ABOUT ME
I used to work as a SLP in New York. Now, I basically just chill and relax in this paradise!!! I spend most of my time on creating new recipes in and out of the kitchen (art studio).

I love traveling via "off the beaten track" type of trips, visiting small villages, tasting the local food, and feeling the colors of each town. Playing with children was a big part of my life. Among all encounters, I still believe the interactions with the kids (regardless the culture/language/ethnic) are mostly genuine. Seeing the kids with special needs and their helpless parents suffer truly sadden me. I have dreams and hope to make a difference for the society, advocating for the children with special needs. Hopefully we can share our stories one day!

PHILOSOPHY

Regardless of our backgrounds or cultures, we are all human beings with joys, fears, questions about life.. Life is about choices.. having choices may be regarded as a good thing, but unlimited or too many choices may lead to many confusions. If you make a bad choice, there should be no regrets but take the consequences and move on!

Truly believe: "Things happen for a reason!"
