很久没有找到喜欢看的台湾偶像剧了。
Vanness 真的真的很帅。such a hot bod.
(p.s. cari - he's very very devote Christian).
但幸福。“幸福”这个词，在英文里, 我一直找不到正确的翻译。
甚至认为，因为英文里没有这个词，不讲中文的人就不可能带给我幸福。
很傻但我真的就是这么想的。
其实我真的已经很幸福了。我得到的早已远远超过我应得的。
被你爱过。够了。

laughter.
is the cure of all things. they say.
somethings are inevitably associated with being at home. physically being in this space. if i'm not watching tv. or running away in other ways. the physical presence in this room. in this area code. throws one into cycles and through the history of days long past. some times i wonder. if one day technology will develop to the point. where like in Harry Potter. we can all have these pensive things that Dumbledore has. so we can store memories. optionally taking them out of our heads. and then choosing when to relive certain moments. i wonder if that's also dangerous. so some people may forever choose to live in the past and refuse to face reality. but man that could be so awesome.
i think more and more. it's better to just laugh things off. things are pretty funny. ppl are pretty funny. the situations we find ourselves in are plain hilarious half the time. it's usually much easier to just laugh it off.
so laugh with me. =)

culture and religion.
you know what i think?
i think cultural holidays should be respected in the same way that religious observances are.
people should be exempt from work, school, etc, in the same manner.
I believe western society over emphasizes the importance of religion, especially that of Christianity.
I say this because, despite being a secular state with a heavy emphasis on respect for multiculturalism, Christian holidays are forced upon all members of society. True, no one forces you to celebrate Christmas, but many businesses are legally forced to shut down during these religious observances, and workers enjoy a paid vacation. I don't necessarily see anything wrong with this practice, per se, I can understand and appreciate that religion is very important for many people. However, the problem occurs when members of the society with different priorities wishes to celebrate other days that are important to them. For example, I would much rather work all through Christmas and take the x number of days of forced vacation in February, in order to celebrate Chinese New Year. Yes. I can take time off or use "personal days" for this purpose. However, I cannot trade my Christmas days off instead. In this manner, Western governments force me to celebrate a holiday that I do not observe, but takes away my ability to celebrate another holiday that is much more important to me with the same degree of freedom as Christians. As this is an ingrained practice, I do not expect changes. But, I do believe that cultural festivities should receive the same status as that of religious festivities. No, my culture may not be the power that created and determines my fate. but neither does the Bible state that you must not work on Easter or Christmas. Yes religion is important for other people, but if I can accept that, it should be accepted that family is the most important thing in the lives of other people, and their culture may dictate for them to be with their families during these periods, and it shouldn't be more difficult for these people of another culture or religion to observe these occasions than those of the Christian tradition.
in short. I would like the ability to trade Christmas for Chinese New Years.
that is all =).
