THROUGH THE BROWN EYES OF A CANADIAN-KOREAN WOMAN
Some people like to say “who knows what?!” And I know for sure that a close friend of mine loves to say that. As if it’s a set phrase for everything. “Who knows what life will bring you”, “who knows what will happen next?”, “Who knows?” etc etc. I think I was always the one who said in reply “God knows.” Yeap. God knows. God knows that I went through
I have been homesick for quite a long time now. I haven’t been back home since.. I don’t even remember. I think it was when I gave birth to Andrea… Then right after we came to Korea we flew straight to Singapore. So probably 2015. Although my parents don’t live at this house anymore and since my brother has moved to Coquitlam. I don’t have any connections or attachments to
I have been a Brand Consultant for more than 10 years now but for the past year, I have just lived the life of an English Teacher. Not just your typical English teacher who teaches kids and adults but an English teacher who focuses on adults. Mainly teaching speech and communication in English.

Seems like it was just yesterday when the kids started school. Now it’s summer vacation and they are literally just fighting all day. I feel like I have to drink 5 cups of coffee to keep my metality stable. Thanks to the new Nespresso ice capsules I’m full of “coffee stock”!

I love it when Kaden just goes out and surprises me with a random gift. I also love it when the gift is something I really needed. Just like these apple airpods. I was thinking of getting them cause I knew I was the only person in this world who took out a long line of earphones to untangle. If I’m out it would be so weird to be in
To this day, although it’s been almost a year since we’ve moved here. I still have trouble call this location home. I still have trouble calling this house home. Don’t get me wrong, I love our apartment and the complex. It’s so beautiful that it reminds me of Singapore sometimes and sometimes I am very thankful for all the beauty that it has. However, the house, the apartment unit that
I don’t know my path. I honestly don’t know what God has to offer for me in this life. I still don’t know and I am unsure of all the things that he might have planned for me. I do not know if the path and the road that I am walking right now is the right path for me. I do not know if this is the correct thing
It’s that time of the year again when I have to get my hair done and get it trimmed. This time was a bit different though. I hadn’t gone in a really long time and I wanted some dramatic changes to my hair. It had grown out a lot and I knew wanted something bright and something to really just mentally also boost me up. I wanted more highlights this
When you live abroad and all your friends are back at home (for me in Vancouver BC Canada) you go through many ups and downs that make you miss your friends. It’s times like this that help me get through life and it’s times like these that help me stand up again. As me, as Vicky Hong.
