A dash of wicked passion

A sudden rush of adrenalin
Is it really love
Or is it just lust
Or a desire
To want what you don't have
To want what others have
Such feelings are just momentary
Beware, do not be tempted
Be faithful
Be patient
For your time will come

Part of the family

Just finish watching Marley and Me on my laptop. Took me 3 days to watch it since my schedule is super tight this week with classes, work and tech rehearsals that could drag long till midnight. Anyway, Marley and Me is just a regular family drama but it touches my heart because it talks about a dog and just not any dog but a pet close to home. Seeing Marley being picked out from the bunch as the "clearance puppy". And from being the uncontrollable dog to being part of the family. It is scenes like this that touch my heart. My family has a cat too and she is called Bebee. I've seen her grown from a kitty to a beauty. I bathed her, fed her, played with her. Made her exercise on the treadmill when I was too lazy to. Going to bed with her and most of all being greet by her screams in the morning. I missed all those times. I haven't been home for 3 years now and it is a long time. She wouldn't be able to remember me anymore but I will always love her. Hopefully I get to go home soon and spend time with her =)

p.s. To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered

east meets west

This is really amusing. I thought only people in Asian countries wash their shoes and put it out to dry. Guess what? Someone actually left their shoes to dry on top of a fence here in San Jose California.

p.s. Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers

Meaning of color

Sunny day 4th day in a row. I love the California sunshine. But this humid weather is just a little too much for spring. Feels like summer instead. Do you know that colors are influenced by the environment? Colors affect the mood of people. Sometimes it is subconscious but sometimes it is physical. One good example is that rehabilitation centers and hospitals have a pink room. Studies have found that if you put an extremely violent person in a pink room, it can calm them down. So let's also look into the effects of other colors on our moods:

yellow - cheerful, serene, aggressive
orange - distressed, stimulating, disturb
red - loving, exciting, strong
green - youthful, fresh, calm
blue - pleasant, cool, secure
violet - dignified, sad, depressing
black - melancholy, unhappy, fearful
white - pure, tender, soothing
brown - secure, comfortable, disagreeable

Avoided the water but underestimated the cactus

I was on my way out to class today when my neighbor was washing her car. The floor was obviously wet and right in front of me was a puddle which was not going to go anywhere. So being the smart me, I decided to avoid the pool of water by walking at the side most edge as I could along the pots of plants against the wall. Unfortunately, I was too ignorant to realize the plant were not just any plants. It was a big cactus the size of a pot of orchids. Before I could avoid it, the thorns from the cactus has stuck on to the sleeves of my black sweater and some of it even pierced through the sweater and grazed the surface of my left arms. I hurriedly pull up my sleeves to see tiny thorns sticking out my arms. It was a funny scene as I felt like a cactus myself. But funny as it was, it quickly became scary. I felt a little oozy and my arms quickly turned red. At the moment I thought I was going to die. If so, I would probably be the first person to die from cacti allergy if there is such thing. Anyway, it has been a couple of hours since. I manage to get rid of the thorns that I could see and just try to ignore those that I couldn't. Lesson learned, observe your surroundings. Don't take advantage of the slightest things that you pass by daily. You never know when it might jump out and surprise you.

p.s. from dream to scene, this is what i hope this blog would be about
