Home is where the heart is.

Express check-out

2010-08-06T19:33:00.005+04:00

Haven't been written anything for quite sometimes, have been so busy. Busy work is better than no work.

Recently had several business trips and stayed in several different hotels.

The express check-out system gives me a deep impression. There's no need to queue up

long, just fill in the form and drop into the box hotel has prepared.

The problem is the actual amount that has been charged is greater than the amount I booked shown on the webside. Knowing the amount has been deducted as I went through the online credit card statement but without a detail billing statement, just US$400 some US dollars got deducted.

I already sent email to the hotel asking for an invoice.

If the hotel just deduct and even more than the figure that was expected to everyone, will people satisfy and choose to stay again?

Motivation

2010-06-29T18:30:00.003+04:00

Heard a friend saying, the very first thing comes into his head is the motivation when anyone talked to him.
He would begin to assume many things in his head.

I don't know if it's a good thing to give assumption toward someone, because meditation taught us not to assume when issue has not arrived not.

He must be a smart person so that his brain could function very fast to assume during conversation. I can't do it.
When someone talks to me, all I could is to listen with concentration.
I will make sure the speaker finishes all his lines. It won't be so nice if I assume and conclude wrong thinking by just taking part of the lines.

Meditation taught us to accept, face, process, and put down, while we should not suppose or assume first.

For someone who is not smart like me, still I can't learn how to think and assume by first talking.

A good medicine tastes bitter.

This water reflection photo was captured in a golf court corner. A very small corner but I think it looks gorgeous when my car was about to pass by.

I love the reflected landscape. When I was a kid, my grandmom often told me that we are reflected by others.

People always like to hear nice words, meanwhile refuse to listen to the words pointing out their shortcomings. Moreover, some people refuse to confess their shortcomings.

I like to give compliments to people. Those are not sweet words, but to those merits that are obviously seen and need to be encouraged. I think everyone has flaw as well as distinct strength.

Not many people prefer to give compliments. Some people think giving compliments would reflect their own inadequacy. Some people jealous the strength they lack. I believe people will get improved and a step closer to the better goal when they hear compliments.

One of my team members always made mistake on whatever she did since she always made the fastest move and always wanted to be the first one who finished the task. It happened to be the outcome has bad result more often the the good result. When everyone got upset on her, I told her that her ability always reached out the fastest, somehow should leave the chance for others sometimes. She only listened to the part where she did fast job, thus she happily saves the chance for others to be the first doer. After she slows down her speed, the jobs assigned to her all went right.

Seeing others well signal ourselves.

Salmon roe

2010-06-07T11:16:00.010+04:00

Different ikura put on small pancakes.

Salmon roe, large reddish-orange individual spheres.

Sushi is rapped by ikura.

Took lots of seafoods recently, I like seafood. Salmon is the fish that I often eat, which is good for healthy due to the fish's high protein, high Omega-3 fatty acids, and high vitamin D content. Salmon is also a source of cholesterol, with a range of 23–214 mg/100g depending on the species full of protein and omega-3.

I like to eat ikura with rice, otherwise it would be too salty for me.

Enterprise's physiognomy

2010-06-01T11:31:00.008+04:00

Although there's an old saying, "You cannot judge a book by its cover"; however, when companies interview, inevitably they take by appearance. Not necessarily to look for attractive men and women, at least they want to find someone pleases their eyes and looks lucky. Thus, physiognomy gradually becomes a way during companies' employee elections.

Nowadays enterprises can get to know more about employees by getting professional in physiognomy.

Heard a successful business man said he used to interview a very nice attitude person. The interviewee always looks straight into people's eyes. However, when the interviewer walked away and turned back in a sudden, the interviewee's eyes were exploring around. Such action shows the interviewee is a double face person, who complies in public but will oppose in private, and such person can't be relied and trust.

Many tiny actions shows the real person, which no way can pretend and hide.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers

2010-05-09T19:49:00.002+04:00

Today's Mother's Day. Two weeks ago I dreamed about my mother. In my dream, I complained her a little why she doesn't come back home, then I saw her back home with a not so old looking. At that moment, I missed her so much, I hugged her and then I cried. Rarely I remember my dream, but I've been remembering this dream till now.

Wish all the mothers happy and healthy. Wish all the mothers love themselves a bit more.

Friendship doesn't mean only with gift they are friend.

2010-05-06T17:42:00.005+04:00

There are many types of friends. Some friendships are based on the compliments we give to them, who only listen to compliments.

Some friendships are based on when they are lonely, and they talk to you. Such people love to make friends, their phones are 24-hours on, their website, email, gtalk, msn, skype are shown everywhere.

He is neither a salesman nor marketer.

Some friends cannot accept better friends to be around.

Some friends have more opposite sex friends they communicate to.

Some friends rarely thank people, they just tell others what skills they have, even males said they can make noodles and do handicrafts. In their eyes, they can do everything women can do except getting pregnant for 9 months.

I have a friend S who I've known for many years. Starting from solar energy turbine and green energy.

He never showed off about his expertise, he was never moody, whenever I have

solar energy knowledge to consult with him, he is always there. He shares his own happiness and unhappiness.

At same time, he concerns about my family and I. Even though we don't talk through gtalk nor msn as he's a senior manager who has many busy projects, and I also have many business trips, everyday we say good morning and good night to each other.

The privity and tacit understanding between us show when I disappeared from good night greeting. He guessed that I was away in Europe and flights stopped. I really appreciate this friend S. Having the friend with such care, without extra sweet words, without competing purpose for benefits, is really great.

Friends don't mean the more the better.

Friendship doesn't mean only with gift they are friend.

I like to express my appreciation toward this friend S.

Even Homer sometimes nods!

2010-04-09T17:28:00.002+04:00

Before we do something, it's good to consider well, but thinking too much while all were own assumption could annoy other people.

Recently someone told me, he is a hesitating person. I wonder with such personality, how could he work efficiently without wasting time. Even Homer sometimes nods! He could have done the trip twenty times or more. He should know every inch of the road. It would hardly believe it, but he took a wrong turn and lost himself.
Today I captured this mango pudding. Once I really fond of mango and pudding, in the past a friend gave me lots of mangoes in that year. I couldn't finish all mangoes, so I made mangoes into various forms...mango juice, mango tart, mango pudding, mango salad, mango cake, and I gave away to friends. I had so many mangoes that year, and since then I don't feel that much exciting when I see mangoes. Another way to eat mango is to eat when it's still green. The hard green mango seems to have lots of fibers, besides it's not that sweet. I like unsweetened fruit, which would not make me fat.

Say good words, do good things.

2010-03-16T14:30:00.004+04:00

Best wishes to the one who was borned today, my dearest.

Bring our happiest moment to others, say good words, do good things, then we will not feel and perplex by many entanglements in this world.

Some people go to church, some people go to temple, these places are for ourselves improvements, but people still even argue when they gather. If everybody could see the good points of another, encourage the merits of another, while not only focus on what others have harmed us, don't put ourselves in the first place, we will be happier and the places around us will be more beautiful.

LPGA 2010 Thailand

2010-02-24T14:45:00.006+04:00

LPGA kicks off 2010 season opening Honda-PTT LPGA tournament at the Siam Country Club in Chonburi.

Thailand by the world's best lady professional golfers.
LPGA tour has made Thailand debut. Thailand has welcomed the LPGA in a big way, local media interviewed golfers at the airport, and billboards lined those Pattaya streets.

Together with my family and friends, I also went to watch this big event.

Out of 4 days, we stayed in 3 different hotels, Royal Cliff Beach Resort, Centara Mirage Beach Resort, and Sheraton Pattaya, due to their full occupancy.

Golf is my favorite sport because I could see big field covered by green grasses and trees, where doesn't limit myself in a narrow noisy space.

