STORY
Stacia (nick-named Stace) is a international student obtaining her BA in San Francisco.
She is an Indonesian-born Chinese who grew up in Singapore, and has a family who loves to travel and likes to carry her around in their baggages throughout her life.
Her mother collects miniature landmarks from the places she has been throughout the world, which are just adorable.
Stacia also reads, a lot. Like Matilda does.
As a kid and teenager she loves to carry around novels with her, along with her fun-loving, on-and-off nerdy, East-Asian culture fanatic best friend, Cattalina (nick-named Cat), who currently resides in Australia.

A FOREIGNER'S LANGUAGE USAGE IN CROSS-CULTURALISM
Growing up in Singapore, Stacia is literate in English as First Language, native Bahasa Indonesia, Mandarin Chinese, and Beginner's Japanese. She looks forward to learning Korean too, because she thinks Korean guys are hot. Especially those in K-dramas. She gets sexcited everytime she sees hot guys, so she runs to remain cool.
BoA teaches how to speak Korean to say some useful daily expressions, including "That's hot."

She also has her own Web site that she manages, where she develops her fictional character which she uses to illustrate her life. It is her storyteller's nature, her writer's voice, Ai, who has The Pink Sleeves on at all times.
The Pink Sleeves are her friendly face. It’s the heart she puts on her sleeves for the people she recognizes and relates to.
And she relates to heroic, fictional characters and recognizes real, larger-than-life personalities, all serving as role models for her.

As a Mass Communications student, she reads the headlines everyday, mostly by text.
Daily, she deals with facts. Often, she daydreams in fiction.
It is through reading and writing that she found a way to practice the New Journalism (see wiki), as American author/journalist Tom Wolfe coined during the late 17th century, by injecting personal opinions subjective to the writer, and has taken away the objectivity of traditional journalism.
This blog is aimed to create a breeding ground for her personal voice.
I thought I was clever enough to write as well as these people and I didn't realize that there is something called originality and your own voice. - Amy Tan

Tyra Banks teaches Larry King how to 'smize', smiling with the eyes.
She calls it The Pink Sleeves to resemble a positive attitude. On one hand she recognizes real, professional people who are well-informed, offers insightful opinions, and are true to their words. On the other hand, she can relate to long-living fictional characters that are inspirational to her, and to many other readers of course.

And lots of men, too.
And that's a fact.
Barbara Walters interviews Ellen Degeneers
But most of all, her own mother, whom she cannot thank enough or say thousands of sorry to...
...and the beautiful mother of God, whom she can say thousands of sorry to, but still not enough thanks. (Read her article, The Good News, a feature for the Holy Trinity Community).
THE BREEDING GROUND
That said, this blog is for her personal and professional growth as a woman, going on a journey to confine her writer's voice, Ai, with her, no matter where she goes with her passions.
Because someday, like a pupae who's dying to unleash her soul into a butterfly, she wants to be a creative writer, a philanthropic speaker, and a good wife of a dedicated husband. And sexcited too.

Here you'll find notes and musings on the everyday happenings, and also fictional stories to keep yourself amused. So stay tuned!
I simply fly, with Ai.
