Stories, experiences, and feelings in this journey of life.
Here is where I write the things about me, perhaps about the things that I actually wish people to know about me…
Actually, I love driving. I mean, I want to excel at driving the way I feel good at riding a motorcycle. But driving makes me feel stupid. It feels like no matter how careful I am, I’m going to crash and get scolded. It feels like no matter how law abiding I am towards the…
Some time ago a friend of mine said that she hated a person that is too nice. I asked her what she meant by “too nice”. She said it’s like someone who apologized even if it’s actually not her mistake or even if she’s already forgiven, someone who kept saying “thank you” even though “she…
Hi, I have finally decided to write about this. About the story behind my name. Many people have been asking, even my professors did: Why do you sign as jUwa? Why not Siti? Why capital U? Etc. No hard feelings; I seriously take no offense for that, because, well, I know it’s not usual, and…
This might be just another narcissistic act of mine, sending a postcard to myself. Why would you send a postcard to yourself? Don’t you have somebody to send you a postcard? Sending a postcard to yourself looks so pathetic. Don’t you have anything else to do for yourself? Well, I have no idea about what…
The other day my studio apartment manager notified me that they were going to check the air conditioner in each unit. (Well, it’s summer; Tucson’s getting hotter). It’s kind of notifying the residents that if they weren’t home, they would enter the unit. Is it safe? Of course, it’s not as if they’re going to…
I got new sandals! (Or shoes?) Not sure what people call them. But for me, it’s not really shoes, and not really sandals either, so maybe shoe-sandals? 🙈😅 Well, whatever, that’s not what I want to talk about. Hhe Well, actually I had not intended to buy such new shoe-sandals. Let us just say that…
Yesterday I had to go to US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) center for my UK Visa application. Unlike most of visa applications, I did not have to go to Los Angeles for taking my photo and fingeprints. I think that’s because UK embassy cooperates with USCIS as their Application Support Center (ASC) so that…
So, well, I know I’ve been talking about how much I love Lee Dong Wook (hence Wookie) but I haven’t posted about him properly here. Lee Dong Wook is a South Korean Actor. Actually I don’t think he’s that famous, though his fame rose as he played the Grim Reaper in Goblin, a Korean drama….
Do you like postcards? Have you ever sent or received one? Well, I love postcards. I’ve been sending postcards to some friends and I have received a few as well. It makes me happy 😊 Actually, I started sending postcards when I first came to the states. I sent some to friends across the states,…
When I was starting this blog, I told my friend that I was worried and scared that I’d be famous. He laughed. He thought I was joking and just being conceited. But I was serious, deadly serious. Let me tell you why. The reason I started this blog is because my friends have been noticing…
