About Me

Decent...Married...half Filipino - half Vietnamese

A simple and free spirit, who only needs simple things in life ... "the bare necessities"... a compassionate and adventurous being. I love a good story ... a funny joke... anything under the sun... a good laugh... a good cry....I love to talk... about life -- people, about ...food...yum...yum...plus coffee, tea, sugar and creamer too... and newspaper...sharing laughters and tears...and what makes us...US !!! --- I love the sunshine and appreciate the rain as well, I call them my salt and pepper. I like to take a walk, spend moment to reflect and appreciate life as a whole. Sit on a bench, read a good book or simply cover up with a blanket and just feel the coldest with gusto....enjoying the moment to earn me a smile for my soul. Life is a life long journey. When blessed in the spirit the journey becomes one heck of an adventure, never a moment bored, just ride along --- in this journey of life I have two good counselors: "Irony and Pity" ; one, in smiling, makes life pleasurable; the other who cries, makes it sacred. I learned from my mistakes.so they say, "experience is a hard teacher, the test is given first, the lesson afterwards."
--------------
The one great lesson I learned is that "the world will not change", it is ME who must change and then perhaps the world may change as well.
-----------------------
My best friend recently inspired with a great quote simply said, yet it says all --" life is what we make it, love makes the world go round." (Thanks Bez)
--------------------------
This is ME. My quest "Life and Love in the Spirit."
So I say ..."Labor to keep alive in your heart, that little spark of celestial fire. A beautiful life does not just happen. It is built daily by prayer, humility, sacrifice and love, and in knowing that we are wrapped in a beautiful truth."

Things and People I Admire

God. My Parents. Real People. Sincerity. Honesty. Integrity. Strength of Character., People who think deep yet have a great sense of humor., I admire my family - they are the best people, for they have to put up with all my none sense!

What I Care About

I hope to be able to inspire and to contribute to bringing peace and hope to people., "Life without hope is life without meaning." life does not cost much- it's just one breath" just be happy and everything will take care of itself.., so keep on smiling.

--- MESSAGE OF PEACE ---

Jimi Hendrix:
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace."

HH the Dalai Lama:
"When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace."

Martin Luther King, Jr.:
"One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal we seek, but that it is a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means."

John F. Kennedy:
"Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. It can no longer serve to settle disputes. It can no longer be of concern to great powers alone. For a nuclear disaster, spread by winds and waters and fear, could well engulf the great and the small, the rich and the poor, the committed and the uncommitted alike. Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind."

---Please pray for World Peace---

"Lighted candles...sharing its light, as how you described FRIENDSHIP...nothing being lost but shared to many." A very factual belief. A holy perception of friendship. May your clan spread like the sand in the sea... the Lord told to Moses. Thanks friend Lei for the great Philosophy. God Bless Your family always.....

"ALLOW YOUR OWN INNER LIGHT TO GUIDE YOU"

There comes a time when you must stand alone.

You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams.

You must be willing to make sacrifices.

You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved.

Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.

There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities.

Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.

Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by.

Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.

Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.

"BE THANKFUL"
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference.

" It's easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings. Be blessed for whatever your situation in life may be, it is a gift from above to help us see ourselves and appreciate what we have. --- In life there is no ending only new beginnings --- "

Have a pleasant day!
