Snapshots for today
Running some tests with my camera, some interesting pictures came out, all of them are quite blurry, but I like them anyway, I probably should do it more.
Brave enough to face myself
" An idle mind is a devil's workshop. "
Can't remember who said that, or these are just some random words came out from nowhere, anyways, this makes me started to think about my recent lifestyle.
I certainly haven't do much thoughts compare to the old days, I know I'm not content with the life I have now, but there are some specific moment when I kinda want to quit fighting for the status quo, be content with things as they are, then I realize this is absolutely not the allowable thougths I can have, especially at present stage, then I would feel bad for myself for being such a irresponsible person. yes, these are the courses I go through quite often these days, to write them down, I feel like I'm looking at a mirror now, I can see thought myself so clearly and distincly, all the weakness have been revealed without a tiny bit of mercy, now I know it's time for me to make excuse no more, and it's time to face myself, all the good and bad, it's my life and no one can keep company with me but me, be brave, be graceful and be confident.

Cold and warm in the same time
It is the season-changing time, leaves start to fall off the tree, the warm sunshine and cold wind all come at the same time. I feel like there is some memory about this season, and have been wondering about that for two days, still nothing came into my mind. I think I spend too much time to recall those past experiences, is it a sign saying I'm old?? cuz only old people prefer to think of the past instead of anything present, as there is not much things to do or to accomplish for their age now, but I'm still at my late twenty something... hummm, I just got myself the answer, I should stop whining now.
On my way back to the office, I stepped on a chestnut, yup, the time for chestnut comes already, I love this little nut fruit, actually among all kinds of nuts, chestnut is the only kind of nut I'm favor of.

Another cute item caught my eyes, wait for it wait for it.....yup!! it is a conker stool, I have a serious favor with chairs, stools, something like that, this little conker stool came into my sight today, what can I say, I love the simple design, I love the chestnut brown color, I love handmade....

Things I don't like ...
1) Trying to remember something like names or person or places, but no matter how hard I tried I just couldn’t recall it. God I hate when this happens.
2) Someone call me when I’m busy enjoying my meal, errrr, sometimes I even decided to ignore some of those not-so-important incoming calls.
3) Text someone, but never get a reply, well to be honest, sometimes I do the same thing, sigh…
4) An expectant dinner plan got cancelled all in a sudden, what’s worse, I have already kept myself hungry for hours.
5) Crave for one particular type of food, only turns out to be sold out in the supermarket.
6) Internet and TV went out in the same time whilst no books within reach.
7) Feel the call of nature in the middle of the night.
8)
9) Wearing high heels on the bus.
10) Men wearing golden necklace.
11) Tears out of eyes every morning during autumn season.
The movement for skin smooth
Totally six days' rest... (I didn't manage to catch the bus on Friday morning, that led to a absence from work...lol...), my very first time, I swear!! it is sooooo unfair that I got up at 6am but ending with absence, I blame on the shuttle bus. The thing is that I havenot get up so early for a long long time, and I dozed and was sleepy all day long, that was not quite an efficient day at all...
Pimples keep coming out in the recent few days, first in the forehead, then near the lips, then some on the cheeks, finally there comes an intolerable one right between two brows. Now I decided that I got to do something to deal with them, or my face just gonna turn to be a disaster, more importantly, I have a meeting next Monday morning, as the old saying goes "adding fuel to the flames"... considering all the reasons writen or unwriten above, I began to search through internet for some solutions, all of them came out quite the same pattern
first: change your recipe, staritng to eat health food, avoiding sharp or pungent flavor like pepper
second: deep clean, wash your face with proper cleaning product and make sure to clean up every corner of your skin especially T-zone.
well, I give up the first choice, I might have mentioned before that I'm a sweet tooth, but except for that, I'm also a spicy tooth (not sure if it is the right word), you can just tell me to kill myself instead of giving up pepper, besides, I am a fun of greasy food like fried chicken, and junk food like chips and hamburger, I know I know, they are no good for my health, but without them I just don't feel like alive, so the answer to No. one choice is an absolutely NO. Then I came to the second choice, it is simple and easily executable, for a lazy girl like me it it perfect, so I began to wash my face extremely carefully both morning and evening, it has been only one and a half days now, I can't tell if my skin is improved, but I'll keep update, just to satisfy my potential readers' curiosity.
When I'm doing this skin improvement experiment, another thing came into my mind, there are always some lecturers telling us about the unthinkable charm of subconsciousness from time to time, some people even use this to lose weight, the reportorial result turns out to be desirable (not sure to fully believe it or not though). So here is what I'm thinking, I should try it, by keep telling myself subconsciously that my skin will be as smooth as a baby in no time, who knows, if someone can use this to lose weight, why can't I give it a try, it deserves a shot, am I right?? I think so.
Watch out, the movement for skin smooth started.

