When I first moved to NY, I was 18 or 19. I hated it because I lived in Brooklyn, NY in this three family house basement. It was small, dark and smell. I lived there for almost 2 years and I moved away to Atlanta, GA. When I became a flight attendant, I have a chance to lived in NYC again but this time it was in my friend apt on Mulberry Street between Bayer and Canal Street. NYC just as I remember it 12 years ago...not a place I would like to lived in.
Today I see NYC very differently because of my good friend Mei Lin. Her boyfriend lived in this fabulous apt. on 43rd Street between 10th and 11th Avenue. This apt has a balcony with a fabulous view of the City and Hudson river. It was amazing...
I fell in love with the NYC today for the very first time...

Friends or Lovers...
I just finished watching episodes of Sex and the City. It made me think about friends who are married or with a boyfriend. Somewhere, somehow no matter how good friends you were, when it comes to choosing between hangings out with your best friend or love one. It seem love one is much more important. Aren't friends suppose to be friends forever? We are supposed to shared our sorrow and happiness together now and forever. What happen to the invincible commitment that we commit to when we said we will be friend forever?

Found wild chipmunk dying...poor chipmunk
I was rushing to my dentist appointment when I found a chipmunk laying in my garage floor, wasn't sure what it is at first. So I turned on the light and realize it was a chipmunk. Didn't know if it was alive or dead, I hit the floor with my slipper and it still didn't move. In a rush I had to pick it up with a chopstick and shoe box, leave it in my backyard with nuts and water till I come back from my appointment. When I came back from my appointment it moved a little. I think it might be sick or dying...poor chipmunk. It is so cute... I think I am going to name it CHOPSTICK.
Here are some pictures of this cute CHOPSTICK for memories:
May CHOPSTICK rest in peace...

A new beginning...
I started this career 2 years ago and I still loved it. It is such an exciting job. You get to meet people all over the places and see different cultures, foods and fashion.
So far my favorite place that I have been is Lisbon, Portugal. It is such a beautiful place...there is so much to do in Lisbon. The below photo I took was from Belem, one of Lisbon famous sight. It has a bakery/cafe close by that sell the best Portuguese tart. I still have to go back to see Sintra, another famous sight in Lisbon.
