cheer up!

Negative emotions, feelings:

– depression

– sadness

– pressure

– helplessness

– hopelessness

– mood swings – moodiness

– apathy

– frustration

– fear

What makes you feel that?

What are your methods to cheer up?

How do you relax? Relax efficiently!

• friends – what can they do?
• family – are they helpful?
• party! – are you in the mood?
• alcohol – how does it affect you?
• massage
• different environment – travel?
• music – what kind of music relaxes you?
• hobby – be creative, do what you really like – painting, music, art!

It’s important to solve the problems that cause your sadness. What if the problems can’t be solved?

• visit at the psychologist’s?…
• coffee time
• reading… poetry? Some people say it helps. Do you understand it?

Ignoring problems – maybe sometimes … but sooner or later they will return.

• meditation
• yoga
• bubble bath
• deep breathing

How to be optimistic?

Can food make you happy? Shopping?

冰冰

最近很经常去游泳.. 今天很特别的! 一个男人邀请我去午饭. 他也经常游泳, 我认识他. 他叫冰冰 – 他告诉我他喜欢男人… 虽然他已经结婚了. 我们聊天一下, 很放松了!

***

你无可替代 – nothing compares to you, nothing can replace you

萎靡不振 – in low spirits, apathetic

心如死灰 – hopelessly apathetic

smoking

How does smoking make you feel? I know it’s bad for health, but let’s talk about that pure pleasure of holding a cigarette in your hand… Wow. Too cool! Well, perhaps I’m getting more immature, because I think the cigarettes can chenge my self-esteem. Perhaps, I don’t deny it.

And I don’t smoke everyday. Not every week. And not every month. Just a couple of cigarettes a year. A couple of puffs… Oh yeah, feels different now.

swans

A little sad. The weather is bad, raining. I’m alone at home, just came back … I had a nice coffee time with Freeman, my ex-student. Why sad? What do I want? Maybe that’s just me. Never satisfied with what I have. Childish and spoiled. High expectations are always bad. I guess it’s better to have none.

I spotted some swans at the lake. Took some pics.

成语

爱屋及乌 – love me, love my dog我爱屋及乌的喜欢。。。

一心一意 – refer to specific ideas, not others

三心二意 – half-hearted

两全其美 – satisfy both sides, have it on both ways

一日不见如隔三秋 – 意思是我很想你。

花言巧语
油嘴滑舌
油腔滑调

catch up

Today I met several friends I haven’t seen for some time. First of all, my ex-colleague, V. We haven’t contacted for about 2 years, even though we both live in Hangzhou. During that time she got pregnant, gave birth to a baby daughter, changed a job.. many things have changed. It was good to talk, although her little daughter was quite loud!Before that I met another V. (Victor), my old students whom I haven’t seen for… 4 years! My god, such a long time, but I still could remember his Chinese name! It turned out that he’s got another baby, this time a boy – congratulations! Although … because it’s his second baby and he didn’t want to be fined for that, his wife delivered it in Hong Kong. Well, that’s also a solution.
And last but not least – Jack, the cute waiter from Japanese restaurant! Oh, it was so lovely to catch up! Finally I felt happy, for the first time in many days.

burn it down

New leader this week, as Linkin Park is storming onto number 1. That’s not the first time they are on the top – I still remember “In The End”, “Numb”, “Somewhere I Belong”, “Breaking The Habit”, “The Catalyst” and “Burning In The Skies” (so it’s even not the first time they sing about burning!). Impressive achievements!
Maroon 5 jumped into the top 3 which is also a good job, considering the fact that “Come Away To The Water” hasn’t been released as a single.
Only one new entry is Jason Mraz’s new single titled “93 Million Miles ” which exchanged “I Won’t Give Up” falling down from the chart. Jason is continuing the string of his big hits!
