    S2 EP6 【EN】Traveling in China: At Irene's Rhythm

    This is the first shared park bench of the season—with my good friend Irene. Irene is Italian and has been in China since her bachelor’s degree, through her master’s, and now into working life in Beijing. She loves traveling in China, staying in hostels, walking everywhere, climbing mountains, and meeting people along the way. In this episode, we talk about our different travel rhythms, what shapes those differences, and what it truly feels like to travel in China as a foreigner. Irene shares her favorite places, favorite food, and the small moments that make traveling here meaningful—especially the human connections found in shared spaces. A conversation about movement, curiosity, and finding your own pace on the road. 这是本季的第一个「共享公园长椅」—— 我和我很好的朋友 Irene 坐下来聊天。 Irene 来自意大利，从本科、硕士到现在工作，一直生活在中国。她热爱在中国旅行，住青旅、到处走路、爬山，也享受在旅途中认识来自世界各地的人。 这一集里，我们聊到彼此不同的旅行节奏、这些差异从何而来，也聊了作为外国人在中国旅行的真实感受。Irene 分享了她最喜欢的地方、美食，以及那些发生在旅途中的、很人味的小瞬间。 关于旅行、关于节奏，也关于在路上找到属于自己的方式。

    S2 EP5【EN】Travelling China, At Your Own Rhythm

    In this episode of ING with Jemmy: 成长进行时, I reflect on how my way of traveling in China has evolved over the years — from joining tour groups, to semi-joiner trips, to solo travel, and finally, slow city walks with family. Through experiences like 特种兵旅游, discovering Xiaohongshu, solo trips in Yunnan, and traveling with my parents in Guangzhou, I realized that there is no “right” way to travel — only the way that fits your personality, body, and season of life. Travel, for me, is no longer about checking off places. It’s about presence, care, and finding a rhythm that feels like home. If you’re navigating how to travel in China — fast or slow, solo or with others — this episode is an invitation to listen to your own pace. 在这一期 《ING with Jemmy：成长进行时》 中，我分享了自己在中国旅行方式的变化—— 从小时候跟团旅行，到半自由行、和朋友结伴、一个人旅行，直到现在，选择慢慢走、慢慢感受的「城市漫步」。 从特种兵旅游的效率感，到小红书带来的便利，再到云南的独自旅行、和父母一起在广州慢慢走，我逐渐意识到： 旅行没有标准答案，只有适不适合你。 旅行不只是去了哪里， 而是你是否照顾好了自己的节奏、身体和当下的状态。 如果你也在思考—— 在中国，怎样的旅行方式才真正适合自己？ 希望这一期，能陪你一起找到属于你的节奏。

    S2 EP4 【EN】Dating Diaries: Past Date No. 2

    This episode wasn’t planned — but sometimes, the best things aren’t. In this Dating Diaries entry, I share a quiet life update about meeting someone unexpectedly and experiencing what a healthy connection feels like: one with boundaries, patience, mutual respect, and space to grow. From talking for a month before meeting, to discovering how different lifestyles can gently complement each other, this episode isn’t about rushing toward labels — it’s about letting something good unfold at its own pace. A reflection on calm over chaos, connection over convenience, and choosing peace while staying open to love. Happy Valentine’s Day — may love find you gently, in whatever form you need this season. 🤍 这一期，其实并不在计划之内。 在这一期《Dating Diaries》中，我分享了一段最近的生活更新——关于一次并不刻意、却让人感到安心的相遇，以及什么样的关系，才会让我觉得「健康」。 从线上聊了一个多月才见面，到发现彼此不同的生活方式反而能互相补足，这一集不是关于急着确认关系，而是关于慢慢走、慢慢认识、慢慢建立信任。 这是一次关于边界、节奏、尊重与安全感的记录——选择平静，而不是混乱；保持开放，但不勉强。 情人节快乐 🤍 愿你在这个季节，遇见温柔的爱，不论它以什么形式出现。

    S2 EP3 【EN】New Year's Routine Turned Into Accident

    At the very start of the year, my body pressed pause for me. This episode is a raw, quiet reflection recorded on my first day home from the hospital—after a sudden accident that led to an ambulance ride, two hospitals in Beijing, and an unexpected four-week break from work due to patella dysfunction. I was in pain, but I was calm. Maybe because being an occupational therapist gave me the language to understand what was happening. Maybe because being bilingual helped me navigate the system. And maybe because I realized, in the middle of vulnerability, how grateful I am to be in a workplace that is compassionate and human. This is a thank-you episode—for slowing down, for listening to my body, and for Irene and Fiona, who showed up for me when I needed help the most. Just me, on a park bench, breathing and learning to rest. 在新的一年刚开始，我的身体先替我慢了下来。 这一集，是我从医院回到家的第一天录下的独白。 一次突发的意外，让我经历了救护车、北京的两家医院，也让我因为髌骨功能障碍，不得不暂停工作四周。 身体在痛，但内心却异常平静。 也许是因为作为职业治疗师，我能理解身体正在发生什么； 也许是因为双语能力，让我在陌生的医疗系统中多了一份安心； 也正是在这段脆弱的时刻，我更加确信——我选择了一家真正关心人的公司。 这一集，是一份感谢。 感谢身体提醒我慢下来， 感谢这段被迫的休息， 也感谢 Irene 和 Fiona，在我最慌乱的时候，陪我一起度过。 一个人的公园长椅时刻， 学着停下，也学着好好照顾自己。

