Today is my 17th birthday. My family actually celebrated it yesterday along with Women’s Day. One of my presents was the 2001 Steven Spielberg movie AI: Artificial Intelligence. Incredible movie, my parents knew my latest topics of passion are Genetics and Artificial Intelligence, and I’m so glad they bought me this movie! So I watched it today, on my birthday... again, incredible!! It just made my day, a perfect present I think; it brought on so many new thoughts and inspired me.

Talking about inspiring, thank you very much Hong-Anh Nguyen, (pinkie_ahn@yahoo.com) for the Women’s Day online greeting card, I opened it today and it made me smile :) thank you so so much! And thank you Taking It Global for the birthday card!!! :) TIG is so great! I love everyone who is on it, and I adore TIG itself, but I feel guilty for not participating lately. I’m a junior graduating early and starting college right now, so the academic world is hectic and it’s pretty much taking up my whole life right now :/.

Thank you TIG. You truly made my birthday special. Well well well, a new year and a new me; a chance to fill my 17th year of life with great memories. Think positively, be inspired, be informed, and finally take action. :) I’m SO ready~ woot! :) :) :)
