Fire-and-ice

We finally completed the Merengue and Bachata choreography Phandeluys and her partner had set us learning … a beautifully energetic and exotically sensual pattern when danced correctly, which was why they had us drill the basics time and again. They are hard taskmasters yet the individual and class results speak for themselves … A confident and deeply loved woman is a beautiful specimen …

Last night, my friend seemed to have been on a time and plane of inner and outer equanimity … there is this “breathing space” around her that neither I nor other students can penetrate … It is as if time—no, not time but Phandeluys herself—stopped and took stock of herself without feeling completely caught up in the usual turmoil and rush of events around us … she seemed more able to understand other people’s needs—and that is saying a lot given how my friend is deeply intuitive and naturally responsive to the people around her—without losing sight of her own desires for fulfillment. I sensed her strong desire to “be out in the world” and having as much contact with others as possible … that yearning for freedom unrestricted by her partner is there on the surface, even though I can feel her sense of obligation, internal as it is.

Nevertheless, my friend seemed to derive quite a bit of satisfaction from doing things well, and I suspect that kind of satisfaction is what always imbues her eyes with that sparkle of happiness and conscious living behind her gently yet consistently serious demeanor.

I am excited about classes tonight: A couple of students requested Tango and Samba but Phandeluys and her partner are uncommitted; they each have said that they do not formulate their class lessons or choreography methodically but through inspiration via their six senses in combination with their expertise, training, and experience in every aspects of their lives while “managing its fire-and-ice contrasts” …

Stay tune, and until next post, 

We dream | We believe | And we will succeed 

About this blog 

Excepting this introduction and what are—and will be—posted after March 2015, this blog mirrored a now out-of-commission blog, http://ya-chang-lin.blogspot.com, which was taken down on October 21, 2013 by its author Phandeluys Truong. 

The author's original contents and supporting documents were captured by multiple means from the above-mentioned blog while it was alive and active. There may have been a glitch here and there that prevented me from downloading the complete blog as it had existed. Thus, readers familiar with the original blog may find a few missing posts and/or comments. Those postings that I was able to grab and preserve in their entirety are reposted here under my name, however, all rights remain that of the original author. 

This series of posts documents the fraudulent, sometimes criminal, and frequent unethical/immoral activities of Ya-Chang Robert Lin, a Taiwanese native of mainland Chinese parentage, who defrauded a naturalized US citizen, Phandeluys Truong, into a marriage that had been his shield against USCIS for his intentional violations of immigration law: 

as a nonimmigrant F-1 student, he had willfully operated an international students recruiting business without prior work authorization from the then United States Immigration and Naturalization Service; 

as President of said business, he had knowingly helped both mainland Chinese and Taiwanese students to evade military drafts in their countries by facilitating their applications to study in the US and abroad; 

as President of said business, he had knowingly helped both mainland Chinese and Taiwanese students looking to enter the United States with the intention of gaining permanent US resident status under the pretense of studying; 

as President of said business, he had purposely evaded paying taxes on the commissions received from it and failed to report the earned income to the IRS by having the payments wired back to Taiwan to his mother Chang Hsueh; 

he had applied for reinstatement of his F-1 or student status and a change of status, while knowingly withheld the preceding facts on his own applications for permanent resident and citizenship in the United States. 

And those are just the tip of the iceberg. Ya-Chang Robert Lin had been employed at AAFES or The Exchange headquarter in Dallas, Texas as an information technology auditor, where he managed to steal—by downloading to CDs that he kept in his personal possession while abiding for time and opportunities to "do business" in Taiwan and/or China—thousands of his colleagues’ Social Security numbers and personnel files while working on one of its HR projects. The HR data on one of these projects became the basis for an academic paper, speaking proposal for ISACA, and a consulting business he was "collaborating with " [more like conning other people into developing and fronting for him]. 

Ya-Chang Robert Lin is a reprobate with a seared conscience. Lacking normal capacity for empathy, remorse, and reciprocation of good will, he is addicted to lying, cheating, and stealing for the pure pleasures derived from being able to get away with it. Because he is such a good liar—so charming and well versed in manipulation techniques and acting skills—it is hard to distinguish him from reprobates. 

Ya-Chang Robert Lin was able to dupe some of the smart people in federal government [, higher education, and information technology auditing and security. Among his legacy: A son who refused any connection with him and wished that he were dead.
