John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, [f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

神愛世人、 甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們、 叫一切信他的、 不至滅亡、 反得永生。

神は、実に、そのひとり子をお与えになったほどに、世を愛された。それは御子を信じる者が、一人として滅びることなく、永遠の命を持つ為である。

AAA

After all those things happened to my car, my dear little colorful; I finally joined AAA as Plus Memeber.

My car has being great for me. After I got her, she didn't make a lot of problems for me; but she is a old car. 96 Golf. Almost 10 years now, and with a high milage. Of cause, as all the cars, she has problems in her age. But, she has being really greatful, never had big problems, all small ones.

I know that I didn't take good care of her before. Girls wont' give much love to their car sometimes compare to boys. Haha...but I found out how important my car is for me. She took me and my friends to happeniese and enjoyment of our life. I can't live without her now. I must take care of her more.

I joined AAA.

AAA is great. I had people came to my house and replaced battery for her at the day I joined AAA. Little colorful started to have battery problem since last Nov. It happened three times, I had to do something about it. I called AAA, and asked the battery replacement service. They send people to my house in a hour and replaced battery infront of my house. I didn't have to pay labor fee or any other fees. The only thing that I paid for is the new battery, and it includes 3 year free replacement service. How great is that~!

Now when I driving, I feel more easy and less worry. That's great~!!!

(MY CHINA) ---Where is the civilization?

I was reading all kind of news from Internet, and I found one story has interesting title <>. I checked the story....well...for me, it's only a sad story, no humor in it at all. Is it a real story? I am not sure about it, but I believe the thing happened in the story, would happen in real life of China in a very high probability. Let me tell you the story.

The story happened in a overcrowded train. It is most busy time of the year, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Many laborers and students are going home for the biggest holiday of the year. There is no empty seats in the train, many people standing or sitting on the floor for hours to get home. After the train left the city about a hour, the train conductor started check the tickets. She stopped infront of a laborer who sat on the floor. The laborer looked dirty and tired.

"Your ticket." The conductor said to him.

The laborer took one ticket out of his coat pocket very slowly and carefully. He didn't give the ticket to the conductor, he just held it in his hand, and showed to the conductor. But, still, the conductor saw that was a ticket for under-age passenger.

She looked at the laborer with flout in her eyes, she said:" It's a under-age ticket. "
"Yes, I know." The laborer said carefully:" I bought it because it is same price with the ticket for disablilty passenger."
The conductor looked at the laborer from the head to tail:"Are you telling me you are a disablilty passenger?"
The laborer looked at the conductor, and smiled a bit:" Yes, I am."
" Is that right?" the conductor kept her eyes with flout:" Show me your certificate of handicap."
The laborer's smile stopped at his face, he speaked in very small voice:" I don't have one. That's why I bought the ticket for under-age passenger. The booking clerk asked my certificate of handicap in the train station too....but I don't have one, I only can buy ticket for under-age passenger."
The conductor laughed:"Haha...you don't have the certificate, how can you prove that you are handicap? You looks perfect fine for me."
The laborer with a red face, put his left trouser leg up above his left foot. He only has half left foot.....He looked at the conductor agian, said:" I lost half of my left foot at work, but it was impossible to get certificate of handicap in the city because I am just a laborer from country-side. I am not the registered permanent residence of the city. They don't give me one..."
"The rules only apply for the certificate, you don't have one, then you have to pay the full price." The conductor said to the laborer without enmation.
The laborer looked confused:"But, I am handicap. You saw my foot, do I still need a certificate to prove that?"
The conductor didn't want to talk to the laborer anymore, so she called the guard. The guard came very soon. He asked the ticket from the laborer agian, asked same question and got same answer from the laborer agian. Then, he said:" We don't prove you as handicap because you don't have the certificate. No matter if we can see you are handicap or not, you don't have certificate, you are not handicap."
The laborer lost his half foot at work....and now, he couldn't even go back home.
One old man who was sitting behide the laborer shot to the guard:" You are not man."
The guard felt angry and said:"How can you say that? Of cause, I am a man!"
"Well, then where is your certificate of man?" The old man asked the guard peacfully.
"Of cause I am a man. Can you see that? Do I need a certificate for that?" The guard became mad.
The old man said:" Then, show your dick to us. But, even if you have a dick, we still don't prove you are a man 'cause you have no certificate of man."
The guard didn't know what to say.....but the conductor said to the old man:" I am not man, you want to say something, say it to me."
The old man looked at her coldly:" You are not even a human."
"What~!" The conductor was mad and shot to the old man.
The old man smiled and said:" Please show us your certificate of human~!"
At the point, the laborer was looking at ground with tears in his eyes. The tears of agnry, sad, and thanks for the old man.