Japan’s professional golfer Ai Miyazato has produced a whirlwind finish to win this Honda PTT LPGA Thailand event, the first one of the LPGA season. Ai Miyazato is now 24 years old and secured her a one shot victory over long time leader Suzann Pettersen.

Suzann Pettersen, 2007 champion from Siam Country Club, Old Course, eagled the final hole to edge out England’s Laura Davies by a narrow one shot margin.

Other top players in the field included Yani Tseng (Taiwan), Cristie Kerr, Lorena Ochoa, Paula Creamer, Michelle Wie and Na Yeon Choi.

Karrie Webb and Cristie Kerr finished in a share of 4th one shot behind third placed Yani Tseng.

Lorena Ochoa won the 2009 champion in Siam Country Club, Plantation Course.

After LPGA Thailand 2010, these top golfers except Paula Creamer, have moved to Singapore for their next tournament, HSBC Women’s Champions event.

Best wishes to those world's best lady professional golfers.

Whatever we want to say

2010-01-20T17:19:00.003+04:00

It's a great joy that Sandra Bullock won this 2010 Golden Globe Awards by her movie "The Blind Side" which has been one of my most favorites. Having watched this movie several times, I'm very impressed. Since her movie "While You Were Sleeping", I like her warm and natural performance.

Attended two weddings on the 10th of Jan, both are rich businessmen. I sincerely wish them! Sitting together with a director from a big enterprise. He said something which made the wedding less colorful as he said the groom used to be his staff, and the groom is an unsocial person who only does what he likes and only accepts compliments which may not be real at all times, and the groom is only helpful to girls. This is what the ex-boss of the groom said. As I know, groom's ex-boss is a good friend with bride's father. This made me to recall what another director said that his human resource manager is often on Facebook and Twitter to look around what their employees have written.
Internet progresses day by day, whatever we want to say, we can post it on the Internet and find someone to chat immediately, and it's because of such speedy convenience which might leave a bad trace.

I asked myself if I could do the same

2010-01-03T19:42:00.008+04:00

Happy New Year 2010.

A year just passed and a new year has just begun. I'm really thankful to everything, everything is safe, and thankful to all the supports from my surrounding friends and clients from past years.

The most impressive in my memory across last year to new year, The Blind Side, based on a true story. The most memorable part is when Leigh Anne Touhy happened to meet Michael Oher late in the night, who is black, without friends in school, and received low GPA. Leigh Anne Touhy knows Michael has nowhere to go since she saw him walking alone, she insisted to take him back to her house before Thanksgiving. Leigh Anne Touhy kept Michael and celebrated Thanksgiving together with her family. Without caring other people's different opinions, finally Leigh Anne Touhy adopted Michael, trained him to play football, and eventually Michael became a famous football player.

I asked myself if I could do the same, in the late at night to take a homeless person back to my house. Even though I know he's a school student, still most people would suspect this homeless person's personality. This movie made me wanna cry every time after watching and repeatedly recalled often.

Really love each other, they shouldn't break up.

2009-11-29T19:27:00.003+04:00

From the recent disaster film 2012 to the past romantic comedy during holiday seasons, it's hard to persuade myself to watch such disaster movies. There's another movie "500 days of summer", I watched the beginning 5 minutes, perhaps it was too late in the night or the movie itself couldn't attract my attention. I just don't like people keep thinking of her/his ex-lover after they break up.
If they really love each other, they shouldn't break up. If they already break up, they shouldn't feel that they can't live without the other. Some people like to have their new lover to know that they are still in love with their ex-lover in order to show they are nice people. A man likes to have many women to show how attractive he is, but in fact it only shows how unstable he is. I don't mean to complain any man, I've never been played by any man, and it's already very nice of me if I don't leave him. I like the man who stands by his words.
The first Xmas gifts I receive this year are the dolls from Hungary, beers and chocolates from Belgium. When I get time, I will take photos.

I have a reason that I must alive and go back

2009-11-17T14:12:00.007+04:00

"I have a reason that I must alive and go back." This sentence is really touching my heart. Rarely I rarely remember any drama actor's line with deep impression, and I rarely get impressed from watching Korean drama except "Lovers in Paris". A few days ago I watched "Iris", the actor was backstabbing and seriously injured. He asked for the help from his team, but the team leader intendedly not to provide him any help but to give up, thus the actor said, ""I have a reason that I must alive and go back."

It's been a long time since I left my hometown. During every new year, the best time and the best reason always lead me to think that I should go back. For a person who wants to return home or has been away from home, this sentence "I must alive and go back", I should not be the only one who has feeling after hearing it.

The OST of Iris matches perfectly at perfect time with the plot. This song makes me to recall another song by Jay Chou "Hard to Say".

These 3 food photos and food are my favorite recently taken.

Haven't spent time in writing my blog for one month. There are many things I want to say, but eventually I'd like to keep only good memory.

Proposal

2009-10-15T19:18:00.005+04:00

Cosmos has been my favorits flowers, I like to capture it under the sun.

Tonight watched a movie "Proposal". It's been a long time that I gave up to Hollywood's movie since they are often made up by computer technology.

Since Sandra's movie "While you were sleeping", "Lake House", and this "Proposal", she plays a wonderful role in such romantic comedy. Only knew she got married and gave birth to a twin, but she still maintains beautiful body shape.

Tomorrow is weekend, and I am having good mood because of this movie "Proposal".

Captain Abu Raed

2009-09-16T05:06:00.005+04:00

Monday is always blue, I expect to change this blue following my mood to welcome the day...Monday Blue - berry ^^

This Jordanian film "Captain Abu Raed" has been the movie that I eager to watch for long. It was nominated as the Best Foreign Language Film in Academy Award 2009, and both the actor Nadim Sawalha and actress Rana Sultan perform well.

From this movie, we see the sincerity of human from simple narration while it attracts the audience to continue watching.

Everyone has dreams. This movie presents the insistence of holding on the the dream.

9-9-09

2009-09-09T09:14:00.002+04:00

Today is 9-9-09, signals the most auspicious date for progress, what we expect? For everything we have missed, we have gained something else, and for everything we gain, we lose something else, What we are comes to ourself.

I love these words : Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit."
Must be confidence under whatever situation!

Life journey really carries too many unnecessary things

2009-08-21T11:22:00.003+04:00

Yellow cherry tomatoes were found on the market, light fragrance as honey. I'd like to capture the fresh appearance of the fruits before I eat them up.
Without appropriate bowl and vintage tone table often make me hesitating when I was about to take photos for them.
Am I considering too much!!! :)

Every time when I meet spine orthopedist, doctor always joked me that my handbag is like Doraemon's magic bag, no matter the bag I held is D&G, Guess, TOD's...In doctor's eyes, I carried all the necessary things inside my bag which turned out to be a magic bag.

The first time I heard he described my handbag as Doraemon's magic bag, I was confused and wondering if that is the Japanese animation. I only knew there was the cartoon Doraemon, but had no idea what the animation is about.

Yesterday I changed to a little handbag, still he said it's a Doraemon bag. Perhaps it is true, inside the handbag there are house keys, car keys, cellphone, etc.; however, everything inside is still very neat, range from big bag to small bag, everything is in its place where it supposed to be. There were physiotherapists used to say my handbag is very heavy when she moved my bag. I think I should change my leather handbags to other brands like Kipling, or Balenciaga's small one.
When I travel, I like Kipling, it is lightweight and waterproof.

Life journey really carries too many unnecessary things, there are worries from near to far. Ok, let me start by reducing my bag weight. We need to lose something in order to gain something.

Dare you to request your boss for a salary increase ?

2009-08-05T07:18:00.004+04:00

It's been very hot this year, gorgeous sun shines everyday. Hearsay the place having sunshine reduces depression disorder. I do like sunshine, especially when the sun shines into the room, feel the sun is killing bacteria.
I haven't tasted any ice cream this year yet. Last year I coughed and doctor told me ice cream would make my bronchitis sticky. Those raspberries and berries were planned to put on ice cream and eat together, till then got to eat with yoghurt.

