She did WHAT?!?!

Congratulations Myle and Frank!

Wooohooo!!!! Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Frank and Myle Gale! These two have the most beautiful love story.Please allow me to share their beautiful love story:

Myle and Frank dated for ten years! They met while Myle was in college. They were eachother's first and only love. But like all true love stories there were obstacles (I like to call them "fertalizers." ...They stink at the time, but they nourish the relationship and make it grow, just like fertalizer).

Myle's parents did not "approve" or "accept" Frank since he was not the nice Vietnamese boy that they had hoped their daughter would marry. But Myle stood by his side.

Frank desperately wanted children some day; Myle did not want children. Frank said, "Myle, I might be missing out on something great not having children, but I KNOW I would be missing out on something great if I lost you." Frank stood by her side.

Last year, Myle and Frank went to Vietnam on a trip. Myle got deathly ill. She was in the hospital for weeks, and the doctors said she might not live. Frank never left her side. He slept on cold hospital floors, he bathed her, he talked to her, he held her. His love for her warmed hearts...even the hearts of Myle's parents! They accepted him as their own son. Myle's heart too was warmed. Myle wanted to have children with Frank.

Talk about the power of love and blessings in disguise!

So here is to you, My Friends! Here's to unconditional love and to never leaving eachothers' sides!

Happy Flirty Thirty To Me!!!!

Hey...The thirties are the new twenties...Haven't you heard?

With my childhood, adolesence, and twenties behind me, I am actually excited about my thirties. I look forward to seeing what new adventures are in store for me, what new curve balls life will throw at me, and can't wait to experience the sensations that will bring a smile to my face and warm my heart. Bring it on, World!!! I am so ready!!!

I decided to really ring in this new year of mine with the people that I care about the most...My family and friends. I threw myself a birthday party (of course with the help of loved ones. Special thanks to Ahn, Allura, Charles, Michelle and Myle). I had such a wonderful time. And again, I am touched and feel tremendously blessed to have a loving and supportive family, and wonderful, caring and fun friends in my life.

I love you all so much!!! Thank you for making my "flirty thirty" so memorable and fun. Here's to 30+ years to come!

It's a bird, it's a plane....

Nope, it's just me in the sky! In August, I had the wonderful experience of flying throuph the skies of Los Angeles County with LA's Finest, LAPD. The LAPD Air Support Division was gracious enough to let me tag along for a ride-a-long. I had so much. It was an eye-opening experience. I was amazed at how much you could see from the sky. It offered a perspective that ground-level just can't. =p





Here I am still "ground-level."


Now, here I am ready to be hoisted up!

And we're off! View of downtown from the sky.

Thank you Officers for the amazing experience. Be safe out and up there! Roger that! Over and Out. =)

Early mornings, long nights, short weekends. Getting yelled at, getting laughed at and being watched. Tears. Fatigue. Stress.

But you know what??? It is/was all worth it because I love my job and I believe in what I do.

I thank God for getting me this far and being with me every step of the way. I pray that God will continue to be with me in this journey. I pray that God will give me the wisdom to do justice and to always do the right thing. I thank God so much for blessing me with so many wonderful friends, teachers, mentors, and my family who supported me, encouraged me and helped me all along. Each of you will be in my heart and I will be forever and ever grateful!

Farewell, Glendale

Working at the Glendale Courthouse was great! One piece of advice: Do NOT commit crimes in Glendale or Burbank. You WILL get caught. The Glendale Police Department and Burbank Police Department are phenomenal. They will cach you! :p

I will miss Glendale. Everyone was so supportive and great to work with. It was a pleasure and honor working with you all.
