Share Your World – 2016 Week #12


Wanting something to quench your thirst, what would you drink?

glass-water-on-moss-food-1-screensaver

Cool water (not ice cold but not room-temperature warm)  but if it’s very hot outside, I’ll take an ice water. Then, I’ll drink the water and rub the ice against my skin to keep cool.

What made you feel good this past week?

I finally made a trip to the Family History Library in Downtown Salt Lake and learned how to search for my family. I’ve been wanting to go to that place for a long long long time because I’ve been super curious about my genealogy and now that I’ve gone, I know how to continue with my search.

When you’re alone at home, do you wear shoes, socks, slippers, or go barefoot?

I’d always go barefoot, that is unless I’m on hard floor. Otherwise, on carpet, I’d be barefoot. I’m not really a fan of wearing shoes because I’m clumsy and wearing shoes would just increase my chances of tripping.

Would you rather live where it is always hot or always cold?

Uh, how about neither? I don’t like either of those extremes. I think somewhere in between would be just fine.

A-Z Challenge 2016 Theme


I didn’t know this is theme reveal day, otherwise, I’d be more prepared. Anyway, this will be my second year participating in the A-Z challenge and I signed up several months back. If you look at the sign-up page, I’m number 168, that should tell you just how long ago I signed up.

atoz-theme-reveal-2016 v2

Last year, I didn’t really had a theme even though I “claimed” I did. I just went with whatever I could think about that day. This year, however, I do have a theme and that theme is

Quotes!

Each day for 26 days, I will feature a quote. The topic or author of the quote will match to the letter of the day. For example, I for Inspiration. I got the idea from doing the 3 Day 3 Quote challenge and from last year’s participation. Beneath the quote, I’ll write something, maybe the quote is related to me somehow or maybe I’ll pose a question.

I hope you will enjoy the weekday quotes for the next month. Now the question is, can I keep up with this theme? Or will I go off to some random theme in the middle month like last year? Who knows?! I guess we’ll see.

How many siblings do you have? What’s your birth order?

I don’t have any siblings but if I did, I’d be the second child. My mom had a miscarriage before me. So if that didn’t happen, I’ll be the younger sibling. Actually, I wouldn’t even exist because of the one-child rule in China. So consider me the lucky one.

In a car would you rather drive or be a passenger?

I would rather drive because I think I’d see more as a driver than a passenger. As a passenger, I’ll more likely fall asleep.

When you lose electricity in a storm, do you light the candles or turn on the flashlight? How many of each do you own?

I have a lot of candles at home, boxes and boxes and they’re all from a while back. We buy rare candles from thrift store and our friends gave us a few boxes. Also, some people collects coins, some collects stamps, my mom collects candles and candle houses. I bet you can’t even tell that inside that house is a candle, right?

However, I like flashlights better, at least a flashlight does not have the risk of a fire.

List at least five of your favorite types of animals? (any animal to domestic to wild to marine life).13911322_21n

  1. Dog
  2. Cat
  3. Panda Bear
  4. Bear (black/brown/white)
  5. Sheep (year of the sheep)
  6. Koala Bear
  7. Kangaroo
  8. Lioness (not a fan of the mane) or young lion
  9. Tiger

All About Conflicts


No Foreshadower today. I know some of you are really looking forward to another episode but I just didn’t get to it even with my week-long break. So instead, I’ll post the comics I did this week for my Behavioral Management class’s group project. It is all about the chapter we are set to present on Thursday, Conflicts. Hope you enjoy.

The links for each comic is below the image, that is if you’re having trouble reading the texts.

What would you ask for if a genie granted you three wishes?

  1. Be smarter, flexible in the mind, and cunning
  2. Be braver, courageous, and able to stand up for myself (have more guts)
  3. Be more daring and adventurous in life

What experiences are most meaningful to you?b12993eea56a2173bfa75028e3bc4c11

Probably one of those things I may never achieve (the quote). A meaningful experience is something unique (out of routine), new, memorable, and in the moment. Like going bowling for the first time or for me, trying new foods for the first time.

