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 […]
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.

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 […]
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 […]
