'Tis is Thirty!
I cannot believe I am saying goodbye to my 20s and hello to the big 3-0! As I reflect on my 20s, I couldn't believe how blessed I am.
As I celebrate my three decades of existence, I really want to thank and celebrate each of those who help me grow and be where I am today. Many of you know me as a hotelier, but what you didn’t know is my mom was a single mom who had to live and work in Hong Kong for over 10 years to provide for me. She is my rock and I am certain that I wouldn’t be whereI am today, if it wasn't for her and her sacrifices. My grandparents, my aunts, and uncles who guided and took care of me while my mom is away. They are the ones who help mold me. My dad, who loves me and treated me as his own, provided, supported, and showed me the love I never got from my biological father. Cody, who has been my support. I cannot ask for a better partner who loves like you do! My three babies who taught me what unconditional love and patience really mean. All my friends and mentors. I can’t fully express how thankful I am for each and everyone in my life. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!
Here are 10 firsts & things I was able to check off the "things-you're-supposed-to-do-before-you're-thirty" list during my twenties.
At 21, I moved out of the parent's house and bought my first brand new car by myself
Yes, I got married. Twice by the way!
Had a daughter.
Got inked.
Got a dog and kept it for more than a month, more than 3 months, more than a year!
