...

Majority of us remain one of the following:



Ignorance-- have never gotten hold of accurate information or have a lack of information or lack of knowledge. Ignorance or apathy is one of the biggest problems in the world today. Rather than opening your mind…. chose to be the door Blindness.



Indifference—may not be the biggest problem, but it affects much more than we might think. Sometimes, we become indifferent to the needs of others…. We become indifferent to the history… Have you been feeling a little complacent lately? Have you been feeling like nothing you do is going to make a difference? Rather than choosing to have many friends and few things, we chose to have few friends and many things. We are placed in abundance of possession. Rather than much love…. chose being greedy.



Intolerance is the biggest problem in the world today over different beliefs and ideologies. Intolerant people know the other side of stories, but reject to go further. So accuracy of information is intentionally ignored. Rather than opening the door…. chose shutting the door.

I live by three S’s.

Everyday, I live by three S’s.

'Soul Food' for those who are in grief with the death of the loved one!

This is 'Soul Food' for those who are in grief with the death of the loved one!


Sautéed Mustard Green & Swiss Chard with Cashew & Thirteen Raspberries!

I made this for YOU because YOU are in grief! I used bitter vegetables of all the sadness, all the heart-broken tears, all the misery, all the sorrowfulness and all the grief. I cooked with my love to cook it down and added Cashew & Thirteen Raspberries.

Why Thirteen Raspberries????

Thirteen is Moon's number...when Moon orbits mother earth Thirteen times---four seasons are passing... Spring !!!!♥♥☆.`❥•♪♫ ♥♥

Summer !!!!♥♥☆.`❥•♪♫ ♥♥

Fall !!!!♥♥☆.`❥•♪♫ ♥♥

And winter!!!!♥♥☆.`❥•♪♫ ♥♥

Then another four seasons...and then another four seasons...and then another four seasons...

Death is not the end....Death is not the final!

We will come again!!!!!!!♥♥☆.`❥•♪♫ ♥♥

We will meet again!!!!!!!♥♥☆.`❥•♪♫ ♥♥



I used Raspberries because the taste of Raspberries are sweet and subtle, which may help you to the soft and sweetness of good memories that will dominate the other flavors in the end, in addition to Cashew's sweet, creamy, and nutty flavor.



I found that the loss of a loved one is most stressful event and can cause more psychological crisis and physical damages. I knew from my own experience during the mourning of my mom's death. But, we need to find closure and a healthy way to say good bye…

Even from sudden and unexpected death.



I am doing this because I saw my mom when we lost my brother from the tragic death. He was only the age of 12and died unexpectedly when I was 6 years old. The tragic death of my brother was my mom's biggest scar. I grew up watching my mother crying over her remorse in the bed, in the kitchen, in her heart, and in her spirit. She drowned herself in sorrow. My other siblings and I have carried the scar from the tragic death and my mother’s remorse until now because we could not do anything. We were helpless to comfort my devastated mother. I was too young to help my mom’s cope. But, now I am old enough to understand her and I want to comfort her.

So….Now, I consider YOU as my mom to comfort YOU because YOU are my mom. So I made this 'Soul Food' for YOU! Take Thirteen Raspberries and remember we are in circle...cycle...and recycle!



When you are ready, start writing about your loved one a poem or a letter and describe what he meant to YOU.



Many *hugs* to you.

Many *love* to you.

Many *peace* to you.

I wish you strength as you mourn your loss, and may you find peace inside.

From Your dautgher!!!

My Happy Utopian house from the street!.

Let's Spoil Children with flowers, trees, and mountains!

Emily, my neighbor's Three-Years old pretty girl, visited me with her daddy yesterday when I was in my Happy garden. With happy smiling, dhe was running into me and told, "I want flowers".


I love seeing her smiling! I love hearing her voice! She told me some more, but I could not understand what she was trying to say, except the word, 'dying'. Her daddy explained, "What she is trying to say is the flowers you gave her a few days ago are dying in our house".

I asked, "Do you want more flowers?" Emily gave me a big nod with her famous jumping dance. I made some cut flowers and gave her a bunch of small sunflowers. This pretty girl was dancing, rotating and jumping her little body. It's very amusing to see her reaction! She said," I want more". I wanted to give her the biggest sunflower because I know that she loves big flowers.

Her daddy told me, "Please don't spoil her. She will ask you more and more." I told him, "I want to spoil her with pretty flowers since I have so many flowers and I love her so much."

When I handed her the biggest sunflower, she gave all the flowers in her little hands to her daddy. She wanted to carry only the biggest. Bigger than her whole head! Her whole body was leaning toward one side in order to hold the biggest. Now, she said, “Let’s go home, daddy!” This genius smart girl already figured out these cut flowers need water. They left with Happy smiling, which made me happy. I like hearing her Happy giggling! I like being around Happy Children!



