Embarrassment
The Dragon On My Back
SINGAPORE was where I set foot the first time I travelled outside my home country, the Philippines, on the way to my new home down under. I was in Singapore for only 20 hours, an unseasoned traveler who was overwhelmed with the enormity of step I was making.

I Got Scammed Out of $20,000 By a Psychic
Her name was Gin and I thought she was my friend. I know that sounds weird, but it's true. When I first walked into her office, I was a bit lost in my life and I was in need of some guidance. I was greeted by her daughter who came up pretty close to me and started asking me questions. Shortly after, her mother came out and asked me a few questions, as well.

Long Live My Embarrassment
The following is one account of the mortifying events that took place at an undisclosed hockey game many years ago. This story has been passed along by others and is now infamous at Pleasant Grove Junior High School – retold every year as a legendary misfortunate incident. The events are typically recanted by a choir teacher, and spreads through the hallways amidst gasps and giggles. Many of those students are not aware that I, Sarah Parson, was right in the middle of it all. This is my story.

My Milkshake Brings ... Embarrassment
The Summer of 2013, I started my first job ... I'm just going to say it was a fast food restaurant, not which one. The first few weeks I was working, the milkshake machine was down (and/or we didn't have any milkshake mix in the inventory), so I didn't get a lot of initial practice with how to make milkshakes. How they work though is you pull the handle down on the machine, then you have to watch it and lift the lever again ... or else you'll get milkshake everywhere. (Remember this fact for later, it's important!)

There's a first time for everything
I know this might sound cliché, but one of my most embarrassing moments happened on a night out drinking with my high-school girlfriends. I am sure there are many more cringe-worthy moments in my life that are not coming to mind at this moment, but this one stands out particularly in my mind, neon signs pointing at it in all possible gamut of colors to keep reminding me how utterly embarrassing it was.

As a new yoga teacher, experience is everything.
Everyone farts. It is a part of being alive. There is a book titled “Everyone Farts" I have read it to my children. I tell my children, there is more room on the outside, and I use this phrase for many things, things like expressing how you feel, farting, brainstorming, burping, etc. I know I am an eclectic mom, an eclectic person. I thrive on being just a little bit outside the lines.

When I tried to lie about who I was...
I am very socially awkward. I try very hard to be an extrovert, but in all honesty, I am a complete introvert. If you think I am awkward when I am in a group, you should see when I get hit on. It is like watching a crash; you can’t take your eyes away no matter how bad it looks. So what happens when a socially awkward young woman gets hit on and she freezes like deer in front of headlights? Well, it is an awkward and funny story that borders on me feeling like I am an a-hole.

Whispers of the Swarm
Here I am again, working on yet another day off. Some would say I work way too much or I’m working myself to the bone or I’m a workaholic. Now I’m probably all of those things, but as for me? I always saw it as, another day another dollar in my comfort zone. There was something soothing, almost predictable, about running a restaurant. Maybe because it was too familiar as I had always worked in them.

$h*t Run
I wanted to make up for my poor performance on the first two company “fun” runs. When I was on my first deployment, I had competed in 5ks about once every few months, and even did a 10k whichwas a big deal to me. But all these gains were wiped away by just two weeks of drunken debauchery on Oahu with the Hawaii “souljas” of the 1/487th Hiki No Battalion. Now with my new unit I had dropped out of two runs, and such a disgraceful act was exacerbated by SFC Koch’s speech to 2nd platoon introducing me as a patriot for going back to war so soon. (I was only home three weeks before redeploying on my second voluntary deployment.)

Accidental Public Nudity.
Have you ever had a bad dream where you are naked in public? I have not: my bad nightmares usually include being lost inside a building that somehow has turned into a labyrinth. And yet, accidental public nudity is a nightmare that has found me in real life over and over again. Overall, the cringe-worthy moments of my life could be divided into two camps: strange encounters with horny animals and accidental nudity. I'll tell you now of the top three events on each one of those categories.
