My 2nd It

This page was sitting here for about a year. This page was blank, but the memories were still there. A lot has changed over the past year, but the emptiness is still there. A lot of "what ifs" and reminders of what "could've been". I miss the joy when we shared the news and their embrace that could've been. I miss my baby even though it was too early to even call It a baby. A fetus is what the doctors would call It, not a baby. A baby is what the anti-abortion or pro-life activists would call It. I'm actually pro-choice, but a fetus is what I won't call It. I'm still grieving over a life that never happened. I can't disconnect from the strong heartbeat that I witnessed at 8 weeks like It never happened. I can't forget the feeling of emptiness when It exited my body and all the blood stained my memory. I hate that I feel it was my fault, but I try to bury It in my memory. I hate calling it "It" but I never got to fin

Get back on that saddle!

It has been 5 months since the beginning of the year and I have little to show. In January, I made new year resolutions just like everyone else. But at the time I was thinking that I wasn't going to be like everyone else because I was a new graduate of my Bachelors in Psychology and I was going to have more time to do everything I wasn't able to do when I was in school. Truth be told that it wasn't what I expected.  I saw myself, at this time of the year, at least  15 lbs lighter, running a half marathon, training in an administrative professional technical (APT) position, earning more than enough to pay for my everyday expenses, planning to own a home in the next 5 years, and starting a family with Richard. Okay...maybe the last three was a little too much, but I felt like I could tackle on the world and as long as I had my head on straight and my motivation to the roof, I could accomplish anything! You can see where this is going...I didn't reach ANY of my goals s

My Guilty Pleasure

The people who know me know that my guilty pleasure is...ice cream. I love ice cream. I can have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I could. It's the creamy, velvety, crunchy, cool taste that keeps wanting more. I loved eating ice cream when I lived in Oregon because when it was below 30 degrees, the ice cream would never melt. So, if you ever want to win my heart, buy me ice cream.

Earliest Childhood Memory

There are many childhood memories that I have, but I will have to think which one is my earliest. I remember when I first got my white and pink colored roller skates. I was so happy and excited, but I didn't know how to tie my shoes yet, so every time I wanted to ride them I would find someone to tie them for me. I mostly remember Grandpa Yoro doing it. He would sit in his rocking chair and I would sit on the floor facing him with my feet propped at the edge of the chair between his legs. He would reach over to the laces and carefully tie my laces. I think maybe at one point he tried to teach me, but I didn't get it. I remember it being a routine to ask Grandpa to tied my laces, he always did it. For the longest time, I only rode the skates in the house because I was afraid of slipping on the concrete or hard floor. It was only years later when we moved to Kapolei that I started learning to ride on the hard floor. I miss you Grandpa. He was my first heartbreak when he passed aw

Meaning of My Blog Name

Day 3 challenge topic is actually supposed to be "Meaning of My Business Name", but I changed business to blog because I don't have a business. I don't have, what most call, a business mind . I'm not very innovative and I give up easily. Wow, I didn't realize how negative I sound. I don't like that about me, it's something I'm working on. So, I take back all the negative shit I just said and instead I'll say that I can have a business mind if I was up to it, but right now is not the right time in my life to think that way since I'm completing my last semester at University of Hawaii - West O'ahu. Maybe after my graduation, I'll think of challenging myself with some kind of business. My blog name is "I am Tiffany Kasoga" and I explained it a bit on my first blog post on the reason I chose this name. I was inspired by the MTV show Awkward  and the main character on the show narrated the scenes as if she was writing on her

31 Day Blog Challenge: Introduction

Aloha, I was scrolling through my Pinterest for some ideas to write about on my blog. I found links for beginners or for those who want to make blogging a career. I want to blog for fun, or as a vehicle to relieve stress. I also want to get better at writing in general. I'm okay, but I tend to be very impatient and I noticed that patience is key when it comes to writing something good. But, I'm also not here to be perfect, rather, just get my brain thinking. I also write in a journal, but writing takes so long. I'm working on my patience, just give me time. So, here is to the start of my blogging journey!
