If you could hire someone to help you, would it be with cleaning, cooking, or yard work?
If I can hire someone to help me, it would definitely be cleaning and yard work. I enjoy cooking, so having someone to cook for me would just make me feel miserable that they would have all the fun. Cleaning and yard work, that’ll be great. I hate getting on my hands and knees to clean the floors, pull the dirt out of the vacuum filter, and don’t get me started with pulling the weeds. Ugh.
What makes you laugh the most?
It’s easy to make me laugh, simply tickle me, that should do it. What makes me laugh the most though is when I watch physical comedy. I’m sure those would make anyone laugh.
What was your favorite food when you were a child?
One of my favorite food when I was a child is Macaroni n’ Cheese and not the kind from the box. It’s the kind made from large soft elbow macaroni pasta with runny cheese. The only place I could get it was at school and that only became my favorite food after coming to the U.S. In China, I was consumed by the desire to get fast food that all other foods just became bland to me. Unfortunately though, I didn’t get a lot of fast food in China as you can read here.
List at least five favorite flowers or plants.
- Tulips
- Irises
- White rose
- Yellow rose
- Daisy

Are you left or right handed? Right handed.
If you had only one TV, would you prefer the TV in the living room or another room?
I only have one TV and it is all the way down in the family room and I think that’s a good place because my room is very small.
Have you ever participated in a distance walking, swimming, running, or biking event? Tell your story.
Oh, have I? I’ve participated in a jump rope contest when I was in China. Not much a story there other than it was a huge embarrassment for me because even though everyone in school knew I didn’t know how to jump rope, they still made me and while everyone did 100+ repetition per minute, I only did six. I think the teacher was just a big bully to choose me for such competition.
I also participated in a 50 meter dash in middle school and although I was racing against the slowest person in school, I still lost because something happened at the last second which force me to slow down. It was the strangest thing. I began feeling dizzy, weak, and breathless. It was like I couldn’t breathe. I think it had something to do with my heart but I never found out. I just knew my heart had some minor problems back then. Let’s just say I was once again humiliated.

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

Half-Light: Sunrises
February full-moon sunrise
March Sunrise
Early classes means driving to school before sunrise
I took all these pictures during the last month and they were all taken in the early in the morning. I love sunrises, there are always so many colors associated. I just don’t like getting this early. Good thing I only have three more weeks of school left.

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

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.

- Lioness (not a fan of the mane) or young lion

What would you ask for if a genie granted you three wishes?
- Be smarter, flexible in the mind, and cunning
- Be braver, courageous, and able to stand up for myself (have more guts)
- Be more daring and adventurous in life
What experiences are most meaningful to you?
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 my
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
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.
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.

Failed Imitation
I gotta be honest, when I saw this week’s photo challenge, I was a bit stumped because after I saw so many posting pictures of them or someone posing with statues, I knew I wouldn’t have any of those pictures lying around especially I don’t like to pose with things. After brainstorming for a few days, I finally came up with just the pictures to show.
When I took these pictures last December, I was still experimenting with the new camera. Both were taken with the Intelligent Auto setting (a what-turned-out-to-be-a useful setting). However, right before I pressed the shutter button for the first picture (the pretty one), the Intelligent Auto setting switched to Night setting and the flash was immediately turned off. I tried to snap one more (the second picture) but for some reason, the setting was reverted back to Auto. Thus, that’s the reason for the second picture.
Somethings just cannot be imitated, that includes shooting photographs.

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?
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.
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.
