While we are worrying about being late for work, getting a promotion or getting good seats at a concert or movie,or whether we can get a new toy... there are others who are suffering in hospitals waiting to be healed and others who are mourning over their lost of family members, friends and health (especially this week).
As our world is changing... we never know what will happen when we wake up tomorrow... things that we took for granted today might be lost.
I am absolutely heartbroken by the events which have happened in the past week... let's pray for those who are suffering in YaAn (雅安), Boston and Texas. And may those who are not with us any longer, Rest in Peace!

songs and feelings
I recently have realized that if there is a song which is constantly stuck in your head for some time, it can be possible that it reflects on:
1. current issues lingering (which possibly bother you)
or
2. things you are thinking about.
Over the past few weeks, lots of things have happened and I have done a coupe of experiments and discovered this...
I wasn't aware at first and I really thought I somehow fell in love with certain song genres till I got curious and searched for their lyrics only to discover they spoke exactly what I was concerned about at that moment.
How amazing are our minds to be able to use this to show us of our feelings/thoughts/situations.
Of course, there are SOME exceptions where the song itself literally sticks in your head e.g. the recent Gwiyomi - I don't want to show the Gwiyomi clips here so this is just the version with the lyrics translated into English (please Google it if you don't know what this is) ps. beware... you have been warned! XD

Flowers vs. Plants
I just had an amazing conversation with one of my good friends, somehow we ended up talking about how "guys should give girls flowers because that is sweet".
My views are: it is nice for guys to give girls flowers, however, I would appreciate it even more if guys gave girls plants instead (those plants can be flowers too... or anything long lasting) Because I believe any gift you give to your significant other is a reflection of your relationship, just giving flowers which may wither after 7 days is not very practical and only memories of that "occasion" linger for a very short time. BUT if you received a plant, not only should you take care of it (watering, feeding it, caring for it, etc) it also symbolizes your relationship with that person, your relationship must be cultivated (with time, energy, etc) AND it is much more practical (since it lasts WAY longer than ordinary stem flowers).
BESIDES, isn't it a pity when you receive flowers, not only are they expensive (I believe the latest price is $8 per stem), the social norm expects you to buy at least 12 stems (12 x 8 = 72 +taxes) and it doesn't even last long.
So I would much prefer if a guy would give me a plant (obviously a "good looking" one) instead of a dozen of roses.
I don't know... maybe I'm just a weird girl! XD... what do you think?

friends...ship?
It's so sad, some of my friends are so used to being used to the point when I look for them they think I need to ask for a favor of some sort :(
What ever happened to pure friendships? sad...
