asami comment
「immaが今の世に誕生した意味」を考えながら、今やカリスマ的なファッションアイコンに成りつつある彼女自身が醸し出す「奇妙な存在感」を“採集“し、作品化したいと思いました。

I wanted to create art in this way, “collecting” a strange sense of existence produced by this woman who is becoming a charismatic fashion icon herself, while also considering the significance of imma being brought into this world.

越戰老兵回越南找尋他當年(1968)參訪的寺廟

Easter Sunday is a very significant day for me, but maybe not for the reasons you might think.

I was raised in “The Church”.

I attended Episcopal services at St. James in Kent, Washington regularly as a child AND served as an Altar Boy, and at an older age, was The Head Altar Boy in our parish. I used to carry the parish cross to lead the processions at St. Mark’s Cathedral in Seattle during the annual gatherings of Cathedral Day.

I was very serious about my faith. I was dedicated. I was a believer.

My faith began to fracture in 1957 after my near fatal experience with bi-lateral pneumonia. I had been hospitalized for the whole month of April of that year at Seattle’s Children’s Hospital. At one point, the hospital summoned my parents, who had gone home for a much needed rest, and said they should return immediately because “I might not make it through the night”.

Shortly after that, when the annual “Parish Pledge season” came around, my folks explained to Rev. Warren P. Frank, that they were very sorry but that they could not afford to pledge that year, due to excessive medical bills. Father Frank, in addition to being our parish priest, was also our next door neighbor. We shared a common fence. We used to share hellos and conversations that normal neighbors did in those days.

For their sins, they were ostracized. The priest turned a cold shoulder. He became distant. He shunned my parents for not being able to pledge to the church. He was no longer a friendly neighbor. This action hurt me so much. That was my first wake up.

In later years, I happened to spend a lot of time around “Born-Again” “Holier than Thou” Fundamentalist Christians and was exposed to the hypocrisy of faith: Living one way, professing another…..all the while denying the hypocrisy. I was even gaslighted into believing I needed to become “Born Again’ if I was to have any real worth as a human being.

I continued in the church until I was 18, but I remember, as I sat in the sanctuary while assisting the priest in the service of Holy Communion, the thought kept recurring to me that there is “something more”. Something deeper. I had reached point where the belief system was just too unrealistic and implausible for me.

I quit going to church on a regular basis, but continued to attend on major religious holidays like Christmas and Easter more out of habit than faith.

My interest and faith in Christianity wained, and by the time I turned 20, I no longer considered myself a member of the church.

On Easter Sunday, April 14, 1968, at the age of 21, while serving with the US Army in Vietnam, possibly out of habit or in an attempt to try to make sense of my current situation, I attended Easter services at The Chapel of Peace in Qui Nhon, Vietnam.

As I left the Easter church service at The Chapel of Peace that sunny, warm Sunday morning in Vietnam, I was immediately thrust back onto the streets of a war torn, poor country and the reality of chaos, suffering, uncertainty and fear surrounded me. The tranquility and solitude of the church had vanished in a flash. The all embracing, loving, but very judgmental, God seemed to as well.

But from that chaos emerged another kind of peace. A sense of peace that accepted the reality of that chaos and a philosophy of how to live within it. There was a sense of acceptance, resilience, tenacity and hope I had not seen before. And from the middle of that chaos were so many warm, smiling and happy faces. There WAS something more. Those were Buddhist faces looking back at me.

That day would end up being the last day I attended a Christian church as a believer.

For a few months prior I had been frequenting many Buddhist temples in Qui Nhon with my Korean Army Tiger Division Taekwondo martial arts teachers. Being that they were all Buddhists, they liked to visit the temples on their days off and invited me to go along. One temple in particular, Long Khanh Pagoda, was one that was almost surreal. Something about being there made me feel very familiar and comfortable with it all. It was like I had been there before. I became very attached to Long Khanh Pagoda.

I started visiting Long Khanh pagoda on a regular basis. I also began to read Alan Watts and D.T Suzuki and shortly after, converted to a Zen Buddhist.

Thus began my journey back to Buddhism, returning to a place I had existed in a former life.

Through all the tough times my life, the teachings and philosophy of The Buddha have carried me on a path of enlightenment and clarity, that was lacking in my experience with Christianity.

I have never doubted or regretted it.

I had been back to Qui Nhon two times since 1968. I had spent days looking for Long Khanh pagoda but was unable to find it. The combination of time, change and memory had failed to help me.

In 2015, at the very end of my second visit to Qui Nhon, after having spent two days looking unsuccessfully and preceded by a very strange series of circumstances, I found myself instantly back at Long Khanh Temple. It was totally unplanned, but it was clearly no accident. It was predestined.

Long Khanh Pagoda had grown and was much more beautiful than before. I met with some of the monks and explained my past relationship with this temple. I was warmly embraced by the community.

