sorry, i haven't had the time to update this blog. my internet at home been down. also, work been somewhat hectic and applying for graduate schools been overwhelming!!! life has been really a roller coaster ride for me. life has its up and down but i still love every moment of it, because through it i learned a great deal about life.
for the past few days, new york city has been REALLY cold. cold to a point where it has reach to its freezing point or below. i have seen a few snow in the beginning of december already, and its NOT EVEN WINTER! but i guess with yesterday temperature, winter has already started. lolz through this cold weather, i wouldn't have survived without my under armour's cold gear garments. it really kept my body warm in these cold weathers. last saturday, i played football with the guys and i only wore my under armour's cold gear top and pant, and i was super warm before i even played. forget about during the game because i was super hot! here's a website to their clothes line if you ever plan on getting it. http://www.underarmour.com/
their stuff can be quite expensive but i usually get it when its on sale. i wore these to the football game and the past few cold weathers. this was the top i wore http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/womens/gearline/coldgear/compression/pid1001512-Women-s-ColdGear-SubZero-Mock/1001512-447
and this was the bottom i wore
http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/womens/gearline/coldgear/bottoms/pid1001525-Women-s-ColdGear-Frosty-Tight/1001525-410
believe me, they really keep you warm. if you're scare that you will get cold, just throw on a hoodie or sweatpants/shirt and it will surely keep you warm. its really worth your money!
i promise to post more pics than writing on this blog. so, i guess i will post up videos and pictures of my mini- trip to boston in my next post. plus i have to learn how to maneuver this blog, especially on posting up video! so give me some time...lolz

U.S. Open
wow, its been awhile since i last updated. work has taking a toll on me. working with kids can be rewarding and great but it also takes a lot of brain power, energy and strength. but anyways, here is my update:
for the past couple of months i've been trying to obtain tickets to the U.S. Open but unfortunately i was unable to get my hands on them. Once again, i did not see my idol Federer play in person. kinda sad! no one understand my love for tennis because tennis is not one of the popular sports my friends watch. so even if i was able to attend the U.S. Open, i will be attending it by myself or even if they go with me, they won't be able to understand the game. next year i will try to get my hands on them even if it costs a lot (which is usually the case). i really want to attend one especially the fact that it's in new york city (right where i live with about an hour train ride). so what happen since i couldn't get my hands on them...i had to opt for the television verison. hehehehehe.... so for the past couple of days, i ran home from work and watched it with my friends which i had to explained the concept/rules of the game here and there to them.
anyways, this year was the best year for me to watch tennis. the new york's METS (my favorite baseball team) didn't do so well this season so i was able to put all my attention on tennis. this year i didn't have to switch from channels to channels. BEST YEAR TO WATCH TENNIS!!!
i promise to post up pictures so here i am.
it was a coincidence that i bumped into them while i was visiting hong kong in mon kok's mall. be mindful that it was pretty hard taking pictures there. i was behind a glass, pushed by fans of michael miu and especially jason chan.
here's michael miu. super handsome for his age! he's the dude with the sunglasses.
this is jason chan that i mentioned in my previous post. he's the one who posted nice pictures on his blog. i read his blog when i have time. i ALWAYS envy his job! a job that travels around and gets paid doing it. by the way, i bumped into jason twice during my visit in hong kong. once at this mall and the second time was when i was roaming around hong kong taking pictures but i was too shy to walk up to him for a talk/picture. i assume he wants to live a regular life than a celebrity so i pretend i didn't see him. stupid me!!!! lolz
by the way, jason's partner: rabeeca is really beautiful.
this last picture of jason is not with me. it's actually one of his fans. i just so happen to take a picture of them and it seems like he's staring at me.