Yesterday morning I received a very funny email from my best friend S, which the subject title is "Dare you to request your boss for a salary increase". Let's read this mail :)

Don't tell others you're going for a trip

2009-07-31T07:19:00.005+04:00

Recently cherry price reduced, self bought a lot as well as friends gave me. I've been eating quite a lot, 1 lb a day since breakfast to dinner...:)love cherries because of their colors. My friends said many colors can be found in each of my photo. Indeed, everything appears in front of our eyes does have its color.

Yesterday heard an interesting thing, which when you have the plan of which day leaving for a trip, it's better not to show off around on twitter, facebook, and blogs, to avoid your house turns out empty or get something stolen after you come back from holiday.

The Way of the Married Couple

2009-07-20T12:07:00.003+04:00

This drama "The Way of the Married Couple (Fuufudou) " really attracts me! This is the story about a family consisted of parents and 4 children. Every episode presents the funny story happened in their family. It looks so realistic as if it could happen in every family. Though they are not rich, they are full of energy and make audiences would like to share and participate their lives. Two years ago they had season 1, now they just finished showing season 2, and I am looking forward to watching the season 3.

Last week had pretty much amount of cheese taken by their colors appearance :) Very good taste...Capsicum red, Blue cheese, Apricot, Antipasto mix apricot, fig, blueberry.....

Watch drama, eat cheese, after that need to exercise more!!

Hi-tech weather forecasting stone.

2009-07-13T20:52:00.003+04:00

Yesterday my good friend S emailed me another lovely picture. This is a hi-tech weather forecasting stone.

Perhaps this picture could also bring some smile to the scientists.

This friend S is an OB doctor, but she goes to learns astrology. I often made fun of her by saying that even the soulmate is chosen by astrology, and she always smiled and answered sure, she will never married to a man who gives her shamble to sort out. This is could also be hi-tech astrology.

Away from downtown

2009-07-09T20:20:00.003+04:00

Recently have been going to the golf court more frequently, sitting too long in front of the computer makes the whole person less active, thinking functions slower and the mood is not so refresh. It is taught always that golf can make a person more concentrate, though the weather is hot, still had gone to the golf court with my pink set. Pink and light green are my most favorite colors for golf accessories. After seeing all the greens, it's so much enjoyable.

Most caddies are fashion and trendy, even with the model make-ups. Caddie career makes good earning, these are professional caddies with certification from PCA and caddie school. Many golf pros even make booking and request a certain caddie.

Find a way

2009-06-22T14:30:00.003+04:00

On the way back home yesterday, bought a bunch of daisies, the seller was an old man with great smile. Take a photo of them, keep the memory of the beautiful smile.

Last week in the parking lot, found this bug, It moved up and down, with poor skill it was difficult for me to focus such a tiny one.

There are many focus in life that can't be seen clear. In meditation, it is said for those unarrived things, don't think in advance. and everything has two sides, the focus of many things and words of people said is not really what they appear to us. The real focus is not clear.

Orchid love

2009-06-16T16:43:00.002+04:00

Orchid brings me lots of memories about my family, my grandfather used to grow many orchids in the garden.

Last week I took a visit at the orchid exhibition. Though I'm not that fond of orchids, I have deep love towards my family, when I see orchids they remind me of my dear family.

Mr. brain

2009-05-29T16:47:00.005+04:00

Big sunlight shined on these cosmos when I tried to take photos of it. I love those bokeh.
Tulip is one kind of my favorite flower, I shot a few photos of different color tulips where the place doesn't provide enough light.

***
This season, the best Japanese dramas to me are Abe Hiroshi's "White Spring" and KimuTaku's "Mr.Brain".
According to scientist, when people tell lie, their eyes look upward at the right side. Left part of the brain controls the vision of our right hand side eye, while right part of the brain controls the vision of our left eye.
I like the Japanese dramas with inductive plot, which the thing is not actually the same as it appears to be as what we see.

Acupuncture & physiotherapy

2009-05-20T11:54:00.002+04:00

Recently I took flower photos and I love these two :)

These 2 days had neck and shoulder pain. Checked with physiotherapy in the hospital, the physiotherapist helped me to stretch my arms and back due to sitting in front of computer too long :)

Last year I had acupuncture. Compare with the stretching now, stretching is much more painful than acupuncture. From now on, I have to do stretching exercise by myself at home. It is good to exercise from head to toes. Next time I'd like to give a try to Chinese Tuina to see if it's the same as the physiotherapy.

Seafood rice for Mother's Day

2009-05-10T11:15:00.003+04:00

Love Mom! I make seafood rice for Mother's Day :)
A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. - By Washington Irving.

Mother was marvellous above all, and worthy of honourable memory!

My dining habit :)

2009-04-26T08:51:00.002+04:00

While I am not in a hurry, one of my dining habits is to have all food colors and dishes well arranged. Also the food has to be in various kind and each in small quantities :)
While I am in busy mode, a big dish will be full of convenient food enable to eat around, though my eyes could be focus on the work :)

These are the recent photos that I took regarding what I have eaten.

One of my colleages becomes very talkative duing our lunch, but she swallows very fast. Often during her narration of the story, she finishes her food already and continues talking, while I am only half way of my lunch. Without knowing if I paid attention listening to her, or she really eats speedy :)

KFC used to be my most favorite food when I watch TV. Afraid of being chubby, currently I firmly say no to such relaxation.
Only cracker is allowed during TV time. Fortunately I only watch 1 hour TV a day and not everyday :)

Shiny day.

2009-04-13T15:58:00.003+04:00

After Easter, all plants seem thriving. With the having of my camera, I start to have some understanding about the plants.

My sister is really good at growing herbs and plants. There are many indoor plants in her house. Often she gave up long distant travel just for her plants, I really adore her will and her dearly love for treasuring plants' lives.She made her house like a garden, which is also my hope, but I am still way behind.

Hokkaido's fish could enable me to eat one more bowl of rice :)

2009-04-01T06:13:00.003+04:00

Hokkaido's fish and seafood are another attractive thing to me in addition to flower and air in Hokkaido.

きびなご Kibinago is a small fish closely related to sardines and anchovies, is the member of round herring family....one of my favorites fishes with the taste of vinegar, sesame, little salt and a little sugar. As long as they are small fishes, I love them. Small silver fishes with salmon or Mentaiko 明太子 could enable me to eat one more bowl of rice :)

Tomatoes

2009-03-28T07:04:00.002+04:00

I'm not a good cook, but I love to cook food related with tomatoes. I like tomatoes because my grandfater, my grandfather ate tomatoes everyday. All relatives and friends said grandfather's skin was tight and bright, without wrinkles, at that moment grandfater was already nearly 70 years old. Remember in that time had grown some tomatoes in yard. Grandfather would use tree branches to support and grandma made different tomato combinations with other food. Now, when see tomatoes will think of grandfather and buy some tomatoes back home.

Japanese Kiina

2009-03-22T17:44:00.002+04:00

Today's rose has my favorite color with beautiful sunshine reflecting on it.

After watching Japanese drama Kiina, the heroine is very beautiful, and the knowledge of physics is worth learning. Heroine's skin is nearly perfect, and her style of performance is lovely. The most important is the logical storyline of physics knowledge.
I love reading Japanese comics, animation and watching drama :)

There's no fat woman in France

2009-03-15T03:29:00.002+04:00

Last week, watched TV channel "Discovery Travel & Living", a tour program shows around Paris and said there's no fat woman in France, and French ladies dress well and walk nice.

By looking at the shoes you wear, French people know if you are native French or not.

There was a French couple lived opposite of my house. The wife's hair and nails always got set beautifully from the salon. She enjoyed going shopping with me, she always wears properly. Once both of us like a skirt suit, she told me that is her style in France. I am very much agreed since her elegant appearance is just exactly matched with that skirt suit.

