    My ambition ultimate goal is to be able to set up a school for the underpriviledged little children,especially those sold in slavery to prostitution rings and brothels. In this utopian and idealistic school,every child has a heartful breakfast,lunch,tea and dinner. They are cared for in an unbiased system where only the best teachers will take care of them. The best teachers will be here because they will not be acadaemically judged as the best but people with twin visions of growth and compassion.

    Can I do these things by simply being a volunteer?

    No. I've been a volunteer,I know how a bureacracy works. In a large organization,things and approval become difficult when too much paperwork and too many proposals are in the process. I need unsightly amounts of money to fuel this.Can donations work?In a situation where most people think they are such noble philantrophic people,only a small percentage of money can actually go into charity organizations. The rest go to the different mediums. In a utopian world Lydia would like to personally fulfill all these things with her own eyes. So she uses her own money. To do this,in my youth,which is now,I need to work not just very hard but insanely. I also need to convince myself and others that I'm worth their belief. In my perfect world,when I attain the recognition able to do this,I will not fear being at the mercy of bloodsucking moguhls or evil advertising.

    Am I trying to gain fame for myself but use this as a sneaky way of winning people?

    Well,I must say that I adore attention just like u,him,her,or anyone else. But when I was abused hatred made me detest and fear the world. In order for me to survive I faced everything with trepidation and a false wall of defense. Hence as a human being when I finally let my guard down,I got brutally stabbed. Have you seen enough movies? How would you be if one day your best friend tried to harm your life? I think being betrayed and sold out was the best thing that happened to me because I grew up 80 years older. Now I know after being dejected and living in fear,in sleeplessness the last few years,because I'm so afraid of her,that the only thing that lives in my mind is to fulfil my goals. Instead of hatred where it began,now Im focused on the positive aspects of life and that is returning to the community,that is to work hard in making another person's life better. Because I would not want to sit in a dinghy room dismayed and fill myself with drugs,dope to make myself in a denial since life was unfair. No one said it was meant to be fair. So,how about helping some other person,young person who faced the potential of not going thru the same bloodstains? In my little school,there will not be that many kids at first because I will select a few to really bring them up. Also,it is easier to watch over them that way and truly HELP not just aid. It's not a prison,just a school. I met my mentor who brought the light out of me,it is never easy to discover what you have. To meet people who believe in you and positively impart that spirit to you,you will be blessing others in your life eventually.

    Why am I always talking about feminism,abuse,betrayal,death,insomnia,fear?

    Am I?Damn it. Sorry. Actually I'm not all that,if you read my blogs carefully,I'm a crazy foo. I can really get on your nerves if I'm too cheesy and corny all at once. Also,I pretend to be intellectual and artistic so I write poetry. I play the piano too. Get it?I'm not just an angry woman!!!! I'm nice! *very idiotic expression* And er,I try to post up cute pictures!!!!! Give me credit,I do pimp myself instead of screaming vented frustrations hee hee hee.

    Why am I so scarily honest that I divulge personal details out in the public,and touching sensitive topics like abuse?

    Because I'm tired of the pretentiousness in the world. Once and for all,I'm my own boss, I like being my own censor. If I felt I wanted to share a detail it's because I think you're worth the time. I can get your attention by showing you flesh. Should I? Do I need to? Ah,figure. And I'm a person governed by artistic expressions,if I write I engage. I engage I involve you,the reader. Same with music.

    Do I think I am very hot,that's why I put up so many pictures with demure poses?

    Well,I'm not going to put up ugly pictures and when Im 85,my granddaugther says in an obviously diplomatic tone that she likes looking at my forehead best. Im trying to defend vanity here hee hee hee and as a modern,independent,empowered thinking woman,I'm trying to show you why I think I rock because I happen to like looking better and taking care of myself better.

    Am I an idiot?

    Yes. And a platypus. You love me duncha?hahahahaahah. Ok,this question is for fun.

    Why is this stage of my life interesting?

    Oh. It is trust me. This stage is where I am in a transition zone where alot of things are not visible but in the process. It is the stage where I am watching and observing and learning and there's so much now I'm absorbing. This stage of my life is a searching prowl,of discovery and manuevring and having found traces of myself,I will be piecing them together soon.

    What is your position in my life?

