In the book "New Beginnings: Not My Will", Jexi is a non-believer who struggles to accept a God who would allow suffering.
In New Beginnings, two best friends face challenges of love, loss, and starting over, one of whom is named Jexi. The other one is named Shaya, a mature Christian with a strong faith foundation and commitment to God. These two young women conquer changes in their individual lives that will strengthen their friendship. Shaya learns to heal from past pain as Jexi learns to let go, and let God guide her in her new path. This book shows the importance of seeking God and His will for our lives. Not our will but His alone.

Get the Jexi mug.Originating from Japanese pop culture, "purikura" (a.k.a. "print club") refers to a photo booth experience popular among young women who often wear pleated skirts and white collared shirts, typically paired with black JanSport backpacks. This style gives them a youthful, schoolgirl aesthetic, highlighting their uncertainty about mature or age-appropriate fashion.
Every time my friends and I hit the purikura booth, we end up looking like a bunch of academy students, all pleated skirts, white collared shirts, and black JanSport backpacks — despite having attempted to figure out how to dress like adults!

Get the Jesus mug.A slang term for a beverage made by combining the energy drink Extra Joss with "susu," the Indonesian word for "milk". This energizing mix is popular among those looking for a quick boost.
I needed a pick-me-up before my workout, so I grabbed a Joshua—nothing like that energy boost to get me going!

Get the Joshua mug.The digital equivalent of "tipping" on YouTube, where subscribing is meant as a form of support for channels. However, the YouTube algorithm interprets this as a signal that you have more time to watch videos. Subscribing to more channels doesn't magically ease your parents' screen time limits — it's akin to tipping whilst dining at a restaurant, indicating that the service deserves a higher wage, not that your stomach can hold more food.
I subscribed to ten new channels to show my support, but my parents still treat it like I've signed up for a marathon of screen time—it's just a digital equivalent of "tipping", not a signal that I want to binge-watch YouTube!

Get the subscribe mug.A slang term that combines the meanings of "having someone peeing on you" and "being disappointed" — both lumped into one same slang term. It captures the absurdity of feeling both literally and metaphorically let down in a messy situation.
After waiting for hours at the concert, I was totally pissed—my friends abandoned me, and I got splashed by a water balloon!
