    visiting grandmom

    Graeme Harris Gingko Printi suppose this time was my last time to see her alive, she was frailly lying on the bed, although morphine was constantly injected into her body, she still could not help giving a groan of pain... she was too hurt and too frail to talk, i looked around, people kept talking. Stroking her hair and forehead, I could not stand and dropped tears quietly. She sometimes shakily and slowly raised her hands, people said she was tending to pull off those cannuas on her face, so I lightly pressed he hands... and whispered by her ears " grandma, don't be afraid, i know you are suffering the pang, i am praying for you. Please bear for a few days more, and you will be set free from the pang...". she seemed to try to say somthing, but the voice was so blurry and quiet so i couldn't understand, I looked around, people still kept talking. Turning round and looking at her face, "it's a pity that none has the priesthood in this room... or grandmom could have a priesthood blessing... " I was thinking sadly... 
    people left the room but me , they called me to leave to the restaurant for lunch, I could not stand anymore and cried to her " grandmom.. i am leaving... please..please take care.. i will come back to see you again.. " the nurse came in and asked her " your granddaughter is here, do you know? ", suddenly she  said quietly and toughly " yes.. i do.."  I walking back to her and whispered with tears " I promise you i will come back to see you.. " 
    i suppose this time was my last time to see her alive....

    New Job, New Boss

    You never know what life is going to give you.
     
    Suddenly, I got a new job, before that, no resumes were sent out from me. Now I have to wake up earlier every morning and go through the traffic jam to work, nothing bad, but I am still trying to get used to it...
     
    My boss is a topest stylist in Taiwan. As an assistant of her, I got to know the life of famous people isn't easy, they are always trying to maintain their high profile in every section, such as their cars, clothes, and so on. My boss always has GUCCI bag on her hand, she drives Benz, and drinks the bottle water which costs over US$10 per bottle, but she thinks those stuff are very expensive. She is easy to get mad and lose her patience, i guess there is too much pressure on her or her EQ is low.  She likes to tell people how awesome she is, that's what she would repeats several times everyday, be honestly, I don't hate it, but feel weird and interested. From my side to see her, she probably feels lonely, very lonely, for it's too hard to find a true heart for her.
     
    Her ex-assistant told me she was very mean and not easy-going, but i think my bueiness is not making good friend with her but doing well on my job, plus, i found that she is not a bad person but just kinda difficult, that's ok, that's a good way to train my patience, hehe... oh good luck muomuo.....

    this is my office

    Happy 50th anniversary of church in Taiwan!

    church has been in Taiwan for 50 years! so we have a lot of activities for celebrating, such as commemorating the 50-year tradition of missionaries traveling Taiwan via bicycles, some performances everywhere ,and so on. because the missionaries work so hard, God's blesses have spreaded all over Taiwan, we have our own temple in taipei, and more and more wards, branches.  it's really my pleasure that I got a chance  to build the website of the jubilee for church. i have done the Chinese version, and the English also should be done soon.
    please check the original website for some English info about the jubilee:  http://www.lds.org.tw/missionary50th/index_e.html
    also check the official site that i have done: http://www.lds.org.tw/missionary50th/index.html
    yay~
    Happy 50th anniversary, church!

    The Design of My Friend's Wedding Invitation

    Mei, My good friend and ex-roommate in NY, is going to get married, so there are a lot of things have to be done. Everything in NY is extremely expensive, only weding photography and vedio took Mei and Ted about US$4500, the wedding has not begun, they have spent over US$7500, which is really crazy for Taiwanese. Therefore they decided to print the invitations by Ted's HP printer... orz... as a good friend of theirs, I think it's the only thing I may do for their wedding, so I designed this invitation card for them. Mei is a Taiwanese and Ted is an ABC, so they prefer putting Chinese style and western style together. this is the one I just did tonight. The red stuff is Chinese traditional paper-cut with many double-happiness, which is one of the main signs in Chinese wedding.

    making women more pretty

    Making women more pretty is a very interesting challenge, there are some ways to make it, skincare is slow but maintains longer, makeup is fast but lasts short. I chose to do makeup because I like painting, haha... no matter how they look originally, I still have to try my best to paint and make them shining! the most popular questions girls ask are " could you make my eyes bigger two times?" and " could you make my face look thiner? " the answer is " OK,  I will try my best! "
    This girl is my good friend, she came over and asked me the same questions ^_^ ,  ok ! i will try my best!

    Lantern Festival !!!

    Lantern Festival takes place on the fifteenth day of the first moon in a lunar year, and it is right today. in Taiwan, we always have some very unique programs for celebrating.for example, Yanshui Fireworks Display is one of the best!  The most impressive of all the fireworks set off on this day is the "cannon wall" which is lit to thank the gods for their blessing. The scale of the cannon walls vary, though most consist of tens of thousands of firecrackers which pound the sky with a deafening roar. Every time the spirit palanquin approaches the cannon wall, the wall custodian pulls open the red cloth and lights the firecrackers, releasing an explosion of light and color that is the climax of the fireworks evening. see the vedio of the Yanshui Fireworks Display. and another best is Pinghsi Sky Lanterns, not only do the number of lanterns increase with every event, their size continually grows as well. The lanterns are decorated with colorful pictures, the names of their owners, and wishes such as "The higher the lamp flies, the higher your business will soar." when ppl let the lanterns go at the same time, that's the most beautiful moment of Lantern Festival! see the vedio of the Pinhsi Sky Lanterns.
    there is another must-do today is eating of yuan hsiao, that symbolizes peace and unity. Each locality has its own way to make yuan hsiao, but all include glutinous rice dumplings filled with bean paste, sesame paste, peanut powder, fish or meat. umm... yummy!
    so Lantern Festival can be the end of the Chinese New Year, and the brand new year's just begun!

    00086bo.jpgSo I was born today several years ago,
    today is my commemoration day
    but I don't feel like to think like this
    because it should not be a day for me
    there is nothing i should be treated specially,
    because i didn't work any hard for the day i was born
     
    my mother gave a birth to me today several years ago,
    today is a commemoration day of her suffering
    I would like to think like this,
    because it should be a day for her
    there are so manyreasons she should be treated specially,
    because she went through so much pain for me today,
    so
    Happy Birthday, Mom

    thanks my sweet friends for doing something special for me today and yesterday,
