I am one of Mama's quadruplets. I thought I was the favorite but I was given away. Why me? Why not my other three sisters?

June 28, 2019 Since becoming a vegan on February 8, 2019, I have lost a total of 12 kgs. It's been almost five months and I am so proud of myself for sticking to this new lifestyle. My husband, family members and friends tease me a lot. My husband was so sure I will eat meat during my eight-day vacation in Manila and I proved him wrong. I rarely wear dresses and skirts because my legs are so fat but I feel more confident now that I have lost weight. I have never lost this much weight in a span of five months. I was a miserable omnivore for 43 years. I owe my health and mental transformation from the documentary What the Health and to all the vegan videos on Youtube. I am so grateful for Netflix. I am so thankful for What the Health. I was completely ignorant about animal cruelty and speciesism. How can I love my dogs and eat animals? Too much pain and violence result to my addiction to animal products. My body suffered too much bad karma for my ignorance. The journey to self-forgiveness takes time. I repent, I make amends to my soul and body every day. It is better late than never. I hope I can inspire you to consider going vegan or even eat less animal products to save yourself, save the environment and save millions of animals who DO NOT DESERVE TO DIE. #govegan

I have been living in and out of Korea since 1999. I got my Korean citizenship in 2003 and it is embarrassing that after living in Korea for so long my fluency in Korean is stagnant at intermediate level. I have many friends who visit Korea three to five times a year because of KPOP and KDRAMA. I never understood the fascination until I watched and fell in love with Gong Yoo in The Goblin. The Goblin is the first Korean drama series I have ever watched from start to finish. Now I push myself to watch Korean movies and other series. I am so overwhelmed by all the Korean series available on Netflix. Pushing myself means being determined to watch the first episode. Usually I give up watching after ten minutes. Now I push myself to finish the first episode and decide if the series is worth watching till the end. I want to tell my stories as autobiographically accurate but I don't want to embarrass my friends and family. I will share good stories and nasty stories. There are still more good people in the world than bad people. But it's a fact that bad tragic stories are more entertaining and interesting. These stories are based on my personal experiences, opinions and realisations. I cannot promise that every chapter is a hundred percent accurate. I have to change names and locations but I can 99% promise the anecdotes will be 95% based on true events.

It was never the coffee or the Frappuccino. It is the siren logo that lures me every time. This addiction gives me more joy than harm. I go to Starbucks almost everyday since I had my first cup in 1997. I collect everything Starbucks. When I travel, I visit as many stores possible. These are the stories of what I have done to get close to the Starbucks siren.

Videos of a real mermaid spotted in South Korea have gone viral. The same mermaid appeared in Scotland speaking of the exact same message. Find out what she said in the videos. Here is my second entry to the National Geographic's #PlanetOrPlastic Writing Contest. There is a statue of a mermaid on the rocky beach of Dongbaek Island in Busan, South Korea. I have seen the statue four times and every time I see it, I feel sadness. When I stare at the mermaid's statue, I imagine the her coming to life and talking to me. I imagine it telling me why she is sad. My story is inspired by that mermaid's sadness.

Betinna is looking for her dog on the beach when she sees a creature buried in the sand. Find out what question the creature asks Betinna. Here is my entry to the National Geographic's #PlanetOrPlastic Writing Contest. This is an allegory of my environmental awareness, negligence and lack of consistency. I promise to do more for our environment because I love my dogs. They are my children and they play a huge part of my future. I promise to bring an eco bag with me at all times and a metal tumbler. Here in Korea, banks, post offices and cellphone retail stores have water dispensers. I can just walk in to refill my tumbler with hot or cold water. What can you promise to save our planet?

I saw a video of Lea Salonga and Il Divo singing A Whole New World on Youtube. I loved it so much I watched it again and again till I memorized all the words. It became a daily ritual for me to watch the video and singing along. Then I got sick. I had pneumonia. I coughed and coughed. I thought I was going to die. I was watching Lea Salonga's videos on my Iphone, when I had a vision. I saw myself and Feb, the guy I am secretly in love with. I saw us kissing. We were in love. We were Italians in the 17th century. How can that be? How is it possible that I lived before? How is it possible that the boy I am secretly in love was in love with me in the past? How could we be in love again in this lifetime?