July 4's fireworks....dreaming of that day
this is my second entry on this blog and i'm still deciding whether to tell my friends about this blog or should i just keep it a secret so i can type out my deepest desires, problems, secrets, dreams, and etc. hmmm....?
today is July 4, America's Independence day!!! as always, to American this day means a lot to us. this is the day where our fathers fought for our Independence. our freedom is because of them and for this reason we celebrate this special and joyous occasion with fireworks... many of my friends prior to today invited me to watch the fireworks with them and i declined all of them. i did it for two reasons...one, i want to spend it with family. as you know from my previous entry, i value family's time and today was one of those days. i didn't have work and my mom was free so i decided to spend the day with her. the day was spend wisely and i learned a lot about my mom....i just LOVE my MOM!!! second, i always have this dream/wish where i will watch the fireworks with the special someone i love. i think it will be something special between that guy and i. so, if you're reading this...maybe you're that special someone OR maybe not...hahahahaha.... as always its just a dream. in reality, will this ever come true? i have no idea but i think it will be something cool. just sitting there with beautiful sky (bluish and purplish sky), sitting on the sand, hearing the waves of the water crashing and being with the person you love is so romantic. as i was chatting with one of my friend about this, he told me of a tvb actor's blog with pictures of some place nice that he went to, so i decided to look into it. when i first went into his blog the first page was what i dream of...the pictures he posted is what i dream! this place is where and how i will like to spend my day watching the fireworks with someone i like. if a stranger is reading this, you should go into his blog. his name is jason chan, under the entry "UNBELIEVABLE!!!" here's the site: http://blog.tvb.com/jasonchan/
when i saw his blog, i realized he's the guy i bumped into when i went to mong kok's mall when i was in hong kong. that was the day when i saw MICHAEL MIU!!! to be honest, mong kok's air quality is polluted and filthy. after exiting the mtr, i found myself gasping for air. i know new york city is polluted and filthy but it isn't polluted like mong kok!!!!
from now on, i won't be writing as much as i did for the past two entries (this and the last entry). i will be posting pictures and maybe some comments underneath. i'm getting pretty lazy...lolz

The value of FAMILY!
This is actually the first post on my blog and i'm going to share something i value in my life. beware its long but meaningful!
Yesterday (June 29, 2009) my friend planned a surprised birthday bbq party at her place. it was actually a shocker for me. i actually thought i was going in for a staff meeting but my co-workers fooled me. they're great! anyhow, while i was there i saw something that bought back some memories: some deep memories! memories of my father!
for readers that are viewing this, my father passed away when i was young (when i was about 4 years old) and it took me awhile to adjust to life without a father. when i was at my surprised birthday party, i saw something that i wish i have while i was growing up: a family! i'm not trying to say that i don't have one, i actually do but when one thinks about family they think of what i think of. a family is compose of a mother, a father and some siblings. in my family, its compose of a mother, my younger brother and me. its not a typical family in what people will think of. my father been left out in a lot of family's celebration ever since his passing.
while growing up, i hated father's day and it wasn't because i was angry at my father for leaving this world so early in my life, but rather, i didn't have a father to spend it with like my other fellow friends and classmates. every year in school till i was in junior high school, my teachers will ask us to make father's day card for our father and to be honest i HATED it. i had no idea who to make out the card to. i will sit there while i watch my classmate doodle away, decorating their card with elaborate writing, embellish with creative pictures, while i sat there with an empty paper. and we all know that in school, every assignments that is given by the teacher must be finish or else one is punish for unfinished work. so usually after a certain amount of time...i just draw something random with a simple letter to my father. but as years gone by doing this, i realized how pointless a card can get. making cards is something so repetitive that after a certain amount of time, it loses its value and meaning. knowing chinese parents, how many of chinese parents actually keep them? usually after a certain amount of days, months or even years they will throw it away. if a card isn't meaningful, then what is really more meaningful for your parents? i will say time spend with them.
about 2 weeks ago, it was father's day and this father's day was different in comparison to the many father's day i grew up in. this year father's day, i spend it in china with my family. this time i felt what it feels like to spend father's day with family! even though i celebrated father's day with my uncles, i still felt what it feels like to have family all gather together: consuming foods, joking and sharing thoughts. this is why i value family time. as i gotten older, i realized how less i spend it with my family. with work and school, its hard to find time to spend it with my mom and younger brother. with our busy schedule, its hard to fit a time when all of us can gather together, joke and share. majority of the time when we're eating dinner, we chat for a short a period of time, eat and then back to what we have to finish before we head to bed. now, i appreciate these special holidays set aside specially to celebrate two important people in your lives: your mother and father! even though when i was younger, i hated father's day because i didn't have a father to celebrate it with like other people but as i grew up, i grew an appreciation for these holidays. its holiday like these where the whole family gathers together to reminisce about the past, joke and share with one another. this is the reason why i love family's gathering! I LOVE FAMILY'S GATHERING!!!
even though i'm not a mother, but at this age i know your parents will love to spend time with you. after losing a family member (like me) you will realize how old they gotten and when that day comes: when they will have to leave this world, you might regret how little amount of time you spend with them. when its too late, all you have is to reminisce about the past, just like how i reminisce about my father every time i think about my father. sorry for being too harsh! one should value family time that you have with one another before its too late. sometime i wish i can have a father here to celebrate father's day with like everybody else i know but then again i do not have this kind of privilege. value the time spend with family because all in all when things goes bad or wrong you will ALWAYS HAVE YOUR FAMILY'S SUPPORT!!!
