정이만 좋아해.” (“Mommy doesn’t like Claire. Mommy only likes Aerin.”) Now, I know that kids often say things they don’t necessarily mean. […]
