Hello to those who actually read this.

I have been busy with work, going to school and work.  I started acupuncture school with only two classes and continue in community college.  Last week was my spring break, but I worked full time.  This past weekend I finally took it off and spent time with my dad and sister.  My dad bought me some clothes.  I was told I need to dress up more and not to wear sweats and t-shirts so much.. Ouch.. haha.. Its okay, I like changes. 

Since Dr. Shi Xue-Min was seeing patients at our office in Nov/Dec, we have kept busy after he left.  We have 2 interns as well as another female acupuncturist in our office.  A total of 7 employees added since a year and a half ago when it was just me.  I am glad for the growth and help.  It gives me the opportunity to ask them for help when I need it for school.  My mentor continues to teach me and push me to my limits that I thought I didnt have. 

One of our employees asked why I was single.  Haha, it only made me laugh because I said I was comfortable being alone.  She said, at school there are alot of single men, you will find someone.  But thats not my focus.  I want to learn, to be successful, doesnt anyone understand?  Oh well, when it happens, it happens..

I havent travelled anywhere lately.  I helped my sister pay for her trip to India last year.  She went with National Geographic, lucky.  Such beautiful results she came back with. 

Well, I better go, I need to figure out my argumentive essay I need to write.  I am still stuck on what I should write about!

Take care everyone!

Hello those of you who actually read this!

I have been busy, as usual.  But I started working full time at our office as manager.  I am stuck as the receptionist for all 5 days but inbetween I still do bodywork.  We have been getting too many patients now that we had to stop taking them.  Although summer here in Arizona is usually slow because of the 110 + degree heat, we are still fully booked daily. 

One of my clients that I work on is.. ALI!! 

He is such a great person as well as his family!! 

Well, hopefully I will start school this fall or next spring, I took a summer break from school since I got burnt out! 

Well, I hope everyone is enjoying their summer, I am.. starting my 6th book on leisure reading.  Any suggestions?

Take care!

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! I had a great weekend with festivities here.  Saturday was a full day of Native American Hoop Dance Contest.  Then I was invited to a New Year celebration at Master  Li's school which I accepted and attended.  It was fun!  This year is my year, year of the Tiger.. I'm a Tiger!! So happy!!  Well, I hope everyone has a great year and many blessings to all!!

Although I havent been writing here as much, I am still checking out the site daily.  There wasnt much to write here since I havent been doing much.  This year has gone quickly with alot happening. 

I was training with some kyokushin class here in AZ, but I tore 75% of my ligaments and tendons in my left elbow. (I'm a lefty!)  I was suppose to have entered into my first tournament to fight, but I wasnt able to participate since my injury.   My instructor went back to Japan in June and I havent practiced anything since then.  Starting this year, I am going to start back up in my training.  I still dont know where, but I have been asked to teach. 

My job has taken alot of my time.  I love what I do and I recently started giving discounts to people who donate clothes, or small items of hygiene products which I take to our local domestic violence shelter for women.  I feel that I am helping others, why cant I add this in as well to help more out there in need?  I have continued to learn from my boss.  I love what she teaches me and hopefully I can continue on with this adventure. 

I havent really traveled much except to Vegas alot with my sister to see bands play there.  I love music, and I am very passionate about what I listen to.  I ranges from old school punk, alternative to some classical, japanese drums/chinese music, to techno and world music like Del Castillo, which I cant understand what they sing about, but I love their music.  They recently became close friends and will be traveling to Europe for a few shows there.  You can find them at www.delcastillomusic.com .  Only other place I have traveled to is Seattle, Washington for the kyokushin tournament.  Such a beautiful place.  We were lucky because all weekend it was perfect, sunny weather.  We went to the Seattle Mariners baseball game.  What do you expect visiting a place and having to make a decision with a bunch of guys.  I was the only girl there! 

As the year closes, I decided to take 3 more college classes.  I cant wait.. I must be a nerd for wanting to go to school!  I hope I can get the motivation back into training! Someone encourage me!!

Take care and have a fun, safe 2010! 

Merry Christmas to everyone!