It's king of long story. I was really sad to think this kind of things might happen in my country, but I think it does. A lot of Chinese people still don't know what is civilization, what is love and respect. They are slefish, self-center, and ignorant. Normal Chinese people will never know how ignorant they are because they only see themselves in China.

For my home-counrty, which I love, I want it become more civiliation, and better. Not only have improvement at economy and the matter of life; also have improvement at thought, education and morality. It sad to see my own country un-civilizated.

After Storm

Huge Storm this morning~! I was woke up by the sound of strong wind. My house was shaking, and I was thinking maybe it will be destoried by the storm.

The morning news said many places were power off because of the storm, trees fell down and cahsed on the cars. The first house called me around 10 a.m, and said it's out off power. Lucky, my house is ok~!! And, lucky, the storm stopped after 2 p.m.

I took some pictures when the sun came out while storm gone~!! They look so beautiful~!

(EAT THAT THING) --- The Real Si Chuan Food（ONE)

火锅

A.K.A

(hot pot/Spicy shabu shabu)

火锅（HUO-GUO)：It is one of the most well-known food of Si Chuan. The history of Huo-Guo can be found from 3000 years ago. At very beinging, Huo-Guo just simply bowling food in hot water while the fire is bowling the water.

The frist menory that I have of eatting Huo-Guo was 20 years ago. I was only a child, but I remember it was a winter, everyone felt hot because of the spicy. At the beinging, there is only RED huo-guo, which means only spicy soup. We use the sesame oil with salt and M.S.G as the sauce. Everytime, after you catch a food from Huo-guo, you dip into the sauce and eat.

From late 1980s, the WHITE hou-guo started getting popluar. WHITE simly means non-spicy. The soup of WHITE is made by chicken or fish. In side of it is tomato. People really like to eat what we call "鸳鸯埚" (LOVE BRIDS). Like the picture above, the huo-guo will be cut into half, one side is RED (spicy) and one side is WHITE (non-spicy). People like it because the WHITE soup is very health and at the same time, the non-spicy soup can calm down the spicy in the mouth.

What do we eat with Huo-guo?? You will be suprised to know that we eat almost everything. Everthing that you can think about it.The sytle of Huo-guo is changing very fast. Now, we have many differnt kind of it, but no matter how it changes, the SPICY will never be changed.

New Categories: "My China" and "Eat that Thing"

From today, I will add two new categories: "My China" and "Eat that Thing".

"My China": I will share my home country China with everyone, show every thing about it. The good thing and the bad thing. This is for people knowing my counrty a little bit more than just on TV, news or Moive; also, I can know about my counrty more too.

"Eat that Thing": In China, we say"民以食为天". It translated as " People thought the food as the sky", basic means "the food is as important as the sky for human, it is as hige as the sky". I will introudce many kind of food to my friends. haha...but~!!! Most of them will be the food that I cook~!!! Enjoy~!!!

Winter Woodberry~!!

When was my last time went to Woodberry? Ah~~the summer of 2004~!! I didn't buy anything at that time. I guess I had to use all my money at other things~~hahaha, which was very bad idea.

I went to Woodberry with Takeshi and Sugi last week~! It was fun~! We didn't know we were gonna go there. Three of us wanted to do something or go somewhere, but none of us had idea. Then, I forgot who, but one of us said " let's go to woodberry". OK~nothing to do anyway. I called my friend who always go to woodberry, and asked him how to get there. It wasn't too hard to get there, but my friend told me wrong way~!!!!! Lucky, I found out soon after I felt it wasn't right, and didn't get lost. GOOD~!

