don' go looking for things, just suit yourself and live your own style of life and things will come around.

addictions

Have you ever been addicted? I have.
I get addicted to many things. I get addicted to surrealism. I get addicted to stories, stories that have very predictable endings and stories that end unexpectedly.
Eventhough, half way, I already know the result of a novel, I still follow it to see if it contains details that will surprise me. Even if every clue points to extreme similarity, I will still follow through. there are many people who can watch a movie more than 4 times. I believe i must be one of them. But that doesn't apply to every movie.
IT seems that some of us have a high threshold for monotomy.
Some people look for change, look for solutions, look for perfections, are you one of those? But you can't be completely, because the world does not contain plain black and white.
Beware of the hooks that entrance you. Unfortunately, sometimes, the art of living a peaceful life is one of those hooks. Maybe the art of advancing is something else.

Free time

I nipped on my food and watched both Harry Potter 5 and 6, 5 on youtube, and 6 on baidu.

then I started on the new series of Let's Watch Meteor Rain, a mandarin drama that only had 6 episodes uploaded. If there were like 24 episodes uploaded, I probably would have watched the entire thing. It was very good acting.

It made me want to read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows again. The ideas embedded in these dramas/ movies were pretty addictive. The themes of love, courage, friends and you against the dark forces, pride, self-esteem, determination and self-respect were very nicely portrayed.

But when it comes down to it 80% of Hollywood drama/ Billboard songs have content theme of love in there, it kind of makes me nuts sometimes. Like a lot of Beyonce and other artist's songs, it's a lot of stuff about love relationships. It drives me crazy how art can be purely made based on the same central emotion/ feeling over and over again.

hates and loves

I hate the noise the buses make when the drivers are stomping on breaks at full power. it reminds me of the dentist drilling someone's teeth, and my teeth hurt when i hear the sound.

I love love sleep, and taking naps.

I saw on the news about a criminal in hiding, and of course when they caught him his looks were drastically altered, he grew a beard, he tanned, his hair was unshaven, all for his purpose of hiding his true identity.

I wonder what it is like to live one's life in hiding, always on the run, but sometimes I do feel that I am the outsider in my life, watching it from a distance, with a passive attitude, is that the same thing as running away??

My draft and my despair

So I was working on my short story fiction for late and got writer's block.
I proceeded to walk towards the sofa downstairs in the library I stayed at to take a nap.
And it was taken. there were two sofas there and it was around 2:30 and there, of course, were two able-bodied men asleep there. One was wearing a doctor in waiting--a resident wearing his special blue hospital outfit.
You think they don't need sleep, right? those doctors, apparently not.
He was turning around and I looked straight around to transmit my strong desire to take his place. But being half-asleep and his eyes half closed , I didn't think he took notice.

So I walked towards the leathery sofas and settled there. Except it was the most uncomfortable thing ever and I felt bad for the student who was studying next to the area cause I must have yawned loudly five times, until I decided to forfeit my wish to take a nap, got up from the sticky sofa and turned away, not before giving the sleepy resident a very dazed and inquisitive look.
I guess everyone has his lazy side.

Hey!!

IT was raining just awhile ago, pouring
and sunny again, in a couple minutes,
These are like the mood swings that come and go-you can be agitated, angry, then peaceful and serene, then sensitive and shy, emo, stressed and gloriously elated/crazily happy.
Days are divided into periods, periods of your emotional display.

I think I feel thankful at the moment,
I'm thankful for what? for many things, friends that make you laugh and be yourself, who give up parts of their time to help you, to spend time with you, who know your faults and your problems but still appreciate the way you are; for family who are there to support you, occasionally, and who are always your last back up plan, there for you to depend and lean on, however inconvenient it may be.

I'm also thankful for

Immanuel

, for the people that comes with open hearts to love, share, play, and forgive, for Hannah, Mike, Julie, and Anna, for the pastors and the kids.
In truth, there are a lot of role models in life, Let's follow them and be like them!
