This video is very good, very touching.

Kseniya Simonova - Sand Animation

This is an amazing sand animation. I've never seen somthing like this in my whole life. It is incredible, how she followed the music and she could picture it and show it to the audience.

Snowstorm

6 years ago, we left MN. In this year, there's a big snowstorm in the middle and eastern states. How can people in these states can live? Around X'mas time, snow is the representation of traditional x'mas. In Taiwan, X'mas is not even a national holiday. We do not have even vacation on that day.

When I was very young, we lived in Ecuador forever. We celebrate x'mas or we can get holiday for that. Now, I am not used to work on x'mas. But what can I do? Taiwan does not have x'mas holidays.

Alan really missed snow. We are hopping that one day, we could go back to MN visiting friends. I really miss MN, also. With that weather, I am glad that I am living now in Taiwan. Tainan does not get too cold, except for cold winds which comes from Japan or China. These days we get cold winds but other than that, we do not often get too cold or snow everyday.

Living in the New House

Tonight, we are so excited because we are going to start to live in our new house. Alan is so excited tonight that he can start to sleep in his new bedroom. Even we did not finishing moving, we need to find time to go back to the old house and do the last moving.

My Little Pig

When I went to buy furniture at the furniture store which is located closer to my school. I saw this wooden pig. I haven't seen something like this in my whole life. The first sight, I saw it, I love it. I bought it right away. the price was a little high bit high. I just love the shape and the color. It will combine with my shoes furniture. We can seat on the pig when we need to wear our shoes, ha ha ha...

Boys Scout

Alan likes all kinds of outdoor activities. One of the activities that he like the most is to involve into boys scout.

Everyone is ready to line up. Alan saw me and he was moving or being silly.

Here is Alan saying hi to me.

The teacher is telling things to them. They are all preparing to line up and ready to listen to the teacher.

Now, it is already 5:10 P.M. they should be finishing 10 minutes ago. They are finally saying bye to each other and the teacher.

Here the teacher is asking them to pick up their bag packs and ready to go home.

New Baby

One of my coworkers, Vanessa had her second baby. Her second baby is so healthy and handsome.

In a Chinese tradition, when people got a baby, they usually give a little present to their friends or families. Baby boy usually give sticky rice and the baby girl will give cake.

In her case, she did not follow the traditional custom anymore. She did not care if it is rice. So she chose a cake to give to people.

The cake is taro flavour. It is very heavy and it tastes very good. I need to think what I am going to give to everyone when I am having a baby Andrew.

My Livingroom

My livingroom will look like this in the future. the table that they made is very nice. I realy like the table and the shape of it. The color of stone also fits with my wooden sofa. I am so happy how the things are putting together.

This is another way of looking at the livingroom. Everything is getting gorgeous.

My Old Kitchen Set

This set of kitchen are from the house company. When we bought the house, they gave us this kind of kitchen set already. When we built our house, we tok this kitchen set away. We did not even think this won't last forever. When they took it down, we knew the material was not good enough, so we dicided to make a new one.

Red Envelops

Friday night, I went to Taichung to see my grand mom. A lot of people gave me a red envelop with money. My aunt made 5 set of flowers for me. I like roses, sun flowers, and Chinese orchids. I love these kinds of flowers.

In a Chinese tradition, when people are moving to a new house, family members or friends will give to the house owner a red envelop. The amount of money is depends on the owner. My grand mom gave me $20.000 thousand NT dollars. My big uncle gave me also $20.000 thousand NT dollars. My two great aunts gave me $3.600 NT dollars. My mom will give me $55.000 thousand NT dollars for the sofa.

A lot of money spending on the new house. I did not know buying a new house, we need to spend a lot of money.

Thanks to family members who gave us red envelops, we really appreciate your kindness.

Furnitures are Here!

Friday night and Sunday afternoon furniture stores starting to move in our furnitures. Things are looking great in our house. Alan has his new double size bed and the guest room also has double size bed.

The guest room is really big, so I divided the room into two parts. One part is for my closet and another part is for the guest bed.

On the fourth floor, I have my own exercise room. I have only the running machine. I am so happy to get the house ready.

Sunday morning, I started to put things into my new kitchen. Everything seems so great. I really enjoyed fixing things in my new house. Eventhough moving to a new place is a pain of the neck. However, this is the last time that I will do it.

Livingroom Table

My husband's counsin has a metal factory. they made all kinds of things. One of the things that they want to make for us is our livingroom and diningroom tables. The livingroom table just arrived last night and the dining table has some problems, so they need to go and fix it before they put the stone. The livingroom table fits with my sofa. Thanks them a lot, because they made the table beautifully. I really like the color and the style.

人生...去冒險吧‏

小時候，
我們總把這世界當成一座大型遊樂園。!
我們不怕摔跤、不怕疲憊，只想趕快到下一個沒玩過的地方冒險。
因為新鮮、因為有趣、因為開心。
根本不需要其他的理由。

然而長大後，
我們卻忘了這件事。
錢不夠、時間不夠、很累、很想睡、要忙、要工作，
永遠用不完的理由讓我們毫無罪惡感的放棄冒險，屈服於連自己都不滿意的生活之中。
只有時間不曾停過。

這道理其實大家都懂。
但大部分的人卻還是等到年華老去、等到笑容麻痺，
才想回到過去。

你還有什麼想做卻一直沒做的事、想去卻一直沒去的地方嗎？
別再猶豫了，就趁現在TRY IT！
不要讓倦怠感繼續抹殺你的笑容。
不管是山坡、海邊、都市的街角、鄉村的田園，不管是天涯海角，只要你願意踏出那一步，就是最美的風景。
當你感覺生活乏味一點也不可怕，可怕的是總有用不完的理由讓你繼續過這乏味的生活。
