Alright I am really trying to meet my new year resolution this year. First I started looking for a job related in media field, and I kinda got my foot in as well, and by going to the job, I will have to wake up early and go to bed early, which contributed to my other resolution. So, yeah, I am doing it.As for exercising, we went hiking once over the weekend, my knee was killing me again, I might

Alright after reviewing my 2007 resolution, here comes my 2008 resolution. Honestly, I haven't really thought all the way through, so I'll just write down what i have right now, and come back to edit it later.1. Take photography as serious business: more uploading to iStock, studying skills and experimenting, setup a studio, get a website and take some cases maybe. iStock is the first step, but I

I should first evaluate if I achieved my goals for last year.1. Write diary: yes i did and continuing doing even now. i wrote almost everyday, except days i was too tired or forgot to bring a pen into camping tent.2. Read two books each month: well, almost made it. I spent too much time playing since Nov, therefore I didn't meet the quota during the last two months of 2007. The rest were ok, I

Recently I got a request from a friend in Taiwan asking me if I can get an iPhone for her. Since I already heard so many people in Asia talking about it, naturally, I thought it's released in Asia, but apparently not yet.So I talked to another friend who's in Taiwan and already owned an iPhone about his experiences. Obviously he got it from some acquaintances too, and spent similar amount of

When talking about our hometown to Americans, I always say "our hometown in Asia." two reasons, first, it gets tiring to say Taiwan is an island outside China, nope we're not under China government. second, Eddie's home is in China, different from Taiwan. So it's always easier to say "we're going back to Asia" instead of saying "we're going to beijing coz Eddie's parents live there and i'll go

Have you been a social outcast? I think I did, so far twice in my life. They all happened in school, unfortunately, a place that requires highly social level to survive.There might be once in your life, you entered a new school, finding yourself in a totally unfamiliar environment, you feel like to blend in eagerly, and found there's a group of cool kids you can hang out with. This group of cool

I haven't been writing or logging here for a while, and just couple days ago I found out Blogger made lots improvement on customization, which is a great deal to me since i'm too lazy to find out how to add customed codes to the template.So, all of a sudden, I started to like this place again.

I've never seen Wisteria before my visit to Dallas this March. My aunt grows some in the backyard, it blossomed the day before i left, just in time for me to catch its beauty. A casual beauty i would say.

Some people might be able to imagine how it feels like having lots of things happening at a short time but also feels like nothing happened at all.So, that's how I feel about my life right now. I am losing words to describe my feelings, losing the ability to feel cheerful about life as well. Probably this is how it feels like to have no goal in life.Unfortunately, "melancholy" is how I started

This is a busy autumn. Eddie and I went out to do shooting almost every weekend, and I can feel the difference of my photos at the beginning of summer and the past weekend. The choices of lighting is different, white balance is different, and because of shooting similar subjects for too long (such as autumn leaves), I also learned to look at them with different angles and tastes.Another thing

Friends came over for dinner, and had some drinks. Before I fell asleep, I think I love my baby. You are such a grown-up, but so innocent when you fell asleep. We're getting married next month and I think I will love you for a long long time, I don't know how long yet, but I know it will be a long long time.Kiss, and goodnight!

By Emil Petrie BBC Money Programme Is it really possible to cut your carbon emissions enough to save the planet? As part of the BBC's Climate Chaos week, The Money Programme conducted a unique experiment. It asked the Hutchinson family from Teesdale - the area in the UK with the highest carbon emissions per household - to try and cut back their energy use. But it was a tough task. The

Last spring/summer i decided to plant basil bcoz back in my hometown there is basil everywhere, my mom never bought them and we can always pick the fresh ones from the yard. So I decided i am not gonna pay $3.99 for organic basil coz i can grew organic ones too. However, it's bringing tiny bugs flying around it, I decided if the basil has to learn living with its vegetable-instinct and deal with

During this winter season, we went out to the moutain for skiing several times. Every time we went with some friends, including one of Eddie's co-worker Pat. Pat is a very funny guy but he's not a person who likes telling jokes. He's just naturally funny with his wierdo logic.For example, he got some Cantonese songs from friends and found one of the songs very touching. He listens to it

Before we visited Mt. Si, I have read an article about it saying it's one of the most popular hiking trail in Washington, and if you have lived in Northwest area long enough, you have to do what local people do -- Mt. Si hiking.This is really a punishment for not working out regularly. My legs are so sore to the point that I want to walk with my arms. This trip is fun and pretty, very enjoyable,

Eddie and I are going to North Carolina this weekend to visit his college friend. How many times of the year will there be a hurricane threatening North Carolina? I don't know, maybe one or none? And how many times will we visit North Carolina in our lifetime? Probably only this one.And we're that lucky.

Last weekend we went to Lake Chelan area for the first time. I didn't want to go there at first, coz I know it's desert area and it's corwded, and our experience this time proved that I was right.It's desert, so drrrrry. Not only the air, I feel my skin is shrinking too. So dry. and I wanted to see some green so badly. I didn't realize how much I love trees and forest, until I came to the desert.

