Happy birthday, my love.

July 6th, 2007 by elainechai

How old are you now? I almost forgot if I didn’t count.

What you look like now? I almost couldn’t imagine if I didn’t see your photos.

Where are you now? I know the way your home, but I don’t know how to close to you.

All I could remember is…

I still remembered your smile no matter how many troubles you made and how angry I was…

I still remembered your kiss even no one loved me like you did in this world.

I still remember your hug even you were getting heavy day by day and I almost couldn’t hold you with my one arm.

I still remembered your sound. That was the first sound I could hear when I got home.

I still remembered the nights we slept together.

I still remember the days I thought I can’t live without you.

The days were gone. And…

Please don’t miss me. If you want to, just remember my name.

Please don’t fear. Try to learn how to stay with yourself. You will find lots of fun there.

Open your eyes, enjoy your journey. Even life is not fair at all, but there are too many surprises that deserve you look for.

Please don’t cry. I will hold you with the gentle winds.

Please don’t see me, let’s play hide and seek. If you have to, let’s meet each other in your sweet dreams.

Good night and sleep tight. Happy birthday to you and I.

Will Power !

An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work.

His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation.

  Dear Son, I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant  my potato garden this year. 

I hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I’m just getting too old to  be digging up a  garden plot.If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot  for me, if you weren’t in prison.                                                                

Love, Dad

………

Shortly, the old man received this telegram:

" For Heaven’s sake, Dad,don’t dig up the garden!! That’s where I buried the GUNS!"    At  4a.m.

The next morning,

A dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.

Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and a sked him what to do next.

His son’s reply was: "Go ahead and plant your  potatoes, Dad. It’s the best I could do for you from here ."

crying in the dream

April 28th, 2007 by elainechai

there was a baby, somebody’s babygirl in my dream last night. i was holding her in my arms. i felt a little bite sad, and then i was crying in my dream without a warning. she was so sleepy; i saw her peaceful face lying on my left shoulder. i cried for unknown reason. Suddenly, i felt i was awakening in the real life. that was a nightmare, was it? but i did cry in me dreaming. tears are crawling on my face and damping my pillow.

i don’t know where sadness comes from; i just knew i was really busy and exhausted lately, even in the dream.

i really want a real rest. not good jobs, not a good dream, even a good trip. I need one day living without worries.

should we love enemies or just hate ourselves…

April 14th, 2007 by elainechai

should we love enemies or just hate ourselves? does anyone has the same experiences like me that you love some people had ever harmed you and even they treat you like you never exist at all, but you still love them. and finally you admit they are jerks and suffered for this for a long time. when you try to get through all this misunderstood destiny in your life and try very hard to have your own act together, then they are just coming back like phantoms, hanging around you for the reasons you can’t figure out?? maybe just for fun. maybe for the unforgettable memories between you 2? or just wanna make sure you still belong to them? or maybe them just want to get their mugs in your cupboard back. you won’t know the reasons for rest of your life.  but you misunderstood again and again like you did before. you are familiar with this pattern, even you did know you don’t like it at all, but you do that again and again. 

for your safe and sound, you start to believe they are demons, they are enemies that want to take away all you have, so there are the action plans:

1. hiding behind your anger and fear

2. you will know new people in your life, what can you do? starting to treat them like you will never understand what they’re saying, ignore what their really needs as well as won’t let anyone getting close to your heart any longer.

3. trying to have a good-looking, a nice shape and  a good job; trying to work hard and aggressively, trying to enjoy your own time even sometimes you have to be alone. trying to be a person who loves him/herself more.

4. crying when you see the soft side, laughing loudly when you crumble. despising the shamed tears and trying to be brave when you are weak.

5.  trying not to trust anyone so easily in rest of your life, and treat the people who might be want to love you as a bitch.

6. believing truthfully the above unhealthy ways is better for you, and being happy with that.

that will make you strong and inviolable. I’m not saying I’m a saint or a virgin, you can say I’m going to extremes, but it does a good suggestion if you usually lost your heart to jerks. maybe we should not to blame the jerks, are there really so many jerks out there? or you should hate yourself, you should ask yourself why you are always blind as well as stumble on the same staircase.

perhaps we are pathetic souls by nature, we thought we are different and high-minded like first time we were imagining what kind the person we want to be when we were very very young. Mostly we believe deeply that we are going to become IT and try everything to go for it, no matter how many efforts we have to make; when things went to unknown situations, we were panic with the things out of our controls. then we were numbed with the unsatisfied lives, got used to get nothing we needed and said to ourselves there were nothing we can do.

there’s a friend said a pretty interesting logic to me, we are living in an infinite world, this world can be so illimitable that could reach of space and time. maybe you might be living in the heaven now, just you can’t see it straight. on the contrary, you might be living in a hell now, it depends on what you want to choose.

in consequence of these thoughts; future can be the past, now can be forever, the eternity might be exist, expectation can’t compare with the apple you are eating and the things you are holding in hands now. disappearance is not much of loss. to see is to believe is bullshit indeed.

so, enjoy your journey. no matter how the weather is, how the food tastes. no matter you might be has no companions with you. enjoy your scenery. cause you might be miss the best part if you are not looking at carefully. to have more courage, cause you might be need to get off when you are ready.

