LIFE BEFORE OMICRON: NYC 2021

LIFE BEFORE OMICRON: NYC 2021

As expected NYC was not as busy as it used to be. There were still lots of crowds, and it is still a melting pot of people, but that was the life I missed so bad- the jungle, the noise, the energy, the life.

When a COVID nurse, gets a COVID.

When a COVID nurse, gets a COVID.

It was around March, when COVID-19 took the whole world by storm and impacted all of our lives; the stocks hit an all time low, the global economy crashed and since then, a new norm started in school, work and worship places. That same month, my workplace became the designated unit for the whole city. [...]

My new found love for succulents

My new found love for succulents

Since the pandemic started, like everyone else, it took a huge toll on my mental health. I found different activities to keep myself busy and to continue balance my work-life routines.

LET ME DO THIS

Spring Days in Korea

Spring Days in Korea

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

When I was in Nursing school, one area of nursing that made a huge impact in my life is my Mental Health rotation. During my rotation in a mental health unit, I was amazed by the hormones and neurotransmitters in our system and how it could affect our feelings and emotions. I've also seen people [...]

BAD BLOOD

BAD BLOOD

You were never my best friend, but you have become a part of my life that I never really wanted to let go. I still have the gifts you have given me; the pictures we have taken since grade school are still hanging on my wall. I would still laugh at the thought of the times [...]

“I’m home.”

“I’m home.”

I think of home, and I’d remember the moist warm rays emitted by the sun. As my sweat slowly pours from my hair, I waved at the man who would take me somewhere to meet the reason which made me come back. I reached for the handle as I sit, looking at how the place [...]

To 2016,

I've reached the deepest part of the sea Held to the point, I almost stumble and fall But in my weakest, I became the strongest For I have You who lifted me up and guided me in ways, I couldn't even imagine I've cried a river every time I fall down Questioned all my philosophies [...]
