Getting things off my chest.

When someone breaks up with you, it should be you timeline and conditions on when you can be friends again. I am slightly bitter at my ex who emotionally and mentally messed me up pretty good, breaks up with me, cuts me out of her life then out of the blue text and calls to see how I am doing. Keep in mind, after all that we had gone through, I really feel as though we don't know who each other are and the person I started dating just suddenly vanished.

Asian Americans Saving a Bigger Portion of their Retirement Salary

By Linda I am a member of Generation Y, also known as the Millennials (those born between 1980 and 1995, or thereabouts).

PNOY Apparel Proves That Lolo is More of a Badass Than You’ll EVER Be

We get links to Asian American-owned clothing companies all the time — no, seriously, all the time — but it’s this splash page from San Diego based PNOY Apparel that won me over. Man, why can’t we get awesome jackets? If my dad ever gets me anything when he returns from Taiwan, it’s sportswear with [...]
