My name is Fanny. I live loving and being loved by my full-of-life husband – we have a fun journey! We love life and see it as a gift from God to be enjoyed, rather than a problem to be solved.

I always believe that it’s better for me to write than to talk, so I learn to blog.

Blogging, I learn more than just writing. I learn to be honest with myself and courageously jot down my ups and downs. At first, I was a bit lost in an identity crisis for my dearly-beloved blog… I was clueless of what kind of identity should I give this blog of mine… I tried personal narrative: naaaah! I tried inspirational writing: hmm, not really… I tried photography: There is hope! 😀 … After a while, I found the love in poetry in my writing class – thanks to my creative students!

So, I ordained this blog as the blog for poetry and photography… TA-DA! 😀

My friends know that I love plain steamed rice more than any other food, especially when it’s served hot – newly cooked. I love steamed rice because it’s simply plain, that’s all.

I guess from that simple philosophy you can bet that I love everything simple and plain. Yep, that’s right! But with character and attitude 😉

At first I named this blog Plain Steamed Rice, but decided to change it to Poems by Fanny to make it easier for people to find it. So, enjoy the poems and the pictures ❤
