1/14/2009 My 2009--super good!!!
to be continue...... 5/25/2008 16th. May--NOT ALWAYS UP TO MEI hate this stupid space somethimes!!! Cos you cant change the day when you wanna write whats not happening today! ooh, maybe I dont know how. ANYWAY,16th. May, we went to Fridays for their birthday! I got really drunk that night! I had a decision that day what was a big deal for me. I did trust myself, try my best to do what I want. Until now, I understood that the things aint always up to you! Responsibilyty is not what you SHOULD do, its what you HAVE TO do! Life should be, you like what you have, its not you gonna have what all you like! Sometimes you have to think about other people, and you should do something for who care about you! Besides black and white, there are some kinds of gray on the world! Im still be here as a light gray!4/11/2008 Espressoooooo XDI've already could make espresso by the new coffee machine! Sorry for giving you guys belated news!
Renting an apartment, summer cocktails, toilet, television, employees... too many craps! and I dont wanna talk it indeed anymore even!!!
I went to C'est la vie on Monday, where made me surprised wasnt as good as before! The cheese sandwich was shit!!!! and the baguette should be called BRICK!!! Salty dog should be called PURE grapefruit juice!!! Blue Hawaii has no pineapple juice even!!!! I thought I got bit drunk that night, spent too much money for beer xXx...
I didnt know how to get home, just got hangover next morning....
' I've never drunk alcohol anymore!' Every time when I got drunk, then woke up next morning what I said...
3/22/2008 W.C.&Na have driven me mad =SIm gonna have a new coffee machine on MONDAY XD!!!!!
But I even dont know what is like! Whatever, I dont really care, at least its a real MACHINE! Then I need to buy some stuff, such as espresso cups, middle coffee cups, a pitcher for making painting on coffee....
Ooh, the another good news, we're gonna build our own bathroom. Im excited about this, cos I saw some discussion on the Expats. That is ' NO TOILET, NO WAY!!!' The man who I think I remember him has been here. He ordered hot Mocha, and then went to the bathroom. Coincident!!! where was booked up for a big while!!! I understood why he said that he wouldnt come again probablely!!!
My friend, oh, I should call her kid =S Na was trying to kill me, same problem this time--her what is so call ex-boyfriend. ooh, sorry he is called an biggest asshole who I have seen ever... Na call me more than 6, 7 times each day since the thing happening! How horrible... but the worse thing was she didnt get anyone's advice, just found a lot of reasons which were not called reasons for his stupid act!!! I thought noone can help her as time went by... The key is what she wanna be, not what she should be! So now, I've decided ' SHUT UP' , I need to turn off sometime, I really need!!! His a tiny message would break down all what we talked !!! Actually I was disappointed and frustrated... anyway whatever how she choose, she is absolutely my friend ever forever !
3/14/2008 Male or Female ?!My friend just sent a interesting email to me, sharing it with all the women I care about...and to any men who appreciate a good laugh!
Male or Female? You might not have known this, but a lot of non -l iving objects are actually either male or female. Here are some examples: FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them. PHOTOCOPIERS: These are female, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again. They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can also wreak havoc if you push the wrong Buttons.. TYRES: Tyres are male, because they go bald easily and are often over inflated. HOT AIR BALLOONS: Also a male object, because to get them to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under their butt. SPONGES: These are female, because they are soft, squeezable and retain water. WEB PAGES: Female, because they're constantly being looked at and frequently getting hit on. TRAINS: Definitely male, because they always use the same old lines for picking up people. EGG TIMERS: Egg timers are female because, over time, all the weight shifts to the bottom. HAMMERS: Male, because in the last 5000 years, they've hardly changed at all, and are occasionally handy to have around. THE REMOTE CONTROL: Female. Ha! You probably thought it would be male, but consider this: It easily gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know which buttons to push, he just keeps trying. 3/13/2008 Corruptting, is that easy!Thats what I said meant some people change their personality for someone or some reasons. But usually the reasons what let them change are not big deals! I met this kind of case a couple time, unfortunately all of them are my friends, ok, some of them WERE my friends, shame!!!
