aaaah.....so refreshing to listen to the rain.  Today's rain sounds quite lively.  Probably because the rain just got harder.  haha.  Although the weather outside is bleak, that's OK, 'cause ma spirits are HIGH!  wheeeee! Another highly unproductive day.  *happy sigh*  So already break is halfway done, and yet these are the only things I've managed to accomplish:

• Eat.  A lot.
• Shop.  A lot.
• Bond with my bed.  A lot.

I guess I did accomplish my goal to be completely relaxed and unproductive during the break.  lolll.

SUPER JUNIOR M

WARNING: This is a fan girl post :)
Super Junior M - Super Girl >CLiCK<

I'm really too old to be doing this, but *fan girl squeal* Oh. My. God. The existence of Super Junior M has solidified my dream to go back to Taiwan and act as a translator for a TV station LOL. Although I thought that that one guy with the high-pitched voice (Ryeo Wook is it? Still trying to learn names... ^^;;) was kinda annoying in the MV, he's really cute on the TV shows and stuff. Actually, all of them are :) I can't be biased anymore about who to like >_<  Gawd, wish I were in Taiwan in February since they're going to have a concert then.  Hopefully, I'll have a chance to see them in the future!  *crosses fingers*

Kyu Hyun.  He was soo adorable on 娛樂百分百!  He was zoning out for a lot of it and got picked on for it.  His embarrassed reaction was just too cute!  Plus he has a baby face ;)

Han Geng.  I think he was the one that caught my eye first.  Actually, I was looking for him first because he's the Chinese member of SJ.  It was weird seeing him speak on TV...he has a China accent haha.  More manly.....definitely my type haha.

Zhou Mi.  He looks Kang Ta-ish at some angles I realize now, after sifting through a couple of pics.  100% 美男子.  You'll melt when u see him with glasses  ;) 

Dong Hae.  The flirt xD  Likes to say random things in Chinese..much like I do in Korean haha.  He was one of the ones to first catch my eye too because he has ramen hair.  haha.  I kept mistaking him for Han Geng.  He looks Chinese to me at first glance. *shrug*

Si Won.  His performance in Spring Waltz was really memorable.  Imagine my surprise when I saw him debut as SJ!  He's also an incredibly fast-thinker.  Definitely has the 綜藝 talent because 他很會接話!  Him catching on to the Korean joke was funny.

Henry Lau.  So, in the beginning I thought all the boys in SJM were from the original SJ.  But I was wrong!  Henry's the "violin boy" as I know him from the soompi thread haha.  He seems to be a really cute guy..and he has 瞇瞇眼 xD  kawaaaaaiii!

Ryeo Wook.  ahahahaha it was soo funny when he mimicked Han Geng when asking for the waiter.  It was literally the EXACT same, in a perfect mainland China accent.  He's a cutie too.

Uncontrollable shopaholic...yikes!

So, I totally thought that I ran out of things to buy. Like seriously, my CC bill was $500 (pre-Black Friday too!) and then my December bill won't be a disappointment either; probably around $300. I go to the mall, and I've seen everything so often that I can basically rebuild each store for you. Yet now I'm finding things to buy...again! Definitely not good. So here's my list:

1. A snood. This is like, my favorite word right now. Snood, snood, snood. It just sounds so....cool! And I like the idea of it too. Usually I have tons of problems with scarves (though I love them to death) because I can never drape them in a nice way like they do in dramas and fashion magazines. But with snoods, it doesn't matter! You just circle it how many times you want around your neck, and voila! Style a la carte.

2. A pair of versatile pumps. I realized that I don't own a pair of black pumps. Odd, isn't it? *laughs* The only black pair of heels I wear are my interview ones, which are totally to McCombs standard and totally not up to a-night-out standards.

