hello all… how are u all? i am good, today what i am thinking about? u know, today i am 25 years old, (not my birthday lol) which means i am a quarter of a century. u know during the 20’s, it is full of questions about who am i, what do i want to do? when i was about 18, i left my mom’s house and went to oregon to live with my friend. i felt my mom was treating me like a child. i just wanted to prove to her, i am a adult. of course i did it very early on. of course i was confused about who i am and what do i want. sure there were times i acted like a kid during my 20’s. I did graduate Grants pass high school in Oregon on my independents. also since few years, i been feeling like i am in middle of a rope, being pulled by my family and my friend. sometimes i felt like cutting the rope and running away or go explore myself. it can be confusing sometimes being 25. leaving my family at age 18 was kinda a big deal to me, sometimes i regret what i did but at same time i am glad i did leave my family for while. i just want to know how ur 20’s were like? was it hard to balance yourself about being a adult or being a kid? i never got wild or went to any wild parties or did any drugs or drank alcoholat all, i was just a clean person. but i was kinda selfish and just think of myself alotin my young 20’s but today, all that has changed, i am more thinking of others, helping other, being sweet, being lovely, very nice to others. 20’s can be a confusing decade, but i am sure in 30’s, 40’s and on can be as confusing too. so far in my 20’s i have learned alot of wisdoms, morals from other people. I have learned what i like, like working out, vlogging, taking care of kids, enjoying the nature and i love animals alot too. I am sure i have alot of lessons to learn during my 20’s… it just a pathway to adulthood, away from childhood, but we adults can play like kids sometimes at the right times like at home or party or with kids. alright thanks for watching my vlog…
This video is my home video from 1985, u will see small part of me when i was 2. also you will see a small part where kids are doing BMX bike racing.
You will see kids swinging from rope into water, little kids playing in lake, water skiing, riding 3 wheeler, just having fun at Lake Leba… My family had this cabin for about 50 years now and the cabin is still in good shape, but it is very small.
Hello all… how are u all? i am good here, today i want to ask you guys, I always wondered, what does Love exactly mean? what the differences between love and like? is love only for couples like boyfriend/girlfriend or married couples? Can you love your family and friends? of course i love my family and friends… Love is someone you love for who they are and support them for everything and make eachother happy and laugh… Love is a beautiful thing. I wonder, is there different levels of love or different ways of loving a person? Love is a hard feeling to truly understand. cuz it’s hard to describe to people how much you like them. well of course u show by a hug and showing them support. Do you find it hard to understand exactly what is love? why i am asking? cuz i live with my friend who is a guy, we used to be boyfriend/girlfriend for about 3 years but that never worked out so we are just friends now. of course we are still living together. of course i have times where i feel kinda confused about how i should feel about my friend? I still love him but as a friend. we both have lived together for 8 years. is that normal? today i am kinda learning that it might not be a good thing, cuz of alot of heartaches, due to memories as a couple and confusion with feelings. i never actually had a time to get away from my friend to actually heal the “break-up” from the past. Today i am actually over it since 2 yrs ago and it is past and forgotten but i still have a heartache which is kinda my fault cuz i did not take a long break from my friend. so now i am kinda confused about different kinds of love. so what is love to u?? how much can u love a person? what are different ways? i know for example, a parent loves their baby cuz the baby is their baby. I love my family and friends for who they are… Love is nurturing, makes you happy, and you should love someone for who they are, doing things together and support eachother… I have an other question, Suppose someone would say “oh i like this person better than that other person” is that mean? i would think so in my opinion cuz of course it hurt people’s feelings. also in my opinion it a bad idea to compare people with eachother cuz that same as saying “I am better then you” in my opinion. so tell me your opinion about love in comments… alright thanks for watching my vlog…

Hello all… I just came back home in florida from my month long visit in neb with my family last may 12th. I really enjoy my vacation in Nebraska with my family… one day i went for a long bike ride with my dad, it was fun, my dad is also dealing with hard times now cuz his ex-wife is stalking him and trying to destory him, she even started a fire in a section of my dad’s house. even my dad found a different house to live in, his ex-wife is still stalking him. I also went to deaf expo, was fun and i enjoyed checking things out, looking at booths, meeting different people, the building was kinda small cuz it was very crowded with bunch of people. some people there noticed me as a vlogger too… there some stage shows i watched too, some was good. cuz it was soo crowded, i did not take pictures. I also spend a week with my friend and her baby at her house too, it was fun, i got to help with the baby and spend time with my friend. so in general, i had a good time with my family and i helped with a garage sale one weekend, it was fun.