One night, some bar, one of my friend told me that she didnt really care her fiance, the reason why they're gonna be merried was he loves her so so so much!-----About 3 months later, I went to there with someone and met her in the corner. She was crying for her and her fiance breaking up for some reason!!! 'Excuse me, would u mind think about what you said to me last time??' its nefandous, so I did not say, just thought. Then I said that forget him, he's crap and something, something... but it didnt work! until now when we talked about him, she still cried. After that I knew she pay a lot for him, I meant love! See, see, since that time I understood do what you've said and say what you can do, its impossible!!! She changed a lot now! and generally this kind of things happen to same person. For her, its twice now...
At the begining, someone think they can do it, when its happening, they realise they cannot in the end! So in the fact of truth, things are not always going along your mind! TAKE EASY, friends! 3/12/2008 Im back with my cafe !I havent written here in ages ages ages.... Finally Im back =)
I've been pretty busy from 9 months ago arround YUMMY CAFE--Our own cafe is opened by me and Ivan(my friend from middle-school) !
The place is not big, just for 20 persons one time, max. There are interesting decoratives and the best green tea frappuccion(at least its better than starbucks one). At night, here is like kinda bar, cos you'll see a bar and some bar chairs when you get in. Of course we do sell cocktails and shots... I just made a cocktail last night, its called Absolut Apeach Surrender 俯首称桃 !!! Sooooo tasty XD Our Kongpao chicken pizza which is rectangular is popular here...
ooh, also I make desserts by myself, such as cheese cake, mousse, tiramisu... needless to say, tiramisu and cheese are the best in Tianjin (Im comfident), by the way you can get 20% off on tea time =P
About me, of course I wont give up my part-time, as a tour guide! I think I've learned a lot, and changed a lot from my new 'job'. People have to be smarter after all! But most time is snobbish to make you tired... sometimes we need be childlike! Someone who gave me the 'new name' said that if you follow your feeling maybe its a mistake, but it is a mistake if you ignore your feeling!! I still keep trying to be who has '5P', thats Product, Price, Package, Promotion, Positoining 个人素养，身份地位，外表风格，谈吐社交，人生选择! Its my goal!

12/10/2006 AttitudeThe longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It's more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say, or do.
It's more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It'll make or break a company, a church, a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
We can't change our past and fact that people will act in a certain way. We can't change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
I'm convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it's with u. We're in charge of our attitudes. 11/29/2006 Consider...YOUIn all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like u. U are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. U're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a trillion... U are the only one like u in a sea of infinity!!!
U're amazing! U're awesome! And by the way, TAG, u're it. As amazing and awesome as u already are, u can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But u don't become 'beautiful' just by virtue of the aging process.
Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. U can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to u. Or u can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. U are the artist that paints ur future with the brush of today.
Paint a Masterpiece.
God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest. Wherever u want to go, whatever u want to do, it's truly up to u. 11/24/2006 The world's favorite gameI've loved a classic game--Scrabble. Actually it's be so famous in others countries, but China. It ascends 1931 and was made by an American engineer--Fred. Since then, 100 million sets have been sold in 121 countries and was translated 30 editions of different languages. Whoever you are, it will be suitable for you.
Now let me introduce it. As you may already know, is to form words with letter tiles in order to score the most points by the end of the game. Players take turns to put down the letters on the board and write down the scores gained in each move.
Getting ready
In principle, all words are allowed albeit with some exceptions such as: capitalised words, abbreviations, prefixes/suffixes, or words requiring a punctuation mark.
Place all tiles in the pouch and mix them up. Each player then draws a letter from the bag to decide the order of play. The one with the letters closest to 'A' (or a blank tile) will start the game. Return those letters to pool and reshuffle. Each player again draws seven new tiles and places them on their rack, with the letters facing them so that others can't peek.
How to play and score
The number of points earned in a single move depends on the letters used and the positions on the board it has to be used for the same letter for the rest of the game.
How to win?
The game ends when all letters have been drawn from the bag and one player uses up all ur tiles or nobody can make any more words.
If u has used up all tiles the sum of the other player's remaining tiles is to be added to ur score. The player with the highest final score wins the game. 10/4/2006 Art of losingSome days ago I saw a movie--IN HER SHOES. It likes a family movie and there is a poem about 'losing'.
Art of losing
--Elizabeth Bishop
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
So many things seem filled with the intent to be last that their loss
is no disaster.
Lose something every day.
Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant to travel.
None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother's watch.
And look! My last or next-to-last, of these loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones and vaster, some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't disaster.
