Welcome 2007

I haven’t had a chance to blog in a while. I’ve had several deaths to deal with recently. One of a close friend and another is a member of the family who was battling cancer. It has been a tough holiday.

Death is inevitable, but I can’t imagine how I’m going to deal with it when it happens to my parents. They are very healthy, so I don’t expect anything to happen to them, but you never know when it’s their time. It could happen to anyone, like my friend. He went in for a triple bypass and never made it out of the hospital alive.

There are some things that have been on my mind that I want to write about, so keep checking back for an update. Over the holidays, I had a chance to watch a special about China. It was a story about how China's boom in manufacturing and the way they dispose of the chemicals that affects their rivers and agriculture. Some of the other topics I would like to explore are about the vietnamese culture: the acceptance of the "second wife", handling of different class - marriage between families with money and families without money, and last but not least, my observation of the Vietnamese's obsession with their look, the nose and eyes and all the plastic surgeries that Vietnamese women in America are having.

OK. I hope that's enough tease to bring you back. I promise to write some of these blogs within the next few days. So check back again soon.
