c’est la vie

A good friend of mine is having an unhappy relationship.  She said, sadly, that she thinks she is very silly to love someone who hurts her heart again and again. 

I don’t know if there is anything known as clever in a relationship.

Perhaps:

- clever is you choose someone who loves you more than you love him / her;

- clever is you can keep one-eye-open and one-eye-close when you find out that your other half is dishonest to you;

- clever is you know how to use little tactics to keep his / her heart;

- clever is you can use "strategies" to win over your "enemies";

- clever is you can change a dandy into a family man…

I don’t have an answer.  Because I am not a clever woman.

My favourite gingerbread latte is back!  Unfortunately Starbucks is getting further and further away from me.

If I haven’t shared this with you before……

如果有一天　汽車與飛機轉眼再不足夠

別害怕　你擁有的　天賦的　一對雙腳　伴你可漫遊

如果有一天　你屋裡傢俬一旦再不擁有

別害怕　那溫暖的　家裡的　成員歡笑　伴你於床頭　心樂透

#人的快樂　在乎學曉等候

命裡不歸於你　你便毅然地放開手

越抱著只會越嬲　知足一世你便富有

@人善天不欺　簡單一個道理怎麼(竟)不看透

任君多美麗富裕　在最後平頭每種因果是有天修

人善天不欺　你懂得以後掌握心中節奏

只要食得落　睡得好　天天裡笑得開口　便(就)已足夠

Repeat # @

如果有一天　戰爭與飢荒　充斥全個地球

別害怕　你心我心　手與手　連成一線為你可分憂　好朋友

I talked about fung shui the other day.  Although I have a few fung shui stuff at home (no tortoise!), I have no idea what these things are for.  However, I do go to fortune teller (things like 八字 or 紫微斗數) occassionally.

We always want to know our future, even though we might not be able to change it.  I have just read the following from a book call "The Alchemist":

"Then, one day, the oldest seers he had ever sought out had asked why the camel drive was so interested in the future.

"Well… so I can do things," he had responded.  "And so I can change those things that I don’t want to happend."

"But then they wouldn’t be part of your future," the seer had said.

"Well, maybe I just want to know the future so I can prepare myself for what’s coming."

"If good things are coming, they will be a pleasant surprise," said the seer.  "If bad things are, and you know in advance, you will suffer greatly before they even occur."

We all live in the present, not in the future.  Quite right, isn’t it?

Although I sometimes look like a witch (not a bitch), I am not particularly superstitious.

A friend wanted to date a girl.  In every aspect he thinks he has a good chance.  On an important date, the girl told my friend that they are only good friends, and will always be.  My friend was sad.

After a few days, my friend told me that he use to have a "tortoise" under his bed, for the purpose of attracting females (招桃花).   His mother turned it up side down when she did the cleaning.

He thought that was the reason.  The girl called him again after he returned the tortoise to the original position…

Another friend is going to buy a new car.  He was happy after doing some calculations.  He said, "hey, this car number is very good for me.  I will be really lucky then."

I don’t know how a tortoise or a car number would change our lives.  But if I am really depressed, it’s no harm doing something silly, perhaps.