--Even losing you( the joking voice, a gesture I love) I shan't have lied.
It's evident the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster. 9/28/2006 ''Busy for living, or busy for death''Tonight I saw a movie again--《The Shawshank Redemption》. Two or three years ago I saw it first time! It's absolut the one of the best movies. The story is about faith, freedom, hope. Shawshank looks like a person, but it's not. It's the name of prison. Andy is a banker who is condemned Lifetime Durance for killing his wife and her lover. As a matter of fact, he is sinless! Just bad time and bad luck. Before Andy was be here, the prisoners'd given up their original dreams and freedom of thinking. Andy's arrival changed this, he applied for rebuilding the library, helped some prisoners to take high school diploma, let them know what is freedom, what is hope... 'There where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don't forget. Forget that there're places in the world that ain't made out of stone. There's something inside, that they can't get to, that they can't touch. That's yours!' When Andy played Mozart's Le Nozze Di Figaro, they're not familiar with it, but it sounded beautiful. All the prisoners standed quietly enjoying the feeling of freedom. Just like he once asked for beers for his friend. He just wanted to get a feeling of freedom for his friends. 'We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like free men. Hell, we liked repairing the roof of one of our own houses. We were the Lords of all creations. As for Andy--a strange little smile on his face, watching us drink his beers...' An old prisoner spent almost all life in the Shawshank--50 years. After he was paroled, facing this new world, he found he was only an old man without anything. Every dawn he waked up with a start from fear. As a reason, he suicided himself as it's the only thing he could do by himself, just left one line on the beam-- 'Brooks was here'. Maybe he's afraid he would be forgotten. Actually the Shawshank didn't deprive his freedom, but courage of accepting his own worth! Red said: 'These walls here are kinds of funny. At the beginning, you hate them, then you will get used to them. As time passes, you will depend on them. That's institutionalizing. Hope is a dangerous thing. Drive a man insane. Nothing will take place here. You’d better get used to the idea.' when he went out of the Shawshank, he also lived in the fear. Red loved freedom too, but he couldn't realize the value. Andy as the symbol of the hope lived in the prison for 20 years. He remained his dream all the time and looked forward to getting freedom. The real reason was his profound thought about hope. In his opinion, hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing, and no good things ever die. Fear holds you prinsoner, hope sets you free. I think he likes a modern Jesus. 'A strong man save himself, a great man save another.' Following this mind, the life in prison for 20 years did not made Andy give up the hope, but made him comprehend the meaning of the life. In fact, hope is a mood without ambition but it really exists.'Some brids ain't meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright. When they fly away, you would know it's a sin to lock them up does rejoice! Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend...'
The sky, the sea and the beach compose a romantic picture. When Andy and Red, two weather-beaten friends, saw each other again in the island, all hardship of 20 years made Andy tougher and their friendship get harder as the same. 8/27/2006 What do you ever think, puppies?I always consider a question ---- What do puppies think ? Although dogs and human are being in the same celestial body, our mind ain't same.
In my block, there are so many pets. Of course I like them, and I prefer guessing their ideas. You can find that these guys can crouch on the ground and gaze at somewhere or somebody for a long time, maybe over half an hour ( It's the longest time I have ever measure ) . Sometimes their head put on the ground too, in a few time suddenly look up, like, like searching something. At first I think that guy is a psycho, and then I saw the reason why they can hear something is their ears are more sensitive than us. So they can really hear something what I cannot.
I started feed a puppy when I was little, since then I breed no little dogs. Ever than, I don't just see. But through my investigation and inspection for long. Finally I see a little, there are so many questions in their mind, but the most key idea is -- What do you ever think, my lord? One more is -- What do you wanna get, human being? ......
Actually, it's the essential difference that dogs only mind their own business, but we mind others. I mean that we mostly envy others' success or mock others' misplay. That's why we're so tired most time. I think dogs are absolute more happy than us. It's a folksay that -- More easier, more enjoy. If you wanna enjoy your life, please make it easier !

After their Test, another teacher from TIS will teach Paul for two hours once a day, so I just teach Ann from their beginning of school class. I promised that I will buy two gifts for them if they can pass their TIS test. But yesterday I bought and gave gifts in advance, because I believe they will pass finally.
