I'm very suspicious about compliments. I don't like it when people sugarcoat things for me. You know, I'm honestly the best judge of my own work. It really rings insincere to me when people are too complimentary. There's a lot of empty flattery in this society. You have to keep a really level head about when you're good and when you're not.

Inner Vision

Western Civilization has this mantra of “I’ll believe it when I see it.” So we need empirical proof before we believe anything. Unfortunately it really really holds us back. The old ancient civilizations, not just in the East, but around the globe. They believed to see. And it’s amazing if you ever do research on the indigenous peoples of the world, it’s how much more powerful they were from a standpoint of controlling their energy and controlling how their world went. Because they focused their energy on what they wanted and knew it was going to happen. That’s the law of attraction. They knew it. Thousands and thousands of years ago. It’s kind of interesting that modern science is proving what these people knew. So, what that tells us is two things: if you believe to see, you’re going to have a much better chance of seeing what you want.

Remember that huge Tsunami a few years ago in Indonesia? Thousands of people got killed. The interesting thing about that is that the only people who died were the modern people. All the indigenous tribes and wild animals got to higher ground. None of the natives were killed. Why? They knew it was coming before it hit. How? They are so attuned to that sixth sense that they are one with the world, the earth, the universe. That’s what inner vision is about.

It’s uncanny how these tribesmen got up to higher ground. They didn’t lose one person. They have a sixth sense that we don’t have. They can feel the depth of the water by the way their paddle sounds on the ocean even the water is hundreds of thousands feet one. They just have an intuitive notion. The truth of the matter is we have that same sense, but we’ve lost it because we don’t use it. Why don’t we listen? Because they think we should do this. They think we should do that. Or I’m supposed to because someone wants me to. So there’s lots of ways we can get battered around. But when you start making choices by practicing your sixth sense, listening from within, you can’t go wrong.

Have you ever said, “I knew I shouldn’t have done that! I knew I shouldn’t have said that!” What happened? Inner vision spoke to you and you didn’t listen.

Special Events Show

Kelley, Theresa, and Euri came to San Diego for the Special Event Show! And I showed them some good eats, including one of my faves, Extraordinary Desserts in Downtown SD, breakfast at The Mission in North Park, and cooking authentic Asian hotpot at my house.

Gotta love girl time!

WHOOOOOOOOAARRREEEYOUUUU????

Hookah anyone?

Snakes like me.

I am one of the very few of my friends who happens to like snakes. As long as they're not poisonous (or have been de-poisoned), I find them quite endearing. Here I am with my friend's
roommate's Ball Python named "Aloo", which I found actually means "vegetable" in Hindi. I don't know if my friend knows that. Anyway, Aloo is a stumpy little fellow because he's only a baby but he will grow quite insanely large and become unmaneageable one day, and that's when my friend will probably donate him to a zoo.

Notice how in the right picture, there is a book called "Parrot Problem Solver" behind my head. That is because my friend just got a baby green-winged Macaw named Beegee. Although in a way, the snake could be a "parrot problem solver".

Yeah yeah that's f*cked up.

If I had a snake I would name him "Hungry"