Though I like Mediterranean food more than French food, I always appreciate the elegant present by the French people.

Japanese 明太子Mentaiko sardine

2009-03-09T16:24:00.003+04:00

Deeply in love with Japanese 明太子Mentaiko sardine...very delicious...yummy, yummy!! It was so delicious that I forgot to take photos of Mentaiko sardine!!! The photos here are the combination of silver fish mixed with vegetables, and silver fish with seaweed katsuobushi (dried vonito flakes) and sesame.

First time ate Japanese Mentaiko sardine with two seafoods which are my favorite. Japanese company 株式会社テンリョウ天漁（テンリョウ）重本san introduced me Japanese Shirasu, which is the favorite among Japanese people, and I told him I like the silver fish a bit bigger as well, it was mixed together with seaweed katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) and sesame.

The silver fish mixed with vegetables, they increase much appetite!!

Having nice conversation and good introducing of the product, I also got a big amount with the price I paid. If I have chance, I won't miss out 天漁テンリョウ delicious Mentaiko sardine and other seafood products.

The return of bougainvilleas.

2009-03-03T15:21:00.003+04:00

I deeply love bougainvilleas for its strong power to live. The stronger light from the sun, the better it lives.

Once outside my house there lived a weak stem of bougainvilleas. I was sad for its dying life, so I let its weak stem to lay on a bigger tree stem next to it supporting by a wood stick. Afterwards it has back to life.

To me, this bougainvilleas is very precious! Often I like to have a look at this bougainvilleas since it gives great will to live and survive.

Anchovies-butter. Kebab chicken sandwiches

2009-02-27T19:18:00.004+04:00

Today is my day off, had a little window shopping. I didn't go to buy the white shirt that I went for twice in Zara :)

The happiest thing today is that I got to eat anchovies-butter and garlic-butter :) It makes me to recall the memory that Italians barbecue anchovies with salts, taste so delicious! Often I prefer to put anchovies in olive oil with salad.
I have seen Italian raw anchovies, to me they look like sardine fishes.

Had 3 small pieces of cakes. In order to keep proper weight, I haven't had sweets for quite long time.

Had ambrosial Kebab chicken sandwiches again the other day. Pita is also my favorite food. At first I planned to have milk rice, but the restaurant didn't cook the milk rice today, so maybe next time.

The appetizer comprises sour cucumber with white carrot. Very delicious but too sour....to sour!!!

Greek & Turkish vine leave rice........

2009-02-18T16:12:00.004+04:00

The first time I had vine leave rice was at Dhahran.
Afterwards also had from Greece and Turkey. Turkish Dolma also wraps raisins.
Greek one also tastes great. Some people dislike for tasting sour which Turkish one had lemon juice included. At first I thought the original leaves taste sour.
I love Greek spicy red pepper sauce very much, which is not spicy at all while having nice smell. Mediterranean Sawima tastes delicious as well.
When I was in Dhahran, friends invited me going to Istanbul together, didn't make by that time but I still want to go, not only for its food but also for its architecture and culture.

May all couples be lovers..

2009-02-12T12:19:00.004+04:00

Time is fleeting, one year passed already. Valentine's Day's coming agian.

Same as last year, I love flowers very very much, but don't send me flowers on Valentine's Day:) Same as last year's reason that flowers are beautiful and gorgeous on Valentine's Day, as well as extremely expensive! The petals blacken and the flowers wither in 2 days, such a pity to see the money to be thrown into the trash can.

A little box of sage or thyme, give me a rosemary pot, or a plant will make me very happy :) At least within 3 months these plants still exist and I can remember by seeing them.

Don't know why, I love flowery fabric and lace very much :) Everytime pass by fabric shops, I'd walk in and get a piece back home. I would sew the lace around the border of the flowery fabric during holidays and put these pieces at where I like :)

May all couples be lovers!! All shall be well!

What are you waiting for on Valentine's Day?

2009-02-06T06:31:00.003+04:00

What are you waiting for on Valentine's Day?

I'm waiting for Jennifer Aniston ~ ~ ~'s movie "He's Just Not That Into You" :)

I have watched several movies acted by Jennifer Aniston and I like her natural performance.

Have been eating simpler and simpler. I used to enjoy eating sumptuous dishes. Now prefer the dishes with nice harmony colors while not too many food together.

I like the match of mozzarella, beet root with broccoli, and pumpkin soup, thinking it is interesting to have such color match while is eating :)

Without knowing if it's the visual change or for keeping diet, without doubt it could be both :)

I gave her great applauses!!

2009-01-30T07:33:00.003+04:00

Saw this pretty lady performing Chinese dancers in the mall, she caught most people's eyes' attention. There are five bowls on top of her head, and she could swirl easily with charming dance. She is one of the performers abroad spreading Chinese culture, all their teams received great applauses!!

Indeed, I also gave great applauses!!

For a achieving such successful and excellent dance, it must be the work accumulated for years!! Her consistant strength is a adorable, I believe throughout her practicing stage it must be difficult! From her, I learned the work can be achieved when we aim so.

Great applauses!!

God of wealth is holding gold ingots

2009-01-25T08:23:00.002+04:00

During Chinese New Year, I Saw these lanterns in a Chinese shop, God of wealth is holding gold ingots, which represents the meaning of this lantern and brings people wealth. Tangerine means good luck due to the same pronunciation.

When I was a kid, Chinese New Year used to be what I expected the most.....hearing the sound of crackers, with the red envelopes from the relatives, it is the cash inside the envelope. Indeed, the cash eventually had to give back to the parents since they also need to give back to other kids.

Although nowadays I don't go back to my hometown to celebrate the Chinese New Year, I still make dumplings by myself :) for getting more fortune :)

I wish all my Chinese friends a very happy Chinese cow year, Gong Xi Fa Cai!!

Homesick today

2009-01-22T06:01:00.003+04:00

Last week I had a wish to go back home to see my sister because my sister had holidays during the New Year; however, I didn't go back. Another reason was also because my work is busy.
In the beginning of the year I could get a big case from my biggest client, I am glad, so I only could say sorry to my sister for postpone the date.

Few days ago, took in some apples and berries, hopefully not to much sweets taken. It's unbearable from eating when seeing those attractive berries.

Revolutionary Road

2009-01-15T15:07:00.003+04:00

"It takes backbone to lead the life you want". " People are better off doing something they actually like." "Plenty of people are onto the emptiness but it takes real guts to see the hopelessness." ......

......Watched Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio's newest movie "Revolutionary Road". This time, Winslet acts as DiCaprio's wife and in order to overcome their dull marriage life, she encourages DiCaprio to resign from the current well-paid work and pursuit his dream to move the whole family to France using their current saving.

Winslet said this in the movie, "It takes backbone to lead the life you want".

Yes, it takes the backbone, but ask me do I dare to move desire to do what I want to do in a completely strange country, without work, without friend, but just for the dream that I used to have, I don't. I wouldn't give up my current job and I might happen to know that I have other interests to do since life is still a long way to go. Some people might blame me for being a fool, but I choose to live for today and I have no courage to select some unknown road.

From this movie, I think Leonardo DiCaprio's performance was outstanding and improved. By the way, if Jack hadn't die in Titanic but got survived and married Rose, this couple's marriage would turn out to be the story we see from this Revolutionary Road. :)

Am I really that like to eat?

2009-01-10T17:29:00.002+04:00

This morning I was delighted to wake up and went out, after delicious breakfast and went back home, am I really that like to eat.....I had yoghurt and banana, wondering if the weather is bit cold or the yoghurt was icy and sour, now I feel stomach upset.

I may had too much for breakfast, but I was alright while I had went shopping in ZARA :) Hopefully I'll feel better by tomorrow!

Hope into action.

