The Broken Asian Card


Some friendships are built on shared playlists and cute brunches. Mine and Amanda’s? Built on spontaneous road trips, boxed wine and movie marathons on the couch during “that” time of the month, and a “locals only” adventure through Thailand, where Amanda met my friends, my family, and somehow didn’t get heatstroke.

Amanda’s not just a friend—she’s my sister from another mister. So naturally, I issued her an honorary Asian card. She’s been using it responsibly… good for sarcastic auntie jokes, instinctively removing shoes indoors, and knowing how to side-eye mediocre Drunken Noodles.

Then today, she texted me: “I broke it.” I told her it’s fine. You don’t lose your honorary status over a shattered bottle. Soy sauce washes off. Loyalty doesn’t.

And our friendship? Indestructible. Just like a good rice cooker.
