public transportation and relationship

while waiting for the bus to come, I just realize that boyfriends/girl friends are like public transportation, if you missed the first one, or it goes past you, there will be another one arriving sooner or later,

"Sometimes it is true, love comes as a result of a definite cause outside the soul, but then it passes away when the cause itself disappears, one who is fond of you because of a certain circumstances may turn his back on you when that motive no longer exist"

"Ibn Hazm"

hallelujah

Hallelujah Lyrics

Well, I heard there was a sacred chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya
Well, it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

These days, My feeling is up and down, black and blue, high and dry; I tumbled across youtube and found out the favorite scene from the movie Swinger; it's inspiring me at this moment,


"you don't look at the thing that you have, you only look at the stuff that you don't have,
she won't call because you left, she got her own life to deal with,she is the sweet girl, but you have to get on with your life ... the future is beautiful, look out the windows, it's sunny every day...,

Sometimes it still hurts, you wake up every day, it hurts a little bit less, and you wake up one day, it doesn't hurt at all, it's kinda funny, but it's kinda weird, but somehow you almost miss that pain,... "

list for tomorrow,

I can't sleep, and don't know what to do, so log in here, uhm, things to do tomorrow, :
1, leave cellphone at home, yet, it's a good idea, sometimes I feel like I become more and more dependent on my cellphone, keep checking my cellphone every single minute to see if I miss any call from someone, hmm, tomorrow, leave the cellphone at home, free myself,
2, find a good place to have a cup of coffee and enjoy the day ( a one fine carefree day)
3, catch any good movie out there
4, having my hair cut, ( Still debating what style ,,, any good picture or recommendation, really appreciate, my hair is quite long now)
5, sign up for employee insurance benefit

I am sick , just some symptoms of a common cold,but these days because of the swine flue pandemic, and several cases of swine flu have been found in LA, California, so everyone in my family is so paranoid, asking me a lots of questions, like do you have cough, do you have fever??..
and eventually I am getting confused whether i have flu or a cold,
okay, I have runny nose, mild fever, mild coughing, sneezing alot, I feel sleepy in the afternoon, but no body-fatigue syndrome,
so cold or flu?????? AHHHHHHHh

LUSH,

I went to valley fair the other day, and dropped by Lush store, Lush is the fresh homemade cosmetics with all organic,natural ingredients, no animal tested, I asked the cashier if I can take some pictures of these handmade soap, looks pretty yummi to me with all the different shape and style ,

some pics from SF again

if you happen to travel to Northern California, the first place where the Northern Californian suggest is San Francisco,( with all of the hype about Golden gate bridge, Fisherman Wharf, Lombard street), ..
The funny thing is : even though I live in Northern California, but I am not familiar with all the locations, all the streets, and have no idea where to hang around or have fun in the city. so just want to inform you ahead of time that I am not a good tour guide , lolz

anyway, below are some pictures I took in SF,

Gold gate bridge in a cloudy , foggy day



forgot what it's called, when I first saw it, It looked so familiar to me like I have seen this place before, back when i was in Vietnam, and then thank goodness to my good memory, my brother had his wedding pictures taken here, a very nice place for any special events,

and here is the Lombard st that people talked about, the most one block steep , twisty, winding st in the world

grilled salmon, hmm, yummi

well, i enjoy cooking, but I enjoy taking pictures of food even more,
i am off today, no work, no stress, mom bought me a slice of salmon, she loves me so she knows I love salmon, (if you love me, you will also know that I love salmon , lolz ),
with some teriyaki sauce, some brown sugar, some olive oil , let the salmon sit in the mixture of the seasoning for 2 hours, and you are ready for the grill

and here is my final , reddish brown salmon, look yummi huh?? :) :)

my small corner

recently i slept on the couch, surfing internet and doing everything on this small table
let me introduce : my teddy bear, a cute ipod, cellular phone holder
and there, a small, special cup of tea, a gift I received from my so at Japanese tea garden in San Francisco
my rubik cube ,as you can see, i am halfway to complete it, ( the two bottom layers are done)
my sudoku book
and the last, but not least, my outdated 3 and a half -year old laptop which I am thinking to replace it with another one, still undecided, any idea???

save it for later

techinical difficulties, the sony ericsson PC SUITe cannot detect my cellphone, crying over the river.......................

Finally it looks okay

Hmm, it takes quite a while for me to edit this page ,
It is so frustrating to change every single detail in HTML code , preview the page, go back and fix the code, lolz,
maybe I have to check out the book : "HTML for dummies ", :)

Rice chicken

I love chicken, and I love rice, so the combination of both is hmm, yummi huh?
my hometown in Vietnam has the traditional Rice chicken which tastes heavenly delicious, and I miss the dish so much, so I decided to give it a try,
looking at the picture, not that bad huh??