3. These babies.

Honestly, I never would have given these a second glance if it wasn't because the first time I saw them someone was actually wearing them. I'd think "that flower looks tacky" and continue on my way. But, on Black Friday I saw a black chick trying them on at Macy's. Instantly fell in love with them. Except they're too pricey >_< Hopefully they'll still be around for the after x-mas sales. *crosses fingers*

4. An outfit that matches my sparkly silver Wonder Girl tights. I bought them a year ago and keep wanting to wear them just because they're so fun, but alas, I have yet to find something to match them. Perhaps...a chiffon skirt with a cute tee? blehh...dunno. I'm determined to wear them this season though! In time for New Year's would be even better ;)

5. A cowl-neck sweater. Or just a sweater that's awesomely comfy, soft, long, drapey, and a cool neck line. Something that'll put me in the winter mood :)

6. Warm socks. I think I'm picking up on your obsession, Steph! Although not toe socks. lol. Just some cute socks that are warm, because I realize that my feet get cold very easily, and our apt is always freeeeeeezing.

7. A moisturizer that does its job. The winter dryness has definitely been harsh on my already dry skin. I keep wanting to put this purchase off in anticipation of the free gift season, but I don't think I'll be able to, unless I want parched skin.


yeah...New Year's resolution will definitely have to be to keep shopping under $50. boo :'(

Afterthoughts on My Sister's Keeper

So after a strong recommendation on Eva's behalf and the attraction that the book's storyline attracts- a sister conceived with only one mission, to help her sister live, I finally pick up and read My Sister's Keeper. Surprisingly, I finished it in a day. I love the Harry Potter series to death, and I don't think I was able to finish the first few in such a record time; although that probably doesn't mean much.

The first thing I have to rave about is the amount of typos in the damn book. It was RIDICULOUS, the number! I felt like there was a typo in every section of the book. And they weren't simple typos like "hsa" or something, it was like spelling perv "pret" or the like. It was grievously and blatantly wrong to the point where it interfered with my reading. Which is definitely annoying when you're feverishly skimming through the book so you can get to the beefy part, the ending. They seriously paid that editor for nothing. Also, the perspectives style she used reminded me of Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible. Other than that, I think the only reason this book stands out is because of the obvious moral and ethical dilemma it presents. Although I must give credit to the author of thinking of such a fabulously dramatic storyline. And the ending! What a surprise. *shrug* Well, at least it wasn't terrible and didn't make the book a complete waste of my time.

Campbell's also definitely one hot lawyer. And gawd did the movie screw that part up. Here's a picture of the movie-version Campbell:


He looks like the BA324 prof that I had. Definitely not hot. Nor young. Nor the badass and dashing womanizer that Campbell should be. I wonder, is there a common point between all the male leads that I'm attracted to in books and dramas? Let's see, well I guess a common point is that they're all deficient in something. And probably cowards. No, I take that back. Darcy wasn't a coward; quite the opposite. Nor was Min-hyung from Winter Sonata and Lee Kyung Min from On Air. But they definitely had deficiencies. Darcy was overly protective of those dear to him, Min-hyung hadn't ever truly loved, and Lee Kyung Min had fragile self-esteem because of his economic status. Meh, I guess it proves the saying that you love someone despite them being imperfect? Or that you love everything about someone, even their imperfections? Something like that. And, I guess if someone does just so happen to be perfect, then they must be the most boring ever and you would never be interested in them. Ever.

【測驗】探勘你的OPEN尺度

文：明日工作室

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

現代社會裡，喜慶節日受人歡迎，有時反倒變成一個又累人又吃力不討好的負擔，你最怕過以下那種節日呢？


A) 情人節
B) 農曆新年
C) 家人，朋友，或情人的生日
D) 聖誕節


我選的是。。。。

情人節

你其實是有點悶騷的，只是初到一個陌生環境，或是和不太熟悉的人在一起，你會顯得有點安靜、被動，不像平日那麼活潑。可是等到你完全掌控住環境的整體狀況後，就會展現出自己的本來面目，葷腥不忌，如魚得水，讓所有人都為你的大膽尺度驚駭不已。


P.S - font size problem has been taken into consideration ;) Just need some time to figure out how to get it bigger. Until then, ctrl + is my advice. lol.

說謊的人，要吞一千根針。。。

哎呀，不知不覺我這部落格又被文字埋沒了。。。不行不行!




