Tsk tsk...Mean Kids



Childhood is one of the most important stage in life which contributes to who we become when we are older. Children at an early age can be so mean, they learn to outcast others, pick on others. It’s hard if you weren’t in the “in crowd”. Just the other day, at the mall, I saw 4 kids gang up on 1 fat kid. Called her names like “Piggy” and tormenting her with “oink oink’s”. Other people passed by and laughed. But I was different. I saw the tears well up in her eyes as she tried to put on a fake smile to pretend she was tough. Poor kid.

My heart really goes out to the little chubby kid. I saw myself in her. My family and I moved to the U.S. when I was 6 years old. I was one fat chunky kid as you can see from the picture I posted. To the grown-ups I was cute and adorable, to my classmates I was Ms. Piggy, or King-Kong Ching Chong (Chinese king kong), all those names still haunt me to this day.

On my first day of school, kids had mistaken me for a boy. They often referred to me as a Chinese Fat Boy. People who were bullied often grouped together, but me, I was different. I was an outcast from both the “in crowd” and the L-O-S-E-R group. There were times when I would eat in the restroom, all alone, with hot tears streaming endlessly down my fat rosy cheeks. I walked with my head bowed down to the ground, afraid that if I had made eye contact with anyone I would be made fun of again. But that’s just how life is sometimes.

By the time I turned 13, I somehow managed to lose some of the weight. I didn’t exercise or go on a diet. Actually I ate so much that I had gotten food poisoning. My butt was throwing up for almost a week. We also moved to Fairfield, California. And there, a new life awaited. Things began to look up for me, I had made tons of friends and was doing well in school. In fact, I was always on the Honor Roll. Middle School and High School was a breeze. People still bullied people and it would really tick me off. I hated seeing people verbally and emotionally abused. I hated seeing people take Prozac (the happy pill) just so they wouldn’t be depressed. Words sting and ring forever in the heart and mind. I guess it’s a matter of how you handle these bullies or these trials.

Anyway, I think I turned out alright, despite all the bullying. But I must admit, I’ve become vain and sometimes I obsess about my weight. But I’m trying to just be happy with myself. Somehow being bullied so much helped me to become a stronger person and more sensitive to the needs and feelings of others. I wonder how my bullies are now? I wonder what they would say or think if they ran into me.

Any one out there ever bully anyone? Or have you been bullied? What effect does it have on the person you have become today?

A-Z for U & Me

I know I've been quiet for the past few days. Our company I.T. took blocked off all things fun, this includes, Yahoo Messenger, Blogger, Facebook, online games, everything. Help! I'm gonna die! I have tons of catching up to do...
I'll begin by doing this meme from my
Insomniac friend Andhari. Here are the rules.
The rules are :
1. To each letter of an alphabet, write a word connected to you
2. Tag 6 people

So here it goes:

Ant hill. I stepped on an anthill when I was little. And tons of red hot fire ants crawled up my legs. Ouch!

Blogging… I love to blog and read people’s blogs. Unfortunately damn company I.T. blocked all blogging websites.

Curly hair is fun and flirty. I like to curl my hair when going to the clubs with my friends. Chocolates…yummy…Chinesefood…ahem…ChinkyMeL

Doodle…I doodle everytime I have a pen and paper in hand.

Excited for the weekend.

Family and Friends…. I love them.

Guys can be pretty insensitive at times.

Hugs and holding hands are just really sweet

Idea…I’m open to new ideas.

July 15…. That’s my birthday.

Kareoke….wait in line. I’m a total mic hog. hahaha

Life is precious, make the most of it.

Melissa, Mels, Missy, Moi Moi, Melsy…are just a few of my nicknames.

Naughty and Nice

Oysters… Yummy

Pink. I love the color pink

Quiet places are somewhat relaxing for me.

Rain rain rain…It’s raining hard. If only it could rain men or money. hehehe

Singapore--- One of the places I would like to visit.

Travel to Paris with my mom.

Understanding one another would make life more peaceful.

Vain--- I can be vain sometimes and cannot live without a mirror..

Waiting for something to happen is different from making things happen. You can either wait forever for nothing or make something happen.

X-ray…I had gotten a hairline fracture on my wrist and had to get an x-ray

You…I want to acknowledge you, who is reading this. Thank you.

Zombie movies annoy me. I hate it when they bite off flesh from people! Not a very pretty sight.

Now it's your turn. I'm tagging Gagay, Kimmy, Maan, PinkNic, Angel, and Shyne.

