Mr. T Minus 10 Days: Leaving Level 42

To The Easter Bunny & All April Fools:

This year has been a great learning experience.  Oh yeah, it's been fun too.  Not the same kind of fun like when I traveled to Europe, SF and Miami, in addition to whitewater rafting and surfing in California.  The enjoyment of personal growth and moving forward with my life is what I'm talking about.

I will say, there's been challenges and dark nights of the soul as well.  Letting go of old baggage and toxic people isn't easy.  I still have some ways to go with this though.  All in all, progress makes it definitely worthwhile, I feel.  I may post some picts here and a video or two.  I can say I am happy to go through and trust the process of life.

Thank you, Level 42!  It's been real!  :-)

And now, please enjoy a music video from a group by the same name below:

80 Years Young! Happy Birthday, Mom! :-)

Today, we celebrate Mom's 80th birthday!

She has always been someone that I could lean on during my low times.  In childhood, I suffered from feelings of inadequacy, and thus was often alienated from the other kids at school.  Even during these moments, no matter how bad I was doing emotionally, I knew I could take comfort in my mom's compassion and understanding.

When our dad left us, Mom stepped in to play the role of both parents for my brother, Rudy and I.  It wasn't easy.  Though many times there was strong conflict, our mom remained grounded for the both of us.  Our family dynamics is far from perfect.  No one knows what will happen in the future.  What I can say, for sure, is that this day was a good day.  For that, I am grateful.

Thank you, Mom.  I love you.  :-)

Happy New Year of the Red Monkey 2016!

Happy New Year of the Red Monkey, Everyone! :) #LunarNewYear #monkey #success #fortune #luck #thatway #yesoverthere #lol

May this year be truly a year of realized possibilities!

The Lunar New Year is a good time to have that "gut check" on our New Year resolutions. If we're off track, let's have another fresh start and not dwell on wasted time (that would be a waste of time in itself!).

Late Post: Happy New Year 2016!

Late Post: #Goals for #2016.  
After a full day of planning, this is what I have so far.  It was quite mentality exhausting, though I feel it's worth it!   Will work on it some more today and tomorrow.  #happynewyear #abundance #plans #direction #excited #thankyou

Happy Holidays: A New Beginning!

Moved into the new place just in time for the holidays!  I feel I've made a lot of progress in 2015, most of which is personal development.  My career has also improved also.  Once I have more concrete, noticeable results, I'll be sure to elaborate.  May add more to this blog.  In the meantime, please enjoy my photos below.  :)  #Happy #holidays #merrychristmas #new#chapter #beginning #spacious #lemon #tree#abundance #suburbanite

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is the 1st time in a while that I'm off the hook cooking the turkey lol. Instead, I bought some dim sum and roast duck along with some red wine. smile emoticon

11 11

Would like to take this moment to update this blog entry.  For me, 11 11 has been a reminder to be present, thankful and to trust the process of life.  I understand that many interpret 11 11 differently, whether it be a time to make a wish or a sign or an omen.  Either way, I believe that our thoughts create our life.  So perhaps, we are all correct, saying the same thing in various ways.  Would like to find a photo or video to post under, so all are welcome to check back later...or not.  Take care.  :-)

Happy "Back to the Future" Day!

Anyone who really knows me, knows I like things that deal with time travel.  I had to post this up!  In a sense, our past is our future if we understand our mind.  One could say, we create our future by the thoughts we think and the words we speak.  So if we are in a loop of experiences we don't want, then perhaps we are going back to the future repeatedly, kinda like in another 80's classic, "Groundhog Day".  We may even extend it to past lives and what is going on now.  Just food for thought.  Enjoy this day!  :-)