2009-01-04T07:01:00.003+04:00

New year 2009!!
Work harder and harder, be confident under whatever situation.
In the past I live the day. From today on, not only live for today but will make everyday of mine the best!
In 2008, all the happiness are given by all around, not obtained by myself only, thanks to all that have surrounded me in 2008.....my boss, colleagues, clients and family.

" We are about as happy as we make up our mind to be" I hope myself could work harder and live everyday the perfect! Hope into action!

Mon Meilleur Ami

2008-12-31T15:35:00.005+04:00

This year has come to an end in such away... really appreciate having been a health and peaceful year, and appreciate the people around.

Do you have friends that can ask for help at 3AM.....It is a sentence from this French movie Mon Meilleur Ami ( My best freind ). Feeling terrified for something that has never been pointed out. I always thought friends are the people you are happy to be with, and never expected to get help and take this as a purpose of having friends. Indeed, there is the moment that you need to ask for help.

Used to see the surrounded people when they need to borrow money, their friends run away. Also used to hear that someone needs the neighbor to look after the house, unexpectedly, the neighbor moved away for personal own future. Often people said friends are better than brotherhood......

My grandma often told me how you want others to treat you, first you have to take a look to see how you treat others.

I think not all friends can treat us nice, usually from the TV news we see people got harmed by intimate friends. No matter what it is important to choice the right people to be our friends :)

Happy New Year 2009!! Thanks to everyone who visited here and Best Wishes to all of you!

Bienvenue chez les Chtis 2008

2008-12-22T08:05:00.002+04:00

A French movie called "Bienvenue chez les Chtis 2008", unexpectedly the movie is very much entertaining and fascinating. In the first 3 minutes, the impression from the cast was that they are not beautiful enough, but then their actings were excellent!

Enjoy this movie as it has well organized storyline and tight plots. This movie is not just the movie that requires no heavy thinking to worth a few giggles, but it goes into the memory like a keepsake and remember to watch this film again someday.

Toward the end of year, I am thankful and feeling lucky to have job and have comedy to watch.
At the same time, thank my big boss, my colleagues and all for the Xmas gift from them!

During the current economy recession, thank many people around!!

tada......here it is...

2008-12-18T15:14:00.003+04:00

My colleagues are taking holidays earlier, and I prepared some afternoon tea for celebrating Xmas in advance :-)

In our busy world, the simplest human reactions are often the most rewarding, pause and smile at friends :-)

Every Xmas I receive Panettone which looks like a big bread, though with 7 days away, tada.....here it is :-)

Hark, seesaw!

2008-12-15T12:31:00.005+04:00

It will be Xmas after 10 days!! This year, Xmas shopping included my own part :-) for the reason that I saw these beautiful coat. It is rosy pink with champagne color, my favorite one.

I dislike brilliant clothes, light color dresses always rank the top of my selection. This year I bought less clothes compare to the past years, rather, I spent more on the camera lenses and food dining.

Like seesaw, it is financially reasonable and equal when one has spent more so the rest have to be spent less. Without doubt, learn to control myself is the most essential step.

Better not to spent money :-)

I saw my grandpa and my Dad put the........

2008-12-10T06:10:00.003+04:00

Put some Xmas decorations on the tree, stocking is the first :-) When I was little, I had believed all those presents were from Santa Claus, untill one night I saw my grandpa and my Dad put the gifts into the stocking, and up to now I still hang up the stocking:-) Though I have been far away from home.

Santa Claus better stop by at my house!!!

Thyme Zaatar

2008-12-06T07:25:00.003+04:00

I love Mediterranean food very much. Onion, carrot, olive oil, garlic.....are my favorite. When dining outside Mediterranean restaurant would rank top of my preference.

Thyme Zaatar is my most favorite baked bread. Collected some information about making Thyme Zaatar, and had finally baked once by myself :-)

It resulted very nice taste with crispy, but through out the precedures, it was pretty tiring and long on massage flour :-) .....Combine the flour, salt and make a well in the center and pour in the olive oil, then mixing with hand until the mixture cleans the bowl and has come together into a slightly sticky dough...it was pretty tiring and long on massage flour :-)

Very nice taste with crispy :-)

I'm not a good cook, but I'm happy to make the Thyme Zaatar :-)

Before & after

2008-12-03T05:21:00.003+04:00

This basket is old and some top parts have little worn out, it is such a pity to throw it away, so I got a piece of Xmas fabric to cover it in a simple way, I feel the new appearance has brought the basket a new life.

Crazily love bokeh in December season

2008-11-28T09:39:00.003+04:00

December is my most favorite season in a year, perhaps it's because of Xmas, since all my favorite movies concern Xmas. Don't know if it is the shining decorations or the colors of xmas attract me! Even more, another reason could be the Xmas shopping, my favorite activity :-)

This year, already bought 2 story books, a silky scarf and handbag for friend's children and friends, respectively. Tomorrow's plan is to get a sports bag either Nike or Adidas for another friend who likes to exercise.

Days ago, I shot some Xmas corner photos with bokeh, I crazily love bokeh in December season :-)

3 jam bottles

2008-11-23T04:46:00.001+04:00

These 3 are jam bottles, thinking of a way to recycle, thus I turned them to be flower vases, though without gorgeous appearance, they are beautiful in my eyes :-)

Better not to spend money

2008-11-16T16:50:00.005+04:00

Haven't been anywhere during weekend, from daily news world economy is in recession. Staying at home, reading, watching, learning, cooking and photo taking are better instead of spending money outside.

Better not to spend money, except buying food and living necessity :-)

Sunshine is free of charge, love to have the sunshine in to the house as an accompany!!

let the sunshine in, sunshine in.

2008-11-10T15:44:00.002+04:00

Recently continuously shot photos about windows. I like the light shining in through the window, looked through casement, let the sunshine in, sunshine in.

Ambiguous love is the most beautiful...!

2008-11-03T07:24:00.003+04:00

Weekend, take dinner with some friends, they said why romantic feeling before marriage no longer exists after marriage, and even the feeling two people enjoy coffee changes, it no longer romantic, also the anticipation for a date turns out to be the silent moment at home, each does his or her own activity.

Ambiguous love is the most beautiful. I think it makes sense :-)

Dates Memory

2008-10-29T06:15:00.002+04:00

Around these day ate a lot of dates & nuts :-). Love Arabian dates and walnuts started from the American school bus to home in K.S.A. It was during Ramadan and my family told me for foreigners are not supposed to eat outside during the daytime.

It was after school, and the school bus driver gave us some dates, figs and nuts. I was inside the schoolbus and looking outside, without any attention, by accident just put the date into my mouth and ate.

When thinking about it, the date was already delicious eaten. This delightful memory always reminds me to buy dates back home whenever I see dates and walnuts nowadays.

For me, beautiful memory does come from environment.

Cape No.7

2008-10-23T05:59:00.004+04:00

My friend introduced me to watch this movie Cape No.7.....portrayal of life in a small town. In the beginning 20 minutes the storyline was quite boring, but afterwards I feel the old postman and the young postman play their sentiment role very well in musical performances. This story shows the social structure vicissitude, historical elaboration and different thinking between two generations.

Also across the age, ethnicity, culture and language.Japaness actor Atari Kousuke's Japanese "Sore Zore Ni" is my favorite, and also Taiwanese Van Fan's song South of Border is nice!!

This cup is ginger ale with strawberry, mint and ginger, for celebrating my one-year dairy blog and photos.

Is your desk clean?

2008-10-18T05:05:00.002+04:00

Weekend, give some green tea and coffee cookies, this is my most favorite lace and tea cup :-)

Is your desk clean? I read an article saying when you started working, you were bestowed with a clean, plain and pathetically boring desk,and that's just depressing, so decorate your desk by your favorite colors and put up some funny pictures with your necessary office accessories, and you will work fine.

Not really agree with this article. If my desk is covered by many things, I'd get depressed and not work well. If the article was suggested by the physician or specialist, I am really confused.

