2022 will be my year!
New Year, New Me. Sounds so cliché, I know that. But I feel like 2021 was such a great year (At least the second half of it). And it ended with so many opportunities for me to grab in this new year. Let me tell you why I believe 2022 will be my year.

Why am I so proud to be Wasian?
Hi everyone! If you don’t know what Wasian is - Here is a little explanation. Wasian is someone who is Western and Asian. You can also call it Eurasian for some - Mix of European and Asian or like they say in the Philippines ‘Mix Mix’. I am myself a Wasian. My father is French and my mother is Filipina - Or Pinay. And I am so proud of it. Here are some points that make me proud of being who I am.

Living in the UK - Why do I love it?
Hi everyone, if you know me, you might know that I have moved from France to the UK for the first time about 4 years ago. And I love it. I moved back to France for a little bit in between, but nothing could take me away from the UK and I had to move back there. I just love it here. Just so you know, I don't live in London but in Kent (about 45 minutes train to central London). Here are all the things that I love about living in here and why I can't imagine living somewhere else - At least for a while.

ASIAN COOKING - Tips, tricks and ideas
Hello everyone. Here is a little back story about me. As a Wasian (half French, half Pinay), I love Asian food. It is the type of food that makes me feel the most at home. My mom is Filipino, she is the one who raised my sister and me, so we grew up with Asian food. And my dad, although French, lives in China and so whenever I go to China and see him, I have the opportunity to try delicious dishes there too.

ARTISTS MY PARENTS INTRODUCED ME TO WHEN I WAS YOUNG
Did you use to have that when you were younger in school? When you were with your friends, and they had a "Dark Side of the moon' t-shirt, and you were like "oh so you like Pink Floyd??" and they were like "Pink who?" - *Facepalm*. That happened so many times.

Things you know if you're a Wasian
For those who don't know, Wasian stands for White and Asian. If you're like me and you're half white and half Asian, you might see yourself in those points I'm making. And if you have more, please share. Here I am going to share my personal POV as I am half French and half Filipino. But I feel like it would probably work with most Wasians in general.

10 SIGNS YOU WERE RAISED BY A FILIPINO MOTHER
1 - They love cooking. Whenever they have spare time or when they are bored, they will be cooking something, even if it ends up in the freezer for a while. Which is a great thing cause all your friends will come over and enjoy home cooked food. Or sometimes you’d have friends coming over, just for the food ! And the leftovers when they leave your home. They would always leave with a tupperware of food...