My mid-autumn festival
It has been a busy and full of fun holidays, first I went to my aunt's place to spend vacation together with her, we haven't seen each other for almost 10 months, I blame myself for not visiting her for so long, my aunt is a good cooker, my excuse is that she is much more busy than me, besides, she has to work during night time, not good for health, I know...
As I mentioned a few days ago, I had my second date request during my vacation, we went to Seoul Design Fair, it is a platform to showcase all the excellent design ideas, to my big surprise, not only have they layed out all of their fabulous ideas, but also they had their imaginative ideas to the actual product, so the visitors could understand better and have eyes and brains feast.
I like this EcoPot allot, it is a food garbage processor, after putting food refuse in this machine, it compress and dehydrate to a pellet, it is such a good way to deal with rotten food, this is my one of favourite~

The end of summer
Even though the temperature is still high, short pants, mini skirts and sandals all over the street, I still get the feeling that summer is gonna end soon. I'm not a huge fun of summer actually, maybe the only thing I like about summer season is the chance to eat hundreds of ice gruel, there are tons of cold drink shops and bakeries serve uncountable kinds of ice gruel, the fancy ones, the extravagant ones and the simplex yet yummy ones, I like all kinds of them as long as there are ice slush and icecream in it, drooling...
The day after tomorrow is mid-autumn festival, so I've got three days off starting from tomorrow, unlike last year, I didn't make any plan at all this time, three days just don't sound long enough for me to plan for anything anymore, I blame this negative thoughts on the advancing of my age, I'm not saying I'm old, but definitely not so young to do anything like going to a club and having a crazy night anymore. Ahem, or probably I should just admit it, that would be so much easy.
Anyways, since it is almost the end of summer, I'm thinking of having something with the theme of summer days, the only thing I have in mind now is berries, and among all kind of berries, what can be more representative than strawberries, so yes, strawberry is my answer for this year. So here goes the most summery fruit, hope all you dolls enjoy it.

To avoid or to face, such an obvious answer
Instead of being retreatism, I've decided to face the truth, yes, I failed on Samsung even without the chance to experience a real face-to-face job interview, it is harsh to me I have to admit, no matter how many times I told myself that "hope for the best, prepare for the worst", when it is time to face the unfavorable result, the disappointment from deep inside just wouldnot let me go. The taste of setbacks isn't the same bitter as the decoction of medicinal ingredients, after the decoction, I would get a rock candy afterwards, so the suffering didn't seem too bad, but now I've become an adult fully, mature enough to endure the frustration feeling and face the fact, with or without a sugar sweety.
After one whole hour of disanimation, I decided to cheer myself up, the failure itself isn't a horrible thing, be aware to not live in it forever, find the shortcomings and deficiencies, improve youself, that's the right thing and only thing to do. So now I will figure out all the causes of this failure, and decide my next move, maybe I'm a little bit autosadism, one failure just wouldn't be enough for me, and I cannot let myself live at the comfort zone forever, accept the fact, learn to be strong, be determined, and move on.
I need somehing to set myself free, maybe alcohol would do it, yeah right, who am I kidding, that never has been an option for me.