On the other hand, my friend is gonna go to Harbin for a job in this week. Actually it is a interview, if he can pass, he will become a English teacher. Earning and accomondation is offered quality. I call this opportunity! I wonder that this guy wanted to come back his country as soon as his subject will be finished originally, but now it looks as if he wanna stay in China long. He laughed and told me that he has been changed by his experiences, and I guess one of reasons is Chinese girls, hehe... poor guy. Anyway, I hope he can find his girl in China, not always Chinese, maybe other countries. Haha... 8/1/2006 Go up!The test is close and close, suddenly I feel difficulty in giving up. As a matter of fact, I like this two buddies. I don't know why, for I've never liked kids. I think that we've made friends in this occasion.

Now the next goal is Certificate of Tour Leader! This is for life, the other is for living... 7/10/2006 Finality 2006 World Cup has been over. I can tight sleep finally.
The final round is: Italy won and got the Cup, the symbol of Golry. At that time the fans is the most blest and excited, I think it's the best return for their cheer and sustentation.
Actually I'm not a crazy fan, but I love World Cup, love player's effort, fan's obstinacy, commentator's reins...
The only regret is what my favorit Holland was washed out！
After undergoing many insomnia night, I'm in fugue every day. But it's also beatific, this game is held once four years. So be excruciating is worthy even！ Anyway, the game is so excruciating！
Looking forward to 2010 World Cup South Africa... 6/4/2006 The rules of lifeThese rules are for high school and college graduates about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school.
5/20/2006 Visiting in the rainToday I woke up at 4:45am, ate a sandwich and an apple, drank some coffee, and then departed from home to appointed place, for leading a group to The Summer Palace of Beijing. A total of 6 coachs, about 260 persons, and I was a guide among them. Actually Jimi was also in it, thirth coach, I was fourth coach. We set out about 7:00am. On the way the tourists on my coach were singing until we arrived at the park of the new gate, and the situation went from bad to worse. Because our go-off was late, and we spent about 50 minutes to wait a number of absurd hats... but the bottom line was--that's not all!! Ignorant two so-called leaders made me headache. I thought that I am a freshman, but it looks as if somebody are worse than me, uh, yes, now I'm sure! When we have finished our trip and arrived at Tianjin yet, Jimi's wallet was lost. Terrible! We were searching for everywhere as possible as we could. But nothing. So each of us would go home, on the way I received a call from Jimi, she told me that one guy of her tourists picked up her wallet and according to her card to called her. Amazing! Anyway, today we have taken money what we deserved, learned what we should learn, toured what we should visit...that's enough, isn't right?! Oh, by the way, a 'good' guide of two leader read the name of pavilian where at the end of the 17-Arch Bridge, 'Dunruting', 'Dun' is wrong, in fact this character is called 'Kuo', means shape of something...it's funny! 5/19/2006 Letting GoTo let go doesn't mean to stop caring. It means I can't do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off. It's the realisation that I can't control another.
To let go is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences.
To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not to try to change or blame another. I can only change myself.
To let go is not to care for, but to care about.
To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be protective, it is to permit another to face reality.
To let go is not to deny, but to accept.
To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes.
To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future.
To let go is to fear less and love more... 5/17/2006 Love is a force of natureIt was a friendship
That became a secret
There are places we can't return
There are lies we have to tell
There are truths we can't deny
 Yesterday I watched the Movie--Brokeback Mountain, so touch. And then I read the original fiction which is written by Annie Proulx, Directed by Ang Lee who is the best director on Oscar 2006 , when 3/4 of article I couldn't help me in tears until ending. It's a love movie, not only gay cowboys.
There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to believe, but nothing could be done about it, and if you can't fix it you've got to stand it.
"Time to hit the hay, cowboy. I got a go. Come on, you're sleepin on your feet like a horse,"
Ennis said and gave Jack a shake, a push, and went off in the darkness. Jack heard his spurs tremble as he mounted, the words "see you in the morning," and the horse's shuddering snort, grind of hoof on stone.......
His dirty shirt, the pocket ripped, buttons missing, stolen by Jack and hidden here inside Jack's own shirt, the pair like two skins, one inside the other, two in one. He pressed his face into the fabric and breathed in slowly through his mouth and nose, hoping for the faintest smoke and mountain sage and salty sweet stink of Jack but there was no real scent, only the memory of it, the imagined power of Brokeback Mountain of which nothing was left but what he held in his hands.
