About me! :)

Hey Guys! So, I thought if I was going to do a blog, I better tell you guys something about myself. 

Hong Kong at night. Up at the Peak. Isn't it beautiful? 

My real name is Hoi Kiu Tong. ( I know...this is when you go "WHAT??" Ya, sorry guys, my real name isn't really QQ, it's Hoi Kiu. But i really like QQ better, so please keep calling me that. :D) I was born in the good old place called Hong Kong, China. :) It's such a wonderful place. I love it with all my heart. If you have never been there, you really should go. I highly recommend it. It is a place where if you are at the right place at the right time, you can see every corner of Hong Kong from that point. :) pretty amazing huh? Anyways...back to introducing me. My family moved here when I was 8, and since I am 18 now, it would of been the year 2001 when we arrived in the United States. (Aren't you glad I can count?? :D) After we moved here, my dad got a job at Westminster College. My mom stayed home to take care of me and my sister. Speaking of my sister, let me introduce her to you guys. :) Her name is Ching Ching, but her real name is Hoi Ching. She is 14 years old, and she is the best sister ever!!!! :) I love her to death. So, just so you guys know, my family is way important to me. They are everything to me. I would do anything for them. We might have our fights and disagreements, but in the end, they have a very special place in my heart. It doesn't matter what happens. Family is always family. :) 

My mom, sister, and Me!
Dad is taking the pic. :)

I love a lot of things. Never can figure out which one I love the best. I love music, and reading. I love the piano, and clarinet. I love people that can write music for me to play. I love eating, and shopping. I love helping others, and serving. I love seeing smiles on the faces of others. I love little kids running around laughing and being themselves. I love the feeling of peace. I love Taylor Swift and her wonderful music. I love Laughter. I love all my friends. I love the sky, and the sun. I love swimming. I love the rain. I love water. Any kind of water..even puddles (i step in them all the time..)  I love the Gospel. I love what the Holy Ghost does in my life. I love the feeling of love. :) See?? What did I tell you?? I love so many things! It's crazy! and this isn't even the full list yet... :) 

Talking about things that I love, don't you ever feel like the world just stops when you are doing something that you truly, absolutely love?? Something clicks when you are in that moment that just make you feel like everything is clearer. I feel like that all the time. Whenever I am playing a song on the piano that I really like, or looking up into the beautiful bright blue sky everything just seems perfect. It just seems like everything pause for a minute, and you are the only one on the earth. Nothing else matters anymore, and there is only you, doing what fills your heart desires. :) That is the best feeling in the world for me. It doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it means the world to me, and I hope it means the world to you also. :)

I am the kind of person that can have the funnest time in my life just talking with people. I don't need to do things that are exciting. I just need to communicate and know them better. It doesn't matter if we are sitting on the floor in my basement where its cold and hard. As long as we are having fun, talking, and bonding, that is all I ask for. Friendship is a very important thing to me. I cherish all my friends, and I love them with all my heart. I know that I can always trust them, and know that they are always there for me. No matter where I am in life, I can count on them to pull me back to the place where I am suppose to be. :) and I am so grateful for that. (It might seem like I am rambling, but I am not, I promise! I am just explaining who I am, and what i think.)

Friends are amazing! Cherish them always!

I am really big on the concept of "being ourselves." I believe that I don't have to put on makeup to feel better about myself. I believe that it is the inside beauty that matters. I love the personality of the person, more then the appearance of them (not that looks aren't important, but still...you know..) I genuinely just love all people. I like to think that i have a big heart. I try to make sure everyone around me is loved and cared for. One of my biggest philosophy in life is that "If the people that I love and care about is happy, then I will be happy also." I don't know if that always works, but that is what I try to do every single day. :) 

I love having the option of agency, and to be able to choose our own actions, whether or not it is the right thing to do. Sometimes there are other people that are in a harder situation where they can't choose for themselves. They always feel like they are in somebody's else control. Sometimes, I feel like one of those people. I don't exactly know where I am going, because I am not making my own choices. But other times, I am so glad that I have the agency to say that "no! I will make my own choices no matter what!"  Those are the times where I feel the weakest, and the strongest. Those are the moments where I really find myself, and know what I am going to become. Sometimes, it takes a lot more people that understand me more then myself to really see what is going on with me. And those are the time I am most grateful for everything I have. 

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am proud of it. I will stand up for that always. I don't ever want to forget why I am here on earth. I love the gospel, and I love my testimony. I know it's real with all my heart. :) 

I love everything I have about life. Sometimes it might be though and dark, but other times, its wonderful. I am learning to live with what I have and just be the most positive about it. I have to learn to become a better person, and know that no matter what, my father in Heaven loves me, and so does the Savior. I don't ever want to give up half way. No matter what I feel, or think, I hope that I can always remember the big picture, and know that there are people here that loves me and cares for me. 

Well, there you have it. Almost everything that you need to know about me. I know it's long. And i am so glad that you read it all. I am so happy that you will spend 5 minutes just to read about me. :) I hope you like this post, and got to really learn more about me. :) 

love,