We give our Children Barbie dolls!

We give our Children cameras!

We give our Children internet!

We give our Children toys and computer games!



So our Children want to play with toys and computer games!

So our Children want to be like Barbie dolls!

So our Children want to see through camera!

So our Children want to communicate through internet!



This is the time we need to change.

Let's Spoil Children with flowers, trees, and mountains!

From my Happy Garden!

My 'Uncle Servant’

I would like to share the story of my 'Uncle Servant’.

As a little girl, I grew up with my 'Uncle Servant’. He was always there for me and for my family whenever we were in need of help. Like Aladdin's magic lamp, he magically appeared in the nick of time with his big smiling! Sometimes, he appeared with snacks when I was craving for something, other times, he appeared in the middle of nowhere to help/rescue me. Whenever I saw my ‘Uncle Servant’, I ran to him. He hold me and gave me a big hug and then he always asked, “How’s my baby princess?” I liked to be called “princess”!



He gave me either piggy back rides or horseback rides. He sometimes gave me a ride in his A-frame carrier. This was one of my favorite things to do. I loved riding on his back. I loved being higher than his head. He knew how to make a little girl happy. I was singing and dancing on his back. Sometimes I grabbed his two ears imitating to drive cars. My parents and my grandma did not like what I was doing with him even though he told them that he loved doing it to hear my laughter. Anyway, I always got what I wanted because I was the only baby at my house!



My 'Uncle Servant’ always appeared for me and my family. My grandma told me, my 'Uncle Servant’ became our servant voluntarily because he promised to be our servant to my household out of gratitude. My great-grandpa was a Korean traditional doctor and treated his mom’s severe illness when he was young and could not afford to pay. After my great-grandpa saved his mom, he came to my great-grandpa’s house to be a servant, but my great-grandpa kicked him out and told him to go home to take care of his mom. My great-grandpa told him that’s the first and foremost priority in his life. Despite of the fact that he insisted to be a servant, he was not allowed to work at my great-grandpa's house.



A few years later after his mom’s death, my 'Uncle Servant’ came to my house to clean and shovel early in the morning without anybody noticing him. One day, he got caught by my grandma who told him not to come. He cried and told my grandma that coming to our house was the least he could do as pay back so that he could meet his mother in heaven with a smiling face. He begged to my grandma not to kick him out when he cleaned and farmed for my household. My grandma reluctantly agreed to let him to come to our house.



Because he told me that he is my servant---my ‘Uncle Servant’, I was getting all the special treatments from him, becoming my toy and my horse--and my Aladdin's magic lamp. In fact, he loved listening my non-stop talking because I loved talking. We need each other because we are friends and family. Today, I miss my 'Uncle Servant’ so much! I miss his BIG smiling!

Let's Spoil Children with kissing, hugging, and smiling!

I love the phrase, "Children are our future!"


We have to spoil our Children with kissing, hugging, and smiling!

Based on my experiences, people who have good childhood memories never go wrong no matter what suffering and pain they need to go through!

Children do not need thousand toys!
Children do not need computer games!
Children do not need faked guns to play!

All Children do need your LOVE!
All Children do need your CARE!

Let's hug and kiss your children...our neighbor's children....our community's children...our future!

What we need?

We need only three things:

1. Three meals per day;
2. Cloth to protect our rental body;
3. Place to rest/sleep.

We do not need diamond. We do not need expensive cloths. We do not need the bigger and higher house. We do not need expensive car. So many things that we possess--We do not need them at all. Human Greediness... Human Arrogance...Those are killing our mother earth.

I am responsible for Everything!

I am responsible for my 'Rental body'.


I am responsible for my health.

I am responsible for YOUR health.

I am responsible for YOU.

I am responsible for YOU and YOUR family.

I am responsible for the city where we live in.

I am responsible for the nation where our rental body reside in.

I am responsible for our earth.

I am responsible for Gulf oil spill.

I am responsible for the Afghanistan War.

I am responsible for September 11 Attack!

I am responsible for all the wars.

I am responsible for all the violence.

I am responsible for the past.

I am responsible for our children.

I am responsible for future.


Why?


Why am I responsible?

Why am I responsible for YOU?

Why am I responsible for Everything?



Because All we are interconnected and interrelated, like a big spider web.

Because We live in past, present, and future all together.

Because We live all together.

Because We are one-giant-big family.

Because We need each other.

Because Mother earth represent our past because mother earth show what we did

Because Children represent our future because they will show what we do

Because We have destroyed mother earth and produced “global warming”

Because We all are the children of the past

Because We have caused indirectly all the actions in the past

Because We have directly benefited by the past

Because We are responsible for the past only in respects that we need to correct mistakes that were made by the past, our ancestors so that We will not repeat.

