About Me

I'm just an average asian gurl growing up, growing old day by day, trying to make it through this wacked up world. I've met a lotta people here and there...some good, some not so good. I've learned from each one...*shrug* and I guess they've learned from me. I'm laid back and mellow. Been through hell in back...but still...I'm pretty mellow. Made a few mistakes in my life...but hey...who doesn't? It's called " Live and Learn"...What have I learned?- Can't always please everybody and be happy with yourself at the same time- Gotta love yourself before you can love anybody else- If the situation you're in stinks, either get a clothes pin or get the heck out- Not everybody's gonna like you for who you are...and if they don't it's still okay.- It's never the end of the world...even if that boy doesn't like you anymore, or if someone won't forgive you...as long as you've learned and moved on.- It's useless to dwell over the past. What's done is done...set in stone...unchanging. Move on.- What's all the money in the world when you're not happy?- Don't be a push-over. If you believe in something, STICK WITH IT.There's so much more...That's why...if you only knew...
