ni hao fine shyts 💖🐉🧧🌀
finally dressing up as my name mulan มู่หลาน! 🌸some of you might know me as peerada พีรดา which is my thai formal name. however, thai ppl usually have 2 names — a nickname for day to day use, and a formal name for documents etc. this is due to cultural reasons and historical modernization by king rama VI 🤴🏼
since i’m half chinese, my family picked a name that works in mandarin too, hence 刘木兰 🇨🇳 to this day, they’re still debates between who chose my name, my sisters, my aunt or my grandma since we all love the legend and warrior princess🤣🤔

my 2025 —
this year felt like wading through deep water,
shifting tides, family storms, a flood that echoed it all.
and still, i’m grateful for the quiet joys and the loud celebrations, for the family and friends who kept me afloat along the way 🥹🩵
here are my fav 20 memories of the year ~
to many more in the new year 🌀
