Tulips in my garden
Like lotus flowers floating in the air
once a year full bloom
Pear tree blossoms. What a view from my bedroom windows. I can tell we're gonna have lots of pears later this year.

Big River Man
Went for a jog at 5:30pm today. I did better than my last jog! ^_^ Jia You!
I highly recommend the movie Big River Man. I watched it at Sondheim Theater last night. Big River Man, Martin Strel himself showed up at the showing and stayed for Q & A. This is one of the perks living in Fairfield. This community is so blessed to constantly having special guests like Martin. Martin is such a simple man, with incredible vision and drive. I just love him for that.
He did mention that the wine that he drank while swimming the mighty Amazon river had only 1% alcohol content. The movie made him look like an alcoholic, for Hollywood effect.
Go watch this movie, and you’ll love the homorous Martin and be inspired at the same time.

Pepper Potts
I am hired by Hedquist Productions to do a mandarin voice-over for Marvel online comic book, Iron Man! My role is Pepper Potts, Iron Man’s assistant. Although I only have six lines in this short comic animation, I feel so honored that I’ve been chosen out of so many talents from all over the country. The main characters were professionals from L.A. and NY!! 🙂

We just had the official recording couple hours ago. Oh, it was so nice to talk in Mandarin. I love my mother tongue language.

Recording at Hedquist Productions, in my Sunday sweater and sweatpants. hahaha. Comfort comes 1st
Morning Jog
Lovely Sunday.
My legs and feet are feeling sore from half hour jogging yesterday. I don’t know what got to me, I get up at 8am and went for a jog.
What’s the best time to work out?
Based on The Body Sculpting Bible For Women, Page 49:
“We recommend you work out in the morning as soon as you wake up. Drink 16 ounces of cold water before you start the workout and an additional 30 – 60 ounces during the activity…. We recommend working out first thing in the morning on an empty stomach because you will burn 300% more body fat this way. In the morning you body doesn’t have any carbohydrates to burn. In the absence of carbohydrates, your body goes straight to the fat stores in order to get the energy necessary to do the work. Another good reason to work out in the morning is that at this time growth hormone levels are at their highest levels. Working otu in the morning will allow you to expedite the fat loss process for dramatic results.”
I haven’t been exercising at all, the whole winter! After jogging for a while, I almost felt like throwing up.  How pathetic was that? I wasn’t shocked though. I know how unfit I am.
However, I was proud of myself. I did what I could. It was refreshing to enjoy the spring flowers while jogging/walking. 🙂
Cooking Again
After a month long of having raw fruits and veggies, finally I started cooking again yesterday. It was mostly for Karan.
Kai was happy to enjoy the aroma from the food.
IÂ miss my raw food. So, I try to have at least something raw every day. Cucumber, strawberries, grape fruit, figs, etc. Fresh fruits/veggies are so full of life. My body can definitely recognize that.
I ate a tiny slice of cold oven baked cake. I couldn’t resist. It was so good.
To make myself feel better, I did 50 sit-ups. 🙂
