Life Stories

Guess my Saturday turned out to be very interesting. Woke up with an extremely swollen left scapula region... and after cooking lunch, went to look for my school mates Dimitri and Jessica. And after a few needles and cuppings, the swelling disappeared! The wonders of chinese medicine... the importance of friends...

Drop by BBM after where i was fed with a sumptuous meal as always. And Charity Focus was having their gathering there too! This is a phenomenal group of young people that started a non profit organization and now doing wonders around the world. Kudos especially to Nepun!

They screened an independent movie documentary - Joe's story. About the producer's friend Paul and how their family's love got their father who suffered from traumatic brain injury back on the road to recovery. It was really touching... and Silas, the director was there to talk about it himself. And everyone just shared these amazing stories of giving, compassion, humilty and healing...

At the end of it, Silus needed a ride to SF and i offered at first but he said it was ok. So I was going to leave, but something in me told me to wait a little more... and it turns out that the people who were driving him were gonna drop him at the train station. So he did need the ride afterall... I'm glad i trusted my instincts at that moment as it got me a new friend - Silas, 26, independant film producer, sending the message of hope to the world...

Being around all these great people really inspires you... and makes u think what u want to be in the future... and it gives you the message that every single little thing that you do, can be the hope in someone's life.
