The #missasianamerica / #missasianglobal #pageant takes place this Saturday 8.10.19. I feel so grateful and blessed to be invited back as a judge after 10 years since I was crowned. This is full circle! Today was the judges interview portion in which we get to know each contestant behind the scenes 1:1 and ask them questions. I so remember being in this hot seat on the other side lol. I am also thoroughly impressed at how this pageant has evolved, into in organization that not only represents beauty, but brains and compassion as well. I’ve been a part of many pageants and there’s none like Miss Asian America/Miss Asian Global. These gals are doctors, engineers, scientist, entrepreneurs from all over the world! I met a #Vietnamese contestant today who was a fashion marketer turned video game designer from Vietnam 😱 Grateful to be a part of this legacy, 34 years in the making! Thanks @vincentyma @kongfrancis @rosechungsf for your dedication in empowering #AsianAmericanWomen. A bit disappointed there are no #lao contestants this year, or last, or the year before. Hey Lao American gals, this is an epic experience, don’t miss out! #beautyqueenswithbrains #girlpower 👊🏼
It’s ok to not know the future and take the risk. Speculation of tomorrow, calculated or not, is merely a fantasy. All you really have is this moment right now, stay present my dear. #powerofnow
Our real lives may not be as beautiful as the majesty of God’s creation. But isn’t that why we stand, sit and stare in awe of nature? Grateful for a day in #Yosemite • • • #glory #mothernaturerocks #yosemitenationalpark #naturalbeauty #escape #adventures
3+7=10. I am 10 cat years 🙈 thank you so much for every birthday wish this weekend from Laos to California. Your love is felt and my heart is filled with utmost gratitude 🙏🏼 All glory to the Father for every breath and moment in my story 🙏🏼☝🏼🥰🙌🏼 God is so good. He is faithful and He has redeemed my life and blessed my family. Got to spend the weekend in San Diego with my closets friends & family in a city my heart feels most at home. Saturday morning started with an awesome surf sesh, shark tacos from my favorite fish shop in Pacific Beach, joined my parents in LA for a shopping adventure in which we picked out Dad’s retirement gift to himself lol. Ended the epic day with dinner at my favorite restaurant with one of my favorite Gals, and a surprise dessert visit from a bro I love teasing. (... and how cool I got to surf next to Skip Fry in the water yesterday, a shaper and surfer legend in PB 😱) My real bday is today and we are celebrating a Laotian tradition called “Som Maa” which typically takes place during Lao New Year. We ask our elders, grandparents and parents for forgiveness for all our past offenses. A time of forgiveness and blessings. Grateful for my beautiful culture. I don’t need much in life, no fancy things, though it’s ok to occasionally indulge 🤪All I desire is unconditional love and through Christ I received that gift... then the struggle to give the same love away 😬 * * * * #april28 #birthday #love #family #friends #sandiego #surflife #blessed #hope #faith #love