Because I am responsible for YOU.

Because I am responsible for YOUR happiness.
I am here to make YOU happy from my Happy garden.



That's why I send Happy flower to you.

That's why I offer Happy cooking to make YOU happy.

That's why I believe Oneness!

Soon, there will be Oneness!

Happy Kale cooking!





Kale has the most nutritional value--a good dietary source of vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin K. Kale contains the most vitamin K among all veggies, but fewer calories. Kale has powerful antioxidant properties a good source of calcium and iron to help build strong bones . kale contains indoles, which have been shown to protect against cancers. Kale's vitamin K provents blood clotting and protect the heart....goes on and on.


IMO, besides all nutritional value, Kale is the strongest one to survive, yet easiest one to grow. She also survived severe winter here and became surprisingly soooo sweet and crunch. She taught me her survival tendency--so I survived. She taught me to produce wisdoms and maturity dispite of suffering and severe winter--so I became wise.

I have Happy 'Three Year-Old Kale' sister.
Three Year-Old Kale has been doing amazing job!
I salute Three Year-Old Kale!
I continue to salute her for her survival wisdom and dedication.
Let's LOVE Kale every day!

Cooking With Tears In My Eyes

From the bottom of my heart with tears in my eyes, I cooked "Fiery-Hot Chicken Stew with 49 Garlic Cloves".




I am grieving… I am mourning.… I am crying for all the Missing ones.… I am crying for all the Kidnapping ones .… I am crying for all the Comfort Women.… I am crying for my two missing aunts... so that they will not cry anymore. I have two missing aunts—Japanese took them somewhere (early 1940) before US dropped the A-bomb, but they never came home.

My grandmother was waiting for them to come home until she died. They never did.



I would like to dedicate this Fiery-Hot Chicken Stew to all those Missing ones and Kidnapping ones on this planet who never came back home once they were taken. I want to dedicate all the crying dead souls, living in this universe, including my two missing aunts and other Comfort Women. I also want to dedicate this Fiery-Hot Chicken Stew to all of you both the dead and the living, who were kidnapped and raped by Greedy people. This food is also dedicated to all the women in the world who suffered becauee of Greedy people.



Chicken was chosen because one of my missing aunts had a dream to eat chicken every day because they did not have enough foods. I want to have one of my aunt’s dream come true of a chicken lover.



Before cooking, I took a shower and dressed in white. I comb my hair neatly by running my wooden omb from the top of the crown to my neck and tied hair neatly to make the knot.

I kneeled down and said, Thank you Survivors of Comfort Women!
Dear Survivors of Comfort Women, thank you for your testimonies. Thank you for sharing your unimaginable ordeal. Thank you for your courage to reveal the unimaginable experience. Thank you for your stories that could have contained my missing aunts.



While I was cooking, I felt that Missing ones and Kidnapping ones did not know where they were going. I felt that they did not know what these transgressions will bring for the rest of their life. I felt that they were kidnapped to serve as sex slaves—some of whom were only 13 to 16 years old, servicing 30 to 60 men per day. Heavenly Emperor’s soldiers queued in long lines in front of the cubicles at the 'comfort station'. Historian Yoshiaki Yoshimi, who conducted the first academic study on the topic which brought the issue out into the open, estimated the number to be between 80,000 and 200,000. A majority of the comfort women were from Korea, though others were recruited or kidnapped from China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Burma, Malaysia, and Indonesia.



I felt that they were kidnapped for both body and soul. I felt that they could not escape from being in the frontline of the war, but died or were killed--never came back home while their family was waiting. I felt the horrible conditions they endured: hunger, beatings, assaulting, violating, and invading their body.



I felt their fear… I felt their unexpected tears… I felt their frustration… Because I felt all these, I cried.

I cried.

I cried.

I cried.

I cried because yet still their suffering is beyond my imagination.

I cried because I can never fully capture their agony…their ordeal.



Despite the fact that I can't fully imagine it, and there are so many things I still can't understand or picture, I feel that women’s suffering continues even today, both physically and psychologically across the world. I feel that the victims’ suffering isn't an isolated case, but it appears to be an ongoing matter (e.g., the Serbs committed against women in the former Yugoslavia in 1991). Throughout history, so many innocent were killed and died out of this, all over the world. Even at this moment, right now, the city I live in Albany, NY, America, many young girls are raped and sold into the slavery in money and economic driven society. Our females who are forced into sex slaves experience not only sexual violence but also institutionalized racism.



Many victimes were beating to death. Many were starved to death. Many burning houses with live innocent people inside in their houses while serving sex slaves. Some parents in starvation sold their daughters into sex slaves.



Many unimaginable brutalities have been committed by men—born of women’s wombs—but raised by the whole world. Thus, our uncorrupted female ancestors were the victims of greed-incited violence. And still is...
