有沒有人不曉得雪上加霜什麼意思?

這裡有一個很好的例子…

四月的羅蘭絲下雪了, 就在今早, 球隊昨天剛剛輸得讓人心碎, 還有, 張國榮的葬禮…四月八日似乎不是什麼好日子. 所以, 為了表示我對這一切的默哀, 今天我特地曠課一節, 好好的閉目養神一番.

其實, 我已經失眠了好一陣子, 是不是從我知道我無法回家那天開始? 想不起來了, 只知道, 回去, 很無奈, 留下, 很傷感. 但暑假還是要過, 沒法改變的事, 也不必再勉強. 看看能做些什麼吧! 應該又會去旅行, 已經在計劃了, 去哪裡到不是很重要, 只希望能象上次去加州那樣, 精彩, 難忘! 多走走看看, 這麼大的一個國家, 還有好多東西待我發掘呢!

雪停了, 可是太陽還是不出來. 真是的.

一點點的憂鬱
一點點的哀愁
一股氣質

淡淡地
毋須太多的高貴
高雅而不失
那股依舊

鐘情與多年以前
再一次 翻開理由的字典
問號重現

喜歡就是喜歡
喜歡就是拒絕疑問

Stupid me..I just accidentally delated my 2 posts…anyway, sorry for those who left me comments on that! I will remember them from my heart or you can always leave another one!

What a long long day for me, I guess I just don’t get use to work 8 hrs a day and have no plan on weekend anymore :P After my May Madness, I am going to be a good girl in June. Continue my yoga, salsa, belly dance, whatever things that will inspire me in different way besides…having fun and drinking :) Or maybe I can do both together??!!

Alright, enough BS…time to bed!

I just want to…

SLEEEEEPPP! Gosh, feel like I go back to my college life. After my 4 hours long nap, now I am totally awake, at 11:30pm.

Today was a horrible day for me, my brain just didn’t work and my eyes just couldn’t stay open.  I was sitting in front of the computer, thinking…why the time passed soooo slow. When you need more time, you never have enough, when you want it goes faster, it always slow down. I can’t really complain anyway, time is the only thing that makes Bill Gates and I equal, we only have 24 hrs a day.

TGIF…I deserve some serious fun this weekend! It has been a crazy but unforgettable month for me. May Madness! I hope this month will end with precious moment and great memories! Alright, I should sort my laundry out and ready for my trip tomorrow!

A Special Moment at Lunch Time

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

My first enlightenment after being a 9-5pm rush rat- you can really take advantage of all these upscale places in Finiancial District by meditating during lunch time.

It is fascinating while sitting at the center of Rincon Center and surrounded by the human noise, the piano and the artificial waterfall.

And I still can’t belive I am here! I thought I am suppose to be somewhere at the beach with this little secret…

Yosemite Day One 6 May 2006

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

I heard bad things about Yosemite National Park. Too crowded, too commercialize, too…. ok, those might be truth, but definitely not this time of the year! I got lucky; avoided all the summer travelers and fully enjoyed my trip!

It was absolutely amazing to see so many waterfalls around you. To be honest, I have never seen so many waterfalls in my life. Before we even reach the entrance to Yosemite National Park, we couldn’t wait to take picture with the beautiful scenery. I really miss the beauty of nature, well, San Francisco itself is a magnificent product by the mother of earth, but Yosemite is different.

The air is different, the trees are different, and the road is different… Everything that is ordinary becomes extraordinary here. Or maybe, it is because I am different? I was extremely excited; everything I saw was surrounded with halo, it is just like heaven! I think if we take away all the cars, people and buildings, everywhere can be as gorgeous as Yosemite.

We went to Vernal Falls through The Mist Trail. Well, before the trip, I did prepare a raincoat for the “rain”, not for the “rain like mist”! We all got wet while hiking up to Vernal Falls. Luckily the weather was really good and sunny, we all took a rest and dried ourselves at the peak of Vernal Falls. At that point, I also realized I wore a wrong outfit and shoes, but so what, I was going to make it to the top!

The peak of Vernal Falls was not very impressive after a 1.4 miles hike. But it was kind of cool to stand so close to the edge at where the water starts falling down. It was just weird to see a small creek can create such a big splash! I took some pictures and rest besides the edge of waterfalls, enjoying this view with many others. If you hang out with me for a while, you will notice I like to go to places that are exclusive, especially when I visit national parks or beaches. I didn’t get that kind of exclusive feeling, that’s what missing so far. But I am sure if I can make it to a higher peak, that “exclusive feeling” might come along  :P

Maybe that was what motivated me to move on to Nevada Falls. I actually enjoyed this trail more than the Vernal Falls trail because it was more challenging and the view was awesome! Nevada Falls is also a bigger waterfall and much higher than Vernal Falls. This time, our team went separately, some people didn’t make it to the top, and I spent sometimes hiking by myself with no one else around me. It was a very sensational feeling, I just felt totally awaken and alive, because I could hear my own breathing and heartbeats along with the low echo surrounded the mountains. 

