Post-spring break resolution

It takes 21 days to form a habit, and it takes the rest of the semester to break my bad habits:

1. RSF every Tu/Th/Friday;
2. "You want cheese?" NO!
3. No sweets after 8pm;
4. 20 sit-ups before sleep;
5. and finish a novel;

Like a rock

My parents always wanted a son. "As soon as I heard your Dad's heavy footsteps on the stairs, I knew it's a girl," my grandma divulged to me during our little bed-time chat. Oh well, too bad, in China, my folks only had one shot at it, and I am what they are stuck with for the rest of their life, the little, fat, ugly, and extremely demanding creature. For the next 20 plus years, I become the center of their everyday life. My parents and my grandma are my rocks.

How many years have passed? My grandma passed away, my dad got sick, and my mom is aging. Since when, my ever strong mother started to ask me to stay at home more often? Since when, my Mom started to ask me to take her to the beach? since when, I needed to make decisions for the family? and since when, I become her rock.

yes, the rock has been passed down to me. I am the son and the daughter of the family. The little, fat, ugly, selfish and bratty girl, you have to grow up now, no matter if you are ready or not, be strong and resolute, like a rock.

You are the sunshine of my life
(Yeah, right!)
That’s why I’ll always be around,
(Oh, really?)
You are the apple of my eye,
(Whatever!)
Forever you’ll stay in my heart
(like you really mean it)
I feel like this is the beginning,
(I bet you say that to every girl you met)
Though I’ve loved you for a million years,
(puke...)
And if I thought our love was ending,
(then what?)
I’d find myself drowning in my own tears.
(puke my gut out)

You see, guys are so full of it. I don't buy a single word of those love songs. They are poisons that makes you believe in a love for a life time. Most of the time, guys even forget what they said themselves. If you take their words seriously, you just set yourself up for heartbreaks.

The weather Man

"Do you know that the harder thing to do and the right thing to do are ususally the same thing. Nothing that has meaning is easy. Easy doesn't enter into grown-up life. "

"That's quite an American accomplishment."

"You always worry about your kids. No matter how old. There is always looking after."

"I don't predict it. It's wind, it's just wind, it blows all over the place."

"This shit life, we must chuck some things."

What is faith? Faith is: He is, and we are not. He is everything, and we are nothing. Love him like a little baby, absorbing his love with no holding back. Totally open our hearts and say, Lord, I need you... ...

PROMISE 誓言

我以为 
I thought
永远可以这样相对 
we could be like this forever
好几回 
several times
这样地想起舍不得睡
I can't sleep with this thought on my mind
如果你能给我一个真诚的绝对 
if only you could give me a definite answer
无所谓 我甚么都无所谓
it doesn't matter, I don't mind at all.
前面的路 也许真的并不太清楚
the road ahead may not be that certain
放心地走了以后 也许会觉得辛苦 
the chosen path might be full of toil
也许会想停也停不住
maybe we won't be able to stop
天越黑 心越累 
The darker it gets, the more tired my heart is
我看见 你的脸 
I see your face
听着你说不出口的誓言
listening to the promise you can't really give
那一刻 我发现 
at that moment, I find out
我有天 经过你的身边 
some other day, I walk you by
找不到你的视线
but can't see your eyes

把我的 心交给你来安慰
I give my heart to you to console
能不能 从此就不用再收回
is it possible that I don't have to retrieve it
别以为执着的心就不会被碰碎
don't assume that a strong heart will never be broken
别以为 我真的无所谓
don't assume that I really don't mind at all.

one of those days that you just want to slap yourself, but at the end of the day, a light conversation over dinner with a friend could really pick me up. Just like a snap of the fingers, suddenly, I am up again.