    Well. If you're Paddy Chow, or Anton Wong, then you're people I like talking crazy stuff to without fearing my life in danger after a few tongue in cheek statements. Erm,I take that back about Anton,I think he looks dangerous. If you're Pedro,I think you're the coolest nut because hell,P is like the doppelganger version of me. If you're Wendy,I'll be very nice to you. Same with Ivy,cos I like pretty girls with good characters. Am I wrong to? If you are Dax,rottendoubt and etchy,u're in this mysterious category I won't tell. Hee, now notice those mentioned are artistes,what about the non artistes? If u're butter,starkiss,QQ,raina,DJ,Tom,charlyn,or elle,diana,jaine, and the regular hommies, I'd love you more because of your kind encouraging support. The other artistes, I'd love them 100 percent,for you guys,120!!!! And how about my own pals,like Lawrence Wong and Alvin Goh,Geri,Eldred,jacky,if u're reading this,u already know me so well,I guess I don't need to explain yeah?:) If you're Jason,and Danny,you're the best father-son team ever:),din,shann,narom,evelyn i'll always be extra nice to u guys,cos u guys are just great great great people. And the music genius Jae Chong!

    Big Kiss.

    PS: If you are Terry Chen and sylvia chang, you are in category X because this category is for gods. AHAHAHAHAHAHAH. what have I done?:)

    That's a very noble goal. I think helping others helps us help ourselves.  It's great for the spirit.
    You do know that you're very easy to like and cheer for right? :D

    It's good that you open up on your blogs about past events, it's not an easy thing to do.

    I think your idea for the school is very sweet and I hope you manage it, because I know your experiences will help the children in more ways than one. Good Luck.

    Aww...thank you Lydia and ditto that Aerylon.....I think we all have something in common! :)

    I think it is a great idea you want to start a school Lydia....not only is it noble but it's one helluva ambition too! If you want to start it I think you have to be prepared for the long haul.

    Me and my dad had been supporting underprivileged kids for a long time. My dad had been doing that ever since he started working, and I started the same way. Through his donations my dad brought up some kids in Kenya from their early childhood to the point they became adults and could look after their own family, and I once helped a friend who actually travelled to Kenya to help the locals physically build a school and water well. It's not easy to consider being a long-term supporter, but its the greatest thing you could ever do with your money if you can spare it.

    If you need more info, there's also a HK-based charity I know of called Happy Tree (www.happytree.org.hk). They specialise in helping underprivileged kids all over Asia in places like Thailand and Cambodia, and I happen to know the director.

    Sometimes, I wish I too worked in such capacities, but on a philanthropic level. Its a dream of mine to be able to appropriately manage a fund and be able to do such wonderful stuff. It provides greater meaning to what is otherwise a mundane life I think.

    Good luck with your dream anyways! :)

    Lydia,
    i was just thinking, Re: some of what you told me in the past about that old friend and how you mentioned it here, you should write a script about it! That's one arena where having those bad experiences can really become useful. And helps you work through the memory and also the other person's motivations, etc. After all, in so many Shakespeare plays and great books, there is that kind of betrayal, and it's interesting. Maybe writing it into a script or a story will help you vent! Thanks for the kind words, btw!
    Wendy

    Lydia,  Sometimes I am in a hurry when I have a bit of time to read feeds but I always find that you draw me in.  Good writing and good thoughts.  Keep it up.  You made me realize that I should take the time to share more like you do.  THanks!  Jeanne @ JeanneHartmanActorsDetective.com

    It's refreshing that you're blogs are so candid and honest, and I love how it can be beautifully poetic or touching or it can make me laugh.. :)

    The school sounds like a wonderful idea, I hope you're able to make it happen one day.

    And yeah, there's nothing wrong with putting up nice photos of yourself! More! :)

    Lydia, I'm so happy for you, I see now you're beginning to REALLY enjoying this wonderful journey, where there are no restrictions (so as long as we're not to harm ourselves or others in the process - as KARMA = self inflicted injury, as we're all living in our own making).
    We are free to express our little self, as this little ‘I’ is only a small reflection of the whole, but most people has taken it to be the end all and be all of LIFE.
    Congratulations, and I do hope your positive energy continues to beam for all, welcome to the cruise. ☺

    Very noble of you. A little attention and kindness to a few girls makes a world of difference.

    I want my future ancestors to have some more youthful images of me to refer to. Like, I wasn't always the wrinkled little woman they see now (in the future). I can't believe Mr. P recently said to me, "don't take pictures (of myself)." All he's worried about is what I post in the here and now (on AnD). What a jackass. Grr. Such short-sightedness. I swear it - he refuses to hold the camera to take pics of his wife! I am seething!!

    Wow! that's a big ambition but one that is possible to attain ;) Check out this site http://www.extendyourheart.org/

    It was set up 8 years ago by my friend's sister in CA, helping underpriviledge children in Vietnam to be able to go to school. They too started with the idea of doing something to help underpriviledge kids in Vietnam. It has grown since, just USD 100 a year, you can put a kid to school and there are also other forms of donation.  Correspondence with the child is also allowed, the founders and the sisters who runs the home/schools in Vietnam has been very helpful all these years  in translations because I can't read/write in vietnamese.
