Aspiration, generally a good term, is used primarily for people who has a dream, a dream which “aspires.” Until recently did I realize that I have been groomed to have an aspiration of a big corporation CEO with millions in the pocket. I received an MBA education where CEO is highest of the [...]

I get up five o’clock in the morning, eager to see the sunrise from the ocean. The sunrise is around six thirty according to the calendar. I walk to the living room where the windows open to the ocean: it is still dark outside, pitch dark blue. I sit down with my [...]

Evacuate! It was my first response when I figured the station fire of La Canada Flintridge was out of control. Our house was so close to the fire that we saw flames directly facing us from the mountain ridge and our cars and house were covered with ashes. When I first saw [...]

A girl called Abby fell down one day, dark turned the world that was once gay;
With all her might she could not fight, a body so weak she could not speak;
Lying on the ground she was found, unconscious she felt drowned.
Run, run, run to the hospital, on father’s arms with love’s charm;

Run, run, run, as fast as you can… When I was seven, I acted in my first movie. I loved the acting part, but traveling didn’t seem to agree with me. I worked day and night, sometimes needing to dub a film during post production and working until two or three in [...]

A door to joy, happiness and everlasting life, is what Christian calls “Heaven.” A door to tears, bitterness and forever suffering, is what Christian calls “Hell.” Though both words start [...]

When I was traveling in Venice, Italy, my breath was taken away by the water, the cathedral, the architecture, and among all the shops, the beautiful masks. Venetian masks are famous, representing the fine art and top craftsmanship. In the land of China where I came from, Peking Opera is renowned for its [...]

There is a movie titled “Pursuit of Happiness,” chronicled a long journey of battle toward the ultimate happiness in life. With the star power, and inspiration nature of the plot and story, the movie is a box office success and ranks high on chart in terms of artistry. I don’t know whether anyone [...]

Red flash, a girl’s skirt, close by a woman, slowly walking further together;
Grey, a truck, getting near then driving far, picking up trash;
Green, a lawn mower, a solid sized man walking back and forth with it;
Brown, a dog approaching, an old lady jogging after, handling a leash;
Glitter, appear, and disappear, on the diamond shaped lead [...]