People Who Matter Most


"No man is an island". People need people, to survive, to live, to love.There’s a person who makes me feel complete. There’s a person who makes me smile and loves me unconditionally. I may be a difficult sometimes but yet she loves me nonetheless. I admire her ever so patient ways. I must admit that there were times when I could not understand her, times when I just wanted to shut her out. But somehow she understood me and never gave up on me.

There were times when the world may have given up on me, times when even I gave up on myself, but she never gave up on me. I owe her my life, I owe her everything that I am today. She is the person who gives me strength, happiness, and has taught me the true meaning of unconditional love. She is none other than my mom.

She inspires me to be the best and to never give up. I love her to death. She has filled the role of not just being a mother to me and my brother but also the role of a father in our life.

To my mom, thank you for everything. I thank God for giving me the best mom. I know it sounds cliché but you truly are my angel. I may lose everything in this world, money, house, everything, but as long as I have you, I know I would still be able to smile.


My brother… my rock, my baby… He’s taught me that love is sacrificing. For the funny moments and for always being there. My brother is always looking out for me. He’s just the best. I heart my brother so much.


So there you have it, my two most favorite people in the world. People who matter most to me. By the way, I'd like to thank Carina the Blogarina for this topic. So tell me dear readers, who are the people who really hold a special place in your hearts?

I've been feeling a bit mellow these last couple days. And I must admit, as much as I'd like to be able to spend time with the people I really love, my job has been getting the most of me. So anyway, here's a poem I wrote for those people that matters most to me.

Here

Don't be scared just close your eyes
There'll be no sad goodbyes
And when you feel you're all alone
Don't hesitate to grab that phone.
You may not know it but I deeply care
I'm here to listen to anything you might want to share.
I love you with all my heart my dear
I'll always be by yourside you have nothing to fear.

Bite Me!





October 5, 2005 was ages ago. But I remember it as if it were yesterday. No, it wasn’t someone’s birthday, it wasn’t our anniversary as a couple, in fact it was just your ordinary day with a few perks. That day was a day full of fun and surprises. My boyfriend and I went to the beach in the morning. We enjoyed the morning sun and our long walks on the beach. We did what any other normal couples would do. We drew hearts on the sand with our names inside. We made sandcastles. And of course we went and dipped into the cool waters of the beach.
In the afternoon we went back to the city and watched a movie. It wasn’t a romantic movie nor was it a date movie. I think it was comedy. I’m not sure. But I can definitely remember him holding my hand. I remember feeling him looking at me with a smile as I pretended to be immensely engrossed with the movie.

After our movie date, we headed off to his house for dinner with his family. I remember smiling as I admired my boyfriend driving me to his house for dinner with his family. It wasn’t the first time that I had the opportunity to join his family for dinner but yet I still felt excited. What a great way to end such a wonderful day. I felt like a princess as he opened the car door and helped me out. I checked my hair, makeup, and dress. He said I looked perfect.

So we slowly walked to the door and out of no where I saw their dog, Tyson. My initial reaction was “awww, what a cute dog.” Our laughing stopped and he held my hand tight. Silence filled the night sky. I was just 10 steps away from the door. I knew the dog was coming for me. Tyson, the rottweiler lunged towards me. I fell to the ground. Next thing I knew my boyfriend was also on top of me, covering my face and my tummy. I felt the dog’s teeth take hold of my leg. My boyfriend’s brothers came out of the house and pulled the dog away from me. As they pulled the dog away I felt his teeth slowly loosen it’s hold on my dear leg. I asked my boyfriend why he didn’t carry me (he’s 6 foot One) and he said it would have been too late and if he had done that the dog might have leaped and bit my butt instead. Now that I come to think about it, I guess I would rather have the dog bite my leg than have him bite my butt. How awful it would have been for his family to see my bleeding butt and to go to the hospital and moon everyone. But anyways…back to the bite…

My boyfriend cried. I cried too. Not because it hurt but because I was so scared. The bite was so bad that I could really feel nothing. I was still a nursing student when this happened and had just gotten my first aid training. I had done first aid on myself with the help of my boyfriend’s brother and mom. I poured alcohol on the wound but I didn’t feel a thing! Can you imagine how bad it must have been? The stupid dog probably bit off so much meat from my leg that he even ate the nerve endings off too. Not to worry I just had to find a way to stop the bleeding.

I went home early that night. My boyfriend and mommy had a talk. The next day bf took me to his uncle who happens to be a doctor. I got my shots and I even assisted with the stitching of my leg. My poor leg would have a small scar, but I can always get steroids shots to minimize scarring. So I decided to go for it. But eventually stopped after my 3rd shot because it would also make you fat. Oh no! I still have scars up to now to remind me of the scary experience.