    S2 EP2 【EN】Learning To Speak For My Own

    Many of us speak more than one language — but do we know how to speak for ourselves? In this episode, recorded in that quiet in-between state after a flight, I reflect on what it means to be multilingual, adaptable, and constantly translating ourselves for others. From softening words for family, to switching tones at work, to mixing languages with friends — I explore how learning many languages sometimes makes it harder to hear our own voice. This is a gentle conversation about courage, boundaries, and learning to speak with honesty rather than perfection. About realizing that speaking up isn’t about being loud — it’s about being true. If you’ve ever felt fluent in translation but unsure of your own voice, this episode is for you. 我们会说很多种语言， 但我们真的学会了“为自己说话”吗？ 这一期，是在一次飞行后的安静时刻录下的。介于疲惫与清醒之间，我开始思考：作为一个多语者，我们是不是太习惯为了被理解而不断调整、翻译、修饰自己，却慢慢听不清自己的声音？ 从家庭、朋友到工作场合，这一期聊的是多语者的适应力，也聊那些不敢说出口的时刻，以及后来慢慢学会开口的勇气。 说话不一定要完美， 清楚和诚实，本身就是一种温柔。 如果你也正在寻找自己的声音，希望这一期能陪你一起慢慢学会，为自己说话。

    S2 EP1 【EN】Jemmy & The Shared Park Bench （Jemmy 与共享的公园长椅）

    This episode marks the beginning of Season 2 of ING with Jemmy: 成长进行时 — and the start of a new year. After returning from a Christmas trip with my parents in Guangzhou, I found myself reflecting on the past year: a year of walking toward myself. Coming back to Beijing — the cold, the routine, the quiet — made me pause and ask a simple question: How do I want to keep walking? In this season opener, I talk about: Choosing quiet growth over loud New Year’s resolutions Building peace in my personal life (and retiring the “12 grapes for a boyfriend” tradition) Shifting at work from survival mode to grounding and identity-building Learning to hold healthier boundaries with family, without guilt or resentment Season 2 of ING with Jemmy feels like a shared park bench — a place for solo reflections, but also for warm conversations with others. Friends, expats, people from different cultures and walks of life — Filipino, Chinese, Filipino-Chinese, and everything in between — sitting together to talk about growing, belonging, working, loving, and figuring life out. If you’re listening and feel like you have a story to share, you’re always welcome to reach out. Here we are — still becoming, still learning, still in –ING. Welcome to Season 2. 这一期，是《ING with Jemmy：成长进行时》第二季的开始，也是新一年的起点。 在和父母一起结束广州的圣诞旅行、回到北京之后，我开始回望过去的一年——那是一段“走向自己”的旅程。回到北京的寒冷、日常与安静，让我停下来思考：接下来，我想如何继续走下去？ 在这一期里，我分享了： 为什么今年不再追求“轰轰烈烈”的新年目标，而是选择安静地继续成长 关于个人生活，如何把“内在的平静”放在第一位（也正式告别“吃12颗葡萄求对象”） 工作中，从适应与生存，走向更扎实的关系建立与职业身份 以及在家庭关系里，如何选择健康的连接，必要时也能不带羞愧地保持距离 第二季的《ING with Jemmy》，像是一张共享的公园长椅。 我依然会有个人的独白与思考，但也会邀请更多人一起坐下来——朋友、在北京生活的外籍人士、来自不同文化背景的人，包括菲律宾人、华人、菲中混血，以及更多“中间地带”的故事。 我们会聊成长、归属、工作、关系，以及如何在生活中慢慢成为自己。 如果你正在听，也有故事想分享，欢迎来找我。 我们仍在路上， 仍在成为， 仍在 –ING。 欢迎来到第二季。

    Season Finale 【EN】: A Year of Walking Toward Myself

    As 2025 comes to an end, I’m taking a quiet moment to look back on the unexpected, imperfect, and deeply meaningful steps that brought me here. From choosing a career no one fully understood, to moving to Beijing, to building a life on my own terms — this year has been less about finding the “right” path, and more about learning to trust the one I’m creating. In this episode, I reflect on what it meant to take the road less traveled, the courage it took to choose differently, and the peace that comes from becoming my own person. If you’re also figuring out your direction, or learning to walk your own path at your own pace, I hope this episode feels like a warm companion for the end of the year. Here’s to the roads we’ve walked, the choices we’ve made, and the selves we’re slowly growing into. See you in 2026. 🌿✨ 2025 即将结束，我也在这个安静的季节里回头看看这一年来自己走过的路。 从选择一条家人不太理解的职业道路，到搬到北京独立生活，再到慢慢学会照顾自己——这一年，对我来说不是找到正确的方向，而是相信自己正在走的这条路。 在这一集里，我分享「走在少有人走的路上」的心情、做出不一样选择的勇气、以及在独立生活中慢慢长出来的平静。 如果你也正在寻找人生的方向，或在练习更忠于自己的步伐，希望这集能陪你一起在年末好好呼吸。 愿我们在新的一年里，继续走向更完整、更勇敢的自己。 2026 见。🌿✨

    EP16【EN】: The Quiet Kind of Happiness

    In this episode, I reflect on the quiet kind of happiness — the small, unexpected moments that make ordinary days feel meaningful. From cooking alone to biking under autumn trees, she shares how living independently has helped her rediscover peace, gratitude, and self-love. Inspired by Pixar’s Soul, this episode is a gentle reminder that happiness doesn’t always come from big achievements, but from simply being present and alive. 这一集，我想和你聊聊生活里的「小幸福」。 不是那种轰轰烈烈的大快乐，而是日常中那些微小又突然的瞬间——独自做饭、骑车经过秋天的树、在安静的日子里感到满足。 也从皮克斯动画《心灵奇旅》中得到启发：幸福并不一定来自伟大的成就，而是来自当下的感受、生活的细节，以及用心去体会「活着」本身的美好。
