Memory remembers it. Heart cares about it. Curiosity makes seventeen possibilities out of it. Gut asks whether it feels authentic. Logic interrogates it. The planner wants a plan. And somewhere in there, a small voice says: "Okay, but are we going to actually DO anything?"

🧠 How My Brain Works (Roughly)
This site exists partly so my 47 open mental tabs have somewhere to live.
🌈 The Six Themes
The Home page has the creed — this is how it sorts. Nearly every hobby I have falls into one or more of these:
Create — cook, bake, craft, write, photograph
Learn — read, study, take classes, build new skills
Explore — travel, food, museums, local adventures
Preserve — journals, reviews, photos, memories
Share — handmade gifts, cooking, reviews, hosting
Grow — yoga, wellness, movement, self-development
🦆 Why BebeDuckie?
I collect rubber ducks. Duck plushes. Duck everything, honestly. The Blurb is named after the collection — soft, cheerful, slightly ridiculous, and completely sincere. Like me on a good day.
📋 The Quick Facts
Home base: Tucson, Arizona 🌵
Homeowners: Tucson homeowners since ~2016 — the first upgrade was a shower rod and curtain in the guest bathroom. Priorities. 😂🏠
Bar exam: passed October 2018 — celebrated with Mickey Mouse gifts from Han. "One of the happiest days of my life." ⚖️
The $90,000 piece of paper: the diploma arrived June 2018. Framed? Emotionally, yes. 🎓
Student loans: paid in FULL, January 2023 — celebrated the only correct way, with homemade blackened shrimp risotto. 🍤💸
Day job: I work in law — Pima County Attorney's Office (started as a civil law clerk, May 2018), moved to private practice in February 2022. This site is where the other 47 tabs live.
Roots: born and raised in Atlanta, GA 🍑 — UGA psychology, magna cum laude (2012), then UArizona Law (J.D., 2018 — graduated May 12, family flew in from Georgia). Now lawyering in Tucson.
Languages: Cantonese and Vietnamese, fluently — plus Mandarin, Spanish… and Pig Latin. 🐷
Review life: Yelp Elite • Google Local Guide — I document food like it's my job (it's not, it's my love language).
Warning: I turn mundane events into elaborate bits. You've been warned. 😄