This moment, he have realized that how Jack loves him, how he loves Jack himself...it's late! At last I thought that Jack's parents have accepted their love...
'Jack, I swear...'
 A Love That Will Never Grow Old
Go to sleep, may your sweet dreams come true Just lay back in my arms for one more night I've this crazy old notion that calls me sometimes Saying this one's the love of our lives. *Cause I know a love that will never grow old And I know a love that will never grow old.* When you wake up the world may have changed But trust in me eye, I'll never falter or fail Just the smile in your eyes, it can light up the night, And your laughter's like wind in my sails. * Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time, Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long. Who cares where we go on this rutted old road In a world that may say that we're wrong. * 5/13/2006 Weak！12th Schedule 12:30pm－－Went to study with John & Jimi. 2:00pm－－Searched for bookstore to buy some English dictionaries, but it's failed. 3:00pm－－Went to my friend's store and bought a bag as gift for my Mom, for Mother's Day is Sunday this week. 4:00pm－－Inside a cafe of Jimi's university. 7:00pm－－In the Chinese Classical Literary Academe, we were waiting for a Literary Cathedra. Actually I thought the so-called Chair was too bored to keep clear-headed. 8:00pm－－My MP was ringing...a 20'' conversation, a infant was gone!!! Her Mom and Dad are gonna come here by the earliest airplane. 10:15pm－－At home, my family knew the bad news. There was a weighty mood... 13th 00:15am－－I called G, comfort mostly...... Honey, you will be resting in Paradise well! We love you forever!!! A Lament
O world! O life! O time!
On whose last steps I climb.
Trembling at that where I has stood before;
When will return the glory of your prime?
No more--Oh, never more!
Out of the day and night
A joy has taken flight;
Fresh spring, and summer, and winter hoar,
Move my faint heart with grief, but with delight
No more--Oh, never more!
关于时间，前人也许说错了：他们以为只有快乐的是光才会过得特别快。或许在很多情形之下是正确的，然而有时候，无聊的日子也过的不慢。
这不，不知不觉间，一天过去了，一星期过去了，一个月过去了……
日子固然无聊，生活总得继续。当星光满天，当晚风撩动窗帘，心底还是会满怀感激。 5/10/2006 FrappuccinoA cup of coffee is just a drink. But a frappuccino is an experience.
Founded in Seattle in 1971, Starbucks Corp. now has 11,000 outlets in 37 countries, including 500 in Tokyo. There is a Starbucks's in Beijing's Forbidden City, and the round green logo adorns the streets of Edinburgh and the boulevards of Paris. Even in Britain _ a stalwart bastion of tea drinking where there are now almost 500 Starbucks stores _ the chain has become entrenched in daily life. There's a deep sense of unpredictability in the modern world, and what Starbucks provides a lot of people is predictability. However, there are regional variations. Starbucks introduced green tea frappuccinos in Taiwan and Singapore in 2001. They proved so popular, they're now on the U.S. menu.
咖啡成就圣人
僧侣欧玛尔因罪行被放逐到衣索比亚的“KAFFA”洲，饥寒交迫的途中，它偶然发现小鸟吃了某种红色果子后，兴奋异常，他就将这种果子摘下煎煮充饥，发现吃了这种果子后精力充沛、心情愉悦，与是他把这种果子摘分给当地的饥民，所有人吃了之后都觉得神清气爽。因为这种果子是生长在衣索比亚的“KAFFA”洲，就把它命名为“COFFEE” 此后，人们又发现这种果子据有提神的药用价值，而且颇受医师的好评，欧玛尔因为发现这种果子，并将它广为推广，而被当地人当作圣人拥戴。 战争留下“拿铁” 在土耳其大军第二次进攻维也纳失败后，军队退却时，在城外丢下了大批军需物资，其中就有500袋咖啡豆，于是被穆斯林世界控制了几个世纪的咖啡豆就这样轻易地到了维也纳人的手上。因为突围求救而立了大功的维也纳人柯奇基，知道咖啡是一种神奇的饮料，于是就请求将这500袋咖啡豆做为求救立功的奖赏，他用这些豆子在维也纳开了第一家咖啡馆—蓝瓶子。 他煮的咖啡与平常不一样，他滤掉咖啡渣子，加入大量的牛奶，这就是后来常见的“拿铁”原形。 5/7/2006 24 Solar Term