I bought something from Woodberry~!!! A DIOR WALLET~!! I am very happy about it. It was not so so so expensive, but still it is the most expensive thing that I own now~!!! I like this wallet. I don't like those things which has brand labels all over them. This one only have the DIOR on the outside, good design and simple. Other parts of wallet are all black with no labels. But inside of the wallet, you can see the DIOR labels, it's hiden~!!! Also, this wallet is kind of middle-sex design. Not as other DIOR wallet, so girlish and colorful. I think I am not so girlish person, I perfert more middle-sex, but maybe my styles are from girlish to middle-sex. I just like this wallet. Fit to my personality, I think.

I have a Louis Vuitton cardholder from long time ago. It has brand label all over it. I don't really like that, but it was the first brand thing that I bought for myself. So, I really like it too. Keep it with me everywhere and every time. Normally, I don't have a lot of cash with me, I only have cards....but most of them are not useful. (haha...hope one day i could be rich). I put my family's picture with me in the cardhold. I can see it easily everytime use the cardholder and remind me about my parents. Yes, I like the cardholder too.

I bought some other things from Woodberry, include three clothes and one boots~! I wanted a cowboy style boots from last winter, but they are all not cheap, around 100 something. I didn't want to spend that much money on it. I found it in Woodberry~!! Only 39~!!! Yeah~!! I was happy and bought it without think too much~!!! Takeshi and Sugsi bought some things too. Everybody was happy about the trip to Woodberry~!!!

It's good to go Woodberry sometimes. Maybe once or twice a year is good enough. Maybe I will go there during the summer break next time. Kills time and fun too. Good~!

What are you guys doing~!!!!

Oh, my god....

What are you guys doing~!!! The new people who moved to our house...made such a mess in the kitchen~!!! I don't understand~!!! Can you guys clean up after cook and eat? Can you guys eat inside of your own room??

and, they are lound too....

Sucks~!!

I will move out later~!!!!

KING KONG

I watched KING KONG, finally~!!! What a great moive and great story. I didn't know what the KING KONG was about. It is a remade moive, but I didn't know the story. At first, the moive was funny and relax. I was really enjoy it. During the middle of the moive, it started to be exciting with all the fighthing and killing. However, at the end of the moive....I couldn't stop crying~!!!

If you are a person so easy to be touched by sad story, then don't watch KING KONG~!! It is too sad....I really couldn't stop crying. Human is so bad in the moive. KING HONG was just so lonely, without friends and anyone who care about him. Finally, he met the girl who is funny. He likes her and want to be with her, but the human doesn't allow him to do it. No matter in his world or the human world, he was hated by human. Finally he died...(wa...wa....wa...). So sad. I was wishing he wouldn't die during the moive, but he did....

Just a so sad moive. I haven't cry so much when I watch a moive. ha....Sad....

Jan News

High school friend left message on my msn: xx and xx are married at new years day~!
Oh....the fourth one got marride in my high shcool friends. xx and xx started to dating from 14. We were all suprised about their dating 'cause they were so young. The relationship keep for 11 years~!!! Fianlly, they married. I was kind of suprised about their marriage. Boyfriend use to cheatting on the girlfriend, everybody knows, but not the girlfriend. Well...I guess as long as the girlfriend doesn't know, it is alright. Maybe even if she knows right now, it doesn't matter anymore. Hope the boyfriend ( now husband) won't cheat any time soon.

When I was just 14, dating is a biggest news around friends. "Someone dates with someone" is a huge news for all friends. I don't remember from when, this kind of huge news are not important anymore. After 10 years of time, dating update to marriage. Marriage become the biggest news around friends now. 5 of my high school friends are married now.

Next biggest news might be have children or divorce. I guess the time will be in 5 to 10 years. Haha...kind of waiting for next biggest news. (but, where is my huge news?)

WebCam Fun with Papa

One of the funnest things of today is chatting with my papa on MSN~! Finally my papa got a webcam. Before that, he could always see me, but I couldn't see him. TODAY~I could see him and my mother too~!!!

It was a very nice talking with my father. I haven't feel this close to my father for a long time. We talked about old memories and games that we use to play when I was just a kid. It was great. My father got a little fat, but still GOOD LOOKING~!!!

I am very happy about it. Good time with my parents. You know, I haven't see them for 2 years. Miss them much~!
