#SundayStyle #FrockingFabulous with this gorgeous #prettyinpink #Dior embellished silk "Venus" gown. It is of romantic fairytale dreams and even more breathtaking in person. I had the pleasure of seeing this at the Royal Ontario Museum and it took my breath away in the best ways imaginable. ✨🩷🌸🩷✨

A dual culinary delight with a scrumptious cake 🍰 and a delectable food book 📖. Asian bakery cake from Tous La Jour and culinary heritage reads from Atlas Obscura, for the win. Simple pleasures, where a slice of cake and a page from a book, is a taste of heaven.🥰 #caketime #booktime #sundaysweets

I LOVE this plushy chonky pink flying squirrel! They are so cute and absolutely adorable in the best ways. 🩷🐿️🩷

Sending Sunday sunshine smiles with hugs 🤗 and cookies 🍪. 🩷🩷🩷

Three in the morning and I am dabbling on some drawings and watercolors 👩🏻‍🎨, as I have Bob Ross' "Joy Of Painting"🖌️🎨🖼️ streaming in the background, via Twitch. Using it as a means to take it one moment at a time, as I go through the paces. 😌 Watch bobross with me on Twitch! www.twitch.tv/bobross?sr=a

"That's okay, that's okay. " ~Bob Ross The official #BobRoss #JoyOfPainting 🎨 channel is one of my favourites on Twitch. Always a healing experience watching him paint 🖌️. From embracing happy little accidents to loving cool weirdness among artists, he was the best in humanity and in creativity. 🖼️

A Sakura Koi #watercolor #studio set 🎨 that I have been eagerly awaiting for that I had to special order, was ready for pick-up today. Outside of Derwent, Sakura makes some of the best color sets that are portable and I love them. I am looking forward to making Pink Princess #art 🖼️ with this. 👩🏻‍🎨

All tingly with excitement! 🥰 An extra large travel style paint set 🎨 from Sakura that I had to special order was ready for pickup at a local shop and I just couldn't wait. Between this and another set, I am looking forward to the watercolors🖌️ and paper art 🗞️ that I will be making next month. 👩🏻‍🎨

I started working on gingko trees botanical #art 🖌️ and historic Japanese #architecture ⛩️ drawings to create #GhostofYotei #culturalheritage fan art. Excited and nervous, for I have never done anything like before. Looking forward to sharing it in October during Archtober (Architecture October). 🥰

Tonight, a finance bro in private equity asked me to have dinner with him, in hopes of persuading me regarding something important. I adamantly declined, for I would prefer not to eat at the same table as those that make the world burn for profit and amusement. I would say that I chose wisely.

October, November, December. Wishing, hoping, and praying that these next three months are filled with gentleness and healing with love and softness, for myself and others, with all the hugs and cookies. ✨🙏🙏🙏✨

#FashionFriday with a 1950s pink velvet sculpted dress from Madamé Grès. It is beautiful and I would wear it everywhere. To Central Park, to cafés and restaurants, to bookstores and libraries, to museums and art galleries, to train stations. Dress up everyday, for all days are an occasion. ✨🌸💃🏻🌸✨

A late afternoon pick-me-up treat. 😋 On occasion, I have a craving for Culture Pop's soda (the only pre-biotics soda that is tasty and worth drinking.) To my surprise, I was able to find this flavor at a local place, for it is typically very hard to find. Totally hits the spot. 😌 #eatsanddrinks

Up and at 'em in the City That Never Sleeps. 🏙️ Wishing all a good day (or as best as possible). Taking it one step at a time. ✨ Perking up with a taste of home with a cha chan teng breakfast including Hong Kong style tea 🍵 and coffee ☕, as I am prepping to do some reading 📚 and make some art 🎨.

