Mom and I met a very cute couple today at Oakland's Chinatown. We were sitting in front of the library this afternoon and we saw a very happy looking couple walking towards us.
He was holding her hand and they looked very much in love. Both were smiling when they walked towards us and sat down at the green metal bench. She was wearing a purple sweater and he was wearing a nice dark suit. I smiled at them and they smiled back. I looked at mom and we both smiled at them.
We kept smiling at them because they were so beautiful so finally they walked over and we moved over to be next to them. We said hi and we started talking. They told us that they live right at the tall building over there and they come down pretty often. They go to church and they loved to dance as well as walking around. We talked about the economy, where we'd lived, and how many languages we can speak. It was a very nice time and the conversation was very happy.
I couldn't help myself but to tell them that they looked so sweet and cute together. Mom and I also complemented on how beautiful her long hair was. Actually they both have beautiful hair. Hers was long & flowy and his was nicely trimmed - silver. Mr. Young is now 84 and I am sure Mrs. Young is somewhere up there.
A very lovely couple and a very sweet encounter. May God bless them and bless those who are blessed because of their love for one another.

Happy Father's Day
Tomorrow is Father's Day. Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. Happy Father's Day to my Heavenly Father. And to my late father and all my guy friends who are dads out there - Happy Father's Day to all of you guys.
Received an email that an old friend has been recently diagnosed with gallbladder cancer. It's a very rare type of cancer and not much as been done or researched about gallbladder cancer. The doctor found out about it only after she had her gallbladder removed. WOW!!! Thank God for the minor surgery. She is now waiting to hear from the head oncologist of UCSF's gallbladder cancer team.
Her faith in God is strong. God has provided to her and her family so I believe He will continue to provide for my friend.
I have been going through some personal issues. Maybe this is what people called mid-life crisis.
From 0 - 21 years old: The beginner stage. Learning all the basics of life.
From 22 - 42 years old: The fine tuning stage. Continue Education in Life University. Refining all the skills learned from the beginner stage and personality fine tuning. The fine tuning continues until the day we died.
From 43 years old and on: The harvester stage. Having learned all the basics of life and have received some serious fine-tuning, the time has finally come to start living purposefully.
What's my purpose in life? What is your purpose in life?

Last Chance Lis....
What does last chance mean? Does it mean that once you missed the opportunity you will never have it again? Does it mean that there are no other chance or surprises waiting for you? Do we believe in last chance or do we have faith in God that He will provide if He wills? Do we believe in saving the best for last or just grab whatever seems reasonable or available? What about if things aren't meant to be, does it mean that there won't be anymore chances? What then?
Would last chance really be THE last chance or would this so call last chance only be one of the many hurdles we have to jump through before we reach our final destination? What about in a relationship? What is last chance?

Buddies are in town
My buddies are all in town. Hurray!!!! No need to check emails.
One of the buddies is sick. I hope he'll get well soon.
Stayed home to take care of the sick buddy so I didn't get to travel with the others. Amazingly, while worrying about the sicky, I was missing the others. Kept on thinking and wondering what the other guys were doing and even feared one of them would catch cold coz it's COLD.
Got to come up with some marketing ideas now......

月亮爸爸
今天的月亮圓又亮，高高的掛在天空中。
每次見到月圓，我就想起圓爸爸。
小時候，每到中秋月圓的時候，
父母親就帶我就全家去麼士公園玩。
父親就會跟我們一塊兒唱童謠。
月亮爸爸
月亮爸爸，照進他家，
他家有個兔子，吃我的豆子，
我拿棍子打它，出去，出去，出去。
每次看到月圓，我就回憶起童年時與父親唱童謠的時刻。
很想念圓爸爸…
好快的，父親回天家已快要半年了。
主啊，請你代候我的圓爸爸。

剪刀、石頭、布
剪刀、石頭、布
有些人是人見人愛
有些人就三句嫌多
同事也有好幾種
有些人會成為死黨
有些人很會利用人
有些人愛爭權奪利
公司裡有死黨 – 幸福
在公司裡被利用 – 活該
碰到爭權奪利的人 – Run away
剪刀、石頭、布 – 你是那一種人呢？

Long time
It's been a 2 months since I last blogged.
Started my new job on Jan 8 at Berkeley. In a flash, it's been 2 months already.
Unlike my previous jobs, I am now the only girl in the team at the Berkeley location. Yup, all guys, loving it and it's wonderful. So this is how my team looks - my boss, me and another PM, then there's an assistant PM. My boss is great - a good leader. He's also a big teddy bear and loves to joke or play games. The other co-workers are also very nice, the other PM is very calm and Assistant PM is funny - likes to talk to himself. They all say that the other PM and I are at opposite ends - me being high energy (aka high maintenance.) Hahaha...
We have 2 crews of interviewers, day & night, all guys during the day and all girls but one at night. Different dynamics and a small UN. Good.
Work hours are kind of long. I am there mostly from 8am to about 6:30pm everyday and from time to time, I'd work until 8pm. Just stating fact.
But I don't have to drive so much anymore. Officially, I am about 12-13 miles away from home but since I am taking 80, it takes about 30 minutes or so to commute. No more bridge toll. Loving it.
I still miss my father very much. I don't cry as much as before but would go into these non-stop crying session from time to time.
Because of my crazy work schedule, I feel that I am out of touch with a lot of things and with people. Too tired to do anything and don't have energy.
