Hi guys! I am sorry I have been so out of the loop for so many months. I have actually been busy writing other companies' blogs that I have not been working on my own (eek!) I know that's actually horrible but that is the truth. Since April, I was working for Agape3, a blogging company that was working with clients Steelcase and Frost Barber, the office furniture companies. However, due to irreconcilable differences, I had to quit and start my own blogging business. I learned a lot from my experience and learned to write much faster than I did. I also learned a lot about blogging with high SEO ranking.
Afterwards, I moved onto Upwork, which is a freelancer platform where you can get blogging jobs for different kinds of clients. I worked with A1AutoTransport, a transporting company that moves cars for people across state. They were a lovely client and I absolutely loved writing for them. I would write for them again if they asked. The next one was KLitReads, a Korean American company that writes about Korean books and authors. I enjoyed working for them also. Now, I work for MemosFromAsia, an Asian American company that writes blogs about Korean culture and trends. I love to write blogs for them about Korean food, Korean culture, movies, books, and dramas. I also work for Talk Carpet, a carpet company that sells luxurious carpets inspired by major brands such as Chanel and Gucci.
Here are some examples that I wrote:

Frost Barber:
Memos From Asia:
Aside from blogging, I also bought some mug printing technology and started making custom mugs! It is super easy and fun and I made a few for my family and friends. I really like making them and am wanting to sell them on Etsy, even though the marketing part is hard. I hope it starts selling soon!
For lockdown phase 2, which was from the first week of December and ongoing, my sister came over and we went to San Diego on two of the weeks to hang out with her while she was coaching ice dancing. We took our dogs and we went to Balboa Park, UTC Westfield which I haven't been to in about 10 years. They remodeled the whole place and it looks super classy. They also have a Sprinkles vending machine.
We also ate some bomb poke bowls and dumplings, and we also stayed in AV a lot because we had a coronavirus scare. My aunt ended up getting Covid, but we got tested and all got negative. I think my aunt got Covid after meeting us. My aunt is negative now and she is fine. Thank Jesus! We had to rest for a week while getting tested and my sister left to Michigan a week ago.
We drank a lot of wine, ate a lot of steak and ribeye at home, and watched one of the scariest movies ever during quarantine! One of my favorites now. It is called The Dark And The Wicked. Seriously unique and brutally scary. One of the scenes keeps me up to this day.
I am going to be starting my Masters at Harvard Extension for journalism on Monday (mom's bday!). I really hope that I can do well and graduate within a year and a half at the most. I am looking forward to the classes because I learned so much in my first journalism class at Mt. SAC. Toni Albertson is wonderful! I really want to go back to work for her as her editor after graduating. I learned so much over the 4 months especially AP style writing. AP Style was difficult for me and I am glad I took a class before starting my life at this new school. Wish me luck!!
I also am debating whether I can keep blogging for companies during this time at school but I hope the workload isn't insanely hard.
I am really happy that I spent a lot of quality family time with my sister and family as a whole because it was so fun during Christmas and New Years. It was a refreshing experience. I miss her a lot! and Biggie!! Also check out BiggiesBoutique.com for the best dog merch that my sis is selling!!
