My Secret Garden

Hi buddies, I am planning a trip to London and Birmingham around the beginning of February 2006. Could you please give me some clue about the whether then? Is it a good time to visit your country? Thanks in advance.

I do not have an answer, but I always have this question for myself. What are your thoughts, my dear blog buddies?

I saw the following in Moondancer's blog, and put it here. I hope Moondance would not mind:

Dont Look Back

As you travel through life there are always those times
When decisions just have to be made,
When the choices are hard, and solutions seem scarce,
And the rain seems to soak your parade.

There are some situations where all you can do
Is simply let go and move on,
Gather your courage and choose a direction
That carries you toward a new dawn.

So pack up your troubles and take a step forward -
The process of change can be tough,
But think about all the excitement ahead
If you can be stalwart enough!

There might be adventures you never imagined
Just waiting around the next bend,
And wishes and dreams just about to come true
In ways you can't yet comprehend!

Perhaps you'll find friendships that spring from new things
As you challenge your status quo,
And learn there are so many options in life,
And so many ways you can grow!

Perhaps you'll go places you never expected
And see things that you've never seen,
Or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds
And wonderful spots in between!

Perhaps you'll find warmth and affection and caring
And somebody special who's there
To help you stay centered and listen with interest
To stories and feelings you share.

Perhaps you'll find comfort in knowing your friends
Are supportive of all that you do,
And believe that whatever decisions you make,
They'll be the right choices for you.

So keep putting one foot in front of the other,
And taking your life day by day...
There's a brighter tomorrow that's just down the road -
Don't look back! You're not going that way!

Just came back from the gym. One-hour steping almost killed this old girl. Read comments from blog buddies, and very apprecaited your time and considerations for my issue. Also read blogs of you guys, and glad to share your happiness, confusions,and craziness (like in the case of lauren6). Blogging has really enlarged my vision about life. So, thank you, all of my blog friends!

(The weekends were not very good as I felt weak for stuplid reasons. But I decided to get everything under perfect control from tomorrow, and never let myself even a little bit out of my mind. I list below some of my favourate movies and fictions, which I can still remember. I do not list those Chinese movies and works which I love a lot, as I will leave them to the next time.)

My Favourate Movies:

Cinema Paradiso; Gone with the Wind; Once Upon A Time In America; Legend of Autumn; Horseman on the Roof; God Father; When Harry Met Sally

My Favourate Fictions:

One Hundred Years of Solitude; Gone with the Wind; The Mayor of Casterbridge; Bleak House; Little Woman; The Little Prince; David Copperfield; The Angel's Rage; L’Amant; A Letter from an Unknown Woman

Though a little tired, still decide to go to gym tonight. Need to work out to lose some weight.

Always believe everything will be new tomorrow, and another tomorrow. Sometimes it is good; sometimes make me find an excuse to be lazy.

Watched two episodes of Ally McBeal last night. The plots are funny but a bit ridiculous.

Want to depict some of my friends and discuss about books and films I like in my blogs. Probably will start doing so from next Monday. Hope I can follow my plan.

(I do not plan to write so many blogs in one day. But as today is my birthday and also the first day I launch my blog, I decide to indulge myself once. Dear readers (if any), I hope you may share your views on the following questions with me.)

1. Is everyone lonely and fragile deeply?

2. Is it stupid and shameful for a woman to tell a man first that she likes or loves him?

3. How much can we do to make ourselves closer to perfection?

4. Is it possible to have a close friend to whom you can open your heart?

5. When you are to make an important decision, whom you usually consult with?

6. Suppose you know that you will die in a month, what will be the last things you want to do?

7. Can men and women be purely good friends?

8. Can pure sex lead to real affection?

9. Are you satisfied with youself?

10. Do you believe in true love?

1. Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.-Tagore

2. If I cannot live without some things or people, then I have to accept and love them. For instance, I have no choice but to love myself and my job.

3. Before I have a better choice, believe that the things I currently own are the best for me, and cherish them.

4. Be nice, kind and helpful to others as much as possible when I am not hurt anyway.

5. Keep smiling.

6. Do not care about age as I cannot stop the pace of time.

7. Enjoy every day.

8. If I really want to do sth. good, do it right away!

9. Always be prepared to learn new things.

10. There is only one thing which is true for sure: everyone will die in the end.
