I’ve always made it known to the public two very obvious facts about myself: 1. I am borderline compulsive about organization (ie. uniformity, order, & everything in its place), & 2. I am a clean/neat freak (not a germaphobe, but everything must be tidy, neat, & clean). However, here are five more facts that I rarely reveal about myself. Why? Because I am trying to be more “open” & honest. Cheers.
1. I am a compartmental eater. I eat whatever’s on my plate in a specific order: 1st: sides, 2nd: main dish (meat or seafood), 3rd: starch (rice, noodle, bread, or other). I often do not like when certain foods on my plate touch, especially if it contains sauce.
2. As a child, I once nearly fell off a roller coaster ride at Disneyland, causing the staff to shut down the ride for 30 minutes to help me with my safety belt.
3. I have had corrective surgery. Twice.
4. One of my most prized possessions is a Chinese 旗袍 (qí páo/cheongsam) traditional dress that was custom made for me by my cousin who now works at my grandfather’s tailor shop in Yokohama, Japan.
5. From early childhood until now, I like to eat plain bread, rice, & noodles. No butter, no sauce, no seasonings, no spreads, nothing.

I’m sitting in a cafe that’s got a little too much air conditioning. It’s just another typical Monday for me, but I’m trying to make the most of the day by running errands. I just stopped to grab a bite to eat & get my caffeine fix for the day.
It’s always good to slow down every once in a while & just take a break or a breather. Even taking five minutes to grab a coffee or walk outside to pick up your mail, just close your eyes, take a deep breath & let your shoulders fall. This will help you relax, if only for one fleeting moment. Doing this at least once a day I’m sure will help your spirits rise & bring you one step closer to that happy place. Enjoy!

I’m having a hard time confessing this, but I have written my first fan mail. I kind of feel as though the whole idea of writing a fan club letter to a celebrity is really cheesy & a bit juvenile, but I have recently come across a person I really feel a strong, honest, genuine connection with. So, I’ve felt compelled to write that particular person a real heartfelt letter. This the only sane, normal, proper/effective way I know how to reach out to that person without actually flying halfway across the country, tracking that person down at their filming location & stalker-fangirling him.
Right now, one part of me feels like a love-sick puppy-dog teenager who is writing to their favorite One Direction band member…like I’ve somehow jumped back to the 90s & I’m reading a copy of Teen Beat magazine with poster cut-outs of Hanson & Backstreet Boys taped all over my bedroom walls. Another part of me feels nervous, hoping that this person will actually read what I wrote, & not let this letter be thrown into the trash heap or shuffled to the bottom of a mountainous pile of love letters, never to see the light of day. I’ve got my fingers crossed in hopes that I will get a genuine reply & not some generic form letter typed out by the talent agency’s PR secretary.
Why do I suddenly feel like I’m doing something illicit, something naughty? I guess I feel like a person of my age is too old to be sending ‘flowery’ fan mail to their favorite celebrity. I feel like I’m 34 driving in a 16 mph zone…if you catch my drift.
Well, at least I didn’t doodle love hearts all over the paper & spritz my perfume on it. That would just be too creepy. Blaaaaagh! Here’s to hoping that when I reach out, that person will reach out to me in return (in a positive way, & not some creepy fangirl way). Cheers on this Friday!