As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a lot of things. My dream career kept changing as I grew up. First, because my mom was a teacher when she was in China, so naturally, as a kid, I wanted to be a teacher too. I got a taste of that and I hated it. Next, I wanted to be a singer and then a movie director, and then it was a graphic artist. At the moment, even at nearly 25, I still haven’t achieve my dream career. It’s still evolving and may never stop.

Complete this sentence: The best day of my life was….

There has been quite a few best days and one of them resurfaced last week during my therapy session. When I was in Texas and living with mymilkshake2 step-grandparents, we would go to church on Sundays and then after, we would stop at a fast food joint and they would get me whatever I want. My favorite place was Burger King.

The sizes at the Burger Kings in Texas are different from anywhere else. Its smallest is a medium, and then large, and king. The medium were plenty big, at least bigger than what I have at the Burger Kings in Utah.

Anyway, I would have the Big Fish and a milkshake and I was the happiest girl in the world. I no longer cared of how ridiculous I looked in high heels, dress, and make-up, at that moment, I was in a different world and this is why it’s one of the best days of my life because I got to forget temporarily how screw-up my mom and step-dad were and how they couldn’t stop fighting.

Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Sepia Tone Only


wp-1456629365727.jpeg

So I finally brought my camera with me to school but so far, I haven’t been able to capture a lot of images. This is one of them. My original goal was to take this in the dark because the minute and second hands light up but I missed my chance. Now, I’ll just have to wait until winter to capture it again.

This is a magnificent object in the school. It’s about the only thing that stands out for miles and with the mountains in the back, the scenery is breathtaking.

wp-1456629559895.jpeg

This was taken in the moment, just seconds before I had to sprint to catch the shuttle last week. For some reason, the mountains look incredibly close. It looks like the mountains are just beyond those buildings and stairs.

I’ve just spent the majority of this week taking mid-terms and even after the deep massage on Wednesday, my back still aches and so is my head. Maybe I need a couple more sessions.

Reflection Over Coffee #13


Happy President’s Day to people in the U.S. We get an extra day for our weekend. Woo Hoo. For that reason, I am ditching this week’s Reflection over Coffee (shh, don’t tell my co-host) and let my co-host, Angela take over. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of surprises. I just hope Angela won’t mess up the stage. I wouldn’t want to return next week to a train wreck. 😉

Share Your World – 2016 Week #6


1. What is your favorite word? 

I don’t have a specific favorite word but phrases, I have plenty, maybe too many to name. Just general praises will do like Great job! or Excellent!

2. What is your least favorite word?

Stupid and its synonyms like Idiot or Nincompoop. Such a harsh thing to call anyone. We’re all human and not perfect.

3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?

  • Creativity – writing a story
  • Spiritually – meditation
  • Emotionally – watch a TV show or movie

4. What turns you off?

There is nothing more turned off than a realist. You know when you watch a show on TV and someone comes in and scoffs, “that will never happen in real life.”

That’s why it’s called a TV show. That’s why there’s fiction and non-fiction. It’s not real! Where’s your creativity?realists-demotivator

5. What is your favorite curse word? Damn

6. What sound or noise do you love?

Gentle summer rain or water flowing down a stream. It’s what I listen to when I need to relax or sleep. Just go on YouTube and search, it’s real peaceful.2bef3000e03108e881930521ee480a74

7. What sound or noise do you hate?

There is nothing worse than planes (fighter jets and the newest F35s) zooming over my roof and babies/children’s shrilling high-pitch cries and screams. The planes are like a very loud annoying fly buzzing around and have you endure a child’s scream? You can practically feel your ear-drums shatter and mind exploding at the noise. 

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?

I really like to try graphic artist or a director but I think I’m partially accomplishing that right now with my comic strips.  

9. What profession would you not like to do?

I don’t like to be a translator even it’s currently paying most of my bills. I hate that job. If I’m not being micro-managed by my mom, I’ll quit the job at the first chance I get. Beside that, the other profession I would not want is doctor. The education seems too hard and I’ve already wasted 7 years in college. 

10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

He would say, “Let’s go find you another vessel,” and I would reply, “okie doke.”  

Although I believe in God, I do not believe in heaven or hell. I believe in spiritual reincarnation, that our souls will be recycled into another life.