After trip, I’m still survived.

January 4th, 2007 by elainechai

Travel is a really amazing thing. Everything becomes brighter and clearer. I was hating the time before getting to office and the time walked home every night. But now I am feeling so great, and feeling joyful every wake-up. It’s like a bizarre turn of your life. Maybe sometimes you have to stop and behold the scenery behind your back.

It’s great for having a good chance to have a rest and take a deep breath for myself in heavy life. Even the life is still suck, even you still have to laundry your dirty clothes, even you still have to make efforts to live and still could get nothing. But now I feel I can have a very good excuse to go on. There are still many beautiful and novel things happening in this world. There are some things deserve to pursue.

So I play very hard in my trip and get back to the hard work with a brand-new frame of mind.

There are still lots of things deserve to pursue. Not achievements, not  love, not fortune or a dame good car. It’s delights of your heart, the passion of your life or the happiness of your little wishes.Sometimes, it’s deserve to save time to stare at the sky whole day just for looking for the couple butterflies, you deserve to have time to sit on the beach for waiting for the sunset. You may discover a coin when you bent and laced up your shoes.

The surprises of life could be anywhere. Maybe you just need to raise you head, you will  see the rainbow hanging in the sky.

“HAPPY NEW YEAR!! “… I SAID IT FIRST IN TOKYO!!!!!!!!

December 31st, 2006 by elainechai

i can’t wait for the correct time to say happey new year to my friends!! it’s 23:15 now in tokyo. time in japan is earlier than my time(taipei time) 1 hour. but it’s really nice to stay with passengers in stranger country this time. there are lot of people in every street. ther are busy for buying gifts for new yr celebration. i was in ginza, a very famous city in tokyo. there are many brand stores there, such like gucci, dior, chanel, hermes….. i finally saw these huge buildings with my own eyes. it’s really amazing. i walked in a street with a longly heart, but i felt joyful; i heard bells rings in the square of ginza, it sounded peaceful although the passengers were urge to get home on the last day of 2006.

so say goodbye to 2006, say hello to 2007. remember to shout loudly "HAPPY NEW YEAR!! "

no plan, no goal.

December 28th, 2006 by elainechai

No plan, no goal. just want to get out of Taiwan. It’s the voice inside my head before the day I’m going to Japan.

2006 is a tough year for me. Many things I profoundly believed before everything went wrong also became confused for me at the same time. Ups and downs were just coming like summer storms without a warning. There’s a dictum in Chinese "30而立,40而不惑", said Confucius. It means you will be independent and won’t rely on anyone else while you are 30 yrs; and you will not be confused with anything any longer while you are 40 yrs. What are those antiquity talking about? I’m going to 30 yr in coming year, but I’m so confused with the god-dame world now!! Why the weather get confused, why it’s still hot like summer once in a while in the winter and rains in wrong season? why the nobody could get the lottery and become a billionaire without any efforts? why the people could laugh right now and drop their tears in the next second? why the people you could love at this moment, but hate them each other rapidly without any indication? why the people could trust each other in coincidences and could suspicion without a single sign? why you can love a stranger and disbelieve your family? why people always want to know the truth, but couldn’t bear the harm of the truth at all eventually? I’m really getting very confused with that…

Maybe we are learning to be a super problem solver. But when the problems get too many and too much complicated, you will lose your way in the labyrinth of doubts, the forest of troubles. You will start to believe that u can not make it by yourself probably, but you have to overcome on your own at last. That’s the conclusion after the fetal appraisal with my boss this month.

That’s right. I almost got fired this year. Something I gained, something I just wanted to close my eyes and ears and don’t want to communicate with others. The hardest stone can be broke by the lightest wind even though it maybe gonna to take a billion year. Yes, some people hunted me and I did that to them, too. But it gonna end somewhen anyway.

The truth is I try to convince to myself it’s all my fault. As my feedback comment replies to my boss: It’s getting more tough for me this year, but I believe I could overcome it with my strong efforts in the coming future. I hope I can improve that maturely.

So, here are the solutions and my action plans: Trying to resolve emotional garbage in my head very hard; because boss wants me to get on my knees to ones who can not do so well like me. Trying to blame myself and figure out where the fucking grouchy feeling comes from. Trying to dig the goodness of human nature that I believed so much innocently and deeply before I was hurt. Trying to be a nice man even have to force myself to pretend it. I really did lost my believe. Can’t trust a person easily. When it happened? And How? I was once a trusting person indeed. I still can’t have a clue.

However, all of a sudden I saw a rainbow one day after appraisal. What a surprised. Rainbow usually comes after the downfall in the summer here. It seems like a colorful smile lying on the gray sky as the same way in summer. It just appears in the wrong season and wrong place, but it seems like sweet and doughty, it’s standing in the conspicuous place and shouting with gladness to the ones can see it without fears just like that.

I start to realize that the most beaming rainbows come after the heaviest rainfalls.In this case, perhaps the joys come after sorrows as long as you don’t give up till the end of every moment; the truths comes after the biggest lies as long as you really listen to very carefully; the real trusts come after misgivings as long as you still want to believe the virtuousness and justices, still want to believe the one have a piece of angelical heart.

Confucius is a abstractionist definitely. I’m going to 30 but i’m still very confused. That’s what i’m talking about.