Celebrating being able to be at home tonight for some much needed resting and eating nourishing home cooking on National Cooking Day.👩🏻‍🍳 Curled up on the sofa 🛋️ reading a chapter from Anthony Bourdain 's "World Travel" 📖🌎🌍🌏🧳, as my salmon and vegetables are cooking in the oven. 😌 #NationalCookingDay

Today is a good day for New York City rainbow cookies 🍪🌈🍪 for Afternoon Tea 🍵🫖🍵time. Layers of hibiscus, orange, and matcha infused almond cake with raspberry jam and dark chocolate, cut into bite size cookie bars. 😋

Arting, for healing. 👩🏻‍🎨 I've been finding inspiration in things that I love to create personal artwork 🎨 for bits of joy and happiness ✨. Among those things is gaming 🎮 and I am enchanted by the ginko leaves 🎋 in the upcoming "Ghost of Yotei" game. #art #drawing #ginkoleaf #GhostofYotei #gaming

A series of hand drawn pen and ink drawings ✍🏻 I made in the middle of the night, with inspiration from things that I have seen this past week. •peacock feather (Tiffany glass vase) •hollyhock (community garden) •hibiscus (tea shop) •ginko leaf (Ghost of Yotei) #art #handdrawing #penandiink

Up all night, during witching hour for artists and creatives. 🌃 Grabbed a few items from my art studio area to make a few pen and ink drawings ✍🏻 in bed, as I had Bob Ross' "Joy of Painting" streaming in the background 🎨. Art can work wonders in fortifying and healing the heart and soul. ✨😌✨

Joining Daily Bunny for some late night reading to accompany some late night tea. 📖🍵🌃 #latenight #booktime #teatime

Someone questioned me being a Palliative Care patient, saying my profile didn't match that. First of all, it speaks of knowing little to nothing of what Palliative Care actually is. Also, I don't need to update my profile to say, "chronically ill", "managing pain 365-24-7", and "dying before 50".

Processing a long packed day filled with a lot of good and not so good surprises. Taking it all in stride, as best as possible, one step at a time, one moment at a time. Going to fix myself a pot of hot herbal tea to decompress from everything and to warm up after being in a cold storage archives.

Seeing Monster Hunter Wilds in the Capcom Showcase @capcomusa.com today reminded me of how incredibly delectable and scrumptious the food in the game looks. 🤤👩🏻‍🍳😋 #MHWilds #videogame #gaminglife #foodielife #foodingaming

Today is a good day to teach and celebrate art 🎨, architecture 📐, and design 🖼️ in video gaming 🎮. "Architecture and Video Games: Intersecting Worlds" and "Never Alone: Video Games As Interactive Design" are among some of the best books in the field. 👩🏻‍🏫 #art #architecture #design #science #videogames

Bright sunshine day in New York City today. ☀️🗽🏙️ Got a stack of art, architecture, and design books 📚 and a pile of art supplies 🎨, along with a pot of tea 🫖, with me in studio and library. Taking it one step at a time to build a new foundation for stability for myself, brick by brick 🧱.

Today, my art therapist and I discussed serious concerns about me withdrawing and needing to mitigate the chances of a repeat of having plans to die by suicide. 🥺 I've been taking steps in attending open studio sessions with others, going to museums, and being around other artists and architects. 👩🏻‍🎨

Entering my villain arc, as I am drinking my tea. 🍵🫖🍵 I am at the "I hired an Etsy witch to curse you" stage, but I'm not at the "I partnered up with private equity to destroy you" stage. I may be a villain but I am not a monster.

New York or Nowhere 🥺 I love being in New York City 🥰, but I hate being in America 😔. As an Asian NYC born and raised kid of immigrants,my story is one of millions across this historic city that is the New York Dream and the American Dream,despite what naysayers say and do in these dark times. 🗽🍎🌃

This autistic person is joining the war on autism on the side of autism. I am who I am and what I am. I am not "damaged" or "broken", in need of being "cured" or "handled". I acknowledge my autistic self by celebrating and honoring who I am and what I am. ✨💛✨ #autism

What happened today, is a sign of the times.😔 Hearing Tangerine Terror talk is taking my considerations to leave America for China or wherever I can go for an indefinite period of time from a possibility to a necessity. I am already beyond exhausted and in considerable danger due to circumstances.🥺

