I do enjoy life because I have money. But it wasn’t always that way. My Parents were poor when I was born, but they always told us that we had to do well in school so that we would have opportunities that weren’t extended to them. I also grew up in a small town, where we were the only Chinese family and racism was a big factor. But that didn’t stop me from being the best that I could be or doing well for myself. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, blaming others, or cursing the world, I made something of myself – and I made my Family proud. My Parents may have been poor, but they diligent with their beliefs, always worked hard, and we always had more than we needed. I have been working since I was 10 years old, and my Sister started working when she was 13. Currently, I have some money because my Husband and I worked hard to earn money; so that we can maintain a comfortable lifestyle and support our Family. We are able to earn a favourable amount of money because he has (and I had) a very well paying job. (I say “I had” because I have since chosen to be a stay-at-home Mom and run my businesses from home. I run a company that imports/exports recyclables, imports/exports retail goods, wholesales high end mailboxes, and provides computer services. I am also an antiques and collectibles broker, specializing in stamps, on the side.) We were able to land these jobs because we were well-educated formally (through schooling) and street wise (actually living life and learning from our achievements & mistakes). What’s my Mom got to do with anything? Everything I say and do is entirely a representation of myself and my beliefs. I have a wonderful Family; great Parents who are proud of both my accomplishments and the fact that I learned from my mistakes, a smart Sister, an endearing Husband, and an absolutely adorable Son. (Don’t worry, unlike yourself, my Children will have the best education available. My Husband and I are extremely proud of the care we are able to provide our Family, and Everyone is extremely happy.) I take full responsibility for my own actions and words. I don’t see any reason for you to bring my Mother into this, it is obvious that you are without manners. And I have no idea what you’re talking about when referring to playing and something about a lost dog. If you lost your dog you should call the SPCA and put up some flyers. The fact that you mentioned my Mother and how she “needs” to tell me anything shows how mature you really are. A person should always take responsibility for their own actions and words, consequences are not a result of anybody else’s behaviours other than your own. Obviously you are the type who likes to blame other people for every little thing that goes wrong or against you. Please, grow up! I don’t see what your problem is. You made a statement, and I merely posted a reply with my comment. Also, why are you quoting me? You don’t even know what the majority of it means.

PS…For your information, we do have several vacation homes and cottages in some small villages and on some secluded islands, but they seem to be pretty well-protected areas.

Also, Japanese isn’t that hard to learn. I am fluent in English, Taishanese, Cantonese, Mandarin, French, Japanese, and Spanish. I also know some Vietnamnese, Cambodian, Thai, Punjabi, and Italian. Nothing is hard – as long as you are willing to put your all into it.
