off-island state of mind

home is an island.

last time, this year

in February, Zamora and i visited Guam after leaving unexpectedly in august.  it felt familiar but i didn’t quite belong. it was a quick trip to pay our last repects to a close child of our family’s, who we sadly lost to leukemia.  i haven’t quite been able to get my clean slate beginning while so many things are in limbo.

Zamora is the new beginning that i am blessed with in life and if it’ll be just me and my kids for awhile, i’ll take it any day.


i've grown tired of the "this time, last year" reflection. i put the life-changing events that have transpired in the last year into perspective and accept that i am not in an unfavorable predicament. one thing i often fear is regret. it is so easy to say it out loud when deep down inside those haunting doubts make my stomach turn. regret and doubt do not bear the same consequences. regret i have to live with indefinitely and doubts eventually become displaced.  what i have preserved in all this? sanity, freedom, a newfound hope for happiness.

  • about me
      *off-island* refers to the state of being away from the island of guam. you can now follow my spin-off food blog, off-is land influence food refelections

      from my lush homeland to the city by the bay and into the far reaches of the suburbs, i've made my home twice. it was fun in my 20's and even better in my 30's. documenting it all makes me feel important (to myself). here you'll find my multi-tasking adventures with food and the fashionable, my love affair with my dvr, an occasional moment of profound thought, a lot of useless yet laughable ranting, and lately stuff about my life in constant re-arrangement. i'm only fab-ulous because it's in my name.
