Pacific Ties features two APA Bruins fighting Mr. Luke 01:37 am  ··  december 06, 2009 ]

jedifreac
An article I wrote about two Asian American UCLA Bruins currently fighting leukemia, "Bone marrow drivin' to save lives," was published in Pacific Ties, the Asian American News Magazine at UCLA.


Click here to read the article in .pdf


Full Article Under the Cut )

In writing the article I had the privilege of interviewing both of them over the phone for more than an hour. A lot of articles about marrow donation are short and technical but I was given free reign, so I really wanted to share the human side of their stories. I was so impressed by their inner strength and determination to beat cancer.

You can follow Matthew Nguyen and Janet Liang's progress and thoughts through their respective blogs: TeamMatthew Blogs and Autumn in January.

Matthew is currently post-transplant and while he is still being closely monitored for side effects, he's already re-applying to graduate school. This weekend, Janet was actually discharged early from the hospital since she is responding well to her most recent round of chemo. She is still looking for a match but her grassroots effort has already registered 1,389 people to help the thousands of people searching for a lifesaving donor.

If you haven't registered to join the national marrow donor registry yet, please consider doing so. Like I said in a previous post, there are a lot of discouraging misconceptions about registering and donating, so make sure you know how it works and make an informed decision. You register through a cheek swab and only if you are a match are you asked to donate marrow, oftentimes without surgery. Visit Helping Janet.com for more information and a free registration code.

These sound right up my alley: Cinnamon-Spiced Hot Chocolate Cookies. And THESE are *definitely* up my alley: Cake Sachets ;).

*sigh* I keep wanting and meaning to update, but it's just like... there's no time! I don't even know where it's all going o_O. It's not like I'm DOING all that much, I don't think... yet here I am, it's almost 10pm and I have no idea what happened to my day. Yeesh.

OK, let's see... mini update. I've been crocheting my fingers off. Work is good. Devin is BRILLIANT. Today: Earlier I asked Devin where her nom (paci) was, and she said backpack. I went and checked her little Hello Kitty backpack and sure enough, she'd put it in there! Yay for good baby memeories :). Then later I was looking around for the remote, didn't say anything. Devin not only figured out what I was doing, she popped up next to the sofa with it in her hand! "Here it is!" she exclaimed to me, handing me the remote. This kid is scary smart sometimes :). I know I never did her 2 year update... it's coming... eventually. I could chatter on about her forever. Yesterday she was gogo dancing to Curious George. Last week she put on pants pretty much my herself for the first time. She can put DVDs in all my herself and play them now. She can quote her fave Curious George ep...

See? On and on ;).

I haven't done a whole lot. Thanksgiving, as I posted (kinda) was good. We decided to be lazy for my 4 days off. We saw Albie Fri, Albie and Zach Sat and Zahra Sun. The only Black Friday I did was Michael's, for yarn for ami presents. Devin's sick again, so we were going to go to a baby shower today, but Devin was too sick to go out, especally since it was at 6pm :P. We might have a playdate tomorrow, but it depends on how she's feeling. She napped for 3.5 hours today!! AND went to bed pretty much at 8pm still. WOAH.

And that's it for now! More eventually!!

I discovered amigurumi almost exactly 2 years ago. I already loved crocheting, but this just took it to a whole new level. With so many wonderful things that could be made, I was in heaven!!

I felt like putting all my fave ami links and help together in one spot. So, besides cruising the wonderful [info]weloveamigurumi, here's where I go when I am looking for all things ami!!
