Scary Boo & Thrills!


About a week ago, it was Halloween and as we all know, it is the scariest time of the year. Boo!👻 From ghouls to monsters to haunted attractions, there are always mysteries that lie ahead. This is a time, where many of us push ourselves out of our comfort zone by trying something completely new and scary. Some people pay to go to a haunted attraction and others may watch scary movies with their eyes closed. Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we put ourselves through the most scariest things during Halloween? I can tell you why! 😊We get a thrill from overcoming our fear. By walking through a haunted house alive or by watching an entire scary movie without closing our eyes, it makes us excited once it is all over. For Halloween, we face all the scariness that comes with this holiday and this is how we should face our life.😏

In life, there will always be scary moments and sometimes we may not want to face them, but we have to learn how to overcome our fears. Remember, "fear is temporary, regret is forever." We may be too nervous, too shy or just even scared to jump at the chance to face our fears, but would you rather try to overcome your fear or live your entire life wondering what if? When I got my acceptance into the pageant, I was freaked out to commit and say yes, but I knew if I didn't say yes I would regret my decision for the rest of my life. But imagine, if you overcame those scary moments you would get such a thrill like you do during Halloween! 😁😄

With some friends, facing our fear at the Eastern State Penitentiary for Halloween!😅


Today marks exactly 3 weeks away from the Miss PA USA pageant! Wow! Time has flown by? I can't believe that it has been 5 months since I got accepted to compete in the pageant.

Trust me, I am nervous and anxious. A part of me thinks I may trip when I get on stage lol. But I know that once the pageant is all over, I will get a thrill for conquering a goal that many people may not have the opportunity to complete.

In exactly 3 weeks, I will be faced with panelist for my personal interview.

 In exactly 3 weeks, I will be strutting in my swimsuit that I just brought this weekend.

 In exactly 3 weeks, I will be walking elegantly across the stage with my red carpet evening gown.

 In exactly 3 weeks, I will overcome my fear of competing for the Miss PA USA pageant!

In exactly 3 weeks, everything will be different. I may or may not win. I may or may not placed and that is okay. Overall, I know I accomplished something so much greater than winning. I have gained the courage to do a pageant that many people are too nervous to try. 😆 Next time, you have the chance to overcome your fear, jump and just do it!

Throughout these past couple of weeks, I've struggle with writing my blog and everything else. 🙁 As the pageant is only a couple of months away, you would think I would be determine more than ever to compete? Right? Unfortunately, it hasn't been feeling like that lately. It is interesting how everything is interconnected. At my job, I am a consultant and as a consultant, you are always looking for your next project, but it can take some time to find it. So recently, I was on the bench for a couple of weeks and I did enjoy it at first, but it started to drag on. Being on the bench can be plain boring because you are not really putting your knowledge to good use. (At least that is the way I see it, some may disagree) On the bench, I was proactively looking for my next role, but I was getting no responses so I started loosing hope in trying to find my next role. Weeks and weeks would past by and I still had nothing.😢 Looking back, I didn't realize how much work affect

Vulnerability is Dope!...... said by Jiggy Yoon

Thank you for joining me again for another blog. Sorry for the delay in posting this one. I appreciate every viewer who looks forward to my weekly blogs. 😀I wouldn’t be telling my story if it weren’t for all of you. You all push me to expand my horizons and write my story. (I know I am not the best writer, but I am trying lol)😃 This blog is going to be a little different compared to some of the others I have written in the past. I want to give a shout out to one of my good friends Jiggy Yoon.  As a motivational speaker, she encourages people to be vulnerable. Her most powerful message is “ Vulnerability is Dope. ” 👍 When I first heard Jiggy’s message “Vulnerability is Dope,” it made me realize that as a society we need to embrace vulnerability more. People view vulnerability as a weakness, when in reality, it is a strength . Sometimes it is hard to allow ourselves to be vulnerable. " Vulnerability is Dope" shirt from Jiggy Yoon. As I embark on this jo

Hello everyone!! 😃 Thank you for joining me on this journey to Miss PA! I hope you are all able to read my weekly post! I think this is a great way for people to know my personal experience with this pageant. Some people may think this is all roses and rainbows, but it is so much more than that. There are some bumps along the road. So if you are interested in hearing about my journey to Miss PA, you are in the right spot! Continue reading..... Many times individuals focus on the destination of their goal, but not the journey. I want to change that mentality and focus on this new and challenging journey. The reason I created this blog is to hopefully inspire some one out there to follow their dreams. I want you all to know that following your dreams can lead to some bumps, but you have to overcome those and look at the bigger picture. My favorite quote of all times is "For every thunderstorm, there is a beautiful rainbow." Who would have ever thought that I would b
