Beautiful cover :) I always try and educate myself about my heritage at least once each day with something new. I'm going to check at Barnes if this book is in stock! Thanks!!!
Hey FFD - thanks for visiting the blog. I couldn't comment on your blog. But I think you're really pretty and don't look Hmong. I will try my best to post more thoughts about Hmong people on the blog since I wasn't able to find any more news recently.
Thank you Nicki :) I get that alot that I don't look Hmong. LOL I'm new to blogging (thus, after college more time to free up!) so I am still new to the blogging world. About time I leap into the millenium! lol =P I'll check why you can't post on my page?? Hmm..*scratches head* I think it's great your kids want to learn about our heritage. I see your passionate about it also. My dad and I watch documentaries together a lot and he shares books with me also so I share the closeness with your ties to your kids ;) This is the only way for me to preserve my culture as well by reading and watching historical documentories of "us". Like you, the older I've gotten (not a real word, lol) I've been more demoralized then ever and regret not appreicating it sooner. However, It's never too late :) Thanks for your blogs. I'll learn a lot and read a lot of them.
I know nothing about makeup so would love to read more on your blog when you get the chance. :)
I've become more passionate about spreading the Hmong word in the past few years.
I still find it upsetting that many people don't know who Hmong people are. It also angers me that many people think just because my hubby isn't Hmong, that I wouldn't care about my Hmong heritage.
I don't have a MySpace. Use to! but find that I waste too much time on there. I will be here my friend! lols I'll try my best with pointers on makeup. I'm not as savy as all these other girls out here but whatever my 2 cents is worth. Hahaha!
Most of the stuff on this blog are Internet sites, with the sources reference to back to the articles. Even though I am Hmong, myself, I still am learning about my culture every day.
Usually when people ask my ethnicity, I used to hesitate to tell them what my ethnicity is because most people do not know what the heck Hmong is! As I grew older, I learn to appreciate my culture. True, there is not much written in books about Hmong people. However, over time, thanks to the Internet, more sources are available. In the end, I've educated others about the Hmong culture.
I've been criticized of not being Hmong enough. Why? My husband is not Hmong. Sometimes in life, we don't pick and choose who we fall in love with. I'm more Hmong than some Hmong people who claim to have Hmong pride. Just because my husband isn't Hmong or I don't attend Hmong events doesn't make me less Hmong. Doing all that doesn't mean you're more Hmong. I educate myself in the Hmong culture and teach others about it. I can not shelter myself from others and expect others to know who Hmong people are.
The purpose of this blog is for me to blog about anything about the Hmong culture, language, clothing, events, whatever. I wanted a place to come back to share with friends. Before I used to send out emails about my findings. Now I can blog about it.

Boo-who. :) Girl, I have everything from Blogger to Facebook to MySpace to Twitter. I sign up for everything, lol
Ok, so I think I fixed my comment box so it should be good to go! lols
Funny - last week I opened a Facebook and it just wasn't too user friendly! So, I immediately closed it right away again. Boohoo! lols
