Chinese New Year

When I lived in China at orphanage the only holiday we celebrated was Chinese New Years.. It was very festive and fun for us kids.. Tons of different food stay up all night and a lot of bright loud fireworks which we always enjoyed tremendously..of course like every year each of us got a red envelope usually filled with some cash. That make us happy of course. Chinese New Year is a huge holiday in China. It kinda neat how different countries has their own unique holidays. I can't really explain to you all what Chinese New Year was all about cause as kids having the chance to celebrate was fun and not going to school for a few weeks was  awesome;) cause the school and the teachers are very strict. Which I didn't very like school in China.. I still remember one time I forget my book for a class and I got slapped  in the face by the teacher..

Unless you are my father u will get gift-cards which is pretty nice;)

miracles do happen

Life passes by us so quickly, in a blink of my eyes it felt like my childhood didn't really existed until today that memory just flash back all because I met a boy named Jordan.. It's a Saturday night my family and I are having supper at China kitchen.. Jordan is full of energy who couldn't stop talking without a breath it seems like. Don't get me wrong he reminded me when I was his age and so childlike. As of now he might feel like everything is taken away from him that he's familiar with but along the way he will understand his future is much brighter then he can imagine. I personally been through what's he experience it's difficult but the one advantage I had was both of my sisters came from the same orphanage as me. My life has been truly blessed and am so thankful for everyone in my life. To me life is not a walk in the park on a sunny day but rather once awhile the rain pours and the storms follows.  At the orphanage I accepted everyone as my family no matters ifs its a cloudy day they somehow make my life seem so bright for that I am so grateful of my blessings in life. When months flew by and in June of 1999 a baby girl name Lu quan(Katie) who got adopted I was sad cause she's a cute baby who I took care of and play with. When John and Jan got ready to get on the bus to leave from the orphanage forever I started crying knowing I won't see her anymore..the following next year in 2001 of July my good friend Guo Dan got adopted by the same couple I was very upset. As this point I felt like losing everyone that I truly cared about.. So at night before I fall asleep I will ask please will I see them again? Will I be the girl that one day have parents who loves me? I guess at this point I just didn't think that God had a plan for me also, until a few months later I got a letter from John&jan saying they wanted to adopt me.. Which I was very happy about this letter which I didn't understand at the time.. May 8th 2001. Finally come and I got adopted by the same family.. Coming to America and get on a plane for first time was scary but seeing  Guodan at the airport in America  kind of make my fears disappear.. But sadly the first Chinese word came out of my mouth was PIG in Chinese to GUODAN that's very rude of me..believe me she wasn't happy with me.  So hate to cut this story short..

   I just want to say miracles happens in life it might take patience but in the end it's worth all the money in the world..maybe one day I will found the courage to drive a car and start my next journey. 

 For now thanks for anyone that's reading this miracle of my, it means u cared for that I am a very lucky lady whom at this time is trying to figure out life...Enjoy your Thursday!!!

Valentine's Day just around the corner

This holiday seems kind of pointless unless u have someone special in your life, that what I guess lot of people think. I enjoy most holidays cause I always think that holidays is like spend with closed friends and family. Don't get me wrong for a girl who ever have a boyfriend is kind of sad to watch couples holding hands. To say that I don't care that I don't have someone special in my life would be lying.. In my life to share memories with anyone would be kind of special and comforting to me.. Most importantly to have a person who not only judge me but understand who I am..walking down a beach or riding bikes to the park with a picnic seems romantic to me;😏  but like every year I will be spending  my Valentine's Day working then hopefully on a couch with a box of chocolate maybe then my heart be filled with sweetness;)

     I read a quote today and it make perfect sense to me!! 

         Anyone can catch your eyes but it takes someone special to catch your heart. 

       I hope you all have a special Valentine's Day!     

My grandmothers clock

At my grandmas house the time goes too fast

She always hides cookies in the oven

Her house is spotless and the radio is always on

There's no place like my grandmothers 

She says don't tell your mother! 

No rules at grandmas

Love her caramel popcorn balls  

Her sugar cookies was the best around

 I love my grandmas house

She's nicest woman on the block 

6 years seems so short like a train ride which I enjoyed

I work at a nursing home full of residents who has great sense of humor..

 At the very beginning I am very shy girl who didn't think this job is something I would enjoy. The thought of my own grandma who might be in a wheel chair or couldn't feed herself makes me very sad. Often Life and the different stages elderly people goes though seems so devastating. But in my eye no matter how old or young a person is we all has spunky personality or enjoys attention from everyone around us. My grandma is living at the nursing home that I am working at she enjoys bingo. And of course the company of others..whom couldn't resist desserts or jello. In my opinion she's a wonderful woman also a great cook in her earlier days.. Before she came to the nursing home she loved telling me to comb my hair and now she wants me to have a boyfriend. I would get annoyed with her at the same time she's my grandma whom cares about me. One of the sad part of working at a nursing home is people often leaves this earth cause health  issues or their old age. I try to do my best to get to know them individually and personally enjoys when they talk about their childhood or married life.. The way their eyes get wide or when  their face lit up like a Christmas tree almost as though like they are living through the memories. Which I truly enjoy listening.  Every job has the good and bad like life. As each individual I try my best to treat them like treasures in life. Cause they all are special in their own way. I would be lying to say that I have a perfect job. Perfect is a word that I don't quite believe in if you know what I mean. It amazes me that it's 2015 already, and I started in May of 2009. For now I am looking forward to the future and its little special moments..     Hope you all have a great day!!

  

Thank you for making life seem so inspirational      and sharing your journey with me..

It's the simple and little things that matters in life...

     To My Daring Mickey who's wild                     She looks through the windows as like there's another world 

      Beyond her imagination, wiggles her tails when the leafs fall  

      At night when she see herself in the mirror and often believes it's another Cat😯 

      Sometimes I wonder what's she thinks in that head of hers

      She's very alert to vehicles and must peak out when passing by our house 

   Very Playful and loves yarn.. My mother often calls her all kinds of names 

     The most common one is Brat or Come Down!(kitchen counter)

      (Hopefully y'all won't get sick of me talking about Mickie who's my cat)
