  • 7 years ago, I donated my bone marrow

    Sunday, May 12, 2013 4:01AM / Standard Entry

    So I officially hit my 1 year mark living in Taipei on May 1st. Which also happens to be the same day that I donated my bone marrow. 7 years ago, on May 1st, 2006 (I was living in Chicago at the time) I went to the hospital where a doctor removed my bone marrow where it was immediately sent on an airplane and flown to Singapore. By the time my bone marrow reached Singapore it was May 3rd and a 9 year old girl received it. It was a full year later where I learned that her name was Ruby. The picture below shows Ruby on her 16th birthday earlier this year.

     photo Rubys16thBday_zpsb880e16e.jpgThough we’ve never met in person, Ruby and I email often and I do hope one day we can finally meet. Ruby, again, thanks for being a part of my life.  You’re amazing! If anyone reading this post has any questions about the bone marrow process or what it’s like to be a donor, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’m always willing to share my perspective and experience on bone marrow donation. Facebook me at www.fb.com/dawenmusic

    Recently, I’ve met Emily Sun, an Australian mother and wife who is in desperate need of stem cells (another term for bone marrow). Please consider joining the bone marrow registry today as you could potentially save a life. You can also join Emily’s facebook page. Help us raise awareness about people who need bone marrow.

    台灣,我來住了已經一年。我超開興。台北,你真的對我很好,我非常感動。我真的愛死這個地方。我想特別謝謝我的家人,我的阿姨,我的教會,我的音樂朋友,喜歡音樂。你們太歡迎我了。

    I hit my 1 year mark in Taipei. Time flies by and not at all, at the same time. I have to reflect and be thankful for all the amazing friends I’ve made so far. Taiwan, the people, the friends, the city, treat you like family and for that I feel so blessed.  To my relatives, my aunts, my church friends, my music friends, and the family at Enjoy, thank you guys. May I continue to soak up this amazing city and country.

  • Random thoughts at 6:57am

    Thursday, Apr 25, 2013 7:10AM / Standard Entry

    隨便/隨意?。。

    So it’s been a while since I’ve had insomnia, this might be my first time this year.

    Here are some random thoughts, before I become completely delirious.

    1. 1 year ago, I left Los Angeles for Hong Kong, where I spent five days before moving to Taipei, Taiwan. Don’t know if thinking about this is what’s keeping me up, probably not.

    2. Amanda Palmer is great. Truly, she embodies the spirit and creativity of good music in the 21st Century. Whenever I get sad and cynical about music, I think of her and feel better.

    3. I love T shirts.

    4. I love the color yellow.

    4.2 李安 is the shit.

    5. I miss having a library card. Who knows, maybe I’ll pick one up here in Taipei. I do live near 誠品 so that’s almost like having the same thing, except that I’d have to dish out cash and actually buy the books there, lol.

    6. Two days ago, I wondered how I could have two degrees and still feel illiterate at life? Today, I’m feeling much better. Haha, God, these random thoughts are getting emo.

    7. Chinese is really hard to learn. 上課這麼久了可是有時候我還是覺得我中文根本沒有進步。In other words, while I’ve been studying on an off for almost a year, I still feel like I can barely read.

    8. I will never download Candy Crush, it’s just not gonna happen.

    9. Haters gonna hate, and potatoes gonna potate, bwuahahahahha.

    10. Okay, it’s time to stop the random thoughts post. Woo.

  • Taiwan jam session #1 – 我跟梁文音, Echo, 陳傑瑞玩音樂!

    Sunday, Apr 21, 2013 12:55AM / Standard Entry

    免費下載mp3: http://on.fb.me/VtSw5B

    別忘記支持我的朋友!
    Jeric FB: http://www.fb.com/jericbook
    Echo FB: http://www.fb.com/echolee.fans
    梁文音 FB: http://www.fb.com/liangwenyin

    特別感謝:Sarah

    我的好朋友都知道我最喜歡的顏色是黃色。所以上禮拜文音,Echo, 和 Jeric 來我家玩音樂的時候我就馬上想到文音的轉輯裡面的 「黃色夾克」。我們唱了一半我就發現這首很自然地可以轉到「愛是什麼」。

    Anyone that knows me, knows that my favorite color is yellow. So last week, when Rachel, Echo and Jeric were hanging out at my place I immediately thought of Rachel’s song ‘Yellow Jacket‘. We were in the middle of singing it when I thought it’d be fun to mash it up with her other song ‘What Is Love‘?

    What is love, anyway? Is it a yellow jacket?

    Maybe it’s having all your friends come over to hang out, laugh, and play music. I’ve been in Taiwan for almost a year and I’m so happy to have met so many great friends. I love you guys, and I love Taiwan. I know that sounds so cornballz, but it’s true. 

    愛是什麼? 是一件黃色夾克嗎?

    也許愛是有很多朋友來你家一起玩音樂。我來台灣已經快一年了,我真的很高興有認識這麼多好新朋友。愛死你們,愛死台灣。
