Introducing...

My niece Dahlia Emi born on Sunday October 14, 2007. Unlike my eldest sister's baby who looks nothing but Asian, my second sister's baby/ my niece looks nothing but Caucasian. I can't wait to meet her in real life. I bought two Paddington Bears in London and lugged it around Iceland for both my Niece and Nephew. I can't wait to see them both together.

Superman

To paraphrase a very wise (stoned out of his mind) Willie Nelson

Too may painkillers (projects), too much pot (school)
Trying to be something, that I'm not
Superman, Oh Superman
Tried to do more than I can...
I wasn't Superman.

After my surgery, I had two weeks off, and now I'm back in the same situation. Doctor says there's nothing wrong from all the tests. My body is now simply rebelling without a reasonable medical cause. Now at this point, I might bemoan god and scream out to the sky, "Why ME?" But quite frankly, Willie Nelson was right, I did more than I should and I'm paying for it now with my health. For years I barely slept, exercised little, ate poorly, and worked and worked and worked and worked at my ad agency, at school, and by doing freelance work. To add on, I lived the fast-paced NYC life and topped it all off with an intensive trip around the world to make up for all my working. Guess I wasn't Superman.
