Spilling the T
It all begins and ends with a perspective - with the unique ways people choose to live their own, distinct versions of reality.
Something that you should know about me is that I make lists - of practically everything if i’m being completely honest. We have the normal ones like grocery lists and to-do lists. Then come the others like shopping lists and movie lists, but that’s where it starts to spiral. My mind begins drawing invisible red strings, making connections between every piece of information that I consume. So I categorize. And then these lists become collections - written collections of thoughts, of queries, of ideas and phrases. Collections of my travels and the things I love. They’re little archives of how I see and philosophize about the world.
Here, in this corner of my site, I invite you into MY perspective of the world. Think of it as my personal cabinet of curiosities, steeped in the things that I love so much I just can’t help but share. From playlists that soundtrack my walks along the West Side Highway, to travel lists for design lovers and gourmet bon vivants, to the movie marathons that shape how I see reality — this is where taste meets Tania (or Oolong T, as I like to call my alter ego who curates everything she sees).
Carefully selected. Occasionally chaotic. Always full of love.
Sip this tea slowly and savor the moments.

Listen up.
I’m the type of person who’s always listening to the music. If I’m at a restaurant having an amazing conversation with incredible people, I’m also tuned in to the notes playing in the background. If I’m working at a café, it probably took me an hour to focus - I can’t ever stop mentally dancing to their playlists.
The thing is, music makes me happy. I still remember being curled up in my 4th-grade bedroom, scrolling through Shazam’s “Top 100 Songs” by country for hours, curating the most epic playlists for my iPod Touch. It’s just one small part of what makes life feel magical for me - and it’s a part I love sharing with the world.
