Thank You for Making Me a Fighter!

How does it feel to be rejected? Well, I say rejections are essential part of our lives that make us rethink, reevaluate, recharge our batteries but in the end make us much stronger and better as people.

I recently came across a book on Amazon.com after reading its review on USA Today. (I know I know... you would say that USA Today is meant to be written for elementary level readers, but I have to say that they do have excellent book reviews)

The book is called "Other People's Rejection Letters: Relationship Enders, Career Killers, and 150 Letters You'll Be Glad You Didn't Receive"

It shows some of the worst and best rejection letters people have received that include some of the most successful people. It's definitely next on my reading list.

I've been learning one of the greatest life lessons so far this year, and what I realized is that I am a much stronger person than I thought I was. Learning from my mistakes and getting even more motivated and not discouraged from rejections is definitely shaping me to be a better professional and a person.

I want to dedicate this particular blog to my friends out there who are struggling with either their career or personal life. Remember that getting rejected from a job or a person is not the end of the world and that it doesn't lower your value but rather, it's their loss. Hold on to your inner strength and remember to never lose your self-confidence.

Hey Mr. Rejection - Thank you for making me a fighter! I will keep moving forward and you can't stop me, EVER!

L.O.V.E.

Anime Nerd!

Hi everyone,

Been awhile since I last posted something. I have been quite busy taking care of some business and spending quality time with my close friends.

I wanted to share my newly found love/passion of Japanese anime with you! Coincidentally, there was a major Anime Expo happening at the LA Convention Center this past weekend, and I can't wait to attend next year's dressed up as one of my favorite anime characters.

In a week, I've watched three complete anime tv series. My favorite one is The Rose of Versailles. I grew up watching this anime, and it is by far one of the most successful anime tv series ever and very well done! It is set around the French Revolution era and by mixing real characters with fictional characters, it shows human conflicts and how the two fictional main characters symbolized the eventual fall of the French Monarchy, specifically Marie Antoinette. I've always been fascinated with Marie Antoinette, ever since I was a little kid. I feel she is definitely one of the most misunderstood characters in history and this anime does an excellent job of showing that.

I highly recommend this 40-episode anime. It will definitely keep you at the edge of your seat!

Next two anime series I watched are Emma: Victoria Romance and Fruits Basket. I should say that Emma was calm and rather slow while Fruits Basket was what you expect a traditional anime to look like. Nonetheless, I enjoyed them both equally.

I am exploring more anime shows to watch, and I am open to your suggestions!

I am also happy and proud to say I've officially become an anime nerd. :)
