Happy New Year from First Person Magazine Finally, my year of the Cat is over. Yes, in the Vietnamese lunar calendar we have a cat year. I’m not a Rabbit, sorry. If you know me then it will make more sense. Here we are at our neighborhood market MOM (Manila Oriental Market) shopping for goodies to recreate Jon’s new fave dish EVER, “Thai Boat Noodle Soup”. He thinks we’re shopping for pho, but I wanted to give it a shot since we got back from LA. He’s obsessed and I wanna make him happy and try it. I was feeling so full from all the family’s Xmas goodin’s so I opted for the “Jade Noodles” that day which I was quite happy with. Anyway, this pigeon here just reminded me to keep my eyes open and aware of all the strange fruits come my way friend or foe, to observe everything with a good flow. I’ve had a wonderful past few days with old friends reunited and Bozho told me his resolution was to consider all comments a compliment which is an extraordinary way of perceiving things. So, yes… here’s to friends tried and true as well as letting go of our ego to pursue our dreams and being open to ideas, suggestions, collaborations and life as an opportunity to make together. Hope that pigeon doesn’t end up in the freezer aisle.
