Wow it's been too long for me to write anything here. My apologies.
I was watching Desperate Housewives S08 last night, Bree, one of my favorite ladies, is now in a very bad situation. Bree: " I had a perfect life, a doctor husband, two BEAUTIFUL children, a succesful business and a few LOVELY friends who loved me and my family and would just do anything for me..." She kind of reminded me of myself. It reminded me of the beautiful things and friends i had that i didn't cheirsh enough. I had a really good life. I have had a couple friends that i loved really dearly and i miss them. Things are so different now that we are moving on or we have moved on.
It makes me wonder how comes a super close relationship would come to an end. I can't figure it out but i got a conclusion that when a relationship has to come to an end, the closer you were, the more distant you would be after the breakup.
Sorry, so far that's not really an update but how i have been feeling lately.
Now, the update :) I have moved to Shijiazhuang, the capital city of Province Hebei, due to work since June and i have a new position here too, secretary of the Foreign Affair Office of our headquarter company! omg, i have to say I love this position here! it's exactly what i want my job to be. I remember how upset i was when they assigned me to the substation department, i felt i would be either electrocuted or fired because of my super strong fear of the electricty lol ok maybe i'm exaggering a bit :D it's cool but it can be nerve-wracking and exhausting when you have to deal with those foreign people and you are trying to impress your boss with an excellent job. but overall, i love it here. i love the job and my super sweet boss. She can be really difficult sometimes but very nice most of the time. She has helped me grow so much the past few months. i am very truely grateful.

God opens a window somewhere
Well, i'm still feeling torn up inside.
Here's my story: Right before i headed off to work this morning, Julee called me :" where are you! did u forget we're having a meeting today?" OH.MY.GOSH i did forget and i was awefully late. i took a cab there, everyone was there staring at me who was breathing heavily and terribly emabarrassed :( It was a sign of my bad day!
well, as you all know that we were switching among all the divisions of the company so that we would get a general idea of how the company is running. However, seems like every division is in bad need of people. so the swithing thing ended. we were permanently assigned! Guess what?! I was assigned to a substation.!!!!! I was like geeze are u HR people blind?! a GIRL-me who majored in English was assigned to a substation?! can you believe that? FYI, what a substation person would be basically is to monitor the machines and close circuit breakers to recommence the supply of power(makes sense?) so, Obviously it's really not sth girls would fancy and more importanly this job doesn't fancy girls. For one second i felt like God was messing with me.
I came home upset. my parents and granny was SOO worried, they were like honey are you okay? me- no, obviously not! them-what happend? so i told them i was assigned. and they tried to console me but i just wanted them to leave me alone! No need to say i got them worked up. *sigh* sorry....
C'est la vie. Life always throws us curveballs. However there are always ups and downs!!! God closes a door, he will/has oppen(ed) a door somewhere i know it! I will have to do good at work! i've been using this excuse-oh i didn't major in electric engeering, i don't think i can do this. I will prove it wrong! I can do it!
I want to say Thank you to my parents, Granny and my brother-Jeremy. thank you for being there for me! It means so much! I love you ❤

The First Time Officially Being a Teacher
Ok, I just got off work and still am excited.
People who know me, know how much i dislike people call me "teacher". Jer used to call me that which made me feel like I'm already 40 lol haha well, that's not really the reason. i guess it's just i never see him as my teacher or student.
Anyway, it was the first time i was truely glad to hear people call me that. The kids are real cute :) and they speak very cute English. Eg: " I and my friend not have pen, so Mia give us pens" " on my way back home, i saw spiderman, i wish i am him, becuz it not had any homework... haha what she was trying to say was she wish she were the spiderman cuz he didn't have any homework".. funny funny. There was one moment that i felt really emabarrassed. so i noticed most of them tend to read "th" like "s" . so i asked them to make up a story with "think" and "thank" so that they could practice reading them. Angel went and say :" I really like Mia, she helps me learn English... ... " when she was talking she was looking at me in my eyes. then it came to her ending-I want you say "sex", i got blushed right away, i was like what? what was she talking about?! then i asked her to repeat her ending, this time she went slow, she said " i want u say sanks" oh my gosh! see how important it is to say words correctly!! i realized what she meant was she wanted to thank me >_<
Near the end of this class, i asked them to write me some feedbacks, see below.
so basically they thougt that i look pretty and my English is good :)
blew is a pic that i took for my students :)

22nd Birthday
my parents don't really celebrate birthdays. I guess "birthday celebration" is more of a western thing seriously. As far as I know many people like my parents' age don't celebrate their birthdays. some of them celebrate their kids' birthdays though.
When i was little, I was so very jealous of my little buddies who got birthday cakes, gifts, etc. Mom and Dad were like " honey, we don't do it, it just doesn't make much sense. the day u were born was when mom was in great pain ( physically)... plus, we love you not in the way celebrating ur birthday honey..." to a little kid, it just doesn't make sense.. i still wanted a birthday celebration so much... i still remember how excited i was to have the first birthday cake that i begged a lot, the first Teddy Bear from my cousin.. somehow as i grow older i miss that kinda "crave" for birthday and that eagerness for being grown up.
It's my lunar bday today. me ane Emily went to one of my favourite restaurants for lunch. we had steak, pasta and stuff which were real good, we both were so stuffed hehe.
I don't look forward to birthdays anymore whatsoever! The bday is nothing but telling me that i'm getting older. well, I'm not upset by me getting older but that time goes so fast. The Renaissance has a term, carpe diem, translated from Latin means seize the day, that is, live every day to the fullest. However, i can't do it, many times i just lazy around doing nothing.( i don't mean to sound pessimistic, i'm actually an optimistic person. I guess i've been too stressed lately from school and everything.) Jer made fun of me saying that I like to be lazy around more than he does in Chinese of course. well, actually i think he is right. he's so studious.
anyway, I had a really good day today. Emily is a really sweet friend. I'm so blessed to have her :) I'll be good and make the best of every day :)

Bible study
I seriously started reading&studying Bible last semester. My friend Jeremy's been helping me a lot!
Actually i read Bible a bit 3.5 years ago finding it confusing and boring. I guess the confusion brought up the boredom. (please don't laught at me) i watched House Season5 Episode 15 and I even didn't realize the guy that showed up in the patient's illusion was Jesus at the first sight. There're (still) things that i don't/didn't understand: why do people bother to fast ( i thought fasting=starvation, thanks to Jer, i got it now) themselves; why are people supposed to be sooo kind and generous that they could love their enemies and forgive people who've done bad things to them; How do people store up for themselves treasures in heaven (by being nice to people?), etc. However, I guess God also let us to question him. He won't expect us to obey him all along. We're not his slaves but children and he loves us that's why we pray to, love, or even be mad at our Father.
Seriously I am falling in love with Bible which is full of wisdom, advice, etc. I started from Matthew and I just finished Matthew 6. Below are things i took from Matthew that i really like .
One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God-Matthew 4-3
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Matthew: 5-8
Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evial against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew: 5-11
Give to everyone who begs from you, and do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you. Matthew 5-42so that your alms maybe done in secret;and your Father who sees it in secret will reward you. Matthew: 6-4(to be continued)
well, it's easy to just read Bible. It's way hard to perform what Bible says, but i'm getting there :)
