Day 9

Day 9- A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most ...Veronika!

I am Thankful to the Lord for bringing her into my life! God has blessed us both for a great friendship which lead us to be Sisters in Christ! There's so much to say abt her that I can't explain in words!! I've learn so much about God, life, and everything through her! If I never had met her 5 years ago I wouldn't have had known who God is... it's just amazing how God had lead me to her to know what to do with my life through tough and good times. Veronika is fulfilling of love and advices that help me get through. When I am having hard time in school, relationships, or need advices on she would be right there be all ready to have something to say to cheer me up. Every time if am down and do not show it from outside, and she would notice right away, same time it would make it will go away because I know she always have a way to release it. She would remind me trust God and God knows what I need and am going through, then she tend to talk it out with me, it goes same for her when she is having a bad day would try my best to cheer her up! God's just good by providing a wonderful person like Veronika to get me through thin and thick moments! Amen!

Day 8

Day 08 - A picture that makes you laugh...

Mandie under the Bus at a museum in Washington Dc. This picture just tell it all! I know it might sound crazy and not good picture in the REAL picture. But just PREFECT how she lays and "suppose to be hit by the bus" show it all. Her body expression does made me laugh. Of course there's more to it but its too long to tell it all on here. We just had SO much fun there! One hint I had a picture of myself kissing a stature, it actually looks like i was making out! Oh my Goodness, other one is my other friends act like were in earthquake in a banned subway, stuff like that! FUN FUN!
What do you think?!

Day 7

A picture of your most treasured item...

My blankie from home. I know it sound like a little kid thing but I grew up on a blanket that I must bring with me everywhere when I am not going to sleep in my own bed at my parent's. First blankie I was very clingy with was green with strawberry shortcake character on it. It has silk and very comfortable to sleep with, believe it or not its not EVEN ripped or anything! Later, got older still sleep with any blankie I fell in love with. Right now I still have this hot pink blankie on my bed (5 years so far), and of course it always travels with me when I fly to places. It just treasure to me because I still feel close to home (my parents/Nebraska) in my heart and safe whenever I am hundreds and thousands of miles away. Admit it, it does help me go to sleep sometime when i have it surround my head just like I was little girl! Now I wonder when I am married would I have a blankie with us? Probably not because "he" would be my blankie... hehe!

God's just good to find a way to help us stay calm and comfortable with certain items that we tresure in our life! It's amazing <><

Day 6

A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day
One of my interpreters, Julia Roberts or Dr. Dreisbach

Interpreters: I’ve always wondered how it felt to be in their spot because I pretty much spent half of my life with interpreters. Also curious how it felt to be in their shoe interpreting many different kinds of topics and events. One assign I wouldn’t mind interpreting at an Deaf Olympics event- English to NGT (Netherlands) or other way around…Sound FUN!

Julia Roberts: She’s one of my favorite actress. I would love to trade places with her since she’s a Oscar and Golden Globe award winner, even married and mother to twins children. I wonders how she manages her life behind the cameras, paparazzi, and love life. I actually want her smile!!!!!! Maybe that’s the main reason, just kidding!

Dr. Dreisbach: One of my favorite/top doctor I’ve ever had. I would love to trade with her and see how it feel to be like a Doctor, how she deal by going through all medical school, residency/fellowship, and work at Hospitals/clinics with many different patients with various health issues. Dr. Dreisbach is a amazing, smart, solicitous about my health, and always kindhearted around me. I would just love to trade place with her one day and see how it ACTUALLY felt to be one of those people in White Coats.

Day 5

A picture of your favorite memory

Playing with my cousin Alex when we were young till we off on our own. We were very close growing up and still pick on each other when we see each other at family gatherings. I remember we would always play different sports, video games, collecting sport cards, dressing up, running around at grandma's house, wrestling with each other, and much more! I even remember we would play tackle football in the creek, sand, and snow. Also i would try to copy what he does or whatever he has i would say I must have it because Alex has it too! haha. There's million more memory with him that I miss.

