A little about myself: I'm a person who gets genuine pleasure from simple yet meaningful things. I love cooking—for me, it's a way to show care and create a positive mood. I adore reading, because every book opens a new world and helps me see life more broadly. Sports have a special place in my day—it gives me energy, discipline, and inspiration to move forward.

I'm open to new connections and people who aren't afraid to be sincere. If something more develops between us, I'm all for it. I'd be happy to meet you, get to know you better, and see where our conversation can lead.

I'm looking for someone with whom I can start with a simple and sincere friendship and then see where our conversation leads—perhaps to something deeper. I want to try new things, get to know each other better, share thoughts, support each other, and feel a genuine connection between us.

I love cooking—for me, it's a way to take care of myself and create. I adore reading because books help me expand my horizons and find inspiration. Sports also play an important role in my life: they give me energy and help me maintain balance.

I want to meet someone with whom I can easily talk about everything, be myself, and open up gradually, without rushing or pressure. If you, too, are looking for genuine communication and are ready to try something new, I'd be happy to meet you and get to know you better.

---the randomness of life

---that everything is temporary 

and unfairness is part of life.

But don't let that define who you are, what you believe in and what you stand for. Not everything is what it seems just because everyone believes it. Authenticity isn't about being the person others say you are but by you simply being you. :)

I've been in this site for almost 10 years. Have not found my person yet but found lots of scammers here and this is how I identify them:

Profile:

• Relatively new account: Usually scammers won't use an account that is more than 3 months old
• 3 pictures or less: Since they might use someone's picture on internet that hard to reverse search so usually they only put 3 pictures
• No friends
• Either empty profile or the profile has repeated word honesty, loyalty, trustworthy (just get a pet if you're looking for this)

If you are scammers and read this please put more efforts!

A myth that alcohol induced facial redness is considered a sign of good blood circulation. I'm baffled that people comment on this and believe it to be true when they see me red faced after a few drinks. In fact, it is the opposite of a positive compliment. 

It is actually a genetic inability to metobolize the alcohol, causing a build up of toxics in the body and resulting in the flush. If you experience symptoms like nausea, headache, fast heartbeat, it may indicate a deficency in the enzymns that break down the alcohol to less toxic compounds. Frequent alcohol consumption in this state can increase the risk of certain cancers. Unfortunately, a larger percentage to Asian have this genetic trait. Let's not mistake this face flush as a sign to drink more! Drink in moderation.

So, what's next? 

I was in an hour pilates class, and the instructor was making us suffer, with just using body weight and movements to test the strength in our thighs. You can imagine the lunges, curtsy lunge, lateral lunge and more. I so wanted the session to end, as she was demonstrating infront of me, eyed and commented on my movements. She ended with saying "This is much better!" - what an encouragement! haha. Mind you the men in the class were not having a good time either lol. They are the well built guys, look fit, and they were having trouble as well. Pilates is not for the weak! I am determined to do better, I am getting my pilates resistance bands.

I usually train my arms and core but neglected my legs. I would dread doing lunges. It is this bad. Going to the gym is not about looking good, it is about preparing yourself to be strong and preserve muscles. I have friends who do not excercise, and I always encourage them to excerise for their health sake. They have to incorporate it into their lifestyle, even if they are within the healthy BMI range. If gym is not an option or time is limited, then do body weight at home for a start - there is no excuse!

Try to do these test first to see if you have not lost your mobility - the sit-stand test to assess your leg strength.

"the sit-stand test to assess your leg strength. Sit in a chair with your knees bent at 90 degrees and hands crossed at your chest. Stand up without any assistance and sit down five times as quickly as possible. If you can’t complete that within 10 seconds, it indicates low muscle strength and sarcopenia"

Samuel Morse was away from his wife, who was across the US, while he pursued his passion for painting. They were a few days' trip away from each other, and there was no other way to communicate except by writing and sending letters across the country, which took a long time to reach their destination.

His wife was expecting their child, and while he wrote his last letter to her, she had already passed away due to a heart attack after recovering from childbirth. By the time his family informed him of the news and he returned, she had already been buried. This tragedy spurred him to invent the Morse code, which enabled messages to be sent across the telegraph.

History tells us stories and reminds us to cherish the life we have today.

Hope to bump into you on the streets some day...

If you see me, do say hi. I will do so too. I won't be shy.

我知道，我们的感情已经走到尽头。

曾经那么多的争吵与摩擦，留下过遗憾，也留下过爱。

我没有好好珍惜妳曾经的用心，也没能在妳需要安稳的时候，给妳最完整的依靠。

今天的我，能做的很少。

我没有丰厚的物质，也不能再陪在妳身边。

我能给妳的，只是一份安静的守护：

在妳需要时，我愿意伸手；在妳不需要时，我会默默祝福。

我希望妳未来能遇到一个真正懂妳、能给妳安稳与依靠的人。

而我，会好好生活，把自己过好。

也许有一天，我会遇到属于我的平静和温柔。

谢谢妳曾走进我的生命。

无论缘分到哪里，妳在我心里都留下过独特的位置。

我放手，不是因为不爱，而是因为学会了成全。

What ICE is doing is HORRIBLE, illegal, and unconstitutional. 

Trump, and this administration do not follow most common laws. They are total dictators/criminals in control of our government.

As an native New Yorker... I could not be more digusted.

It has been a very long time since I blogged, and that is ok, because I am not a very good blogger and people don't really read what I wrote. 

So recently, I have rescued a cat, a stray that came to me with awfully destroyed skin and face that needed some true intervention.  He came to me when I was feeding my own animals - proud mama of 3 dogs and 4 cats - meowing for attention and food.  While I unabashedly find myself rather attractive even in my old age, my appeal generally extends to humans, so having a male cat coveting for my attention is truely unusual.  