For me, it was a very emotional and uplifting experience, as if I had been guided there purposely by an invisible force. I was welcomed home. I was shown that my journey was validated. I was bathed in the spirit. It was one of the most amazing feelings of fulfillment and enlightenment I have ever experienced.

Puppet of Computer Games

那天下午，我花了三個小時在一個客人的家看風水，一方面也是要多點時間向他們說佛法，因為我為他們的家運擔憂。

我在那裡的三個小時，客人的青少年兒子也幾乎把自己關在房間裡三個小時玩電動。

客人說，他整個假期都是這樣過的。

為何客人會允許孩子這麼做，真是讓我百思莫解。

這裡溫馨提醒大家：

當一個房間的某種風水和某種孩子的八字配在一起時，會造成孩子要玩電動的欲望無法制止。

這就是為什麼了解孩子的八字，只不過是孩子的改運的一部份。居家風水在打造孩子的未來和發揮她他自身的潛能，有著舉足輕重的影響，因為它能夠彌補或惡化一個孩子八字上的不足。

還有⋯⋯

在佛教五戒中，排名第一的戒就是不殺生。

這戒若犯，其罪報是最嚴重的。

玩殺生的電腦遊戲，猶如犯了殺生戒。

當遊戲玩家動了那個心念要殺時，他的身和意已造了殺業。

佛法也告訴我們過度沈迷電腦遊戲，而沒在真實世界裡做出任何貢獻，都會投胎做螞蟻🐜🐜🐜。

因為他們並沒有珍惜做人的福份，去做有用的事情。所以，輪迴做勤勞的螞蟻是讓他們更有貢獻，彌補之前荒廢的人生。

越小隻的動物，業障是越重的，因此越難重得人身，聽聞佛法，而免受被人宰殺或死於非命的命運。

有些人說，玩電動也能有大事業。

拜託，不要自欺欺人，那也要看你孩子有沒有這個命。不是所有的人都能從電動賺錢，沒燒錢就已經偷笑了。

同樣的理由，就算我們讀萬卷書，也不見得就一定有好的文筆，更別說些什麼國際暢銷小說。電動打得再厲害，和能夠以電動謀生，需要的是兩種不一樣的技能、心態和運勢。

就好像那些網路行銷的大亨，我曾花一些時間去研究他們的八字、面相和個人歷史。除了他們自身的努力和耐力以外，他們的成功始終離不開他們八字的伏藏。

愛一個孩子，不代表你就應該讓他揮霍自己的福份。

要不然，他長大後，福份就會所剩無幾。這也是為什麼有的孩子童年很美滿，成人後卻很辛苦。

我奉勸各位爸爸媽媽們：

你當然有權可以以你的金錢來溺愛你的孩子。

今時今日的父母，都會有些許害怕孩子會叛逆，會疏遠他們，或更糟糕的就是，從他們的臥房窗口來個「真人跳傘」，讓父母深深譴責自己。

但是，盲目地用物質來展示我們對孩子的愛，無法為他們買來一個更好的人生前程。

好命，始終得從父母去教導孩子如何在幼年時就去播善的種子。如此一來，在孩子內心的系統裡，就會很自自然然地去做，如同我們每天早上自動會刷牙一樣。

問題是⋯⋯⋯當父母拒絕學習如何改善自己的人生時，無論什麼藉口，那孩子也有樣學樣，便自然無法跳出這家族的命運DNA。

因為從來沒有人告訴過這孩子，原來命是可以這樣改過來的。

—————————————

The other afternoon, I spent 3 hours at a client’s home for a Feng Shui audit and also to speak the Dharma to the family, for I worried over their declining family luck.

For the 3 hours I was there, the teenage son spent almost all of it in his room, with the door closed, playing computer games.

I was told that was how he spent almost the entire school holidays.

It was strange to me that his parents would allow him to be like that.

Here’s a gentle reminder from me.

When a bedroom of a certain Feng Shui is matched with a child of a certain Bazi, the urge to play computer games will be irrepressible.

This is why understanding a child’s Bazi is just one part of the Destiny equation. The home Feng Shui plays a pivotal role in shaping the child’s potential and future too, for it can make up/worsen for what the child lacks in his/her Bazi.

Another thing is...

In the 5 Buddhist precepts, the number one precept is Abstain from Killing 不殺生.

This carries the heaviest sin.

Playing computer games that involves a lot of killing is akin to committing the sins of killing.

When the person who plays the game gets emotionally involved in the killing, his body and mind will have committed killing.

The Dharma also states that excessive playing of computer games with no contribution in the real world, will lead to one to being reincarnated as ants 🐜🐜🐜.

Reason being, they did not do useful things when they had the good fortune to be humans. So as ants, they are forced to be more diligent (and sociable).

The smaller an animal is, the heavier their negative karma is, hence the harder it is to be born again as humans to hear the Dharma and not get killed as animals.

Some people say that hey, playing computer games can also lead to big careers.

I say, don’t kid yourself. That only applies to some Bazi, not ALL Bazi.

