Home
It rains again, not a surprise though. Just want to stay warm, near the fireplace. The rain crackles on the window, the fire whistpers, and the light. I need the light, the orange light, same as the one I saw many many years ago in the train, in the houses when I was in the train. I thought that is "home", the light the wamth of the light is home, and he is waiting for me!

Sore arms
My arms are still so sore. I was up to Grouse teaching skiing today. It is such a wonderful day, great snow and gorgeous view.
My student is a 16-year-old girl with CP. She has no enough strenth on her legs, so she could not walk. I did not ask what happened though. Three instructors were helping out including me and her parents were there too. So it is not hard to imagine how much work needed.
We used a long pole which she could hold on, each side held by one instructor and the third one holding the tether behind. It is really a work out for everybody. We had 10 runs at rope-tow. Her goal was 6 though. She was very excited and happy.
Lots of people on the mountain today, huge line-up at the lift; I only got one run after teaching. I did not want to wait at the line there, sooo many people.
Took the skyride back to my car, a guy was waiting for the spot. I gave them the ticket also, and told them it's a whole package. They were quite happy! But I guess somebody might not, I mean the park admininstrator. Who cares anyway, I do not think it is not right to save other's money in this case. It is supposed to be free parking:)

The ocean of
I was reading some old emails...I am surprised of life, which changes so fast, and unpredictable. Something happened, as if it was yesterday; some as if thousand year ago.
Something and somebody are so unforgettable. No matter what, no matter how hard you were hurt, how happy you were; no matter what, it is just unforgettable, simply.
Time is passing by, people meet and people miss. People happy, people sad. People insist and people give up. People love and cry. Sometimes I just could not believe that something ever happened. I was wondering if it was real and true? I was sure and I doubt it now.
I feel there is an ocean, clear blue and beautiful. I was in it, I was surfing the biggest wave; then suddenly I was drowned, the wave just took me in. I was falling and falling, no strength to fight. I was prepared for it, I knew I could die for it; but when it came, I still could not handle it.
I was drowned in the blue.

Value of life
It is a big topic, I guess. Had dinner at my friend's then had some tea and talked about or listened to the talk about "value of life". Yes, Life is beautiful!
Life is flying away as your fingers snapping. Life has different forms, some of which are unseen by eyes, but it doesn't mean they are not exsiting. The origins of life, I do not know and do not really care. But I know people are negligible compare to the universe.
What is the best way to live? Better understanding of life and be happy every day or every single moment.
Months drain into a year, a lifetime of people is a season change of plants. Appreciation for life is enjoy the life as much as I can, not to waste it and do not take everything for granted!

A touch
Tuesday, Jan. 31 is my first day to work, because I called in sick on Monday. When stepping in my office, I saw some beautiful tulips on my desk and a card! It is a touch! A co-worker put them there for me for Chinese new year!
I love tulips, I love the aromas of the sweetness, and the color is my favorite too, which means prosperity. Flowers are from a female friend at work who loves flower too.
The joy and warmth are full of my heart. What else I expect? I have good friends and sweet co-workers; people around are just so nice to me.

Spring Festival
Jan. 28th, 2006 was Chinese New Year Eve, also called as Spring Festival. People asked me how I celebrated it. I went skiing that day, then got together with a few friends for dinner (Dumplings...) and watched a very traditional celebration show. A few other friends went to a gay club that night to celebrate a friend's birthday. Friend told me that the night club did count-down for the Chinese new year too.
I miss the celebration in China honestly, here no matter what, it is different; although you could feel the atmasphere in some Chinese supermarkets, also heard some fireworks that night. The only same thing is that lots of people in the temple that evening, you can not imagine how many people there! I did not go that evening this year though, I made it up the second day of the new year.
Spring is not far any more after the Festival!

It is sad
Talked to a "friend" after new year. He asked me what I want? I told him that I want to find a guy that I love and loves me, we can get old together, he can hold my hands all the way down the road of life; and I love him all my heart and my soul, same as him.
I did not know how to tell him that I just could not "continue" or "start" with him, because in my heart, there is somebody and is a dream, so that I do not have a spot for him. It is sad. He said it is so sad for him, because he had higher expectation than me, because he thought I might be the one. I felt sorry, very sorry for the thing.
I know I could just try, try to know him, give him or myself sometime. And why not, actually I like him? But, but...too bad!

Me
Suddenly feel so sad, so down. What is wrong with me, a girl always smiling, always find a way to cheer up? Where is she? I know it is just a temperary thing, but I still feel bad about that, worse than the fact feeling sad. I am mad at myself for this.
I so need a vacation or some days off, I guess my brain works so hard that I feel so tired easily.

Wonderful world
"I see trees are green...I see skies are blue and clouds are white...The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky...I see friends shaking hand, say how do you do...What a wonderful world!"
What a wonderful world! But if without love, what a world it is?

Wine
I love wine since I was young. There were some beautiful Chinese poems from hundreds of years ago, talking about wine, of course Chinese wine; I read many of them and not sure if it is a reason why I like wine a lot. Hero loves wine and beauty, which is very traditional Chinese thing:)
I love wine, but I could not drink much, what a pity. I tried to make some herbal wine myself before which I believe very healthy. I made some cherry wine and blackberry wine here in Canada with a friend together before too. I love the smell and the atmasphere about wine, the colour and the taste.
The other day, I bought a book which is about how to make fruit wine yourself. I just love this book. In spring, Blueberry wine, cherry wine, peach wine, pineapple wine, rose wine, mint wine; Summer, Lychee wine, pear wine,plum wine, lavender wine, jasmine wine; in fall and winter, apple wine, strawberry wine, ginger wine; different wine different season, then you will be healty and beautiful all year long! If DIY and give it to friends, it is so cool!

AquaLibra
It is a softdrink, which I tried at a co-worker's place. Then I looked all over the market places, but I could not find it, out of stock! I then searched the web and talked to the importer and found it in a very special health food store that was recommended by the carrier:) It is just a softdrink, yes, I know it. Nobody coaxed me, I just love the smell and the taste of it.....
"You must really like it." "Yes, right!"

Things during Blog-Absence
It has been a while, yes, since I wrote something last time, it was last year in 2005. Hehe... It is not that I had nothing to write, but I had too much in my mind and did not know where to start. Many things happened in less than a month.
My ex-BF left Vancouver, but asking me again to move to US with him. He asked me if I want to be a housewife:) I was joking with him, "Are you going to support me?" He said, "Sure, I can; now I earned enough money." I was surprised that I was joking with him about that, also more surprised that he said so......Anyway, the good thing about us is that we are still friends, which is kind of against what people was talking about.
I went to Taboo show with my girlfriend recently, which is yearly event and it was my second time. Seeing so many private things being sold in the boothes, I did feel shy at the beginning. The neat thing about this year is that we found something very special and funny-DIY your own dildo. LOL.
Vancouver is such a beautiful and friendly city! More events are coming! Dine Our Vancouver started already, will be a more than a week long event. Friend reseaved two restaurants, one is Italian for 4 and another one is our favorite lamb from last food festival for two gals:) We love great food! Then wine festival is coming after that.
Of course, I have been heading up to the mountains skiing. However I was sick after skiing last Saturday, got a fever and sick certificate. I finally call in sick with official proof! I did not mean I could not get those proof for sick leave, I just do not usually go to a doctor:) After a few days off and did my errands during off days, I did feel better and will be better and better!
And better!
