I Am Fu

I've never had many nicknames, but my mother always calls me Sarita (meaning "little Sara" in Spanish). When I was little, other variations came about: Saritonga and Sarifu. At some point, one of my family members started calling me "Sari la Fu" (Sara the Fu) or just "la Fu," and I took it as my first email address (sarilafu@yahoo.com). It was just a silly name--until now; my mom sent me the following email from China:

En chino el simbolo que significa felicidad y buena suerte se llama FU! Como Sarita FU! TQ
Mama

Translation:
"In Chinese, the symbol meaning happiness and good luck is called FU! Like Sarita FU!"

It was meant to be--written in the stars, or, rather, in Chinese ;].
