EDUCATION: Currently in my 3rd term of nursing school. I've enrolled in an accelerated program so I'm graduating Oct. 26 2007. Wanting to specialize in pediatric oncology. (kids with cancer)
ETHNICITY: I'm 100% CHINESE and dsmn proud of it; but it doesn't mean that I'm a racist or a full blown nationalist. Just proud of who I am. I hate people who think they're better than others just b/c of their race. We are all made in God's image.
FAMILY: One older sister and two older brothers. They are my best friends. I take care of my dad b/c he has been sick for a few years, he's the strongest and wisest man I know. One step dad who loves me. And I have the best mom in the world. two turtles named hippo and penguin, two dogs named max and tummy, and a lovebird named WaMu.
RELIGION: I love God. No doubt about that. Nothing will ever hinder my faith. Every hardship seems to bring me closer to Him. Favorite verse Psalm 23.
POLITICS: Support our troops but against the war. Liberal republican, or conservative democrat..whichever you prefer to label me. I guess you can call me a moderate. But i'm far from lukewarm.
ROMANCE
FAVORITE QUOTES:
"By the prickling of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." -Shakespeare
*my all time favorite that everyone likes to steal: "IT IS BETTER TO DIE ON YOUR FEET THAN LIVE ON YOUR KNEES" -Emiliano Zapata
"And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart." -jeremiah 24:7
"And die of nothing but a rage to live." -Alexander Pope
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. " -Friedrich Nietzsche
"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;" -from the poem Eloisa to Abelard
"So was I once myself a swinger of birches; And so I dream of going back to be. It's when I'm weary of considerations, And life is too much like a pathless wood 45 Where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs Broken across it, and one eye is weeping From a twig's having lashed across it open. I'd like to get away from earth awhile And then come back to it and begin over. 50 May no fate wilfully misunderstand me And half grant what I wish and snatch me away Not to return. Earth's the right place for love: I don't know where it's likely to go better. I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree, 55 And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more, But dipped its top and set me down again. That would be good both going and coming back. One could do worse than be a swinger of birches." -R. Frost
"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness. " - Friedrich Nietzsche, "On Reading and Writing"
"I do not want people to be agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them. " -Jane Austen
"If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out. " -from the book Mansfield Park
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.
"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back."

My Interests

"YE THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH I SHALL FEAR NO EVIL FOR THOU ART WITH ME." PSALM23

I'd like to meet:

Good friends are hard to come by...so I guess true friends that won't stab my back. And at the least, stay by my side.divMy grandma passed away, and I can't even begin to express how much that hurt me. I lost my dongseng Eugene in 2005, who was my everything.. And my little GODBROTHER, the reason for my smiles, JONATHAN CHOE got locked up and is facing 9 years.. SO I GUESS I'D LIKE TO MEET THE MANY SIGNIFICANT PEOPLE I HAVE LOST IN MY LIFE. I GUESS I'M HOPING THEY'LL FIND THEIR WAY BACK TO ME, OR ME TO THEM..Free my dongseng Justin Chung. And my godbrother Jonathan Choe3

Music:

I have a true appreciation for music. I love classical with an undying passion..mahler, bach, yiruma, are my favorite composers. I can just close my eyes and listen to it all day. In love with tony bennett, michael buble, frank sinatra, ella fitzgerald, nat king cole, billie holiday, etc...the GOOD music...they don't make it like that anymore haha.. LOVING rock3 any kind really.. hardcore, screamo,punk,ska, alternative.. I also listen to hip hop and RnB. Mainstream is alright, depends what artist and song. I'm more of an oldschool type of girl. krs1,big daddy kane, busybee, kool moe dee, tech9,*daz dillinger,warren g, MAC1O,2pac(of course), nas, dre..haha I guess they don't all count as oldschool, but you cool people get what I'm saying :p hahah. I listen to spanish music, chinese music, korean music, ANY MUSIC really. Country3gotta love it. haha. Christian music : ) OLDIES!There's good music out there. I just don't like to listen to meaningless music with lyrics that talk about the shininess of their car, or how many bitches and hoes they can get :p I'll dance to it if it has a good beat but you won't see me bumping that bullshit in my car hahah. But I'm very open minded. I love music3 without it I would die.

Movies:

Troy, 300, Pride and Prejudice, Somewhere in Time, Ten Things I Hate About You, Something Like You, The Gladiator...hmmm can't remember specific movie titles at the moment. Basically all historic war movies, love stories(tasteful not cheesy), stories based on factual occurences, anything that'll make me laugh or cry. EXCEPT scary movies..

Television:

I don't purposely watch tv except for news and sports. I'll breeze through the channels if I'm eating at home sometimes..maybe a little bit of judge milian lol 3 love that woman! hahah. Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about :p I love educational channels like discovery channel, animal planet, stuff like that. Maybe some lectures from ucberkely and stuff(even though they have an absurd liberal tilt to their lectures) I find it really interesting, cognitive behavioral research and whathaveyou.

Books:

I have to warn you..I'm a reader. haha. Started at a very early age. Here's some favorites(or what I can remember).......THE B1BLEE :]"JEREMIAH 24:7", REMEMBERANCE, L1TTLE WOMEN, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, TESS OF DUBERVILLE,(THE CLASS1CS BAS1CALLY),PHILOSOPHY BOOKS, FEAR AND TREMBLING, THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER, SCARLETTE IBIS, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, HISTORY BOOKS (KIND OF A HISTORY BUFF), ANNE OF GREEN GABLES SERIES, CHRONICLES OF NARNIA (I read them in 1st grade..literally), I LOVE READING PLAYS TOO (Our town, Julius Caesar,Much Ado About Nothing, The Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, Macbeth, Oedipus Rex,As You Like it, etc..)

But my all time favorite as of now...For One More Day3 dedicated to my wonderful mom and late grandma.

Heroes:

AS FOR HEROES..EVERYBODY HAS SOMETHING THAT I ADMIRE ABOUT THEM, THAT'S WHY I HATE SHITTALKERS. BUT BY FAR IT'S MY BROTHER, WHO IS THE EPITOME OF COMPASSION. MY SISTER WHOSE BEAUTIFUL, SUCCESSFUL, AND HAS A BEAUTIFUL HEART. MY MOTHER WHO WORKS SO HARD AND NEVER STOPS LOVING HER KIDS. MY DAD WHO'S GONE THROUGH SO MUCH AND HAS TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING..I'M HIS TWIN : ). MY COUSIN GARETH (MY ADOPTED BROTHER) WHO DOESN'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING BUT STILL SHOWS ME HE LOVES ME AND UNDERSTANDS ME. AND LASTLY OF COURSE MY LITTLE BROTHER EUGENE "TROUBLEZ" WHO PASSED AWAY. HE TAUGHT ME SO MUCH FOR SOMEONE SO YOUNG. HE WAS GOING TO BE SOMETHING WHEN HE GREW UP..HE WAS EVERYTHING TO ME..HE'S WHAT KEPT ME GOING..