說謊 (click for MV)　　
詞：施人誠/曲:李雙飛　

是有過幾個不錯對象 說起來並不寂寞孤單
可能我浪蕩 讓人家不安 才會 結果都陣亡
我沒有什麼陰影魔障 妳千萬不要放在心上
我又不脆弱 何況那算什麼傷 反正愛情不就都這樣

我沒有說謊 我何必說謊 妳懂我的 我對妳從來就不會假裝
我哪有說謊 請別以為妳有多難忘 笑是真的不是我逞強

我好久沒來這間餐廳 沒想到已經換了裝潢
角落那窗口 聞得到玫瑰花香 被妳一說是有些印象

我沒有說謊 我何必說謊 妳知道的 我缺點之一就是很健忘
我哪有說謊 是很感謝今晚的相伴 但我竟然有些不習慣

我沒有說謊 我何必說謊 愛一個人 沒愛到難道就會怎麼樣
別說我說謊 人生已經如此的艱難 有些事情就不要拆穿

我沒有說謊 是愛情說謊 它帶妳來 騙我說 渴望的有可能有希望
我沒有說謊 祝妳做個幸福的新娘
我的心事請妳就遺忘
------------------------------------------------


最近我的hito歌曲是林宥嘉的[說謊]。詞寫得很生活化，但是因為這樣，就覺得特別有畫面，也有很多句真是唱到我的心聲。很多人說分手時最爛的理由之一是"因為我個人的問題"，"是我自己不夠好"，等諸如此類的答案，也因此會懷疑提分手的人是不是在說謊。但是，真的，何必呢? 都到要分手的關頭了，又何必有什麼隱藏? 所以當其他人誤會這種很誠實的答案，我會一頭霧水，也有點氣。明明就是因為我有問題或你有問題才會要提分手的呀，笨蛋! "反正愛情不就都這樣" 唄! 沒有輸贏，有失有得。

哈哈，如果有一天我對男友提分手，而要分手的原因是"因為愛情說謊" 不曉的他會哭還是笑呢? 哈哈，想到那畫面就覺得有趣。


and for fun, since lately I've been rewatching Winter Sonata :)

人啊!

唉，人真是世界上最可怕的動物。每個人都深不可測，簡直跟天氣一樣的不穩定! 今天好像把一位朋友惹毛了；對他真抱歉。好像人與人之間的誤會真的都是因為溝通不良而造成的。希望他不會太生氣。。。不過，也因此看出他真的是一個很有風度的男生。雖然我感覺出他很生氣，但他沒有失控或對我發飆，就很禮貌的說[不再耽誤你的時間]而掛掉電話，讓他在我的心裡大加分。

要忙的事實在太多了。。慢慢的我快要失去意力了。。。還只是因為我想逃避明天將來臨的挑戰? 哈哈，認清自己吧，張乃心! 你就是個膽小鬼，怕挑戰。要賭得實在太多了。這些包袱反而讓我拼了命的逃避挑戰，還是是自信的問題。。。? 嗯，大概是後者，因為我實在對明天的表現一點信心都沒有。不過，豁出去了! 反正最糟的結果就是考的跟之前一樣差唄。表面上啥都敵擋的了，心裡卻ㄔㄨㄚˋ到不行。也好，趁這個暑假，練自己的膽量，變勇敢。覺得好驚訝，那天跟華談心，她卻把我看得透透。我真的那麼容易了解嗎?! 哼。

不能再耽誤溫習的時間了。。。祝自己明天考試順利!加油，加油加油!

累，累，還是累

這學期真是忙的讓人喘不過氣來。工作完，回到家，覺得好累，但是身體仍然在奮鬥，害我睡不著。又突然覺得想哭的感覺。。卻少了那個哭點，真掃興。其他人都出去了，剩我一個人，今晚又特別安靜。。真是裝憂鬱的好時機!*苦笑*

想變成隱形人
想要有個溫暖的擁抱
想要在陽明山上，聞著那新鮮空氣，望著星星
想念我的machi
想念一家團圓的那些笑聲
想看雪
想跟憂鬱，孤獨做朋友
想聽著雨滴答滴的聲音

