Happy Be-lated 4th of July

July 5, 2005

Yestery was the Independence day of the United States of America. It was also the first Independence day that I celebrated since I’ve became a U.S. citizen. Like last year, I went to the Congress park to see the fire works, and ice cream at Ben & Jerry afterwards. However, unlike last year, this year I have a much lighter mood.
I was kind regret that I did not go back to NYC. NYC has this BIG Macy’s firework show every year, and I think this year is my fourth time missing it. 2001, I went back to China; 2003, Germany; 2004, in college, and 2005 in college as well. Every year at this time, it is more like a family gathering for us. My relatives would usually come to my home, and we would watch it from our balcony since our apartment is on the 20th floor. I have not gone to see the “live” one yet, and I would reallie love to see it. I just feel that this year could be the perfect time, fits my mood and kinda fits my schedule as well. But anyway, too late.
I’m planning to end my work after the first week of August. It is kind early. I will have almost 3 weeks of free time in NYC. I have decided to take the driving lessons with my friend last night. I seriously have no confidence about driving, because I can still lost control when I bike even though I’ve biked for so many years. I lack the “sport neve.” But, I know that I will need to get it soon or later, and by taking the driving lessons would make me feel that I did not waste my whole summer! LOl…

I am a talk show lover

June 14, 2005

各类的电视节目,我最喜欢看谈话性的。像是这里的Oprah Show, 中国的《艺术人生》,还有台湾的《康熙来了》。虽然听的是别人的故事, 但往往能从他人的想法和经历中找到共鸣,或启发。
喜欢keeping everything to oneself 的人往往得承受巨大的心理压力,并且引发忧郁症。I think I belong to this group of people. It is not that I do not like to share with others, but it is because I care about how others will think of me afterwards. In a way, it must be a sign of unconfidence and self-consciousness. Yes, I clearly understand the hidden psychological reason behind it, so what? I am still unwilling to make any positive changes. I am trying hard to stop myself from becoming a hermit, not physically, but psychologically.

When human-created creatures are controlling over humans

June 10, 2005

My third entry of the day…
I’m watching Spider Man II at this very moment. I watched the first one couple weeks ago, and liked it alot. The second one seems as good as the first one so far.
Interesting topic: ordinary boy -> Super Hero -> ordinary again ? not sure, since I haven’t up to the end at this point
My beloved settings: New York City, Chinatown, Columbia University campus,
Just like when I was watching I-Robot, I feel terrifiying just by thinking the fact that there is a possbility when humans become out of control of the creatures they’d created on their own.
Got tomorrow off. Planning to bike to town, work out, and have fun.

Still searching for a landing place

June 9, 2005

I’m still trying to search for a comfortable cyberspace . I found this place from Sof, and she made it pretty and warmful so I thought I should give a try too. I have accounts in more than 5 blog sites, and I always give up on them after one entry or two. I just feel those blogs are too technical. Unlike the sites we used to create on our own, we can feel lives in them.

Working currently, another slow day. I started at 11, so I have to leave at 7, still a long way to go.
I don’t want to play computer games anymore, they hurt my eyes too much. I don’t want make my eye sights even worse after the summer.