alright my plans for next vlogs, i will plan to show u my tour of Nebraska school for the deaf i made in 1998 and the Nebraska school for the deaf school play called, Wizard of oz… alright that all for now…
Hello all… Now we know who playing the super bowl on Feb 3… It’s New England Patriots and New York Giants. It was a tight game for the Packers and the Giants. Most of us wanted San Diego Chargers and Green Bay Packers to win but unluckily that did not happen. It did not help that Chargers were missing some of their important players due to injuries. Also I know it was freezing cold for those football players. All-right today the topic is… Being a tomboy… I started being a tomboy after I was about eight years old, it was after my parents divorce and my dad had a girlfriend with two boys. There were more boys in my family, So I decided I want to be just like the boys in my family. I always thought the boys got better things then me. I would steal my brother’s underwear to use it and use their boy’s clothes. I never really had a true lady role model, and my mom is a tomboy too. Sometimes I felt shame of my tomboy’s thing so when I am with my friends who are girls, I would quickly change into girl’s clothes before going to see my friends who are girls. I know it silly to be doing that. But same time I felt like I needed to be a boy in my family cuz it was all boys. But same time I felt shame I was being a boy behind my friend’s back. I know my friends might have already known I was being a tomboy but just said nothing about it. I did cut my hair really short too. I thought I felt happy as a tomboy, I know a lot of girls do go through a tomboy phase too. I just do not like dresses, frilly kind of clothes, flowery clothes. My family would try getting me those girly things and it made me feel like being a boy more. I never really appreciated being a girl as a kid cuz I never really understood why us girls had to wear dresses, have long hair, wear those ugly, flowery clothes. Well now I know that not true. I liked playing rough, getting dirty, having an adventure and other things. Now I understand girls can do those things and wear jeans and just t-shirt and pretty much do whatever they want. That pretty much what I do anyways… Now I am more comfortable wearing girls clothes, since I was about 15 years old but I still use boys clothes sometimes. I would like all your feed backs, comments, experiences… Thanks for watching my vlog…
I describe whats it like to be the only deaf kid in family when it comes to holidays. it usually gets pretty lonely and kinda challenging to have a conversation with the family who speaks only and too time consuming to write back and forth with paper according to the family. I also asked about CODA Interpreting for their deaf parents, is it alright or not? in my personal opinion, it depends on the situation, if the CODA kid wanted to interpret for their deaf parent, then it would only be in stores or resturants, or something not too personal. i would like ur responds from CODA ppl and anyone!!!
Transcript: hello all… I want to tell u my story about what it like to be the only deaf kid in a hearing family, when it comes to holidays like christmas, thanksgiving and family gatherings. my parents divorced when i was 6 years old so i had 2 families to choose from for the holidays. so me and my brothers had to go visit each family in the same day during christmas and thanksgiving, it was not easy cuz i wanted to spend a day with just one family. so it meant more foods, desserts, and more traveling around. when i am with my family, i tend to be lonely and kinda just sit in the corner and watch everyone but yes i do help around by picking up the food or setting the table or stuff like that so i had something to do. when i try to talk to people, i kinda get stuck cuz i am not sure what they are talking about and i don’t want to interrupt an conversation. so it just easier just to sit back and be quiet. I always wished there was a deaf person or a sign buddy with me so i could chat and have a conversation. When i am quiet and not really able to chat with the people in the family, i always felt like i did not belong to the family. yes i can speak but its really hard to hear what people are saying.
Hello all… I would like to talk about my deafness… I was born Deaf, my left ear is totally deaf, my right ear has very little hearing left. I do wear my hearing aid in my right ear. Hearing aid do help me quite well… My whole family is hearing so that makes me only one deaf in my family. I am fine with it but I do get lonely sometimes cuz of communication barriers. My mom and few people like my grandma know some sign. I learned to sign when I was one years old from a teacher who would come to my house to help me practice sign.
I was mainstream in public school until I was in 7th grade. Then I went to a deaf school starting in 8th grade, at Nebraska school for the deaf until 9th grade. Then I moved to Iowa school for the deaf, also I repeated 9th grade. Nebraska
school for the deaf closed in 1998 so a lot of NSD students had to move to ISD. Nsd closed due to low number of students and no budget.
Luckily I was also able to grow up with a deaf family part time, They are my friends and it helped me learn about deaf culture and encouraged me to keep up with my signing skills. I am thankful that I had a “second” family who was deaf, it sure helped me a lot.
I enjoy my deafness because I can basically control how much I want to hear. Like if I wanted to hear something, I would put on my hearing aid, if I choose to be deaf then I simply take off my hearing aid. So you can share ur experience growing up being deaf if you would like… Tell me your pros and cons in being deaf…