突然好想你。

newfound privileges

Forward we go in our search for the best drinks in Austin! Cuattro's definitely isn't on the list though. lol. I ordered the West Campus Cooler and although it looked pretty (it had a beach on the bottom! No clue what it was though), it definitely did not taste good. Reminded me of a drink I had at my 21st celebration. I'm thinking it's the rasberry alcohol that I don't like (flavored rum perhaps?). But they definitely serve the best tacos I've ever had in my entire life. Dead serious. The cilantro in the Paula's Pork Verde tacos gives it a completely new life. Add on top of that a hint of fresh lime and your taste buds are going bonkers. Originally, I was gonna order the Tuna taco. I wavered though at the title "Tuna," thinking that it'd be canned tuna. But no, this was maguro tuna that was used, perfectly seared and a beautiful red color. They also had a jalapeno ranch sauce that complemented the fish beautifully and avocado. My only complaint? The portion was waay too small!

Ugh...I really need to remember to keep my camera with me at all times. Meanwhile, some more eye candy :)

OOH YEAH BABY~

Finally, this day has come! *tear* I never thought it would. *sniff sniff* Time warp in 1....

2..........



3!





Ugh...sry for the bad pics. I had too much faith in my little sister. And sadly the ones I took by myself were better. lol. So anyways, the other day I was going through my closet looking for new clothes to wear to work instead of jeans (which I had been doing everyday and was getting very boring.) I found some new clothes that I never could wear because they were supposed to be "motivating" pieces. By some sudden enlightenment, I decided to try it on and what a wonderful surprise! ^_^

I feel empowered now :) Bring 'em on, boys :D

Camping!

Wow, I underestimated my little Nikon. I'm actually quite pleased with some of these pictures :)

So, we actually went camping. I don't know how we did it, but somehow we did. Man does it feel good to be back with civilization. It's actually quite a nice park because it's so close to Houston, yet so far! Subtracting mosquitoes and 100 degree heat from the picture, it was quite enjoyable to experience nature. It really reminded me of Dr. Seuss and his crazy made-up characters; except they weren't made-up! While exploring the lakes and other sites, from nowhere loud and shrill laughter would pop up. The whole time I was thinking, "Who the hell is laughing at us?!" I guess even the birds there found Asians going camping to be an amusing idea. lol. Also, no matter how you try to dress them up, alligators can never be cute. Sorry guys. And boy are raccoons greedy! Trying to snag my food before me, tchh.

At the Park there was also an observatory to see the stars. I must say, I have yet to experience such a starry night! It was beautiful...and I got to see Jupiter and its moons! It feels so weird that what I saw was light that happened, like, ten to the tenth million years ago. It existed practically when dinosaurs were around. Does that mean all the sunlight that we see now was from ten to the tenth million years ago? What a distorted reality. So much for "the present."


Reminder to self: Paint tomorrow.

rainbows

Today was a pretty bad day at work. I couldn't do anything right, was hungry, and my eyes hurt from staring at die (microchips). But seeing the rainbow cheered me up quite a bit :) Only sad that I didn't have my camera at hand to catch the moment. boo.

2ne1

Anyway, a follow up to the 2ne1 festivities. In loving memory of my life before turning 2ne1 and a commemoration of what is to-be. In no particular order.

21 Things To Do Before I Turn 31 (Originally published 8/12/2009)

1. Travel to Japan, Korea, and China.  (Accomplished in 2011, 2012)
2. Read through 唐詩三百首 in its entirety. Better yet, memorize at least 25.
3. Buy Daddy his dream car.
4. Get married.
5. Pay for a family vacation to Europe.
6. Be completely fluent in Korean.
7. Be completely fluent in Japanese.
8. Be able to afford a Miu Miu without chopping off an arm and a leg. (Semi-accomplished 2012; bought my Mulberry Alexa)
9. Sew a piece of clothing that I would wear.
10. Maintain weight at 115.
11. Maintain flexibility.
12. Learn at least one form of ballroom dance in entirety.
13. Find a career I like.
14. See real snow. (Accomplished in 2012 in Prague)
15. Go to a Shinhwa concert.
16. Find and realize my destiny and leave my Hello Kitty stamp on the Earth. YES, Hello Kitty lover Tiffany Chang was here! Maybe then can I overcome my fear of being forgotten.
17. Get over my phobia of large scale social events (aka learn how to network). GaHH...*shrinks into a corner* I get scared even at the thought of this!
18. Be bold, and confidence will naturally come.
19. Make one of my fortune cookie fortunes come true.
20. Stay passionate!
21. Be TiFF.

