Philippines and Rio De Janero

So I was reading the Sunday Examiner about the Manila incident as well as their deteriorating ecosystem; and the Rio delegation. I then had two goals one short term and one long term in mind:

1. Plan on going to the Philippines in November during Chung Yeung Festival to understand how the Philos think about the incident, what the Philo as well as HK government and citizens should do to harmonize the situation. As well as going to check out the ecosystem and how we can prevent another touch wood tsunami from happening. The sad part is everyone worries about me going, because it's the Philippines and there will be no insurance cover hence no one is going to chaperon me and hence I once again feel that I am confined by the so-called love and institutions, and bounded to bi- by-bit make this world a better place. My parents can laugh at the nowadays "helicopter parents" but what about themselves? Since when was being adventurous a crime? Since when was taking risks and following my heart the wrong thing to do? And when will they let go of this 28-year-old? Recently I heard someone say, "parents give everything they can to their children, except who they want to be" As a daughter and teacher I find that highly ironic and perplexing. Somehow confusing as well. Anyhow my next relatively long term goal is: 
2. Sign up to samba dance perform at the Rio De Janero either opening or closing, or even anything trivial just to learn the Rio culture and Portuguese language in a fun playful and of course memorable way. Unfortunately signups are not opened yet but I have signed up for the newsletter!=)

Despite everything I thank God everyday I'm still alive and walking this park of life. Right now all I can do is blog, vlog, teach and love myself. I am still learning to love myself more but its hard when there are so many different people giving their different opinion and philosophies, while i wanna respect and hear what they say, all I really need now is some alone time, or well something that right now I don't have but let's fingers crossed I will have... whom is a man that is not just a friends-with-benefits, not just a soul mate but both... love takes time...
