About Me

Layout from DazzleJunction.com
The best way to describe my PRESENT self is through the two poems I wrote below. It's a bit long, but I wrote it very sincerely, hope you enjoy!
****** Life is Never a Ready Act ******
(by Sandra N Shin, 25 April 2008)Gotta get on the internet to book my air-ticket,
Gotta pack my suitcase heading to the journey.
God I’m just so not ready yet,
Where to gather this courage for facing the unknown.
God I’m just so scared to death,
Where to find your mercy again to show me the way.
God all I need is a little bit of your grace,
To lift me up a little bit when I’m falling down so quickly,
Give me a little bit time to raise myself from the weakness.
Give me a little bit time to restore my mind from the restless thoughts.
Give me a little bit time to sing a brave song for my weary heart.
Give me a little bit time to say a silent prayer for my frightened soul.Life has taken me this far with no turning back,
Dreams have become the only purpose of my life.
Even I don’t see the light yet I do believe in destiny,
For you’ve made me with a brave soul to fly higher,
You’ve made me with an imaginative mind to search deeper,
You’ve made me with colorful emotions to sense greater,
You’ve made me with dreaming eyes to visualize bigger.
God please don’t let me stop here for surrendering to fears,
Please don’t make me regretful for the things I haven’t dared to try,
Please don’t send me back to the darkness before it’s too late to run,
Please don’t take my breath away before I haven’t lived a fulfilled life,
For I believe the best is yet to come when you’re with me.So let me take a little step further with your almighty power,
Let me re-gather my strength with your magic hands upon my soul,
Let me return to the home of your kingdom to re-find my inner peace,
Let me continue to live a dream to glorify your salvation of eternal love,
Let me just take a little step further from where I am,
And I know I’m going to be fine once again with you by my side.
Even I’m not ready yet and I’m so consumed by my fears,
It’s okay for me to get up going to unlock the uncertain mystery,
For life is never a ready act,
But a journey of breaking all fears with your loving grace,
For each of us is made by the image of your true love
And we’re born to shine for your almightiness,
to witness your magnificent creation!!
(Copyright 2004-2008 Sandra N Shin Poetry)**** I AM WHAT I AM ****
I'm contradictory,
And I'm multi-dimensional,
Which I'm proud of,
Because I'm special and unique. I'm mature,
And I'm also immature sometimes,
But I'm certainly not naive,
It's just that I have so much to dream
In this life out of the cruel reality. I'm sincere,
But I'm also wild at heart,
This is the way how I keep my mind opened
To the wonder of the world.I'm artistic,
And I'm spiritual,
It's something that I can't separate,
When I'm experiencing my creativity.I'm boring when I'm writing,
Yet I'm cool when I'm playing,
And I feel sexy when I'm dancing.I'm a writer even no one recognizes me,
I'm a singer even no one listens to me,
I'm an actress even no one watches me,
I'm a star even no one cheers at me.I'm open-minded and flexible
When I'm talking to people,
But I'm single-minded and stubborn
When I'm chasing my dreams,
It's a kind of the principle
I've made for this life,
Without it I am incomplete.I'm expressive when I'm feeling good,
I'm inexpressive when I'm stuck in my own world,
It's just a kind of journey that I'm going through,
And no one can change that.I'm self-centered when I'm searching for my soul,
And I'm unselfish when I'm helping friends,
It's always been my personality throughout my life.I'm persistent,
And I'm also impatient,
They are my strength and my weakness.Maybe I'm not easy to be understood,
Because I'm not rational
When I'm dealing with my emotions,
But this is the way to keep my creativity.
Maybe I'm impulsive without a sign
It's just the way I'm running my new ideas.
Maybe I'm crazy about my dreams
For it's the best way to keep myself alive.Going through different time,
Meeting different people,
Living in different places,
Learning about different cultures,
I have come to realize
That I AM WHAT I AM
And whom I am proud of!

China Earthquake 2008, Footprints in the sand - Leona Lewis

You walked with me
footprints in the sand
And helped me understand
where I'm going
You walked with me
when I was all alone
With so much I know
along the way
Then I heard you say
I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled
with sorrow and despair
I'll carry you when you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand

*Repeat*
I see my life
flash across the sky
So many times have I been so afraid
And just when I have thought
I've lost my way
you give me strength to carry on
That's when I heard you say
*Repeat*
When I'm weary, well,
I know you'll be there
And I can feel you when you say
*Repeat* x 2
GOD HAVE MERCY ON THOSE SUFFERED ONES ...

(The 2nd poem dedicated to Charlie David &
his amazing loyal fans)
~ written by Sandra N Shin, May 1 2008 ~
If the best is to admire you from far,
Then I’ll keep this admiration deep down inside my heart.
If the best is to adore you from far,
Then I’ll keep this forever adoration in a heart-made box.
If the best is to connect with you from far,
Then I’ll stand somewhere with a gentle whisper,
If the best is to make you happy from far,
Then I’ll send you joyful vibes from another side of the ocean,
If the best is to praise you from far,
Then I’ll create a beautiful symphony just dedicated to you,
If the best is to support you from far,
Then I’ll do it quietly without any hesitation,
If the best is to wish you from far,
Then I’ll say a sweet prayer in a sacred place.
If the best is to watch your success from far,
Then I’ll collect each of your great works with passion.
If the best is to cheer you from far,
Then I’ll speak out loud for your beauty wherever I go.
If the best for you is always from far,
Then I’ll do it with every effort,
For the best love is always the free one from far …

*** Chocolate Charlie ***
(My 3rd poetry dedicated to Charlie David,
the most beautiful gay angel in the world)
~ Written by Sandra N Shin, May 25, 2008 ~
You’re made by special ingredients,
You're as sweet as
The most delicious chocolate in the paradise.
Your hair is chocolate color,
Your eyes are chocolate-teasing,
Your smile is chocolate-attractive,
Your voice is chocolate-sweet,
Your body is chocolate-seductive,
Oh, Charlie you're just so chocolate!
As you flirt you sparkle like chocolate,
As you move you vibrate like chocolate,
As you dance you sweat like chocolate,
As you write your story tastes like chocolate,
As you show up your surroundings are sweetened like chocolate.
Oh, Charlie you’re just so super chocolate!
There’s no one could escape from your chocolate passion,
There’s no one could resist your chocolate sensation,
There’s no one could stop craving for your chocolate charm,
There’s no one could breathe without your chocolate air,
There’s no one could make an impression as chocolate as you are,
Oh, chocolate Charlie, what are you waiting for?!
Come to show your chocolate phenomenon to the world,
We’re all hopelessly looking forward to experiencing your chocolate impact!
