Cherry Blossom

Survived the long cold and snowy winter, I am so glad to say goodbye to “ snow,” “ice,” and “bare tree”.  Spring definitely is here!  Cherry trees burst into bloom looking like  they are topped by clouds.  Delicate pure white and pink petals fill my sight; I am enveloped in a heavenly scent. 

The transience of the blossoms, their extreme beauty and quick death, connote youth, innocence and infatuation. The romance is fleeting- lasting not much longer than a week.

Countless flowers weighing down tree branches within people's reach. I stand in quiet enjoyment...afraid of interrupting this ephemeral beauty. 










In the cherry blossom’s shade, there’s no such thing as strangers! 34th annual Sakura Matsuri cherry blossom festival at Brooklyn Botanic Gardens.

Oh, Ballet!

Tour jete' Triolet

Toe shoe lacing sends pulse racing
Tonight en pointe she would dance
Prima ballerina pacing
Toe shoe lacing sends pulse racing
Expectant audience facing
Supple muscles, lithe limbs entrance
Toe shoe lacing sends pulse racing
Tonight en pointe she would dance!

Pastel billowing, tulle parades
Back stage before act one begins
Just as opening music fades
Pastel billowing, tulle parades
Prismatic troupe of graceful maids
Pirouettes en pointe chorus spins
Pastel billowing, tulle parades
Back stage before act one begins                
Written by Mr. Rock

I was one of those little girls who dreamt of becoming a dancer. I loved to dance in front of people...and they thought I was adorable!

Things changed when I grew older. Mom and Dad were not so pleased that I spent too much time on it. They thought I should be more focused on studying.

Well, I don't blame on them for stopping me from pursuing my dream. I could never make it my career- But I have always kept it in my heart.

The reflection created an illusion
 that you can see through the building on the left


It is all about proportion

Handcrafted Snow Leopard Print Genuine Leather iphone6 + Wristlet

I love my iphone 6 plus. I feel like I need a wristlet for it. I have seen many people drop their phones when rushing to meetings in the office. I cannot afford to risk it.
Snow leopard is the high fashion trend of this winter. A customer purchased my snow leopard purse a few weeks ago. Luckily, I still have some leather remaining to make two iPhone 6 plus wristlets. I will keep one for myself - Only one left to sell! The leather is rare to find.