Things I love...glass bottles
I like glass bottles, wait... no, I love them, I remember when I was a little girl, I used to collect medicine bottles, the one used to contain parenteral solutions, those small size bottles are so cute, no I just hope they still use the same bottles, so that I can get some from the hospital, even if I have to pretend to be sick.
I wish I could have my own place soon, not to purchase a house of course, but a place I could settle down for years, a place I see myself satisfied in it, it's not easy as it sounds though. Anyways, when I find my ideal place, I'm gonna start to collect all kinds of bottles, place them on the sill of windows, put sweet-sented flowers in them during summer time, let the air in my house full of fragrance of flowers, it's an ease in my heart to just think about it. Until that day comes, #%@*##%&#...(means I'm working on my vocabulary, hawhawhawhaw).
Unexpected phone call
This time I didn't exaggerate at all, it is turely an absolutely non-expected call, well I probably should start from the beginning, he's the guy I met from a blind date, my first blind date so far to be exact, long story short, a girl met a boy, they had dinner then a little drink together, they tried to get to know the other, but in the end, they didn't hit it off, they said goodbye and wished good luck to each other, then they became strangers ever after. Humm, at least this is my side of the story, and I thought we had an agreement on that, bla-bla-bla, he called me today, two weeks after the date in case you are curious, to invite me to a design show in Seoul, god knows what's in his mind, maybe he thought we could become friends or what so ever, anyways fine by me I guess, my camera has been dumped in the corner gathering dust since I moved into this new place, this is a change to pick up my shooting techniqe if I may say so, and since it's not a date, I could wear my short pants instead of mini skirts I suppose. Always thinking of the positive side!!

Whom I'm gonna get married with is...
the man who puts on apron and cooks a big meal for me occasionally
the man who grows me the most beautiful garden in the world that all the neighbors would be jealous of
the man who does BBQ outside
the man who paints every wall with my favorite color
the man who is the key man among his friends
the man who takes care of himself because he knows that we need him every single minute
the man who comes home on time to have dinner with family
and yes, we will be a big family live happily ever after...

Recall of the faraway house
This picture reminds me of the old house I had lived for almost 16 years, from a baby to a teenager girl. My mom always tells me about the old times story, how she met my dad, what was her life looked like when she was a young girl, and all the little details after she got married to my dad, their honeymoon to Beijing, how my dad and my grandpa built the house together, I remember that she said my dad spent almost all his after work spare time to build the house just before I was born, he wanted us to be able to move in before little baby came out. I liked the house a lot, so many wonderful things happended there, going to the back yard to stole soya beans, catching dragonfly every summer, wating for the cherry to grow big and red enought to eat, treasure hunt in the storage occasionally, there were so many interesting things in there, I thought I could stay there for the whole day without boredom. After we moved out, I actually went back a few times just to see the house outside of the front gate, wondering whether the new owner had treat it well, to my big disappointment, they cut all the fruit trees, the plum tree, the crabapple tree and the cherry tree, even the grap vine was gone. I tell myself that one day I will repurchase the house, I know every single bricks, every spot around that place, plus incalculable memories. It has been so long since my last visit to that little hometown, almost 3 years I suppose, not to mention thinking of the house, seeing this picture, all my old time happiness and sprightliness flood out like the plants bloom in spring time that no matter how strong power you got, there is still nothing you can do about it, the only thing I can do for now is typing, typing and typing, to record all my feelings, my eager for the young version of me, puerility, lively and happy.
Guess I am a sweet tooth
Even though I just finished my meal, the eager for cupcakes still wouldn't go way, well I should probably be careful of those calories, but images won't do any harm to it, am I right??
Feel full and satisfy? or even more hungry? hahaha, both are my intent...
