Cool old lady

We were walking back from the Pastry Photoshoot and saw this lady on the way back to the office. I broke my neck to look at her rockin those shades so I asked if I could take a pic. You could tell she had a lot of positive energy.

She told us that she originally had those glasses designed/customized for her a long time ago and everyone copied her idea. If that's a true story, its pretty cool. lol

Toilets in china

Since I don't feel like posting something about China over and over again, I'm just going to do them randomly, as I think its interesting. I hate when content gets boring... so here ya go. This was the toilet in the Putian office we worked in. I continued to see this in the factories we visited too. It reminded me of a toilet i used at my grandma's house in the Philippines. Good thing we had regular toilets in the hotels... idk if i would have been able to deal with that lol

Check out my lil cousin :)

Anthony Spencer... What can I say? I'm def proud of this boy. I never met anyone who takes athletic direction so well. He's a natural born athlete. Every since he was little, he would see me running track, trying to stay in shape, and would ask me what he could do to get stronger and faster. He listens so well and seems absolutely fearless.

I know he was doing his thing in Jers, then moved to San Antonio and made a name for himself. Now, he's in ATL breaking records at his new high school. I talked to him today to ask for an update on how his season ended and this is what he wrote:

"well, i wus 2 inches from goin to states for the triple, i jumped 42'10 season best took 3rd at region in triple 8th in long at region 1st at county in triple 4th in long at county and i got coaches award of best male field athlete and im 5th in the region at triple and 28th in the state for triple long idk lol havent looked"

Yessir.. that's what I like to hear. Reminds me of myself haha. ANNNND.... can you believe he just learned how to triple jump???? I'm proud of you kid :) . One more year of high school ... I'm anxious to know what school you're gonna rep next!

P.S. He's an honor student too :)

I read this while I was in China and thought it was so beautiful. So many people let their worries get to them and it continues to affect them the next day. I'm very guilty of this too but I can say I'm getting better at it. A lot of things just don't matter and when you realized what your most important goal is, all of the other worldly things just don't matter anymore.

While I was away, I had a lot of time to myself to think about what my ultimate goal is. I realized I cannot obtain it in this world and life is just a bridge to where I really want to be. I won't get too deep now. I learned that when you dive in, its easier to drown. Little by little, you will understand who I really am and what my real goals are. In the mean time, I will try to stay balanced on my bridge. InshAllah

I don't agree with the message, but nice work

I really don't agree with this at all but whoever did the Photoshopping did a very good job. It's seamless.
