About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Now, I vow to devote myself, with whole body and mind, to examining this life as it is.

ABOUT ME

I am confused by my cultural identity at times. I don't think like a modern commie-minded Chinese. Though I sound just like a mid-western American gal, I am obviously not one of them either. I am a believer in the common goodness of Humanity, and find no point figuring out what I am any more. :-)

PHILOSOPHY

It's all about being present, right here, right now.
