I'm back...

Time sure passes fast when you're having fun. I left Cincy on Saturday morning and just returned about a hour ago from San Francisco. Let's just say that I love it so much there that I'm considering moving down there in the next two years or so. There is no place on the world that I fit more into than San Fran. I know I can't say that now since I haven't been to other places but damn! It's beautiful and there was food everywhere we turned! Once I catch up on my sleep I'm going to transfer all my pictures. I can't wait to see them either ^_^

Question raised...

Today I had a really busy day by my standards. I had my interpreting job to go to and then after that it was over to watch Match Day at the medical school. The feeling that I had while watching the event was eye-opening if I were to put it into a word. For some reason I kept seeing myself walking up and reading my own letter of where I was accepted to. Even though I tried I could not hold back from telling Mai about what I wanted to do and if I were in their shoes...things like that. I wish.
One part of the match was really romantic. One of the medical students proposed to his girlfriend when she went up with him. He had her read his match for him and all of a sudden she just said "yes". He filled in the blank by saying "I asked her to marry me". Than she just started crying and he hugged her and they both made their way down the steps together w/o reading his match. All I wanted to know was where did he end up? They got a standing olvation for that.
I met with Michael again for the first time since I came back from China in the end of October. For some reason I feel like he has been avoiding me recently. We went together to my ex-Chinese teacher's home for dumplings. I made Michael take us to a place so we could buy a gift per the tradition of it being rude to go to someone's home empty handed. My question is...Do you think it is rude to make the guest take back home the gift that they brought for a party? She told us that she did not drink wine that much and so would not accept our gifts. I felt kind of offended though...
For some reason I felt like a heavy set of handcuffs were set on me the day that I married Zhen. Even though he is the same person and allows me as much freedom as I feel comfortable with...everyone else is different. Almost all my guy friends treat me differently now. They see me as taken meat and they can not even talk to me safely without hurting themselves it seems. I'm kind of sad that I can not be friends with these guys now.

Genetic Memory

I just got finished watching a "marathon" of x-files reruns and the last episode had to do with a murderer who resurfaced after 50 years. Who it really turned out to be was the murderer's granddaughter who recently found out that she was pregnant and had been acting out through her genetic memory. I personally don't believe in such a thing. Through my biology knowledge I see it more as an "instinctual" behavior with certain genes coding for those "instincts". Now that sounds almost like the same thing. Maybe I'm just giving a lot of bull...well it is 3am and I can finally go to bed now. I don't get why I torture myself so.

I miss China so much sometimes. 

Fan family picture 

Bored by choice

Maybe I'm being too big of a baby. I can't find any thing to do. Er...well I can. Just nothing I truly want to do. My apartment at the moment looks as if a tornado swept through multiple times. I don't think I'm holding up my end of the marriage bargain really well. Most women would be dutifully cleaning up their house and making sure everything is squeaky clean. While I am sitting in front of the computer grasping for any sign of life outside of my pitiful one.

Another picture of Henry. Run baby! 

My dog Henry. This picture of him is when he was about a month old. Isn't he cute? 

Sleep...why bother?

So what that I'm sitting here almost at 12:30 am on a Sunday night and I barely want to even consider laying my head down on a pillow? I have too many things to ponder about before I can do that. Who am I kidding? I really don't have any issues I really need to think about. Little 'ol un-important me.
Today after going to drop of the CDs I made for the Dragon City's boss's daughter, I went over to Produce (a grocery store full of fresh fruits and veggies at low prices) where Zhen was shopping. I first picked up a bottle of wine and then some treats for later on in the week (possibly for the plane trip over to San Francisco). When we were checking out, two regular young Caucasian girls were scanning and bagging our groceries. Without even a hint of a hello or such, they started going through the motions. Well when they finished almost everything, they mentioned toward the bottle of wine and in one of the most disgusted tones said "we don't sell wine on Sunday's". So I told them "fine, never mind" and went on ahead in getting ready to pay for my purchases. In less than a minute from that incident, the girl who was doing the grocery bagging let out in a screech/shriek "Hi! How are you?" with a huge grin on her face. One would have thought that she met God himself. It was just some Caucasian lady with her grandchild. My point in bringing all this up is I feel that even in this day of age, we (the outsiders, the foreingners, the people of color) are still being treated as dirt. The way those girls treated us, even so unimportant to us in our life...just a small ripple in our ocean...felt like a knife stabbing through all my major organs to me. I cringed when I saw her act toward the other person. I just wanted to dig a hole and bury myself in it. Someday, possibly not when I'm still on this Earth. It will all change.

In the land of blogs...I add yet another

O.K. maybe I am taking on too big of a task to decide that I want to start yet another journal. Us people w/ ADD can't really focus enough to continually write in one place. Just sometimes I can't keep my thoughts straight or just don't have much of a medium to get it out on. I hope that this will be of some help.
I downloaded Desktop Sidebar today due to the advice of PC Mechanic, an e-mail subscription that sends out advice everyday for things internet/computer related. They kind of keep me up-to-date on all those things that I don't come across in my non-techie life. It's so cool and I see so many uses steming from this little program that does not seem to take up too much of the mem of my computer.
I finally told Zhen (my hubby, for those that don't know me) today that I kind of decided to be a nurse since he does not bother too much with the everyday stuff and I have to worry about every little thing since he doesn't. Seriously though, I told him that I don't blame him because it really isn't his fault that he does not know how to deal with those little things and if anyone is to blame it would be me because I chose him for who he is. He told me that I would be a waste if I don't study medicine. I'm fully aware of that...but...
