Must love dogs.

I never wanted to see that movie. I have never been a love story fan because I think they are so fake.

For some reason, the DVD kept haunting me down and one lost day in blockbuster, I picked it just for Diane Lane. Diane Lane once again did a great job. She has always been very natural and present such a great mature and still had-it woman.

The story actually had something new to it too. It talks about the dating life based on Internet dating life. It is such a chaos out there. It makes me think that really need to appreciate connection in our life.

Sitting in the office doing things that doesn't involve anybody is not fun, not for my personality.

Spending too much time with some people make me feel endangered. I decided to pamper myself to work from home today.

I like it because for one, I certainly think clearly and I have my goals ahead of me. for two, I can write my blogs anytime I want.

New resolution in my life:

1. Be decisive to do things what guts feel like doing as long as it doesn't hurt anyone;

2. Set up timeline for all things considered;

3. Do anything, anything that is doable at that time to prevent myself from fearing for future.

4. Plan well.

Linda

I like Wang Faye and her songs.

I like her for her strength to be herself and be bold of what she likes to do. She never smiles and pleases the audience during performance. She is there to do her own thing.

She married for love for the first time and got hurt. She still goes on to be herself and dated younger guys (I mean a lot younger) regardless of what society may say. She sings about love stories in a very practical ways, love, heart-broken, calm and love. She has never been naïve to believe romance conquers all. She still pursues what she wants—to be respected and cared.

After all, romance is not all her things. She has been doing things women should do, get married, having a baby, having a successful career, having friends…She has been so practical and mature.

Although I am not pursing the same life style of hers, but I do appreciate her view of life. Calm.

The art of communication and the power of appraisal

How many of us are sure that our parents are proud of us? Well, I am not a lucky one in this regard. 

I actually can put together some okay records about myself. I have always been the top 5 from day one in school. I got into top 10 colleges in the whole country. I started to win singing contests, math contests since I was 11 years old. I went on to work in Hong Kong and was made supervisor, manager since I was 24…

Even funnier, just because of my Mom’s one rolling eye-ball when she said to me only 2 percent can pass bar exam every year and usually people had to try 4-5 times before they could pass, and I said I might try, I passed at the first attempt in 2 years of self-taught. … 

I still got no positive comment from my Mom. So I continued to seek for her approval or pride in me by getting my MBA and computer technology degree…still nothing so far.

As much as I wished to be encouraged and valued, I realized that the best gift to a loved one is not really expensive present, instead, it should be stronger self-confidence. We should be generous to tell them about their talents, their kindness, how great they are….After all, believe-in-thyself sometimes is the only thing for ones’ dream to come true.

Depends on how expressive we are to encourage our close ones, sometimes appraisal can be optional. Yet, when we can express our appreciation toward others in front of our loves ones, we can’t forget telling the worth of the audience. Otherwise, the implication can be they are great because they are distant. So what do we want as the consequence?

If we want our worth to be seen and appreciated, let’s start from expressing our appreciation, and don’t forget ones who are close to you already.


 

“Once upon a time, a door opened and two worlds collided. Dreams clashed with reality. The mundane mixed with the marvelous. It was no longer possible to tell where one world began and the other ended. This new place was called La Nouba.”

I thought I have seen all wonders in the world. I went along with my friends just to get away. “Yeah, those kind of people who walk in the sky, who fly from one corner of the stage to another…I grew up with them. “ I think to myself.

Yet, when the show started with funny jokes, I know I am going to have fun. Then the show went along. The unique part of this is that it not only shows the wonderful skills of those people, it reveals the beauty of human bodies.

More to it is that after hanging out with crowd who admires wealth, having fun…, I almost forgot the necessity of hard work. Dumb-founded by the accuracy of the conducts, I can’t help wondering what else we have forgotten.

All in all, it is such great inspiration!