Turn out this painfully distorted and somewhat scary looking cat had something called scabies, which, essentially is a form of mange and it affected all of his face and neck.  The rest of his body had all forms of scars and rashes, in short, he truly was quite ugly.  Nonetheless, he really liked me and he was very hungry, so I started feeding him for whenever he came to me at night. 

Peculiarly, my cats adored him, my two gingers won't stop playing with his tail while my calico and siamese even shared food with him.  My cats DO NOT like anyone, they are stuck up little monsters that I love with all my heart but they are snobbish. Yet.... they liked this ugly diseased contagious young man.  Odd. 

K (his name I gave him) is extremely clingy towards me too, love rubbing his body and face against my leg, being so comfortable at home, I tend to wear shorts and oh boy, have you ever had scab rubbed against you? I can assure you that it is neither rainbow nor cotton, it felt like a series of wood mixed with cement rubbing against your bare skin. Exagerration? maybe. Sensitive skin, surely!  I cringed... 

After discussing with my wonderful vet about a treatment plan, I went into action into sending K to the vet and also boarding him for at least 2 weeks as his skin condition was terribly contagious to my curious cats.  I also needed to buy new beds, new cage, new food bowl, new litter box etc dedicated to him.

After boarding K, I would visit him every 2 - 3 days and oddly again, he always recognised me - one would think that he only had eyes for the vet now.   Vet mentioned that K would be adoptable once he is fully healed as he is actually a rather handsome bloke who is quite bald at the moment due to shaving and needing  access to his rashes.  I, however, thought I will just keep this lil bugger since he came to me and I obviously needed the validation. 

Today he is coming home! Finally!    I told my friend about his story, and there is always these coos and ahhs and euus, mostly praised me on my kindness.  

Is it really kindness though?  I feel like I just did what everyone would do.

The truth is, I have the means to do it, the vet, the new stuffs, the toys, the boarding, I am glad I could actually afford it.  It isn't cheap, but it is within my means.  Can everyone do it? Probably not. Does everyone want to do it, I truely believe, in my naive idealism, a resounding yes.   

A couple of days ago, I saw a viral video of a Malaysian lady driving around in her BMW with her trunk filled with kibbles and canned food to feed over 80+ stray dogs around the area daily. She also trapped, neutered and released these dogs whenever she could.  These aren't cheap, she does well enough for herself to drive around in a snazzy car, and yes, she is very kind and a total role model (cute too) but she could also afford it.  

So I guess my point is, I truely believe everyone is innately kind, but the saying that "it costs nothing to be kind" is bullshit.  Acting kind maybe is free, but being truely kind requires effort, time and money and in our mad mad world now, those require resources that not everyone has.  

So perhaps next time if you think someone unkind, perhaps think about what they don't have to be kind.  Maybe the person simply cannot afford $100 medication to give to his mother, or she has to work 3 jobs a day and didn't have time to look after the stray dog in her corner, or they simply do not have the time to handle the demands that you asked of them.

Everyone has their stories and altriusm is not as easy as one might think.  

However, if you do have the resources and the time, ffs, go help someone or something.

Really good conversations seem so difficult these days. Maybe it’s necessary to define what good conversations are in the first place? In the beginning of friendships or even the beginnings of a relationship, we all want to put our best foot forward or show our best face. We say things that are neutral or agreeable (for the sake of looking agreeable or positive). Talking about life, love, loss, pain, suffering, joy seem to be in short supply because it requires authenticity. Most people float on the surface but yet yearn to connect deeply and it is as if all the interesting things about everything have already been said by someone else.

I am truly interested to know one’s own words, thoughts, comments and why you think what you do. It’s not about right or wrong, pushing the envelop, persuasion or forcing a point but having a genuine conversation and sharing thoughts.

So, I guess a good conversation (to me as asked by some folks) is about being able to have an exchange with someone without pretension. It is about being authentic, honest and having the courage to be onself and not someone you think you should be. It seems no matter what screen you look at, a distortion will always exist. But, the point is, will you look through it and not just at it? 

Hello from the United States of Idiocy. Though I have often been embarrassed for my country, This may well be the MOST embarrassed in a long while, or... ever. 

The United States are being bullied/ruled by an alogarch class, promoted by Mr. Dump. They are anti-art, anti-empathy, anti-human, pro-death, anti-prevention, anti-health-care, VERY anti-science, anti-logic... and vehemently anti-natural environment.

The tRump administration is gutting all safeguards for our country's health/envrionment/and social justice prgrams, in addition to those, globally.

10s, if not 100s of thousands of families will starve and suffer from lack of medical care, globally, from DOGE/tRump's cuts.

If any of you supports this administration, please remove youselves from my connections. You are supporters of mass murder in the most evil of ways, IMO.

I've read this somewhere, just want to share it as I very much agree to it.

==QUOTE==
Date someone who is interested in you.

I dont mean someone who thinks you are cute or funny or smart.

I meant someone who wants to know every insignificant detail about you.
Someone who listens intently when you speak and remembers the little things you forget you have said. Someone who wants to understand your silence as much as your words.

Someone who traces your scars like constellations and sees the poetry in your chaos. Someone who loves not just the idea of you but the depth of who you truly are.

Love Psychology

1. The person who notices your little things, loves you.

2. The person who always helps you, has feelings of love for you.

3. The person who remembers small details about you, truly values you.

4. When someone makes time for you despite being busy, they genuinely care for you.

5. When they protect you in front of others but correct you in private, they respect you.

6. The one who listens to your nonsense yet never gets bored, truly loves you.

7. If someone notices your silence and asks what's wrong, they truly care.

8. The person who argues with you but never leaves, truly loves you.
