How would you describe yourself to someone? I’m an INTJ-T (introverted, intuitive, thinking, judging traits and turbulent).  Most of my colleagues will tell you that I’m even keeled and that nothing seems to faze me. I recall there was an active shooter on campus at work and when we were under lockdown, I was nonchalant…

If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be? This is a strange prompt but here we go.  Ever since grade school, I’ve had a tiny obsession with dinosaurs, but what child didn’t? I was particularly interested in the T-Rex because it was the top non-aviating apex predator.  Its shape was peculiar,…

If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go? If we’re going to be egregious, it would be the Four Seasons Seychelles for me.  Give me the helicopter journey, the floating breakfast in the pool, private sunset dinners, paddle boarding or snorkeling in the bluest waters, and being in the open relaxing air…

What’s the story behind your nickname? I have a few nicknames I’ve been given: 로지 보지 – this is self explanatory, my friends used to call me that, mostly because it rhymed and I can be crass hyunnie – a play on my Korean name + honey roro/ro – from Zaddy, who would occasionally call…

I don’t listen to music while I’m at work because I have to be on the lookout for any slight noises with my stethoscope, alarms on pumps, changes in a person’s voice/tone, overhead pages, and whatever the staff or patients are saying. If I’m interacting with young…

What’s your go-to comfort food? I love different cuisines but the one that I keep going back to is sushi or nigiri.  It’s best eaten when I’m happy, sad, or just cause. When I was at uni, I befriended a couple of sushi chefs and they were so happy to have me sample their latest…

What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why? My fav card game is cards against humanity.  It’s so unhinged that I can’t stop laughing thinking about it.  I can’t even explain the game, except that it’s highly inappropriate most of the times.   My fav board game is risk.  It’s a classic and extremely time…

What foods would you like to make? I would love to make decadent foods from places where my friends and I’ve dined at.  Unfortunately, that probably won’t happen any time soon as I am not chef.  One of the most memorable experiences was at Press.   This is where the magic happens.  Although, it’s not a…

Dogs or cats? I love animals…more than people.  They’re loyal and they don’t lie. They were the love(s) of my life.  Miss them so much.

Not a lot bothers me but things like this (see pic) annoys the fuck outta me.  This happened a while ago (at my previous residence) but it still pissed me off.  The audacity. Whoever wrote this does NOT own the streets, there are no designated parking spaces on the street,…

There are new developments and clinical trials trying to prolong life but in the end, everyone dies.  This upcoming election is a cluster fuck.   Newton’s laws of motion.  Yes, all…

Are you seeking security or adventure? Life is about balancing the thrill of adventure with the comfort of security. It’s a delicate dance that requires flexibility and an open mind.  It’s the life I live as a Gemini. As an intellectual adventurer, there’s nothing quite like the rush of discovering new things. My mind is…

If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite? Dead or alive guests: There are so many celebrities I would want to invite, but first of all, I’d invite my late father.  I miss him so much.  Obvi, my mom would be present as well. Secondly,…

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony? I could let go of my pride. I check my ego at work every day. No one is fucking special, we are all on the same playing field and to be honest, I’m really okay with that. It’s rather refreshing. A lot of things…

Describe your most memorable vacation. One of the most memorable vacations I ever had was a trip to Oahu with my mom a couple of years after my dad passed away at the age of forty seven. My mom and I never really saw eye-to-eye; I was always more of a daddy’s little girl, while…

What’s your definition of romantic? This is a loaded question for a Korean. *grin*  The expectations are high and honestly, it’s nearly damn impossible to even achieve K-drama romance with anyone.  The closest I’ve seen it was in the Beckham docuseries.  Le sigh. Being romantic consists of the following: deep physical and psychological attraction writing…