To change or not to change, that 'tis the question. While trying to think of 21 things to add to the list (yes, sad, it took me 3 whole days to come up with 21 things to add) I definitely felt this dilemma. Usually I only go through this crisis around New Year's haha. While I do want to change myself for the better, I realized that, you know, I DO love myself for who I am, despite my flaws. Call me narcisstic or whatever, but since I like myself, why change? But then again, I still feel unsatisfied with my life. Hence, the list. Hopefully, ten years from now, I'll love myself even more and grow to be an even more loveable tiff ^______^ Aja aja fighting, Tiffany Chang!

downtown fun

August 11th is definitely one of the longest days I've had in a long, long while. As the saying goes, save the best for last! And with my personality, the ending always has to have an oomph, right?

The first place we went to I felt a bit awkward since we were just standing there and there literally was no one else. It felt really weird seeing so many bars empty considering that every time I do see them they're always jam packed. Once Julie and the sisters came though it definitely picked up and got to be as fun as I had hoped for it to be. I felt really grateful that no one was being too forceful about how many drinks I had because that just would not have been fun. Oh, what wonderful memories! By 2 AM, I had downed 5 shots (or was it 6?), probably 6 cups of water, 3 cherries, and 1/2 a pizza. Compliments to Rrrrrrrrrrrapolio's!

So after having finally experienced "bar-hopping," I've come to the conclusion that I can only stand alcohol once in a blue moon. If you go too much, it feels like it just gets old and boring and the fun of it wears off. Plus the damage you do to your body makes it not worth it. Too much is, really, not fun. Last time I felt the negative effects it has on your throat, and this time I felt how uncomfortable it makes your stomach feel. 'Twas a crazy night! A very memorable 21st :) Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate with me!

back home

Wow...it's been practically a week since I've blogged! O_o Although I lasted only seven days of continuous blogging (or was it 6?) I'm still sticking with it! Since it's too hard to write everything down with pictures and stuff, this is the next best alternative. That reminds me of another thing to add to my shopping list when I go to Japan - a polaroid camera! I still really want one just because I can get pictures instantaneously and then write on them or write about them. Gives a more photo-diary kind of vibe to my entries, much like what I'm trying to imitate here.

I've found this awesome Japanese jazz band called "mouse on the keys." What a gem! Their music totally takes me back to Blue Notes in Taipei and that spontaneous feel that live Jazz performances give. Now I really want to try out The Elephant Room since it's rumored to be a good Jazz place.

Just got back from camping today and Houston. I can say (with confidence) that this was our most efficient trip to Houston. Went grocery shopping, got haircuts, bought bread, and ate out all in like a three hour time span. Still need to collect my thoughts on camping and upload pictures, so I'll wait on blogging about that. One thing I must say though, is that it feels nice to be back in modern civilization. With AC.

08.04

Ahhhh, a beautiful August day! Doesn't this picture just immediately cheer you up? :)

Whew! Worked long hours today, but it wasn't too bad; it went by pretty quickly. It's really weird though, a year or so later down the road, it's going to be me sitting in an office from 9-5 or whatever. I can definitely tell how disillusioning the white collar schedule is. How to break from the mundane? If that's gonna be my life for the next 50 or so years, I am scared.

On a brighter note, I'll be getting more money than I expected too since he wants me to work 3 days now instead of 2. Save save save! Although I don't know how well this limit shopping plan is going....somehow I'm still spending quite a bit hehe. Which reminds me I need to record my purchases today :)

08.03

Finally used a sample today that I've had for ages, so I'll just do a review here.