Roach's animal logic goes to extremes When I was in school, one day I asked my friend, what key words will you use if you want to search for human having sex with animals porns? "uhm... girl and horse?" he wasn't sure. "hmm..." doesn't sound correct but probably works. Now I've grown up and learned two things: 1. the key word is "bestiality" 2. "boy and horse" works as well

The editing process always got stuck bcoz of a simple question: why is it significant?We collect footage in order to make a sequence that has some meaning in it, and send out a message. But often time, I got confused by "what message do I want to send out and how?" Unfortunately the editing process has to go on no matter I have figured an answer or not.So I have to do rough cut 1, then rough cut

I am doing ok, coughing badly, we tried to go out every weekend to take photos. Last weekend there's Gay Pride, but I overslept. I heard the traffic was pretty bad and we have to be there 2 hours early and parking is extremely pricy. So, maybe it's a good thing that I overslept.Compare to the rapid pace in Taiwan, it's really a peaceful place here, especially where we're living. This summer, as

i didn't feel too fancy about it until now.i just made some zong-zi and decided i should take a photo of it, but i didn't realize it would look so great! it made me fall in love with our new camera, and i feel i can make more zong-zi just for photo shooting.

I have Traditional Chinese and English blog sites, and now i am thinking to have another simplified chinese blog site. I checked several chinese sites and trying to find a best place to continue my non-sense in simplified chinese. however, the server either too busy to response or it takes forever to load one page. I am not sure if it's the problem of the coding or my small bandwidth. more likely

This is a cute article, i personally found it amusing, probably bcoz i am dating someone. even though i don't think i will get married soon, if by any chance i am going to have a wedding reception in Seattle, you bet i will invite a lot of nerds from Eddie's company for my single friends. The only problem is, they are nerds, i think my lovely single girl friends deserve better than that. But at

Ever since I decided to take a month vacation back to Taiwan, I became pretty loose and not wanting to work on anything. I have a short documentary project still in the outline stage and they have been wanting me to start shooting since last week, I feel kinda sorry to delay it but hey, I am really not in the mood of doing it. I will try, ok? I mean, try.Another thing is, I've been working on

Of course not today. It's last Friday. So we went to this so-called "best steakhouse in seattle" - El Gaucho in Belltown. It's probably also the most expensive one. But it has good service and good food.One thing I can't get used to is that when there's a lady needs to use women's room, the waiter will come over and walk the lady to women's room.

When Eddie picked up the beagle in pet shop, I can sense that he wants it badly. But I have to stop him, one of the reasons is because I don't want to clean up the mass produced by beagle, they can be pretty rough.Other reasons are like, we're poor, it's expensive to buy dog food and send dogs to doctor (you kidding me, I don't even go to doc myself, how come we're making the dog more precious

I love google!!! this is soooo coooooool!! for a map lover like me, this satellite image makes me really excited and touching! I love dragging map around, used to try making this feature in flash, but what google did here is way much much better than I expected. I think I can spend whole day exploring the google map/satellite. no, maybe whole week. hmm actually, oh I love it i am gonna dreaming

Travel Channel :: Samantha BrownHonestly, she's hosting some of my favorite shows from travel channel, such as "Great Hotels" and "Passport to Europe". So, naturally, she is my favorite show host. I actually feel kinda jealous of her, coz I really want a job like hers!!

City Mayors: Quality of city life This makes me want to travel to Europe, as I always wanted to. I was surprised that Seattle actually ranked lower than some of the USA cities, and started to doubt if it's reliable because of the high ranking of Vancouver. Vancouver is beautiful, but part of the city is really nasty, I would not walk there even during the day. Maybe if they would rate Seattle

I just found out this week that some of the flowers I took are actually plum blossoms. OOPS!Another thing is, I've been thinking about printing out some photos for home decoration. However, I never feel satisfied with any of them. I have around 3.8GB of photos and I think 99% of them are junk. This might be a good thing in terms of improving my skills and training my eyes, but also a bad thing

I didn't realize there were so many of them, and one word, charming!I will keep on collecting them with the dummy digital camera, sorry for those of you who ask for higher quality than this, I will find a chance to modify them in photoshop.It's time to picnic under the sakura, enoy the white and pink of the spring.

Which is something that I don't really enjoy doing. However, due to my laziness and layback attitude, I've always need to deal with uncertainties. Why can't I just have a clear and bright future waiting in front of me?

We are moving from Redmond ( the north end of Lake Sammamish) to Issaquah (the south end of Lake Sammamish). For me, Redmond is like my 2nd home in the US (the first one is of course East Lansing, MI), and since Eddie has been living here for 2 years, it feels like I've been living here for years too. Plus we had some friends here (difficult to make good friends in the US), and we will be far

My 2005 begins with Sims2, have been playing that for like 18hrs a day. Very addicted you can tell. Eddie had this jetlag after he got back from Beijing and chatted with friends online every night, and the coming of Xmas and New Year only made it worse, since we have not much to do in the cold/rainy weather. Therefore we slept most of the days and were energetic during the night. I didn't have

Upon arriving at Dallas, I have tried to drive three cars already, Honda passport (SUV), Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Accord. i think i like Jeep most since I drove it more times than other three. Arthur told me some things about driving in Dallas, one thing is, don't signal while changing lanes. well, in the drive test we are supposed to signal, he added, but in fact while you're driving on Texas