It’s the same reason why not all of us can write very well even if we read a lot, much less write an international bestseller. Playing a computer game well and making a business to profit from it call for two different skillsets, mind capacities and naturally, different sets of luck.

Like those big guys in the internet marketing arena, I once spent some time to study their Bazi, facial features and personal history. Apart from their personal diligence and perseverance, it still boils down to the makings of their Bazi that lead to their success.

Loving a child doesn’t mean allowing him to squander his good fortune.

Otherwise, his good fortune may have run thin by the time he grows up. And that is one reason why some young adults have a sweet childhood but a rocky adulthood.

My advice to all parents: Sure, you can smother your child with everything that your money can afford.

In this age and time, we are all somewhat afraid that our child will rebel against us, distant themselves from us or worse, do a free-fall skydive from their bedroom window, leaving the parents in deep remorse.

But at the end of the day, plain loving our children with materialism will not buy them a better Destiny.

The seeds to a better fortune always lie in teaching your children how to sow the seeds when they are young, so that in their O.S., they will do it by default. Just like how we would automatically brush our teeth every morning.

The problem is...when the parents refuse to learn how to better their lives, with whatever excuse, then of course, by the theory of monkey see monkey do, it is rare that the child will be able to jump out of the Destiny DNA.

Because nobody teaches the child how it is possible.

Đối với những người ghiên ăn xôi, hẳn xôi khâu dục là một món không thể bỏ qua. Độc đáo ở chỗ, miếng thịt ba chỉ được luộc, chiên rồi đem kho, khi cắn một miếng cảm giác mềm mại như tan chảy ở đầu lưỡi.

Khâu nhục hay còn gọi là món nằm khâu, là món ăn có nguồn gốc từ Trung Quốc đã theo chân người Tày, người Nùng du nhập vào Việt Nam, dần được biến tấu và trở thành một món đặc sản nổi tiếng ở Lạng Sơn. Hiện nay, khâu nhục thường được dùng phổ biến trong các dịp lễ Tết, cưới hỏi… của người dân Lạng Sơn, đồng thời có mặt ở nhiều nhà hàng trên khắp cả nước để phục vụ thực khách.

Khâu nhục được làm từ nguyên liệu chính là thịt heo, cách làm không quá cầu kì nhưng tương đối lạ, nhưng vị cũng lạ, mới ăn có thể sẽ chưa thích nhưng càng ăn càng mê.

For those who eat sticky rice sticky rice, sex must be a dish not to be missed. Unique in that, pieces of bacon are only boiled, fried and then stored, when biting a piece of soft feeling as melting at the tip of the tongue.

Humiliation, or stitched dish, is a dish originating from China that has followed the Tay and Nung people into Vietnam, gradually being modified and becoming a famous specialty in Lang Son. At present, humiliation is commonly used in the Tet holidays, weddings ... of the Lang Son people, and at many restaurants across the country to serve customers.

Humiliation is made from the main ingredient of pork, which is not too fussy but relatively strange, but the taste is strange, new food may not like but the more you love it.

If you know where there is a delicious restaurant, crowded to recommend to many people or want to advertise the restaurant, please comment below or call 0789570389.

Hi Youtube Family,


Today’s Vlog:
Bickering Over Christmas,
Toddler Hogging Kisses
Holiday Blues,
Chilling With Tsang Family,
SLURPY SLURP!


This is officially going to be our last vlog of 2016. It's quite bittersweet as I type this. What an awesome year it’s been. 2016 was the year we moved into our dream house, visited the 2 schools we built together, toured Asia, raised more money to build 3 more schools, launched my signature eyeshadow palette and now in process of writing my own book. It’s been jam packed with opportunities and has probably been my busiest year yet. Couldn't have done it without you all by my side. Thank you for sticking by the Bubz family for yet another year.

I’m not proud to say I have been a bit of a grinch during the holidays. Unfortunately, I don’t handle well being around big crowds for long periods of time. I end up extremely emotional and I guess I “malfunction” by acting strange. It also meant that the littlest of things would get to me and guess who I took it all out on? Yep, poor Tim. Turns out being out of the house for the day was exactly what I needed to recharge. I took it as him kicking me out so I was mad at him at the time.

I stormed out and forgot to bring my keys and the day after, I was wondering how I return with dignity since I needed him to open the door for me. I realised I had been over dramatic. In the end, I swallowed my big fat pride and just apologised for my poor attitude over the holidays. He did too for retaliating. We realised the price of being right is too big to pay. Tim is happy to have his happy wife back. I’m disappointed at myself for being such a Debbie Downer over the holidays but I made sure to spend the remaining days of 2016 chirpy and grateful again.

We’re not doing much for New Years Eve. We're just going to be chilling at home as a family. We want to take this moment to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!! May 2017 be another year to walk in love, gratitude and kindness. Remember, a positive mind brings a positive life. Always be hopeful.

Love, the Bubz family xo