Missha Detoxifying Peeling Gel

I was getting kind of concerned about what exfoliator I should get after I finish the Envie De Neuf one. It's really gentle (the base is aloe) and I can feel/see the dead skin coming off of my skin, unlike the other face wash products that claim to exfoliate with their microbeads. This Missha does the exact same job at a lower cost. It has a nice, soothing fruity smell, but it doesn't look as clear as the Envie, although it applies very smoothly. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with it since it seems to do its job. Will consider purchasing in Korea :)

On the other hand, I think I have been a bit disappointed in DHC's products. With all the rave about the Deep Cleansing Oil I expected it to exfoliate like Missha & Envie while being able to see the makeup residue coming off. However, it doesn't do any of that. I do like how it takes off the Shiseido sunscreen and doesn't make my face feel so sticky and clogged. But still kinda weary of how effective it is on taking off my makeup. Then I tried the Eye Makeup Remover sample and 1) it smells gross 2) it's as liquid as water, causing half of it just spilling out, and 3) failed at removing my mascara.

Now that I'm so set on going to Japan, I've been trying very hard to limit my shopping so that I can go crazy over there. (Successfully evaded a tarte cosmetics temptation! ^_^) I kept thinking that the Maybelline eyeshadows that I bought were really crappy, but actually I liked the effect I got today when I used a smudge-y eyeliner. Perhaps I was too quick to judge :P

Money 101

哇哈哈! I'm RICH! ahahaha. Not really. I really should reconsider minoring in finance, considering my money management skills are so terrible. Seriously, people must get stupider and lazier the older they get. When I was little I used to religiously clean my room every week, keep all my receipts, and record every single penny that I spent. But now, ha ha ha......Did I really spend that much money? ^^;; Hmm...I don't think I've cleaned my room in months. Oops!

So after a random cleaning spurt, I've actually sat down and attempted to calculate how much money I've made so far, and I must say that I'm quite pleased! Although I can't really pinpoint where all of it is/went since my banking accounts still seem to be quite low. I really need to do more rigorous bookkeeping lol.

08.01

MMmmmm. Feels like my blog has been flooded with text lately, so thought I should add some eye candy to balance it out heehee. If only I had a pic of them taken by myself though. *sigh* Just two random ones that popped into my head...no bias intended haha.

Ugh. A little disappointed in myself today because I gave up on War and Peace and compromised (or more like fell into temptation) with the Sparknote version. Perhaps my brain has become rather dull after two months of abandonment, but it was very hard for me to keep up with all the characters and their relations, making the whole story very confusing. I really want to try to get to know Tolstoy though as he seems to be a very intriguing author. Actually, I really like how he builds up the characters in War and his style. But, alas, his novels are waaay too long and intimidating haha. Guess Anna Karenina will have to wait since it's equally long.

Well, finally it's August! It always feels like it's so far away, yet it's already here. Really excited about our camping trip this coming weekend too; plus Daddy will be in town. :)

A New Beginning

Finally, the Chinese summer camp has 完美的落幕。才剛處的有感情就要分開會有點不捨，但也很驕傲，因為自己有始有終的完成了一件事。就像老師說的，我們都是survivor! 為自己鼓掌! 現在也重新有了動力和熱忱去完成其它的事了 :)

So today was the first day at my job. Before I felt a little unconfident because so many thoughts were popping into my head- what if I can't do the stuff they want on Excel? What if I screw up, as I am so prone to? But now that the first day is over, I feel a lot better. It's just simple lab stuff; I can pretend like I'm 西英 and be the cool lab gal. And it's really free. I guess I really do work better under a free environment where I can organize my own time. But it really is weird working in a place where basically everyone's a guy. Not to mention an engineer, too, which is a bit intimidating. Oh well, it'll be good resume experience, plus more money to go to Japan. Two birds with one stone! woot!

Looking forward to Saturday. A completely blank schedule. mwahahaha!

Summer list

What's left of the Summer To-Do List:

• Finish War and Peace -By Sept 1


• Make Tech Connects website - By Aug. 16


• Clean room - When move into apt permanently


• ......?

will add more as things pop up to mind.

Feeling very uninspired today...Austin needs a MoMA. Blehh, I'll just settle with Blanton I suppose. And since I'm reading War and Peace, Picasso's Guernica was the only art that I could remember that seemed suitable. I must say, I haven't read such a challenging piece since probably Shakespeare. Very tempted to break out my Post-It Notes and start annotating while reading Tolstoy's epic work because it truly is epic- so many characters and connections to keep up with that it's mind boggling!

