it's about perspective

G is the Brit professor that gave all the staff a headache when he's on board.
He is rude. inconsistent. impatient. and make sarcastic jokes and write crazily in the emails.

However, Al was telling me he was very very cute yesterday upon receiving exchange students from Japan. Not only he speaks Japanese, but also made funny jokes. And the kids loved him, took pictures with him.

Funny jokes? Adorable?

I guess he is still the same person I know.
However, I guess different charm works in different context.

It's the perspective, baby. ;)

AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

never apologize for the truth
never apologize for the truth
never apologize for the truth

I can empathize
I can sympathize
and I also have to do my job

don't feel bad
don't feel stupid
if this has to be done, this has to be done

if I cannot change the rule
then I need to obey it
and protect people from getting trouble

YES!

replied a clueless and confusing email with elegance and preciseness.
feeling good.
I am so cool~

Also, thanks my supporting colleague and supervisor.;)

memory

I was browsing our Ofoto albums
saw this picture.
the guy was in such a deep sleep in the morning train
I pretended to take picture of baby so I can take a shot

I almost forgot about it, until I saw it today.
I don't remember which train we were on in Kansai
don't remember where we were going
don't remember what date it was
but looking at it reminds me how fun our trip was.

every trip I came back, I used to write down the details
so a few years later, when I look back, I will remember where I have been
or, like a diary, I always wanted to writ down, so I will remember what happened.

however, more and more, I realize
for the places I've visited, things I've been through, people I've met
even I will forget, it doesn't change the fact, it has happened

I don't have to remember every single one of them
the truth is, it has happened
at that very moment, it once took place in my life
at the time it will never be given back.

If I am lucky enough to have a trace of the memory
just like the picture
It will put a smile on my face

Casablanca by Higgins Bertie

overheard this beautiful song from Taiwanese online radio.
----


I fell in love with you watching Casablanca
Back row of the drive in show in the flickering light
Popcorn and cokes beneath the stars became champagne and caviar
Making love on a long hot summers night

I thought you fell in love with me watching Casablanca
Holding hands 'neath the paddle fans in Rick's Candle lit cafe
Hiding in the shadows from the spies. Moroccan moonlight in your eyes
Making magic at the movies in my old chevrolet

Oh! A kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not a kiss without your sigh


Please come back to me in Casablanca
I love you more and more each day as time goes by

I guess there're many broken hearts in Casablanca
You know I've never really been there. so, I don't know
I guess our love story will never be seen on the big wide silver screen
But it hurt just as bad when I had to watch you go

Oh! A kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not a kiss without your sigh
Please come back to me in Casablanca
I love you more and more each day as time goes by
Oh! A kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not a kiss without your sigh

Please come back to me in Casablanca
I love you more and more each day as time goes by
I love you more and more each day as time goes by

yes. I can make myself happy.

delivered my 8th speech in TM.
though I've been down these two days.

put my personal emotion aside,
I talked about foreign travel, which I am passionate about.

Iris gave me several huges from the begining of the meeting
Lyle gave me a very encouraging and positive evaluation
and then, I made a change:

instead of running back to the office right after the end of the meeting.
I stayed.
Carmen told me the grammatical mistakes can be improved
Bob reminded me to put the notes down so I can make fully eye contact with people
Manual enthusiastically spoke to me the tip to hide a note is paste in behind the prop
....I can see their passion. I can find their confirmation from their eyes.
and I am so pleased to find out, I can make myself happy.

I don't need to be a baby needing for mommy's attention
I don't need to be a princess waiting for a knight's rescue
I don't need to be a flower eager for a rain drop.
I can make the first move.
Reaching out, fighting back, dancing around
I can make myself happy.
And let the world to make me happy.

it just warms my heart

a low-key Monday
a little blue
cannot concentrate

was quiet in the morning, and turned to be lots of interruptions in the afternoon.

just when I felt I had enough
I heard someone calling my name

(what's now?!) I thought, annoyed.

and it's Rie
asking me if I want to go home together
since her husband is picking her up, she offers so I don't have to take the bus.

it just warms my heart. every time.
when I thought I had enough
when I thought the whole world is against me.
here it is, a little angel will come out
warms me
so I can smile, from the bottom of my heart

I love this world

Mr. Blue Sky

I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
It's the most romantic movie I've ever seen!
I am not a fan of Jim Carrey, yet I really like him in this film.
This is the kind of movie that Baby and I will watch when we are 70 years old and still enjoy it.

Sun is shinin' in the sky,
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin'
Everybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day.
Runnin' down the avenue,(Pant, Pant, Pant)
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets
Where once was pity,
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today.

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why,
You had to hide away
For so long where did we go wrong.
Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do,
Everybody smiles at you.
Hey you with the pretty face,
Welcome to the human race
A celebration Mr. Blue Sky's
Up there waitin' and today
Is the day we've waited for

Mr. Blue you did it right,
But soon comes Mr. Night,
Creepin' over, now his
Hand is on your shoulder,
Never mind I'll remember you this way.
