I couldn't sleep so I got up and got on the computer for awhile before putting on my Taiwan costume and heading for Little Tokyo at downtown Los Angeles.  Our group, Hetalians United,  was holding a gathering there on Saturday, September 8, 2012. We moved around quite a bit, but was mos...

I can't believe that it's the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, U.S. Capitol, and Pentagon.  I remember waking up on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, and hearing about terrorists hijacking planes and crashing them into the twin towers.  I was shocked and c...

I saw this on some Fanfiction.Net profiles, and decided to share it here.  Much of it applied to me during my teenage and young adult years. I am the girl that doesn't go to school dances, or games, and when I do go, I sit in a corner and read a book.  I am the…

I found this nice story at some of the Fanfiction.net profiles. Like a field, a meadow tucked away in a grove of trees.  Everything and nothing combine here to make perfect peace and harmony.  Nothing is bad or misplaced, it's a haven.  Closed and protected from the outside wo...

Many people are really narrow-minded and superficial, focusing on the unimportant exterior instead of the important interior.  I came across more evidence of it on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 in the form of this upsetting article, Ways Your Appearance Affects Your Paycheck. We are mostly re...

I know many people who should read this article I came across on November 17, 2010: http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/life/the-best-advice-for-giving-advice-2408469 I agree that there are tips and advice for giving advice, and the article brings up some good points, especially for domineering and na...

In December 2009, I posted a video and entry about NewSong's The Christmas Shoes.  That was also when I learned that there was a novel and movie based on the song. This week, YouTube recommended more videos about the song.  After I watching one of them, I was clicked on more until I cam...

For two days in a row, a song I've never heard came on the radio.  I didn't like the song at first since I found it rough and choppy.  I couldn't make out the words, except "coffee" and "made you king," and they never mentioned the title.  On Saturday night, Nov...

"They should have started it decades ago," I thought as I read the internet article, Can Schools ‘Eliminate’ Bullying, as Education Secretary Says They Must? on Wednesday, October 27, 2010.  Instead, it took the recent suicide of a few bullied victims to start intervent...

I remember in jr. high and high school, some classmates said they weren't going trick-or-treating on Halloween, because their parents said they were too old.  Back then, age stereotypes seemed to be the reason, which was not a good reason at all.  Besides, parents were being bad role mo...