Everyday I prefer a paper, a pen, a big bottle of water, and a laptop on my desk, all else should stay inside the drawer and cabinet. My room should have a window enable me to see outside either rain or sunshine.

Perhaps one day when my character and mood change, I might turn my desk into a colorful desk.

What you are comes to you.

2008-10-13T06:26:00.001+04:00

Monday again!! Little by little one walks far. I like this words " Work is about daily meaning as well as daily bread. For recognition as well as cash; for astonishment rather than torpor; in short, for a sort of life rather than a Monday through Friday sort of dying".

Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you, what you are comes to you. I learned the value of hard work by working hard. Cheerio dreamisz, work hard!!!

High tea

2008-10-09T04:52:00.003+04:00

The first impression I got from high tea was from my mother, she loves afternoon tea! The one she loves the most locates in Hong Kong Peninsula Hotel. This picture was shot in my most favorite hotel in UAE.

A few years ago, because of my mother, the first place I went when I arrived Hong Kong was Peninsula Hotel.

In recent years, due to business trip, I tasted difference afternoon tea in defference countries, just the difference in atmosphere, our mind and mood.

Only up to now, I just realize how important a mother could affect her daughter.

Weekend is coming, mood comes from our open mind and thinking. Be a happy person over the weekend!

Kumquats

2008-10-03T15:17:00.004+04:00

Autumn is my most favorite season. Without any special reason, just simply fond of it and enjoy the feeling of beginning winter.

*** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***
5 months ago one of my colleagues said she would resign because she said the boss complained her; however, she stayed for another 5 months. Last week, she saw the boss has assigned a project to another colleague, she asked for leave 1 day with unhappiness, by coincidence, it was also her birthday, we still bought a cake for her. After 1 day, she said she would resign again.

Everybody in the company thought she just wanted to be in the spotlight. She favored the feeling when everybody asked her to stay. She said her owns land in her hometown, as well as got a new job though the salary is only half of the current here, she'd like to ask for 1 day leave and take a look in the new company. When she found nobody supported her nor being sweet to her, she was caught by her own words. Without any road to return, she reluctantly resigned.

Today, some colleagues said in fact she has no new job, she was just jealous about the new project handed over to another colleague.

I've been understood that work is a group work, not just one man show, and cannot occupy one thing with the dictatorship power.

*** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***
This is one of my favorite plants and fruits for me. With a little bit of sour fruit and sweet peel. I remember when I was a kid, my grandmom would buy lots of Kumquat which symbolizes the fortune.

Today is Friday. Happy weekend.

What it is gone, is gone ?!!

2008-09-29T03:11:00.001+04:00

Before last Christmas, my NB harddisk was out of order, which contained many pictures of my Europe trip, and thus I had been in gloomy, sad for few months.

It is said, " We look forward, not backward. Remember the good things, forget the bad things" ; however, sometimes I'd like to remember some experiences about the mistakes I should not repeat.

Today is another Monday, begins a new week!! Cheerio dreamisz! Look forward !!

Rmembering

2008-09-26T04:45:00.002+04:00

Remembering and busy are not equivalent. What should be remembered must be kept in the momory, especially the worth learning ones.

Memory should be able to help me to become wise :-)

This is a Lebanese restaurant that I like very much in UAE.

Yellow bell peppers & deco

2008-09-22T05:55:00.003+04:00

Friends said my photos are full of colors :-)

I don't know if my photos are more colorful; anyhow, I like colorful things since my childhood. Having a small piece of flowery table cloth, a yellow wall, matches with an elegant flowery curtain would make me happier.

Light pinky purple and rosy purple bedsheets used to be the color that made me feeling comfortable. In addition, I used to buy yellow knife, fork and all sets of yellow kitchenware in order to match with my kitchen.

Recently I fell in love with yellow and red bell peppers. Not only beautiful but also delicious. It's simple and easy to cook the bell peppers by putting into boiling water and thus they could be either salad or salad decorations.

Do I really like colorful things? Yes, I do. :-)

Failed due to greedy.

2008-09-19T05:34:00.003+04:00

EThe weakness of human is greedy. When seeing the things others have, wish ourselves could also have. When seeing delicious food, would like to bite a bit more, When hearing the chance to earn money, thinking ourselves could also earn the same.

It is right to be ambitious as well as improving, but must consider the ability and must have the consiousness of danger.

World economy seems more and more not optimistic. With the hope that myself don't be greedy with anything.

Hopefully somebody returns the ticket...

2008-09-17T05:56:00.006+04:00

Music and dance are my hobbies, love Arashi's dance and songs. This year, Arashi's 2008 concert will be held in 4 places: Tokyo, Taipei, Shanghai and seoul. At first I planned to watch it in Taipei, where is a place I familiar with;however, all tickets have sold out.

At the same time while online ticketing is available, I was too busy in work and have neglected to book my ticket, now only Shanghai hasn't started ticketing.

Hopefully somebody returns the ticket in Taipei :-) so I can book my seat and flight ticket earlier.

Chinese mid-autumn festival.

2008-09-14T16:09:00.003+04:00

Today is Chinese mid-autumn festival. My friend gave me a box of mooncakes, I'm happy :-)

The another friend gave me a box of virtual mooncakes by email, I'm happy too :-)

Wishing my friends and all Chinese people a very happy mid-autumn festival with family together, which is the meaning of this festival.

I like this quote...

2008-09-05T11:48:00.002+04:00

I like this quote, " Agree the possibilities under critics, but not make conclusion".
Agree with critizers for the possibilities and logics events happened, is this shows the comprehension towards critizers' point of view; however, ourself don't conclude and not in a hurry to express our opposite opinions.
Under any situation, should not hurrily judge right or wrong simply through the appearance, while it is through the appearance to dig out the substantial essence and eventually is the conclusion.

Friday again, --- my weekend, happy friday for myself :-)

F4 boys over flowers Hana Yori Dango

2008-09-02T04:10:00.005+04:00

Yearning for the movie for 2 months, finally I got to watch "F4 boys over flowers" / Hana Yori Dango / 流星花園-皇冠的秘密.

What impressed the most from the lovely plot is when the actress Makino asked the actor Domyoji,"What is your dream?" Without hesitating, Domyoji replied " you, I love you. "

It's a story about a rich and famous boy fell in love with a girl from poor family, within the luxurious plot, there also shows the side of humanity.

Do you have dream? Yes, everyone has a dream! Perhaps dreaming different everyday, perhaps dream is long...... life if beautiful when there is a dream.
Oguri Shun still looks the same.

Inoue Mao still remainsher loveliness.

I also like Abe Tsuyoshi, I have seem him from TV show, his attitude, smile, and exercise taent are great!

As day goes by......

2008-08-28T15:37:00.002+04:00

Everyday I wish to exercise but as day goes by, the sketchings about exercise are more than the real exercise in practical life :-) for to remind myself to exercise, I have been drawing about exercise during break time.

Too much ice cream for me :-) .............

Exercise more, more!!

Two women's dreamed investment.

2008-08-26T16:51:00.005+04:00

Hi, hi, my sketching again :-)

Yesterday my good friend N.K. said if ever she had 500 million, she would live her days relaxing. Such relaxation is in the way not to use to brain in serious work, instead she plans to attend music concert of Matsumoto Jun and travel to Paris......around the world.

When she heard the plan of mine, wonderling if it's either she or I more dreaming? My plan with 500 million is to invest 300 million in hospital, 20 million in a small, exquisite supermarket which has almost everything available.
In addition, spend 50 million in investing a high class, polite cab company, another 50 million in a bodyguard company consisting of handsome strong tall men and young beautiful ladies.

The revenue from the above industries will be used to invest in real estate.

Why is it so to think in investing in these investments, because food, clothes,living, and transportation are the necessities in life. Supermarket, polite taxi, hospital, bodyguard are related to our life.