Warming up the body and soothing the soul after a walk with a pot of hot roobios tea 🍵 infused with hot apple cider 🍎. 😌

Happy Fall! ✨🍂✨ Wishing all a safe and blessed autumnal season. Particularly my fellow Pokémon peeps. Iykyk. ✨🫶✨

It is Autumn In New York and soon the colors of the season will be here. 🍂🍂🍂 The crispness in the air being gently perfumed with the scent of hot apple cider as I walk through the park is a soft gentle comfort from everything taking place. 😌 Little joys go a long way, more than ever these days. 🥹

Sending love, with softness, to all that needs it. ✨☁️✨ I am taking the small but necessary moments to do this for myself. I am hurting and I am breaking, but with a bit of gentleness and a whole lot of self-care, someway and somehow, I will manage. ✨🩷✨

Taking it as a sign to remind myself that I too am a precious thing. ✨🥹✨

Take-away 🥡 from Lucky Mao, a Chinese restaurant based in New York City that makes signature staple dishes and in-house Asian flavor beverages. I got their General Tso's chicken with fried rice, two mini veggie spring rolls (came with the entree), and a bottle of lychee hibiscus tea 🌺. #nyceats

Another day in NYC, the City That Never Sleeps 🌃 . Went out for a walk to pick up my take-away 🥡. Being up to burn the midnight oil for another en charette round 🎨📐✍️ and needing a taste of home comfort eats 🥢🍚🍵 meant treating myself to some delicious eats from Lucky Mao. #nyceats

The 21st of September with Earth, Wind, and Fire. A time honored tradition that we all know and love. ✨✨✨ "Do you remember The 21st night of September? Love was changin' the minds of pretenders While chasin' the clouds away" 🎶🎶🎶

Enjoying the nice weather on an early fall day, as I am deep in my thoughts. Trying not to give into urges to withdraw from everyone and everything, as I deal with everything, including struggling to hold on to hope. There is a lot to be sad about. Despite that, this is a lot to be happy for too.

Thinking about a lot, as I am walking in the park for my well-being. As an autistic person who could have easily died from suicide four years ago, I am aware of the statistics that those with autism are nine times more likely to die by their own hand. I am trying my best to avoid that, as my end.

Looking out at the skyline, as the sun is shining. Thinking, as I try to find new ground to steadily stand on. Throwing out rescue flags that will never be seen...Holding on to hope while there is miasma of misery in the air... May I find some semblance of joy to hold on to, so I may want to stay.

Sitting on the rooftop, as I look out at the New York City skyline at night 🌃. Thinking about much and reflecting on everything, as I see the lights from beloved buildings luminate the night sky. I've seen a lot, done a lot, and been through a lot. The question now is if I have any more to give. 🥺

I once heard, "Talk about your grief so you want to stay." 🥺 I am processing many forms of grief in multitudes that are being compounded with the pain of being abandoned by others I felt safe with when I needed them the most. I don't know what to do. Hope for the best and try to stay, I suppose. 🥹

Another day and another week is here...and I am here. Contemplating, deep in thought with a pot of tea. 🫖 Taking it one step at a time. 🥺 Going through the motions of focusing on taking care of myself for my own sake and having bits of joy for the sake of wanting to stay. 🥹

Late night chill and dine with the latest episodes of "Bon Appétit, Your Majesty" 👩🏻‍🍳 and "The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity" 🌸 that dropped today, with hot soy milk 🥛, mango ginger white tea 🍵, and pork and cabbage dumplings soup 🥣. #BonAppétitYourMajesty #TheFragrantFlowerBloomsWithDignity

Pink 🩷 and Red ❤️ #SundayStyle homage to old Hollywood red carpet glamour with #LISA (Lever Couture) and #SelenaGomez (Louis Vuitton) at the #Emmys. These two were among my favorite looks of the night. Completely different in artistry, design,and craftsmanship,but just as beautiful and stunning. ✨✨✨

Typo during sexting like, "I want you to duck me."

A hug can go a long way...and I sure could do with one. Sending hugs with love to everyone that could use one.

Truths.
