Too Late

Iksel Kumquat Topiary PrintWe always have so many " it's too late "
We always thought time would wait for us,
We always thought we would have chances to redo, to atone,
But guess what? we are always not that lucky.
So we need to appreciate what are in our hands
when it's not too late.... hold tightly...

The Passion of The Christ

Last night I watched the movie "The Passion of The Christ" which I had wanted to see since it's released. I had never cried for any movies or tv programs, but this time I could not help and cried a lot. Even now my heart is still not very still.... How could those people be that cruel? how could hevenly father stand to see his belove son be tortured like that? a lot of questions were asked in my mind. Hevenly father didn't show up in this movie, I could not see how painful he would suffer. However, I saw Maria, Jesus's mother, as a mother, who can bear her child be treated like that? i cant imagine.... what i also cant imagine is the extreme pain Jesus was suffering....

a lot of points of what i read in the holy Bible had been linked together, point by point, when those points were linked into a line, my tears welled up in my eyes. Suddenly I understant a lot of things which i didn't get, I understand why Hevenly Father calls Jesus Christ as his belove son, when all of us were in the meeting up on the heaven, only Jehovah stood out and accepted this kind of result on earth. how brave did he need to be so he could take this mission? I must be the little chicken spirit behind other spirits. Obeidence of the Chirst is so unbelievible, when he was parying to hevenly father in the gardon of Gethsemane, even thouhg he was extremely afraid and hurt, but he still chose to obey heavly father's will. The process of his Atonement in this movie lets me understand that how difficult and tough the atonement that Jesus took for us is, It cost Christ's blood and life. How little I have done for him and for others... the Sacrament is for remembering Christ. I have to repent for taking it for granted. the Sacrament seems too easy for us to get, but that's Jesus's flesh and blood! one of my church friends said if you imagine the stuff coverd with the white clothe on the table was Jesus Christ's body, then you would never take the Sacrament for granted.
the frame above touched my heart, I wish i be able to carry the heavy cross with Jesus, if I could lighten his burden..
Although this movie is not from church, it still brings a strong spiritual feeling to me. thanks this movie!

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

choices

People always choose the easier way to go, closer thing to touch,
oh i am tired, coz I chose a harder way to go, a further thing to touch
so I deserved much more frustration from it
oh i am tired, oh Father, I told you that i would take whatever you gave
but now, look at me, i am still there and never move
do you also cry with me? also smile with me? also walk with me?
let me know you are here with me and proud of me?
coz I have been trying so hard and really hard
and i will keep trying ... not to choose the same way

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!

A song i used to sing

Raymond Gehman Bare branches and red maple leaves growing alongside the highway Photographic PrintI try to sing a song, a song i used to sing
Somehow I hardly remember any word of it
The melody is playing in the ears , quietly and blurry,
And seems ready to come out but still hard to be hummed
Busy doing other things I gave up recalling it
The melody kept playing even in my dream
That cant be a nightmare yet might be annoying
Does it matter if the song I couldn't sing?
I have no idea, or , maybe it does indeed
Because it was filled with all my memory.
The first time I sang it was when I got my first ginkgo leaf
The first time I sang it was in that beautiful summer
But somehow anyhow
I hardly remember any word of it
There is a song I used to sing
A song filled with my ginkgo leaves.

Endure To The End

00086bo.jpgAnd now, my beloved brethren and sisters,
after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path of the Temple marrage,
i would ask if all is done?
Behold, I say onto you, Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it were by word of Chirst with unshaken faith in him and your spouses, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.
 
Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope and a love of God and of your spouses.
Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ and your spouses, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father:
Ye shall have eternal marrages.
 

I can go to stay in yours.

A conversation between Hevenly Father and a young divorsed woman who had been really exhausted for taking care of her seven children at home -----

I was looking up at the night sky with tearful eyes " Oh~ Father, I can't make it tonight, coz I am too tired to face all I am facing... I cant go home and take care of those kids on my own. May I go to yours for just one night? I promise that I will come back tomorrow morning..."
 
"No, my daughtor, you cant come over here yet right now, if you came, and would never 00086bo.jpgwant to go back to yours. However, I can go to stay in yours."

freshness v.s staleness

"Cedar Waxwings" PrintFreshness makes things lovely
Freshness makes people easygoing
Freshness makes the conversation interesting
Freshness makes food delicious
Freshness makes me curious
 
Staleness makes things boring
Staleness makes people mean and difficult
Staleness makes the conversation run dry
Staleness makes food unappetizing
Staleness makes me wanna run away...
 
What's in between?
Holding on the same attitude
Bearing getting unfresh
Pretending to be interested
Less smile and laugher
Maybe a little bit stressed...
 
That's how I just got tonight...

Lately Greg told me a interesting stuff -- pixel graphics, that's just like a new game in the internet, some people draw nude body, and some draw clothes and hair and stuff for those nude dolls. and they have so many websites to share their new pixel graphics. It's so amazing that those dolls look very fine. Greg told me the software of doll maker is not difficult at all, so i guess i will try it and show my own pixel design here later.

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!

high school uniform

When we were waiting in the car for my mom going vegetable shopping in Kaoxiong, we saw this guy who looked about 50 years old (the left one) was wearing a high school uniform, we guessed he was wearing his son's, haha... looked so weird... maybe he was really a old high school student? or all his shirts were laundered so he borrowed this uniform from his son????

Old stamps

What do you think can record the history of a country? papers? music? books?
During my family cleaned the house (this is a must-do in Chinese new year -_-!), my dad took out his old stamp albums, and showed me page by page again. Both of my dad and i enjoy stamp collecting,but my dad is a greater collector, all his albums are still very nice, mine... umm... never mind... @_@! anyway, many of those stamps are older than 30 years old, and all the graphics were hand-drawn, not just photos. I really like hand-drawn graphics! look, this set of the stamps are from Hungary, i guess the flowers on them probably stand for some meaning to Hungary. About twenty years ago, My dad got these Mongolian stamps from my uncle who worked in the airport. In that time Taiwanese goverment  didn's admit Mongolia's independence, so anything from this country was not allowed to be imported. woo.. my dad kept them secretly... hehe... in fact, my dad got a lot of stamps from my uncles, includ this from Mainland China, it's one of the commemorative issues for celebrating the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Peoples Republic Of China, the coolest thing is they printed both lyrics and notation of their national anthem on the stamp, man, i like it! ^_^
Viet Cong is past about 25 years ago, but something belong to this vanishing country still excit, surprisedly, my dad also keeps some of them, their national ensign, and some news also were recorded on their stamps, look this one, it seems like voting or something.
there are so many cool ones that i cant photograph each of them, maybe later..
 

Gotcha! Music!


It is really cool that I found this vedio/audio search engine coincidently today! so I got some online songs that i'd been searching for a long time! yay~ I found "Ben Folds - Pholosophy" " Ben Folds - Evaporated" !!! that's way neat !