Mommy was telling me about me getting bit by our puppy when I was around 6 years old. My puppy bit my hand. Now that I come to think about it, I think I actually recall this experience. Then my brother poured alcohol on it and it hurt so much that I screamed my lungs out. I’m thinking maybe dogs can smell fear. I have a dog now, a very cute Japanese spitz named Sugar, but I don’t go anywhere near her. And even when I do get near her she always welcomes me with an angry bark.

Oh bite me!


P.S.
Pictures above are from Pearl Farm Beach resort, the last picture is how my bite mark looks now. I put a red circle around it so that it's easier to see.

What Kind of Fruit Are YOu?


Sorry guys, I was a bit bored and decided to take the "What Kind Of Fruit Are You?" quiz from BLOGTHINGS .
This quiz says that I'm A Strawberry. So, here's a description for someone who is a strawberry:


You are friendly, outgoing, and well liked by many people.

You are popular, but there's nothing ordinary or average about you.


You are a very interesting person, and you have many facets to your personality.

Sometimes you feel very conflicted. Your different sides of your personality pull at you.


You are a very sensual and passionate person.
You are fiery... you can't help it.
In general, you keep your passionate side under wraps. You are only wild in private.

Hmmm parts of it is right on the dot. I do have many sides to my personality as I'm sure most of you probably do too. But I have learned to have these different aspects work together to make a balanced peaceful whole. Passionate person? Oh definitely. I live life with a passion and usually make decisions based on how I feel. Which I guess sometimes gets me into trouble since I hardly ever listen to what my mind is saying. I am wild in private??? OOo...now that I'm not too sure about. That reminds me of a line in a song that goes something like " A lady in the streets but a freak in the sheets..." hehehehe...
Now Let's see WHAT KIND OF FRUIT is:

1.)
Andhari
2.)
Carina
3.)
Gwen
4.)
Angel
5.) Cheryl
6.)
Scoman
7.) Anne

My Best Friend Liz




Hey everyone! I was tagged a while ago from PINKNIC . This is the bag tag. Rules are as follows: 1. Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. No, you can't go into your closet and pull out your favorite purse! We want to know what you carried today or the last time you left the house.
2. List how much it cost. And this is not to judge. This is for entertainment purposes only. So spill it. And if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, we’d love to hear it.
3. Tag some chicks. And link back to this post so people know why the heck you’re showing everyone your bag.

Above is a picture of my best friend Liz (Liz Claiborne). Bought this bag about a year or so ago. I forgot how much this cost. I bought this for work. It looked like the kind of bag that meant business. The size is just wonderful, not too big and not too small. It's got tons of compartments inside and fits all my stuff.

The second picture shows all the stuff inside my bag.

1.) Alochol --- got to have it everywhere I go. I'm a bit of an O.C. and really have to sanitize everything.
2.) My pink make up pouch
3.) book: Boy Meets Girl

4.) Motorola V6 Maxx Cellphone
5.) Wallet- it's really old. you can probably tell because it's already a dirty shade of pink. But it has a sentimental value. It was given to me by my boyfriend a few birthdays ago.
6.) Notebook from Pearl Farm Beach Resort- please check out my post about Pearl Farm Beach Resort. That place is just sooooo beautiful. It was listed in the 100 places you must visit before you die. click here to read my post.

The third picture shows all the stuff I have inside my make up pouch:
1.) I have two lipglosses from Penshoppe (Candy and Cherry flavor)
2.) Bath & Body Works fresh pineapple lotion.

3.) face powder with mirror

4.) Lancome lipstick (stole it from my mom...ssshhhh) in the color PINK DRIP

5.) Clinique eyeshadow in dark gray shade.

6.) The white tablet is an antihistamine. If I'm allergic to something this should help. Especially if i'm sneezing a lot. Unfortunately there are some allergies this antihistamine won't cure like maybe an annoying officemate! hahahaha...
7.) The second tablet in a silver and green is a LOPERAMIDE- diarrhea can attack any time. I love to eat and eat and eat. And unfortunately if you eat to much then you might get diarrhea. I gotta carry this everywhere to prevent myself from throwing up and i don't mean from the mouth. hehehehe...
8.) Mama Coco's lip balm in Peppermint...yummy...

9.)pink blush
10.) white eye liner

11.) black eyeliner

12.) hanky

13.) hair tie.