He was the one who introduced me to sports and would want to do the exactly same thing as him. I thank him for that because I developed about myself from those sports and relationships with different people. It just amazing how much Alex had influenced me at young age. In addition, Chris oldest brother (my cousin) he would be part of this but I was more clingy to Alex back then than with Chris. But both was awesome cousins that i couldn't image having!! :-) Thank you Alex Rohde!!! (Alex, myself, and Chris dress up for a parade in Wausa, Ne)

(Alex and I at Chris's wedding, 2008- we both caught the groom and bride- so we have to get married next in the family! Pretty much will happen since Alex is next, then myself!)

Day 4

A picture of your night:

Pretty much going to my night classes, watching my interpreter's hands for 3-4 hours straight for my 4 night classes from 5:30 to 8:30-45. After class I tend chat a little bit with my lovely terps then go home and rest.

Weekends could find me doing homework, working night shift, watching tv/movies, chatting with family and friends, or sleeping. That's my night! :-)

Day 3

A picture of the cast from your favorite show:

Baywatch: I grew up on Baywatch, not just because of Pamela Anderson, don't give a thing about her body! Just love the storyline of how lifeguard work out in the ocean and handle the beaches. My favorite character on that show were David Hasselhoff (Lt. Mitch Buchannon) and Jeremy Jackson (son of Mitch-Hobie), if I had to choose women character it would be Alexandra Paul (Lt. Stephanie Holden).

Grey Anatomy:...ahh just got addicted to this show recently April, maybe because am fascinated to medical world and how things are like in Hospital setting. However, I know Grey's is just a show, not show much of REALITY of what is like in the hospital setting today. I have been reading about medical and gone there enough to know and notice what is not true. This show has great cast, I do not have any favorites but I do miss Dr. Burke being on the show, Liz, and George. Am glad rest are still on, esp for Dr. Owens and Arizona are my least favorite. Just happy it's still running and cannot wait for coming up shows!

Off the Map: This show is absolutely interesting, of course since I am fascinated with medical, this show shows different perspective on what to use when they are out in the jungle by using Eastern Medicine (I.e Herbs, leaves, etc) and they also do use some regular medical equipments that normal hospital would use. This show's cast is little weak in my option, love the storyline by having out in the jungle and its all medical related that makes me happy!!

Mystery Diagnosis: Again another awesome medical show, just interesting they use base true stories about how the person developed their medical diagnosis and use actor to role play the patients' life while the real person and family/friends will explain what happened and how they feel through out the patients' struggles of figuring out what wrong with them. Even the doctors themselves will show up on a interview scene explaining how and what they did through all examination , symptoms, prognosis, and diagnosis of the patient.

I have several more that can list but not the top favorite: Little people in Big world, Full House, Home improvement, I love Lucy, Friends, and Pacific Blue.

Day 2

A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest:

This is tough one because I feel close to many people for long time, First of all it would be my family and Angie.

My family of course knew me from 0 to 18 year old till when I went off to College. We ofc stay in touch throughout my college life and still do now they still know me too well (in some ways) haha. I am SO grateful to the Lord for a wonderful parents and little sister who provide me a wonderful happy life. They were huge support on my Deafness, am amazed about that. There are many things I can say about this family, the picture can just explain it all! ☺

(I love this picture just show we not prefect, we help each other through tough times!)

This picture just remind me that my family always will be with me on every path
I am on, and knowing what is best for me!

Angie, knew her since first grade, she was my interpreter that time. From there she was my role model and always stayed in touch with her when she moved away end of second grade (will never forget that moment she broke the news to me- I remember I ran into my room bawling n said ANGIE HATES ME!) Ever since, we been close we would always email each other, meet up for the stay, or I would go to her place and stay for few days just to catch up since she knows me so well that she knows what to say if I need advices! Also one thing I love about us is that we would be immature, act like kids for once and tease each other and give each other hard time till we laugh to death! I notice I am happy person on earth and get all my stress off myself around her. I just cannot image my life with her.

This is of us way back in first grade, that how we met!
We do wild things together like this!Best day for both of us, she got married! I was blessed to be able to fly in two days before her big day! Was able to help with her with the wedding, just my best moment with her! <3

I am grateful to the lord for providing me such wonderful people through out my life that I am very THANKFUL for, and what they have done for me! <><
