Alice: Yeah.

Vanessa: Like with planets!
Me: Yeah! Annnnnd here's Miss Jupiter! And Miss Uranus!
*laughter*

Introducing...
My latest co-creation with coworker and super slice extraordinaire, Alice!
Our Tumblog is called, “Thing You Do That Make Me Judge You.”
It was born from our many daily frustrations as we encounter people who just didn’t take that extra moment to think before acting/speaking. We write with love, but also with biting sarcasm.
Enjoy!

‘Whitening’ the Résumé - NYTimes.com →
This is an old article but I’ve had it saved for a while. When I was creating my own résumé, I remember my mom advising me to put down that I was a native speaker of English (along with Japanese, and being proficient in Spanish). I asked her why, and she said it was because my last name might suggest that I wasn’t a native speaker. Until that moment, it hadn’t ocurred to me that...
Traveling As A Mixed-Race Couple In Asia: No, Sir,... →
This article pretty much sums up my fears on what travel to East Asia will be like with my new husband…
Hey, remember that time you could ask me...

Topics on which I have some knowledge:
Sexual and reproductive health
Book recommendations
Anthropology
How to plan a budget-friendly wedding
Japanese language and culture
Study abroad in Spain/Costa Rica/Peru
I am by no means an expert on any of the above topics. There are also many other subjects that I love talking about, so feel free to ask away!

Facebook ads creep me out.
When I changed my status to “Engaged,” the Facebook ads were all about wedding locations, favors, and rings. Now that my status says “Married,” there’s an ad that says, “Are you pregnant?”

Roe v. Wade anniversary. A reminder that we must continue to fight for choice.
I downloaded the White House iPhone app.
Yeah I did.
My Initials
Today I realized that my first name, middle name, maiden name, and new last name spell out SLAM. I intend on signing everything as such.
How cool am I?
Okay, probably not that cool. But I’m glad Slice thought this was newsworthy…
So much catching up to do!
Sorry for the severe lack of posts lately! As I mentioned, I got married on New Year’s Eve Day and it was very much an amazing experience. Much fun was had by all and I will post in more detail later on. I think there are also photos from my birthday and bachelorette party from last November that also need to go up. Yikes! In any case, you’ll be seeing a lot of me this weekend,...
