Life After Graduation

I’ve been watching commencement speeches on YouTube.  Eric Schmidt of Google.  Jodie Foster.  Ellen DeGeneres.  Stephen Colbert.  Barack Obama.  John Legend.
What I realized is that the power of the individual, the determination, the reserve are beyond any education level or intelligence.  Their speeches may be good (or not so good), but [...]

Wisdom

I’ve been out a lot lately.  Getting involved.  Partying.  Having loads of fun.
I suppose there’s some sort of wisdom to in part.  How to achieve life’s goals while having fun and what not.  Someone during Wharton’s Leadership in the business program told me that I should earn money, so I can pursue ‘my real hobbies’ [...]

On My Own

It’s been a few weeks since I last blogged.  Life has been pretty busy, and I’m so excited about meeting new friends and forging new bonds.
I’ve realized through these few weeks (months) that I’m pretty awesome.  It’s taken a while, but I’m getting comfortable in my own skin.  I love the friends.  Thanks, J, M [...]

Joyeux Anniversaire, Mon Petit Coeur!

It’s 11:58pm on April 25th.  Technically, it’s still today… and my kitteh officially turned one (1) today!
Happy Birthday, Mon Petit Coeur!

The only pets I’ve owned before her were some a non-edible pepper plant, a fortune tree, three cacti (two of which died due to *cough cough* malnourishment) and 27 aloe plants.  You may ask, how [...]

Oh, My Eyes!

So many movies coming out, when will I have time to watch it all?!
Movie watching comes in phases for me.  That’s why I choose Blockbuster over Netflix.  I can’t deal with the pressure of having to watch movies, so I can maximize my monthly subscription… there’s enough guilt over not getting my money’s worth for [...]

Not Past or Future. Just Now.

My friend, sexy beast, a.k.a. Joshua Hooper, introduced me to The Power of Now a while ago.  I discounted it as new age psycho babel.
But then I remembered Scarlett Johansson in Lost in Translation.  The tapes she listened to, while in that hotel room, while waiting for her husband.
Eckart Tolle speaks very slowly.  The inflections [...]

A Bow, Some Arrows & an Amazing Aim

I just finished watching Cupid, the new ABC TV series about well… Cupid, the god of love.  The premise of the show is that the god is rejected from Mt. Olympus because of the sad state of finding love in modern society.  His job is to pair 100 couple before he’s allowed back home.

I was [...]

Fear of Life

It’s a fear of failure.  One so strong that you forget who you are and what you really want in life.  At one point in time, I wanted to join the Peace Corps.  I want to become an artist because something innate in me wants to experience life, interpret it and share it.  I was [...]

Yellow, Black and Everything in Between

Interracial dating.  I’m probably going to experience introducing my parents to a boyfriend who isn’t Asian, much less Chinese.  Sure the dating part is usually pretty well accepted.  However, when the relationship progresses to something more serious, how will our parents react.
From what I’ve heard recently, the younger generation (teen/tweens) are pretty race ambiguous and [...]

Hello World!

I’ve taken a bit of a hiatus from blogging (in case you haven’t noticed).  I’ve taken a break from life as well.  Since the new year, I parted with SHIFT, which is still an amazing PR Agency; took a long, needed trip to China; popped by New York for a long weekend, more like almost [...]