So that's all the junk I have in my bag... Now let's see the bags of the following people:

1.)
Girl in Stiletto
2.)
Nashe from Where Did All the Pecans Go?
3.)
Carina the Blogarina
4.)
The Shopaholic Nightingale
5.)
Gagay
Anyone else who feels like doing the bag tag go ahead. I wanna see your bags too. =)

Wall

Hey everyone... I was reading through one of my old old diaries from a couple years ago and I found this poem I wrote for my boyfriend. Just wanted to share it with you guys... Happy Valentine's Day. =)

Wall

Locked myself inside a room
To live a loveless life was just my doom
Lonely as one may think it may be
But lonely is better than pain you see….
Been hurt time and time again
Love was just not my friend.
What I did not expect was to fall
For I had surrounded myself with a wall.
I locked myself into a room without a door
Love was just something which I was not looking for
But all this time that I had busily built this wall
You were inside with me after all.
Oh no….what am I to do
I’m stuck in here with you.
And worst part is I’m beginning to fall

And there’s no way out of this wall….

Wish


At a time when I had decided to forget about love, he came and broke through my wall and melted this icy heart of mine. Things didn’t come easy for us but somehow his gentle ways warmed my cold heart. We’ve been officially a couple for about 3 years and 9 months. The first two years was just wonderful. I learned to love, love with all my heart and all I had. There was never a day when we didn’t see each other. He was my friend, my confidante, my everything. He made me feel beautiful even if I was having a bad hair day, even if I had food stuck in my braces, even if I had no make up. With him I could just be me. I was his princess and he was my prince.

There was never a day when my prince and I didn’t see each other. He completed my day. Rain or shine I could always count on my prince. He turned rainy days into beautiful movie marathon, cuddling on the couch moments. He warmed my heart like hot choco on a cold cold day. His kisses gave me butterflies that made me feel like I could fly and touch the sky. He was ever so caring, ever so gentle. We were there for each other and time had only made our relationship stronger. He believed in me when even I could not believe in what I was capable of achieving.

On the day of our 3rd anniversary it was stormy. The clouds cried a million tears and the winds raged like angry tornadoes. Maybe this was a sign of what was to coming for our 3rd year. Despite the storm I felt so warm, so safe in his arms. Nothing could scare me as long as I had my prince by my side. But where is he now?

Sometime into our 3rd year I saw him less and less. We used to see each other everyday, then every two weeks he would stay in the city for a week. And now it’s just a weekend thing. He tells me it’s because of business and I believe him. I trust him and I know that it really is just business. But something changed. I feel as though I’m no longer part of his priority. I’m not asking to be number one on his priority list, I mean, who am I to ask this of him. I’ve never wanted to be the demanding type of girlfriend. His priorities now revolves around his family business and tennis.


I only see him every weekend. And when we see each other he talks non-stop about tennis and business. Where’s my prince? What happened to him? He no longer asks me how I’m doing. And his words have turned into an annoying buzzing bee to my ears. Absence makes the heart grow fonder so they say, but maybe in my case absence makes the heart grow numb. When he’s with me, I feel as though he’s not really with me. I can’t explain it but it tears me up inside. I’m willing to hold on as long as there is still someone holding on at the other side.

It’s easy to fall in love but so hard sometimes to stay in love. What should one do? “Hold it tight? But it might die. Let it sit in you’re hand but it might fly away? “Do people stay together because they are in love? Or do some people stay together just because they’ve been together for so long? Stay together though the magic’s gone?

This picture is a picture of us taken last week at a wishing well. He asked me what did I wish for…I said, nothing and smiled bitterly at him. What did I wish for? I wish to find the man I fell in love with 2 years ago. I wish we could be just the way we were back then.


“Love is a contradiction. It’s hard to find but easy to lose, makes you feel good but hurts you so bad, opens your eyes, but makes you blind, fills up your heart then tears it apart.”

Congrats and Best Wishes


Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. E…. It’s been about a week since my best friend got married. So far things are going well between the two of them, or so she says





TO: MR & MRS E:

Congratulations on your very special unity. From this day on your lives are bound together. This unity is not at all what I expect. I guess I have never really expected it would turn out like this. But I’m glad. I’m glad that the both of you have proved me wrong. Love is not about listening to what the world has to say, Love is not about listening to what your friends have to say. Love is about listening to your heart. And going for what you feel even if the whole world says otherwise. I’m proud of where you two are today.

Today is the beginning of your forever mores. Goodbye to the old life and hello to a lifetime commitment. In this new journey may you both overcome the many trials along the way. May these trials strengthen your relationship and help you become a better husband and wife for each other. Congrats Mr. and Mrs. E.

“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.”

Celebration

It's really amazing how fast the days have passed us by. Minutes turn to hours, hours to days, days to months, and well...you get the picture. Everyone's caught up trying to fit everything into their 24 hour schedule.