Dreamful? Great oaks from little acorns grow. These should be practical plannings. To be more practical, must speed up saving money and make investment to get profit.

ice cream :-)

2008-08-24T05:45:00.004+04:00

Recently I ate some ice cream, a lot more compare with the past.

Mixed fruits raspberry ice cream.

Raspberry + yoghurt + ice cream.

I love raspberry ice cream :-)

Mango ice cream :-)

I like Italian gelato, everytime take in one big cup of ice cream, need exercise continously two weeks :-)

Have a nice weekend!

Only that I understand.

2008-08-20T05:23:00.002+04:00

A few days ago, was hoping to eat pasta, so durig my lunch break, I just took color pencils and crayons, randomly sketched my favorite pasta.

Even up to today I still laughed after looking at it, perhaps only myself understand these are Italian pasta, cheese, tomato, chile, capperi, and cooking pasta, basil :-)

Today is another busy day, how wonderful is it!!!

Tomatoes curry & my sketching

2008-08-15T17:15:00.005+04:00

A freind gave a box of Japanese tomato curry, which made me very happy, because I've been wanted to eat for long :-)

Friday is my holiday, I went to supermarket and bought onions, potatoes, red carrots, and other vegetables.....
........I love sketching, drawing is a hobby since my childhood, remembered there used to have the desire to learn drawing, though eventually still did not learn art sketching. I did this sketching for my own pleasure and remembering :-)

Washing and cutting are what I dislike to do, but in order to eat I had to cut them into small pieces. Fried garlic and put all the vegetables into to frying pan, add in some water and put in curry, I think it is very delicious :-)

I invited friends coming for lunch together. Each of us had two dishes of curry and rice. Hopefully my weight won't get increased :-) It would be even better if it were spicy flavor,I prefer the food with little spicy, which can help to burn calories :-)

Not block other people's way to make fortune

2008-08-09T16:21:00.001+04:00

The new colleague is very nice, polite and talkative, could chat from personal to movies, the atmosphere is always pleasant and not in solitude.

I recall a practice of meditation from a friend, she said, " Two restaurants out there, if to compare which one is better, we shall not have bad words for the less tasty one, not to block other people's way to make fortune."

I'm not a devoted follower of meditation, but I truly believe and respect this saying.
Everyone holds different opinion, what we think is good may not be good for others, and what we think is not good, may not really bad for others.

Easy to say, hard to be done, often I need prectice this.

let the heart come back

2008-08-05T17:51:00.004+04:00

It's time to let the heart come back and work hard. Had lived at ease last week. Having been tried to release the pressure by changing thinking and relaxing mind.
No big improvement in work is my biggest pressure, it is said that world economy is deteriorating; hovever, in such slowdown, myself did not achieve good enough technical breakthrough. I think I'm not paying 100% concentration, this is what I need to get better, tomorrow is another day, it's time to go back to work and face the goal with firm steps, cheerio, cheerio!

Color my day.

2008-08-04T07:39:00.004+04:00

Had lived at ease last week, mood has to be changed through different perspectives, different places, different foods. I like this sentance, "The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration."

When I'm not happy, I like to travel or take a walk, every simple tiny thing outside would make me happy. I like windows, either inside or outside the windows can bring different feelings and senses. In fact, the happiness is from inner peace, I need to learn more from the inner peace.

Back to work the day after tomorrow, must work hard, cheerio to myself! Cheerio!

My colleague T. K. who always has all sorts of reasons and excuses before the job gets down, even just search for one thing she wants the exact location and not bother to think where it suppose to be. When others hold different opinion with her, she just feel she lost her power to the job and complained. I've learnt to speak with those wise and hight-efficiency people who don't have so many personal emotions with " but" or " because, blah...blah", difficult person to work with. This is my first time ever complain about my colleague, from her I will learn not to repeat the same mistake like her laziness.

Cheerio, dreamis, cheerio! Work with serious attitude.

I bought a pretty olive oil bottle

2008-07-30T05:26:00.002+04:00

I bought a pretty olive oil bottle with applied color painted, then put rosemerry and garlic inside. Simply pour my favorite extra virgin olive oil into this elegant decorative bottle, it's perfect for salad dressing.

Without knowing why, I prefer using pretty dishes and the best to dine by the window, although I'm not good at cooking :-)

The mood of mine has not been very delighted in the past few days due to the changing of a new team member, schedules have been mixed up. my grandma always said that all good things must come to an end, everything is temporary anyway, friends must part because of everyone has their future, say goodbye doesn't mean anything, it's the time we spent together that matter, not how we left it, also memory lasts forever.......

Blessing a big bright future to my colleague who left for a new place, hope the new comer has a pleasant personality.

Not content...

2008-07-26T05:45:00.005+04:00

Some people's happiness comes from competition, some people's unhappiness comes from comparing.

Once I've been wanting in the things others have. When I saw the dress that others have, I also want one that I think which will make myself more beautiful :-) ; therefore, every week will go to Zara and buy a dress back. When saw nice beautiful shoes, also want to buy them to match my clothes.

When neighbors have moved to their new house, I thought the current house is old and also want to move to a new home.
When colleagues said which restaurant is more delicious or which activities they attended, I also considered about my time and schedule...

One day, read an article : many unnecessary & unhappiness comes from not content with what we have. If cannot change the current situation, should try to adjust and like what is now.

Worse off than some, better off than many.

To fall short of the best, but be better than the worst.

Compare everything with my own past, not with others; thus, have realized an extra spending for the fashion of myself can help those who have difficulties in life, as I told myself when go to malls every time now.

If I had won lotto :-)

2008-07-23T05:32:00.002+04:00

Have you ever thought that you would win lotto someday?

This summer season, there's a Japanese drama called "The man who won 320 million yen in Lotto 6", the actor dreamed to win lotto and as a matter of fact he did win.

My best friend said if she could win 500,000 dolloars from lotto, after deducting tax, with the remaining money could only buy a house which is not so luxury while not big as well.
Oh, I don't mind to have a small and not luxury house worth 10 million. I'd be very happy if I could just win :-) There are many things can be done...charity, good things.............................................................:-)

Hearsay that good luck people don't win lotto, maybe this is a good way to comfort those who don't win :-)

Everything depends on the effort we pay out, only diligent hard working can make dreams come ture, only the earnest people, be earnest, dreamisz!

Can happy mood be passed?

2008-07-13T06:44:00.002+04:00

How nice if could carry a mind of holiday everyday!

How nice if have a sunny and serene mood everyday!

Spend the all day swimming, snorkeling, and beautiful golf courses. The exclusive oceanfront location ensures refreshing sea breezes and tranquility without sacrificing accessibility, all with soothing ocean views.

If happy mood could be passed on, I'd like to have it passed on day by day!!!

A Distant Promise

2008-07-06T05:22:00.005+04:00

Have watched an impressive Japanese dorama SP --- A Distant Promise. A story of a grand love torn apart by the waves of history.

This is from a true story of one woman who had waited because she loved, and one woman who said farewell because she loved.

These two women love the same man, who, bolstered by the love of these two women, struggled through the most extreme of circumstances and survived.

During his most difficult time, he met his second woman and lived together until the age of 70 something. The man made two coffins for which he thought he would never be able to return to his own country Japan.

His second wife applied the documents from the embassy and prepared the things he needs, and even filed for divorce for him to return to his first wife, that is his resolution for all these years in his mind.

The most impressive part was when the separation occurred in train station where two old husband and wife might never see each other again.

God still granted the good heart people, eventually 3 of them met together again in Japan.

Love is like a river, never ending as it flows, but gets greater with time!

Feel free to talk.

2008-07-01T12:44:00.004+04:00

Sometimes I tell myself not to worry, nor to worry about something hasn't happened. In work field not everyday can satisfy goals.

I always keep worry thing in mind, unwillingly and rarely to share my worries with others, always want to bring happiness to others.