I lost your signal! I am staying witih my relatives in Dallas. There's only dialup in the house, and i feel like back to the stoneage coz i haven't been using dialup for so long, maybe last time i use dialup was the last time i visted Dallas! Now Texas is giving me an impression of stone age, and after hearing my thoughts, my counsin gave a comment. he said, go yours. meanwhile my dear Eddie

I went to drive test this afternoon in the stupid town Bothell and failed it. I know it is wrong to say bad things about Bothell but I need to let my anger/depression go or I will get sick, mentally. Therefore, TMD you da-bian town Bothell. I know the officer is trying to make sure everyone drive safely and I did make some mistakes but if I don't blame him, then I will have no one to blame

Photo retouching. Learned some new tricks and tried to apply them. Actually I am not sure if I improved the image or not, but this is a retouching, which means it was touched from a different approach. Just a different view.

Ok, I have a lot to learn about English, which is very true. Meanwhile, lacking of Chinese reading made my Chinese writing worse. Will I end up not being able to handle both languages? Probably not. The only thing that is improving is the speed of my Chinese speaking. I got it improved by argueing/chatting with Eddie the Beijingnese. Eddie speaks Chinese faster than I am and speaks English faster

Couple things I learned about English recently, First, don't say "pissed" or "pissing" to people you just met, unless they are video production people. I said this word to a real estate agent and she seems shocked. That made me wonder if it's the wrong usage when I said "if I were the person who live downstairs, I will definitely pissed by the noise." But it is funny when I found that all

I always regarded myself as a person who lacks of luck. Therefore, when something good happens to me, I feel that's a blessing; when something bad happens, I know it is by nature and irresistable. Keeping this idea in mind, I found that I have been very lucky to have family and friends support me all the time. But now, alone with Eddie here in Seattle, sometimes I feel a little bit lost. I

just went to interview with them, it's actually not an interview but more like an introductory to their house/studio/crew. met cute people and crazy people. how come i am feeling like to hang out with gay/lesbian more than straight people? i think i need some more experience for web design and graphic design.

I've been working with this group of people for near two months, so far, had a lot of fun. However this is going to end, and i am thinking what i should do next. Working/hanging out with gay people are more fun than working this some straight/conservative people, even though I am straight. I feel my gay friends accept me as friend more easily than many straight people I have met. But who knows,

Says 70% possibility that the mountain is going to erupt in few days/weeks. I feel sorry for people who live near that neighborhood, but I DO want to visit the mountain since it's going to erupt. In my life I never live so close to a LIVE VOLCANO, kinda excited. Eddie is lookging forward to some earthquakes coz he has heard people talking about the big earth quake that happened few years ago in

This is actually the second time i went to his game. Eddie insists on bringing the eel bento into the field while I am as usual says that's kinda embarrased to eat eel bento in front of soooooo many people and some people might not feel comfortable about the smell. then Eddie said, what about those who had Nacho while watching baseball game? alrite, he got the point. so we brought food to the

As usual, I got lazy after first post. I should have quit writing series of articles. One of the reason I quit is bcoz I forgot one of the Ramen restaurant's name... anyway, here are what I remembered. 3.

Seattle Ramen Guide -part 1 Ramen is different from instant noodles, this is the first thing. the second one is, the soup of Ramen requires a complicated procedure to do it, it's not like other ordinary noodle soup. Eddie suddenly fell in love with Ramen, so he decided to search for restaurant that sells Ramen. He started with this website WORLD RAMEN. and since I am the "search Queen," I

Anyway, i met michael chang yesterday when i was sitting in a STARBUCKS by the entrace of CROSSROAD mall in Bellevue. he was wearing sunglasses and walking into the mall with a girl. i thought that's him but wasn't sure coz he wasn't as tall as i expected and i couldn't see his eyes. so i sat down immediately turned

12 GIRLS BAND in seattle we got the news of the 12 Girls Band coming to Seattle and performed in the MOORE theater 2 hours before the show started. so we went there see if there's any tickets left, luckily, there were still a lot (i guess their audiences are mainly asians), so we paid total 52 for 2 tickets. my comments are 1. Performance OK (i mean acting part, that's part of music performance

CLOUD 9 There are couple things happening. First I found a group of people doing independent film with low-budget and looking for volunteer crew positions. Therefore I volunteered. I went to meet the director on Sunday and it came out nice, he welcomed me abroad. We talked for several minutes and he told me that his background is theater/film. Theater! it immediately reminds me of COULD 9 and

This is an old one, taken in Yellowstone National Park with full-automatic mode of a Minolta camera. The point is, Eddie thought he took this picture and started to send out to his friends while I truely believe that it is me who took the picture.

Wa, after nearly six months, i am back again to finish up my story. i've talked about this experience too many times and got sick of it myself, so i'll try to make it short. After my neighbor came to complain about my noise, i got upset and tried to talk to my other side of neighbor, she's a japanese. OH you're totally fine! i didn't hear you much, but i DID hear her knocking the closet and was
