settling down
Summary: My thoughts on romantic love and “settling down” as a woman is expected to by age 30, otherwise she is considered a “Leftover Woman” in some cultures. I’ve always placed a high emphasis on relationships, whether familial, platonic, or romantic. As a people-pleaser for most of my life, I […]
we are one
Summary: What current events have taught me, and given me further insights into why I travel. I travel to be educated, to be humbled, to learn, because I know we are one. I don’t want to be stuck in my own bubble of a country. Like many others, I’ve found […]
You have probably heard of Gary Chapman’s “The 5 Love Languages.” What about The 5 ASIAN Love Languages? Disclaimer: This by no means refers to all or even most Asian households. Stereotypes can be exaggerations, but they also often contain some truth. Words of Affirmation are typically lacking in Asian […]

PERMANENT BIRTH CONTROL What is Permanent Birth Control, or Sterilization? Just wanted to make a quick post on this since it is the only birth control so far that is available for BOTH women and men. (There are so many options available for women, but we are still working on […]
body image beautiful bodies

Some are married, some are coupled, and others are just co-parenting. And now there are surrogates, donors, […]

Another piece of the “Dr. Tooni” women’s health project: what to do if you’re having pregnancy contractions, and not sure if it’s real labor or “false labor”/Braxton-Hicks contractions. The difference between “real” contractions and “fake” contractions is, do they cause the cervix (opening of the uterus/womb) to change/dilate? ONLY true […]

As I’ve done more art recently, I decided to expand my “Dr. Tooni” project to include some comics from my experiences as a women’s health provider. It’s your body, so you get to make the choices, not society!! Do something only if it feels good and right TO YOU. Some […]
love every day
My father (an anesthesiologist) has been sick for the past 3 weeks. Fever, fatigue, and a patchy spot in his left lung on chest x-ray. Though he tested negative for COVID-19 twice, we still highly suspect that they are false negatives (the tests are unfortunately not very accurate). He is […]