A BOGO-FROGO day!

Today is a very, very good day.
Let me tell you about it, if I may?

It was really hot,
So hot that I thought I would rot!
But that's OK,
Because today turned out to be a buy-one-get-one-free day!

Like Christmas and Easter,
These kinds of holidays aren't very eager
For they are dully meager
in the number of times that they come hither.

While walking and talking
My sister started mocking Quizno's
Because it sure was being a bimbo.
In the end it turned out alright,
for we were right- it's Buy One Get One Free Day!

Then we stopped by Jamba,
And while dancing the samba,
The mamba yelled"Buy one get one free, and be a happy bee!"

So we bought one and got one free,
And boy, what a relief it was to not all be on me!


:D heehee. In an odd Dr. Seuss mood today keke. Maybe I got the disease from Horton lol.

那就這樣吧!

哎，這真是一首超讚，超man的歌呀! 聽了潘裕文和孫自佑唱了以後就記得以前這是我最愛的歌之一。歌詞寫得實在是太好了。有一位網友的形容讓我感同身受。這就是男人最後的風度! 雖然百般的不願，但還是很瀟灑，很有風度的送走女生。也要謝謝天底下的男人啦，如此包容著咱們女人的任性。好想送這首歌給XXX。你看! 分手就是要這樣的，不用那麼小氣。在愛情裡本來就沒有輸贏，所以何必搞得那麼不愉快呢，真是的。太沒風度了吧! 在擇偶時，當然外表會考慮一下，但比起外表，這種瀟灑和大方才是男人最有魅力的地方!

動力火車 // 那就這樣吧

不要哭了嗎 該哭的人是我吧
你都坦白愛上了他 我有什麼辦法
我也同意啦 既然你提出想法
我們不要拖拖拉拉 就從明天開始吧

那就這樣吧! 在愛都曲終人散啦
那就分手吧 在愛都無須掙扎
不要再問我 怎捨的拱手讓他
你走吧 到了要記得要給我通電話

那就這樣吧 在愛都要sayonara
在給抱一下 聞一聞你的長髮
不要再哭啦 快把眼淚擦一擦
這樣吧 再愛我有緣的話


已經快到了夏天的尾聲，我也馬上要像我的美麗的暑假蕭瀟灑灑的揮揮手道別。唉，真是不捨呀! 那就這樣吧! 再給他玩個三天三夜再說，哈哈 ^___^

Confession

剛看完王牌，而碰巧這次的主題是暗戀。最後他們配給高山峰的是一位很可愛的胖妹。她的告白讓我好感動，也勾起了我埋藏在心裡的種種回憶。哎，好久好久沒有那種warm fuzzies，因為太幸福心會溢出愛的那種感覺。真希望有個人闖進我過於平靜且已經涼掉了的茶杯裡，喚回我心裡睡太久了的悸動。通常大家都覺得接受別人的告白才是最幸福的，但那胖妹的又幸福又緊張的表情和心情讓我體會到原來當告白者才是最幸福的! 祝天底下有情人終成眷屬!

Suburbia

Boring in blue, sepia, black and white...even with a purple-pink sky! Now that's sad.



Welcome to suburbia :)

宅女之夏

Decided I'm going to copy Jenn and keep a photo diary, since obviously journal-ing didn't work out too well. *sigh* This is when I still have that urge to get a Polaroid to have instantaneous pictures. Pity they stopped making them. heehee....I <3 staying at home. Hobo-style. Ooooh yea baby! And btw, for those in Asia, you should definitely try to get your hands on this bang holder thing. It's awesome and really cheap!

Another typical sunny Texas summer day and as usual, there are many things that I should be doing, yet am not. Old habits shall never change haha. Seriously...imagine a non-procrastinating tiff. Ha! You can't! 'Cause then that would not be tiff. lol. Anyway, trying to ease myself from dramas and take up reading again. Starting out with two Chinese books that I borrowed from the library and then hopefully will move onto Tolstoy or other classics. Currently on page 13.

Better. Get. Reading! <3
