this is what happens when we get HUNGRY.

I don't know what i was doing in this picture but yeah...i was born that way.

-----------------a peek into the past-------------------------

On the train to the airport, I couldn’t help but dwell on the movie I watched the night prior. Blood Diamond.

excellent movie and excellent performances by Leonardo dicaprio and Djimon Hounsou. What triggered the deep reflection was a little black boy about 5 yrs old. He held a starbucks drink with this mother (probably single black female) pushing his carriage. Even at a young age, he had a cute personality of his own.

Mother: “is that chai tea good?”

Boy: “yes.”

Mother: “can I have some?”

Boy: “no.”

Mother: “I bought it. So it’s mine.” (She lovingly snatched it from him and sipped some.)

Boy (reaching for it): “mine!”

Mother: “can I have some of YOURS?”

Boy (shifty eyes): “yes.”

As you know I’m a trained psycho-observer but I wasn’t trying to analyze anything. I truly enjoyed the observation at the time. it made me smile… but what came to mind after, was the African kids that were abducted and brainwashed in the film. There’s still 200,000 african kids subjected to this in Africa today. Makes me really sad.

I reflected on my life and what my goals are. How many children in this world don’t get the opportunities that I’m blessed with? (rhetoric)

The scene of Djimon and his son stood out. The torment on his soul in discovering from his wife that his son was missing (could be captured, could be dead). He was such an honest man, he didn’t know how to lie. He reminded me of my father during the Cambodian civil war, leaving weeks at a time, not knowing if his family would still be there when he returns.

Djimon said “if he is dead, then I’m as good as dead.”

In one of my many dinner table conversations about life in the khmer rouge internment camp, My father said that one day he returned and, from a distance, saw me standing (naked) on a hill near where we were stationed. I was probably 10-12 months old at the time. He said I began walking down the hill. Walking turned into jogging. Jogging turned into involuntary running. He was frightened but too far to catch me. The phrase he used to describe what he felt “his spirit jumping out of his body.”

 Fortunately, a boy walked out that was the same size and same age as me. I ran into him and all my momentum transfer into his body. As we collided, little me stood still and the boy went flying into a puddle of mud. Little me acted like nothing happened and walked away as the little boy cried out in pain. (we bursted out laughing at the dinner table).

My dad said other days I apparently wasn’t so lucky from his physical observation of the aftermath. He said he thought I was going to be brain damaged because my head was all in different shapes and colors from running and falling all over the place. Direct translation: people wouldn’t understand your head. LOL. still hold true today.

In a way, I felt sad because I might not ever know what it feels like to have a child and love someone else more than myself. I’m not sure if anyone can relate but I’ve always felt from a young age that there’s something waiting for me and so I have to prepare myself to make a sacrifice.

Well anyways, my father always wanted to give me the world, but he didn’t have the power. There I was feeling sorry for myself because I was deprived of things in my childhood. I can’t imagine the pain my father felt when he couldn’t afford the karate school when I was 7 yrs old. I was mal-treated as a child in the war and so my father always made sure I had enough to eat once we got to America. This is probably why I love food so much. Cheers! Hold the applause. There’s food coming.

Mango flavored mojito. really good.
RAN OUT OF FOOD!!! must eat train ticket to eliminate all traces.

all the FREE stuff i stole from the hotels. yay i luv freebies! must be the asian in me

Humanity has taken a step forward.

God bless.
