I'd like to meet:
Every person you meet is like a book, waiting to share its wisdom and knowledge. At the end of your life, the quality of your existance can be measured by the size of your library.
I'd like to meet anyone who can positively expand my library.
Music:
I am a music fiend! I love going to concerts and I always have to be right up front. Because of this, I've actually sang on the mic with Papa Roach, I'm in No Doubt's "Running" video for a millisecond, I was able to see backstage at the Evanecssense concert. De La Soul and John Legend held my hand while they performed, and I was in Michelle Branch's tv special front row center. I have mad fun when it comes to concerts. Are you down?I love feel good music: Michelle Branch, The Fray, Raphael Saadiq, Luther Vandross, Fugees, Lauren Hill, No Doubt, Greenday, John Legend, Destiny's Child, Papa Roach, Evanescence, BEP, Alicia Keys, Switchfoot, Sean Paul, Babyface, 4th Avenue Jones, Ciara, Keyshia Cole and so much more!

Heroes:
My parents have taught me that through intelligence, risks, and humility comes success. My parents grew up in Vietnam and when they found out they were pregnant with me at an early age, they headed to America by boat to give me a better life. The boat made a detour to Indonesia where they gave birth to me at a refugee camp and lived there for 6 months to raise me and then got back on that boat to come to America. When they arrived in America, they knew no english and no one. They managed to get a job at a restaurant, get into Hayward State where they graduated as computer science majors in 4 years and top of the class. We had no car so my dad would take the bus in the pouring rain from Mountain View to San Jose when I was sick to see the doctor and he would take the bus in the rain to the market. They were struggling to make ends meet while we were on welfare, shopping at Good Will. My dad made it a tradition to take me to Toys R Us every Saturday to buy me a small gift. Now, they own their own businesses, have perfect credit, can have whatever they want, while still supporting a greedy family. I can't complain that life is hard cause they've been through so much more than I have and I've finally learned to appreciate it and learn from the best... They are my number 1 heros. Also, Teri Hatcher. She grew up in Sunnyvale like me and went to my high school and coached my dance team and now she made it big. I hope to be as accomplished as her.
