Spoliator

Sometimes I don’t see those people who rob money in streets just for living as spoliators, but sometimes, I do. I came from the great city, Beijing, where troops of the The Eight-Nation Alliance invaded and occupied on August 14, 1900, ransacking and pillaging of many historical artifacts of Chinese origin. This has been national humiliation for our Chinese people and I never forget and forgive anything about it.

I know I did a terrible thing of being ‘robbed’ by people who was doing charity for commemorating British wars, which I shouldn’t have made. I felt way too guilty. How come I gave them money? It didn’t concern me. I should have asked them more money for those who contributed life for the liberty of our country. How come I gave them money to let them know I already forgave what they did which I didn’t? I am trying to ask them, when you asked me for charity, do you even think of breaking into our country, stealing our possession and killing our people and even occupying our territory? It should be you giving our everything back, isn’t it? Ok, here I am not saying that I do not wanna make charity. But I must be clarifying that the money given to you was not to try to cover your and our history, instead, it was to me to finger-cross this world with no more hunger, no more battles, and no more death. And now, I feel less guilty. Whatever I give you, I NEVER FORGIVE YOU, I LOVE MY COUNTRY. Jesus, I am begging for mercy…

Oriental Party

Leon and I were invited to join an oriental party today. It went so great and so original because Yooni asked us to bring her very traditional food from our own country and get together to enjoy them. Actually we have been figured that out since yesterday and have decided to cook Chinese pork rips and diced chicken. We got up so early this morning and started cooking. Speaking that, actually we have never made them before in China and took the first try today with our suspicion. It was late a bit when we got Yooni’s house, where lots of friends were waiting us up who come from Japan, Korea and Italy. I got very nervous as Yooni called everybody taking seats because I was not quite sure they would love the Chinese food I had cooked. Surprisingly it turned out that they loved them and almost finished them all, which was very flattering for us.

Moving forward, we kept eating and chatting about the different culture from different country until so late, and we ended up this party with playing Monopoly, which was really fun because I finally won this game and became so ‘rich’. I had great time with them anyway, and definitely make it next time.

Be cool

What’s wrong with me lately? I don’t get it at all about myself! It was unbelievable that I could easily get mad for just no reason. Speaking of no reason, there is a little anyway, but I can’t say exactly what’s going on with me. Being so emotional is what I’ve been so far.

Today was supposed to be happy for me and Leon. We went to Regent street for shopping and came back to get some food. Finally we ended up today with fighting for a very stupid jean-cleaning issue and didn’t get through it as well as it was supposed to be. Storming out the door, I threw it away and wanted to get a new one, because I didn’t wanna see it anymore to recall my bad memory. Actually now it was not that bad for me who stayed calm already after being so mad. However you don’t know how much more mad I was then, because we couldn’t reach an agreement on certain issue before a compromise was made that we should have respected each other at least. Although we know it happens often, we are trying to let it not bother our life as much as we can. Hopefully it works.
