About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Carpe diem

ABOUT ME
A straightforward, down to earth person, sometimes too serious and lack of sense of humour. Mostly left brain storming. Love self-discovery by reading, conversation, daily life and traveling as a individual backpacker. Wanna learn about LOVE for lifelong. Starting from eating no meat, being respectful, generous and patient to people and animals in order to get rid of the selfish part of herself. learning to execute it and teaching by example for her students and child. Love to make delicious vegetarian food in Asian or western style.

PHILOSOPHY
I like things that go naturally. A proverb goes well:"If you want something very, very badly, let it go free. If it comes back to you, it's yours forever. If it doesn't, it was never yours to begin with."This comforts me in love relationship, work affair, friendship, and everything. I hate disappointment, so I try my best with everything, and see how the God will like me to go. I believe everything that happens is going to give me a lesson. What I have to do is reflection, reflection and reflection.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hollywood might fit public flavour, but never to be my taste. I prefer Indian, Thai, Iran, Singpore, Chinese and Taiwanese movies.I love heavy metal during my student age, I knew Europe(Superstitious) since my junior high and got crazy in them, and Nirvana in my college. Now I am getting older, not so strong heart. Norah Jones, Ono Lisa, Kevin Kern, George Winston comfort a lot. Classical is always my favorite. I play piano for leisure entertianment and I will play for you if you have a piano and would like me to do so.
Recent Reading: Chinese translation of Carl Wetter's Educational Laws, Self identify through Hooponopono, The Diamond Cutter, and Krishnamurti's biography.
Also plenty of books about healthy diet.
