I am back in the classroom teaching private lessons! I took a brief break to film and prepare for the music video but I have been missed too much by my students.  Even though I am now giving lessons again I am still filming lessons and preparing for the music video. Come by and say hi soon 🙂

Which shirt do you like most?  Mine, the classic shirt (the one Penny & I are fighting over above),  or Penny’s (see below).

The SexyMandarin team wants to know your feedback!  It could make the difference in which design is printed!

Vanessa

I modeled this shirt but I they are not sure if they will make it.

Comment on this post and let me know if you would buy this shirt..

It was designed by Dragon & Yan, I think it is so funny!

Vanessa

I love Yan.  Seeing how hard she works pushes me.

She is always pushing for the next level.

Never settling and always improving.

Talking to her makes me realize when I have settled and fight the urge to be complacent.

I will keep pushing!

What do you all think of my old haircut?  I have been thinking about bringing back the bangs after this shoot is done.  Or maybe I will try a different hair style… any suggestions?

Class Is In 

SessionI am at the beach today, despite the weather.  So I am teaching a quick Mandarin lesson.

I would love to teach you more quotes in a private lesson.

Crowd Control

Hailan had organized this shoot for me and I never shared the photos from this set.  So much going on in this shot… What do you think?

Vanessa

What is your favorite photo from my latest photo shoot?

I feel it is simple & Complex all rolled into one.

I am so thankful that I work with so many creative talented people!

Tina sent this picture to me of everyone (except her) at Mike’s going away dinner.  I work with Mike often in the Hong Kong SexyMandarin office.  He has been a great boss and an even better friend.  I remember once he saw I was getting frustrated and sat me down to see what was the issue.  He took the time to make sure I was heard and I will always remember that.

Long Ago

The expression “time flies when your having fun” come to mind when I see this picture.  I took this photo before I started working for SexyMandarin and it stands out as a marker in my life.  It was only a few days after this that I started working as a teacher at the site.  I have loved the journey, the people, and look forward to more.