Envious to those who always feel free to narrate things in agony to others.

Some people try to reduce pressure by eat or shopping, no matter what, try to find some interest for self-learning instead of worrying something. It's the best to concentrate on business, It's time to work hard, move from thinking to action, cheerio, cheerio, dreamisz!

Enjoy the simple things.

2008-06-25T06:46:00.005+04:00

Friend sent me this by e-mail, and I like the contend:

1. Throw out nonessential numbers.This includes age, weight, and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends.The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)
3. Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.Never let the brain get idle.'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimers!

4. Enjoy the simple things

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with him or her.

6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on.The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourself.LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it.If it is unstable, improve it.If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips.Take a trip to the mall, even to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is

10. Tell the people you love ,that you love them, at every opportunity.

And if you don't send this to at least four people - who cares? But do share this with yourself.
This tells me we must be a happy person, happiness should come from our mind! Thank you my friend!

Spa food

2008-06-21T05:49:00.002+04:00

Without complicated sauce, only with a few aromatic ingredients rouse the memory of flavor combining low-calorie, it is the spa food that gives no burden to body.

From the odor, hearing, vision, smell and touch to become another type of spa experience to reproduce flavor ingredients, colorful combination is another way of visual enjoyment.

Fruit meals are my favorite, but some fruits are as sweet as sugar, it's easy to eat too much sweet :-)

Only my heart has flew away...

2008-06-15T11:00:00.003+04:00

Two colleagues plan to resign from the company, one feels the environment is lonely after working for one year, while the other one who has been working for 7 years feels unhappy from boss' complain.
Feeling a bit shock when knowing the news, after all we had been working together for 7 years.

My grandmother used to tell me when you are feeling sad for others, as a matter of fact you're feeling sorry for yourself; when a family memeber passed away, the family relatives always cried out loud and said what shall I do as you have left me alone, actually what people worried are about self's lonelinss besides yearning.

I think me, too. When colleageus plan to resign, I might feel lonely without them.

Days move on and work day by day, it's only that my own heart has flew away. Must let my heart coming back to the same place. Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

Wish my colleagues a bright future!

color collection

2008-06-05T13:47:00.002+04:00

There are many colors in life that will catch our eyes, but only few colors will catch our heart.

People like different color in different time, different age, and different mood.

An economist said, "In boon economy, ladies prefer pink color and mini skirt."

When we've colorful rainbow deep down in our heart, we'll smile with.

We're a part of colorful life when we find and have a rainbow inside.

Colors can settle and smooth our mind, take a look around whenever we have. Colors are always around in lives, while we breathe and learn.

What colors do you like today? Today I like green and light pink.

Giving a relaxing Friday, and thank you Ray.

2008-05-30T10:50:00.011+04:00

I like Friday, brings the feeling of relaxation.

Today plan to watch some drama DVDs, read some books, and eat an ice cream....mmmmm....give myself a relaxing Friday :-)

In Japanese drama " Around 40", the heroine is a psychiatrist, her favorite hobby after work is to watch comedies.

In real life, one of my friend who is a physician, she told me if we can live alone without other sound near such as watch TV, listen to music, talk on the phone, concentrate in our own silence and peace, we'll obtain much happiness.

I also try to practice, so far I still want to watch drama and shows :-)

Have a nice weekend! And thank you Ray, in order to keep your nice compliment, I've kept that photo to the unpublished album, I feel happy and I'd very much appreciated!

Kind hearts are the gardens.

2008-05-25T05:28:00.003+04:00

Share strawberry ...Half you, half me!

Have a nice weekend !

This flower is so beautiful that I love it, because one of its petals has been withered, just like people grow old by age, age turns out to be more beautiful by becoming wise.

I like these sentences:

"Kind hearts are the gardens,
Kind thoughts are the roots,
Kind words are the flowers,
Kind deeds are the fruits,
Take care of your garden And keep out the weeds,
Fill it with sunshine Kind words and kind deeds"

Everyday is a blue sky day.

2008-05-20T05:42:00.003+04:00

I love big glass window and blue sky.

Out from this window, dome appears beautifully, the sky has no cloud.

Blue sky can make people's mood feel brilliant.

Used to see the living room of a penthouse where is all surrounded by glass windows. Looking out and looking down as if the space is unlimited. So beautiful!

When on airplane and outside the windows, clouds are always in big pieces. Often they look like lots of cottons as if untouchable.

If everyday is a blue sky day without raining, it can't be a good thing either. " sigh " nothing in this world is perfect.

I pray for all the people who involved by the quake in SiChuan!

2008-05-14T17:19:00.003+04:00

I pray for all the people who involved by the quake in SiChuan, China. I'd like to contribute some little as I can.....I've been thinking a lot about the indispensable things since the first day quake struck: food, water, medicine, sleeping bags, clothes, instant noodle, bread.......I'd like to contribute some little as I can.
Nobody likes to see disasters happened, nobody wants the family and friends to have the same happening, saw live views from TV report, it's really downhearted to see such terrible events, I pray for all the people who involved by the quake in SiChuan, God bless them all.

I miss my mom.

2008-05-09T16:12:00.004+04:00

Mother's Day is coming near, I miss my mother.

The best part of the memory in recent years that once I was on business trip and my mom came to pick me up at the airport. We had dinner together in restaurant at Grand Hyatt Hotel until late in the night.

There was a another time, cold chill on a winter evening, she came to see me, I asked her if her feet felt the cold through the coat and skirt, she said it kept her look elegant and streamlined. She was always presented herself in a neat and classy manner.
Often I told my sister that we are not as neat as our mother.

Though there was a time that I met my mother once in a long time, she always left me good trace of memories.

On this mother's day, still I wish my dear mom a very happy mother's day, don't worry about me, I'm fine, just miss you ::^.^::

expect nothing

2008-05-05T05:17:00.002+04:00

Few days ago, saw the blossom of these two flowers.

They bloom beautifully but will graduallly wither from tomorrow, brought back home in order
to keep their glorious blooming colors and shot for lasting forever in my favorite memory.

Simple is also beautiful! Sometimes, expect nothing, look what we can expect and don't ask much of something, simple is also beautiful :-)

Berries are sweet. Peaches are sour.

2008-04-30T17:36:00.008+04:00

Berries are sweet. Peaches are sour, which has to taste with ice cream.

In our daily life, we also encourter sour, sweet, bitter and chille happings.

Have a sweet taste for ourself to reduce the bitter.

Have a colorful life for ourself to balance the emotion.

A physician friend told me " when you hesitate, don't do it! When you want to take a nap, just do it! Don't force yourself to get compliment from others. Cool down our mind and listen to what is really in ourself. "

I like these words " When we down, remember the happy time, when we're happy, don't get overjoy."

Absolute boyfriend

2008-04-25T15:24:00.003+04:00

Watched an interesting drama, about a girl whos boyfriend is a robot. She expects her boyfriend to show up whenever she needs.

Just as her expectation, he picks her up after work everyday and brings her umbrella when it rains.

Just as her expectation while she was having trouble in work, he helped her to accomplish even put himself in injury. His name is Knight, meaning he is always there to protect her.

When she was cheated by her friends, he showed up and punished the bad man.
Although it's just a drama, it depicts the hope for a soulmate from a woman :-)

Don't know if it will be more difficult for woman to look for her prince charming since the expectation might get higher after watching this drama story.

If there is a robot for testing, I'd like to have one also :-) ~^.^~

Love requires a reason or not!?

2008-04-20T17:04:00.007+04:00

Am fond of a song, which the lyrics was written, "Loves doesn't require a reason, knowing how to cherish is the key to have true love."

Apparently, other than kinship love, true love requires a reason, even just a petite reason.

Often I got confused will I love a person without a reason, or will anyone love me without any reason?

I like this "knowing how to cherish is the key to have true love".

Cherish comes by both side.
