The Debut.....Again

I know this must be my fourth time or whatever I am setting up a blog once again. However, I just can not stay away from writing! In fact, one of my career inspirations was to be an author. If only I have free luxurious time, I would bury myself into a mountain of books. Seriously.

Anyhow, I must tell this story why I chose to name my blog, "Purple Roses." Back in the summer of 2000, I was coming back home from my intern job at Food and Drug Administration Center of Veterinary Medicine in Rockville, MD, I saw a gorgeous bouquet of purple roses waiting for me. It completely took me by surprise, and oh my, it was so breathtaking. My husband (boyfriend back then) Luis explained about how he saw purple roses at one of the street vendors selling flowers outside Dept of Transportation where he used to intern at, and knew he had to get this for me. Purple is my favorite color in the whole world ever since middle school. At that moment right there, purple roses immediately became my favorite flowers just because Luis got it for me. It is extremely rare that we have not seen such kind of purple roses very much since then. Whenever he or I see a bouquet of purple roses, we would grab the opportunity to buy them right there! We have talked about planting our own purple roses......one day.
