Because I cannot resist Engrish, I must post this ( Read more... )

Zao, zao! Happy morning greetings! It feels like a day to run around in skorts and climb trees. I always wore those when I was younger. Then maybe an epic journey across the stream and into the unknown, never mind that you can see houses quite well from any part of the unknown. That's as good as it gets in this lovely suburban area. But it's always ( Read more... )

Church today was fun. No one showed up except my family, Ying-ying's family, the pastor's husband, a visitor who snowshoed there, and another person. Moth ended up playing the piano. Wheeeeeeeeee ( Read more... )

I return from skiing. Funness. Things were good, and skiing was fun, and now I have lots of bruises and a pretty horizontal cut under my left eye from falling. If I were in one of those sore muscle reliever commercials, I'd be lit up all over right now. But I'm happy. I like waking up sore. It makes me feel like I've been living life to the fullest ( Read more... )

Grandmoth flew from California today! Happy happy happy. She and Moth and Dad are in the room behind me. When listen to them talk, it's hard to tell whether Moth or Grandmoth is talking. I wonder if I sound just like them. No, I don't think so, I don't have quite the same accent. I never did, and Nikhil's influence has pushed it further. *shakes ( Read more... )

Choir concert! Wheeeeeeeee! The lighting crew is my savior. The choir sang stuff, and then little soloists/small groups sang stuff, then the choir sang stuff, etc. One of the solos was really long and sappy, and I was having a very hard time keeping the pleasant smile on my face until I looked up into the lighting booth and saw the lighting crew.

My love is deep and the rain is misty, How many families are in the rain? Remember in the beginning we were so devoted, but now the streets are always busy when we meet. Though a wind blew up from the ground, you are still as beautiful as jade and your spirit is as bright as a rainbow. Ah, my love is deep and the rain is misty, the world is only in ( Read more... )

Yes. Speaking Chinese all the time is very hard, and occasionally I need to slip in a word of English. Fortunately not that often, though. But when I do everyone says, "Bwahaha! I made you speak English!" It's somewhat annoying. But then there have been a few times when I've forgotten and actually spoken a bit of English. It's amazing how well ( Read more... )

Yesterday I started my LA II transcendentalist project, which was to speak no English until next Wednesday, I think the seventh. I can write it though, though I'm still debating whether IM is acceptable. This is more like a letter, so I accept it. It's really hard and I miss everyone already. I wonder if I'll have a Chinese accent when I start ( Read more... )
