Yep!
Wanted to do this for my 30th, but I’m too impatient… ( giggle )
When my heart is set on something, it’s hard to reason with it…
Yes, I’m a rebel! But a rebel with a cause…
Live simply, travel lightly, love passionately & don't forget to breathe

The Pursuit of Happiness
Letter from The President of Unites States – Barack Obama.
It has been a 9 year journey for me.
In the Summer of 2003 I arrived in LAX as a 19 year-old girl, without a clue of what to do next.
I sat alone on the bench right outside the airport, trying to answer the question that I have not yet asked myself prior to that night…
What now? …

This is it…
Please send positive vibes my way tomorrow at 12 pm …
It is the most important journey of my life thus far…
Arrived in US by myself at 19 in 2003…
Have been a permanent resident of USA since 2006…
It has been a 9 year journey since the day I stepped out of my plane in LAX…
It hasn’t been an easy walk…
I’ve stumbled and fell, I’ve made mistakes and learned…
I’ve grown.
Tomorrow, May 16th 2012 is my citizenship interview …
I’m both, nervous and exited…
This is it…
May 19th 2012 Update :

Sandstone Peak ~ The Highest Point In The Santa Monica Mountains
This was an amazing hike!
I highly recommend it to everyone who lives and visits Los Angeles.
It’s a true wilderness with stunning views and crystal clear air.
I really hope to go there right after it rains someday soon..
Will climb the “Balance Rock” and “Inspiration Point” on my next visit.

Los Liones Trail
2 / 5 / 2012
I thought this view was much more captivating than a super bowl match surrounded by red plastic cups of beer … but then again,
I don’t have a television or plastic cups, so this decision was a pretty easy one to make…

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA
” The City ”
I love this City! ~ Wind, Rides, Chocolate, Champagne, Fireworks, Walking Hills in Heels..
- Had brunch and dinner at the Oldest Restaurant in California ; Tadich Grill and met a true Zen Master – the most amazing waiter in the world – Mr. Barry. I have never seen anything like it! I would come in here just to watch Him! He has spoiled me and ruined it for all other waiters.
- Spend New Years at the Carnelian Room (52nd floor) , overlooking the whole city. It closed for good that night after being open for 40 years.
- Ice skated in downtown
- Went on a bike ride to Berkeley
- Danced in the middle of the street in the drum circle
- Beautiful train ride back to LA
2009 – 2010