What was there yesterday is no longer here today. The noise house filled with laughter and the aroma of mom and dad's home cooked meals are just a distant past. A past which I can hardly recall. But anyways. I'll save details of that for my future post.

Today I'd like to encourage all of you to really make the most of your days. We often celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and other special events. But why not celebrate today, even if there is no special occasion? Just the mere fact that we are alive is something truly wonderful. The reason why I'm a bit sentimental and mellow today is because I just found out that one of our media partners passed away. She was a really nice jolly lady who always brought a smile to everyones faces. It's so strange for me to have to route my transactions with someone else.
She was still here a few days ago and now she's part of the past.

A lot of people have asked "how did she die? " She had a cardiac arrest on her way home from a fun night of ballroom dancing. I guess the question really isn't about how she died but rather, "How did she live her life?" Though we were not super close, I know for a fact that she was a very sweet lady, who loved life and lived with a passion.

So once again, I urge you, to celebrate every moment of our life, for life itself is a celebration, a celebration of our purpose, and our being here on earth.

"Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is a mystery, and today...well today is a gift, that's why it's called the present"

Whenever A Woman Lies

Hey everyone! This is an email which was forwarded to me a long long time ago. Just thought I would share this with all my fellow ladies out there. =)

One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, ‘My dear child, why are you crying?’ The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family. The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble s et with sapphires.

Is this your thimble?’ the Lord asked The seamstress replied, ‘No.’

The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a golden thimble studded with rubies.

‘Is this your thimble?’ the Lord asked. Again, the seamstress replied, ‘No.’

The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble.

‘Is this your thimble ?’ the Lord asked. The seamstress replied, ‘Yes.’ The Lord was pleased with the woman’s honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy.

Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water. When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, ‘Why are you crying?’ ‘Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!’

The Lord went down into the water and came up with George Clooney. ‘Is this your husband?’ the Lord asked.

‘Yes,’ cried the seamstress… The Lord was furious. ‘You lied! That is an untruth!’ The seamstress replied, ‘Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said ‘no’ to George Clooney, you would have come with Brad Pitt. Then if I said ‘no’ to him, you would have come up with my husband. Had I then said ‘yes,’ you would have given me all three. Lord, I’m not in the best of health and would not be able to take care of all three husbands, so THAT’S why I said ‘yes’ to George Clooney.

And so the Lord let her keep him.

The moral of this story is:

Whenever a woman lies, it’s for a good and honorable reason, and in the best interest of others. That’s our story, and we’re sticking to it.

Signed,

All Us Women

Have You Ever

I've Been Tagged again. This time I've been tagged by Carina. So here goes my answers to the Have You Ever questions...

Yes, I was in glee club back in Middle School. That was really fun. Then I sang at a couple parties. I still get nervous singing in public and I don't think I will ever overcome that.

8. Have you ever fallen or stumbled in front of others?

It's Not So Bad After All

Lately I've been extremely busy. It seems like I'm spending more time at work than with the people I love. 24 hours in a day is not enough. My life is stuck in an exhausting rut.
My daily schedule is as follows:
1.) Wake up by 5am to get ready for work.
2.) Leave the house by 7:15am so I can be in the office by 8am.
3.) Work from 8am-12pm.
4.) Lunch from 12pm-1pm.
5.) Mondays-Thursdays I get off work by 6pm
Fridays I get off work by 5pm
Saturday only 4 hours of work (yey!)
6.) Stuck in traffic for 30 minutes on the way home from work.
7.) Dinner with mommy by 6:30pm-7pm.
8.) 7pm-9pm Bonding with Mommy
9.) 9pm work out a little bit.
10.) 11pm- 12midnight... i'm either reading a book or writing in my diary.
11.) 12midnight- 1am I'm on the internet

As you can see, most of my day is spent at the office. I have so little time for myself. I'm really wishing I had more time for myself and for my family and friends. Sundays are basically the only time I have to enjoy. I have been sulking about my daily work schedule for some time now.

I was feeling awful about my schedule until I found out what happened to my other friend. We had just talked about how our work was eating our time from doing the things we want. then all of a sudden she received a notice from work that her contract would not be renewed! That's awful! She gave her heart and time to her work and then all of the sudden this is what happens? She was given two days to endorse everything and after that she was gone. And now she's jobless and is busy applying from one company to another.

I realized maybe having a job is not that bad after all. Here I am sulking about my schedule when all over the world people are being laid off and are jobless...

Me, Myself, and I

Yey! I was tagged once again by my ever so pretty friend Andhari . As the title suggests, this portion is all about me. So for all those bloggers out there reading my blog, here's your chance to get to know me a little better...
1.) I love the color pink.
2.) I'm a hopeless romantic.