Finally we reached the peak! It was great to stand up high! Even we were still surrounded by other mountains, it was definitely better than the peak at Vernal Falls.

I think hiking can be addictive, I was all out of water but still determine to go up. When we finally reached there, we ended up drinking mountain water, which according to a stranger at the peak, you have to take a small risk to drink the water. It actually taste pretty good, but still, I was kind of worry and tried my best not to think of what human or animals did at the upper stream! We also met a guy who works at the park; he was the one who taking care of all the modernized restrooms along the trail. For 27 years, he has been hiking up and down everyday! I truly admire him and a little jealous as well, I would rather work at outdoors than in this cold, windowless office!

Of course, for all the experienced travelers out there, you will know choosing your companions is crucial! No matter where you go, if you go with the wrong person, you won’t even smile in front of the Eiffel Tower! I am glad to go with all these fun people; even I just know them…err…during this trip?

Sh*t…

3 years ago today >SARS 和戀人的交集 2003-05-11 03:20:49

Wednesday, May 10th, 2006
想到SARS, 第一個pop out my mind 的就是—-isolation, 隔離.

而戀愛中最殘忍的距離, 已經不再是站在你愛的人的面前而他卻不知道你愛他.

SARS 比較可怕一些, 他不止不知道你愛他, 他更不了解被隔離的痛苦.

這是雙重隔離, 從心, 到身體.

被太平洋隔離沒什麼難的.

只是要從新拼湊這一張照片卻很難找到理由.

唯一欣慰的是, 我們還有交集, 因為SARS.

一個新的理由讓我繼續.

Ready for my get away

Friday, May 5th, 2006

Finally I can visit Yosemite National Park, mmmMMmm and smell the great outdoor! But I just find out we are going to stay in a camp like lodging. Well, I have been trying to avoid camping anywhere close to wild animals for a long time, this time is just an exception. ( Just like I started drinking Tequilla again :P )

Not that I scare of bears or monkeys, I just don’t want to disturb them and accidentally leave anything that will threathen their life. There are so many irrespossible campers out there do not have a clue about how the nature works, these people are the biggest threat to the nature!

After decided where to camp, the first thing we should do is check out all the rules and how to avoid animals and keep our nature ‘as natural as’ possbile. It is usually very simple to follow the rules , as long as you don’t think you can do what ever you want and go wherever you want (like…hiking off track and step on some very precious plants!) Think like a bear, think like a tree, think like a grass…whenever you are making decision to keep your stuff or even to move a step further.

Just some "green" thoughts for today, anyway, I am out for the weekend!! YAAY!

我的大學—UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS,算是全美國其中一間最有SPIRIT的大學之一,怎麼講呢?看看旁邊這只’苯鳥’,它可是眾人為之瘋狂的對象噢!雖然長得真的有點傻乎乎的,不過我們還是很榮幸的有這只幸運鷹讓我們順利進入全美籃球學院大賽的FINAL.(NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME)

當然必須介紹一下我們引以為榮的’苯鳥’, 其名為’JAYHAWK’,是一隻IMAGINARY CREATURE.所以在現實生活中是找不到的. 它除了是我們學校的象征,也是把29000位學生團結起來的一股動力.你在羅蘭絲到處可以看到老人,小孩,學生們穿著它,戴著它,或是背著它.

除了JAYHAWK,我們還有學校的代表色—CRIMSON AND BLUE. 當然還有愛校哥,口號,KU CLAP等等等.

我的大學IS ALL ABOUT BASKETBALL.這倒是真的.為了配合我們進入CHAMPIONSHIP,學校的書局還特地印制了T-SHIRT等紀念品.往往不出一星期就會被搶購一空.而且,每當我們的籃球隊贏了一場比賽,你就會發現車龍處處,PARTIES EVERYWHERE.

上一場比賽是我見過最誇張的.即使人們在家中看球賽也穿上KU First的衣服.而比賽完畢後,本來10分鐘的車程就會到達的DOWNTOWN竟然需要花上2個小時才能抵達,因為人們已經等不及要PARTY一番,就乾脆在馬路中央開起舞會來. 這時你就會發現羅蘭絲的瘋狂,羅蘭絲的MARDI GRAS.

我坐在車裡喝著別人酒,還沖下車去Hi-5,與陌生人互相道賀,尖叫.一個晚上下來手都快被打爛,喉嚨也快喊破了,但真的很過癮.暫時也把不能回家的事藏在KU First 的T-Shirt裡.好好享受KU的精神和這精彩一夜.

在過6小時就是大決賽了!但有些人已經一早曠課做準備.我當然希望我們會贏,因為明天會有假期噢!祝福我吧!也祝福KU Basketball Team!!Rock Chalk Jayhawk KU!!
