Instagram post 2187533660444766611_246380162 Happy Thanksgiving y’all! In past years, we’d always buy everything in a box or premade (chicken from Costco, stovetop stuffing, premade pies, instant mac n cheese). This year @x3trang really wanted to make everything ourselves so we gave it a try. Everything turned out amazing and it was totally worth it even if it meant way more hours spent cooking. Huge props to my lil sis for being head chef while I took chopping duty. Should my sister start a food blog? Yes or yes?

If you’re ever in Oahu and want to see a luau, I highly recommend @chiefsluau! Everyone was so friendly, it was interactive, the show was amazing, and Chief is a fantastic emcee that kept us laughing and also educated us on the culture.

Instagram post 2124436884947342177_246380162 This past weekend I went with my brother (@financeoholic) to the US Open for the first time. We got to see Nadal 🇪🇸!! The venue is gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the weather was perfect. I loveeeee watching professional athletes compete because their dedication to the game physically and mentally is so inspiring ✨

Instagram post 2053077703284061587_246380162 Last week I turned 29 😱! Instead of doing anything big or going anywhere, I had a nice dinner and spent the weekend with my family in Virginia.

When I was young, I thought I’d be married with kids by 25, have a house with a nice yard, and have my own cubicle. I’m not married, I don’t have kids, I can’t see myself buying a house (maybe a condo), and I can’t believe my vision of success back then was to have my own cubicle 😂 (tbh, open offices aren’t great, so I wouldn’t mind my own cubicle now). Maybe I haven’t achieved my old version of success, but what I have now is so much better than what I would’ve ever been able to imagine for myself. I’ve lived in Japan, I live in New York City, I get to travel the world with family, I run marathons, and most importantly, my relationship with my family is the best it’s ever been.

I used to think 29 was old, but it feels like my journey has just begun ☺️
Instagram post 2042569785438693162_246380162 Happy Mother’s Day to the most badass woman in my life. No amount of words can fully portray how much love and respect I have for my mom. My mom has sacrificed so much and worked so hard to raise me into who I am today. When I was a kid, my uncles told me to grow up and marry someone rich. My mom, on the other hand, told me to become rich myself. Don’t worry mom, I’m still working on it.
