CRAP

CRAP. The more I stare at myself, the more I see the evidence of OLD AGE. OMG. As vain as I am, I never thought I'd come to this point. Back then, 3 years ago, as Bren, my old boss was telling me how she feels old and how she started seeing wrinkles, I was totally oblivious to how she was feeling. All I thought was she's just being dramatic. But now, I have noticed the area around my eye to be drier and darker. CRAP. As I do a fake smile, I see slight wrinkles under my eye! Immediately, I dab on all the eye cream I own and keep fake smiling until I see them disappear. Another sign of old age is that your cheeks begin to hollow in and the area under your eyes...which is about your cheek bones also hollow in. That is NO BUENO. No wonder my plastic surgeon uncle said " you need to stay chubby as long as you can stand it so that when you get old, your face will not cave in like all the skinny girls that appear much older than they actually are. Eventually, that caved in hollow look will all turn into dry wrinkly skin. " Not only will you be hollow, your bone will stick out so much you'll look like a cat + dried up prune with no soul or life in you. CRAP. Now now, I'm not going to go eat a bucket of fried chicken to plumpen my face, but I am going to look do a lot of collagen masks so that it retains more water and moisture which results in plumpness and no wrinkles. Next, I raise my head up to examine my neck. They say, makeup can help you shave some age off your face, but if your neck and hands are exposed, and they are in bad shape, you immediately age 20 years. CRAP. I see lines on my neck! So again, I slathered on lotion immediately. And of course I do it to my hands. OMG!!!!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING. When I go back to Taiwan to visit my plastic surgeon uncle John, I'm going to make him reverse time on me. CRAP.

*note that by the word CRAP, I am really saying the F word. CRAP.

Vail, Denver

This year also marks my 5th time snowboarding. This year is also the first time I have been able to enjoy snowboarding because I finally get toe-side. I have to say, the snow conditions in the west are way better than the East. It consists of a good amount of powder in the west and that gives you courage to do a lot of things because if you fall, it won't hurt as much. I wish I was a little kid because kids don't understand the concept of fear. They go all out. There was a 4 year old girl jumping off a ledge. OMG. I don't think I can ever do that. I'll be grateful if I can go down blues without falling much. I can't wait to be awesome at it and travel around the world just to snowboard. I think I can say I love it.
Our last day of snowboarding.
Mori and Kevin showing off in unison
I tried not to smile while wearing the goggles b/c my cheek fat would've exploded. Mori doesn't have that problem.
Pepe's Face. Half Ice. Know as the toughest part to get down, so I didn't go this way.
Pretty!

My favorite model at the moment. Liu Wen

Hope

Align with me, stars
to swim upstream with me
Travel to clear waters
to let me breathe down under
Cast sunlight on
the crisp air we feel
to forever vanish
the dark clouds so near
Walk with me, stars
Shine as bright as can be
And I will do best
if you'll align with me please.

This is one of my all time favorites. I think this collection was what made me fall in love with them.
