passion

My driving force in life is passion.  It keeps me sane and centered.  Some peoples driving force is commitment, some is honesty.....I think all that....even passion...stems from love.  Every driving force stems from love.  Love of the nation, for self, for people, for God, for the community...for the family.......




Lets LOVE and freely LOVE.

Litter Bugs never prosper


I went to a local mall (the Curve) with my nephew Armand and took the elevators up to the third floor.  A man in his 20's was standing there and from the corner of my eye I could see that he dropped something.  I politely pointed the the piece of paper and said , ' Excuse me you dropped something'.  He didn't even look down, he said, ' I know, I already reloaded my credit'.  (Prepay credit for your mobile network can be bought in a form of a card and on it you just dial the number and key in the codes written on the card).


So this guy, doesn't need his prepaid card and just drops the trash on the floor.




Totally in disbelief of what an ass he has made hiself to be a proud litter bug...i walked over towards him, picked up the piece of paper and gave it to Armand and in a loud clear voice.

Armand what do we do with rubbish?  We throw it in the garbage. He took the piece of paper.

I told him what a good boy he was and that we always throw rubbing in the garbage.  I continued to tell Armand that The Curve has trash cans everywhere and we can throw it once we reach our floor.  The guy exited on the same floor.  And in front of him Armand gladly threw the piece of paper in the trash can located at the elevator area.


The shmuck just kept on walking with no shame.


I think he might've felt a tad bit small when a kid gladly threw a way his rubbish.  Moral of the story...before one willingly or unwilingly wants to look like an a** infront of younger kids...think twice, just throw away the trash.

My life's' philosophy - 3 L's and an E and a C (after E)




Cause that's the core of everything positive.  Love work, self, God, Family, friends, health and everything else in between.





If not now then when?





Life is too short to be all serious and imaged out! When I can't laugh at myself....i know i gotta check myself





Cause food unites people and its great for my soul  IT is my life's mission to appreciate great food  ;)  





I color my soul and everything else that i'm attached to, with color.  It makes life vibrant interesting and everything has to have that pizzaz with color.  Pink and turquoise and red are my pick me up colors  :)

As strong as your weakest link?

I have met many types of people from all over the world. I have experienced a whole spectrum of personalities.


And when the going gets tough people reach their breaking point and the not so "pretty side" of them comes out.


"They" (who ever 'they' maybe) say that the true colors of someone comes out when they show the ugly side of them. This is true. You can see someone's true colors, when you see how they respond to pressure, challenges and hardships.


However this point of view I believe is just 1/2 of it. What about the true colors of a person when they are in contribution, when they are kind and loving. That also shows the true colors of a person.


Though I have my 'bitching' sessions about certain few....complaining about their not so colorful true colors...they to have their moments where they really come out looking like a hero.


You know the saying 'you are as strong as your weakest link' that may be true....however i like to see it from a 'glass 1/2 full' point of view.  'You are as strong as your strongest link and weak as your weakest link'.




The duality of life is in everything.


Today....see everything from the duality of life. If you see hate....take a look at peace.  If you see peace don't be complacent...remind yourself of war so that you work on peace to ensure it lasts forever. 


**This entry has been saved as a draft for weeks.  Today after all the 'crap' going on in Kuala Lumpur, with the unfortunate incidences of ignorant backlash by vandalizing churches I thought to finally publish this post**


A lot of negativity, passionate FB status messages, people joining FB groups to support and not support this issue......let us all start with ourselves and make a change.  Channel that passion, that anger into useful positive action that takes our nation 10 steps forward again.  


Malaysia..let utilize our strengths as a multiracial society....by creating positive changes with one intention....give love.  This isn't the pretty side of Malaysia....lets use our strengths to have peace amongst EVERYONE.

A Decade, 1999 - 2009

Its been ten years since I've moved back home to Kuala Lumpur.


Its been surreal. A total blur at times. COnsidering before that I have never stayed at one place longer than 2.5 years.


Graduated from high school in Lima, Peru and came 'back' in 1999. 10 years....*takes a deep breath*


When i was 18, my story was...I spent my whole life overseas


Now i'm 28, my story is...i've been back for 10 years....


And when I'm 36.....I've spent 1/2 or my life overseas.


And God willing when i'm 54...i've spent most of my life in KL (assuming i don't move again)




The whole age thing has really gotten to me. I had to force myself to sit down and honestly ask why...and i realized. I feel i have not accomplished anything that I am proud of. I have been involved with amazing projects, but i feel inadequate at times when it comes to my accomplishment.


Someone close to me said, i feel this way cause i keep comparing my carrer with other people my age ...and they are way up there. He posed a different perspective.


I may not have the office or the PA or the huge salary...but I have passion for family, for my creativity. **I let this digest for a few days** My response


He has a point.....but...... or
He has a point.


I have accomplished and experienced so much however i know there is alot more in me. Im like the mercedes benz driving around in singapore....it can go super fast....but the merc can only explore 1/3 of its speed potential cause there is a speed limit. So its such a waste....its not allowed to fully go at high speed which is what the car is more than capable of doing.

(at this point some of you are reacting huh...? You comparing your self to a mercedes.?!?! )


I don't know if my analogy is good or not...I need a space where i can vroom vrooom vroommmmmmm and ride off at high speeds. Like P.Coelho said...


Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks.
Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned;
perhaps she won't suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow.
But when the person looks back-she will hear her heart”


Here is to a decade!! Celebrate, learn, move on. New moment.


K.L.,......K.L.....10 years....at times you have been great to me...at times you are just an ass. Regardless of the stress you have given me....I still love you (as long as you feed me great food...and you just tone it down with your traffic jams and road rage)


I started this blog...with the pure intention to write and share. I have gotten feedback which has motivated me to keep on writing. Which has led to 3 blogs and 2 twitter account and God knows how many email accounts..(Gotta love the internet!!!) I fell in love with writing/sharing/rambling/etcetcetc...Feel free to leave a comment or drop me an email :D



Happy Holidays & Happy new year....much love, adventure and a whole lot of great food
Welcome 2010...what will i make of you?!

Beauty...

From my previous blog entry, F an anonymous guest left a comment and asked me on my take on beauty.

"What's your take on beauty runs skin deep? I have encountered more often than not that beauty is essential even when u are looking for job. Do you think appearances and looks go a long way in life?"

Hmmm....

Well i can only talk about what I have experienced.

If I had a pretty face (pan asian chinese seem to sell well here, or if you have caucasian features) ....yeah I would milk it as much as it can......sell it till it can't be sold no more. Use it to my advantage....

However that's not me.....Beauty to me is more than what I see. I remember in high school there was this good looking guy....but his personality was ugly as butt....he was aloof, self centered and a bit too up himself...... his personality made him ugly.

I have met people which would be considered pleasent to look at but are just so amazingly beautiful......he had this presence about him...so much charisma..that he could read the dictionary and i would think it was charming!

I've been in the presence of beautiful (they just looked good)...but have the most blah, personality. total ZZZZZZzzzzzz

I don't think beauty is essential say if i were looking for a job (unless i was looking for a job to be on tv or to be an air stewardess).

If beauty get someone far in life...then good for them, if companies are biased and judge potential employees based on looks........boo to them. Yeah, it does happen...but bitching about them can only get me so far. Looks can get you far in life....if used to manipulate to get what you want...do I agree with this.....not at all..but it does happen.

I am a firm believer, presence, charisma, brains is beauty.. and can get you ahead further in life.

So anonymous F.....these are my views......
