Promoted, not exciting though...

I always believe that passion is what keeps a person spiritually alive. I want a job which I feel passion for and I will keep looking.

停电了

一个人在家

点了满屋的蜡烛

听着陶喆的流沙

 

感受浪漫

 

爱上安静的夜...

今天弄来了一个鱼缸。从此我就要开始养鱼啦!哈哈!
 
我的小乌龟已经进去了,从此这就是它的新家了。一进去它就使劲儿游东游西,对新环境非常好奇。后来游累了,就害羞的躲到桥下面去了。
 
这周末准备去买鱼,把这个鱼缸弄得美美的。
 
据说养鱼可以开运。希望是真的。Wink

最近的生活:上班,游泳,看奥运。
 
上班:月中真好,没那么多杂事儿,没那么多deadline,再加上最近也没什么大的project,每天都能正常时间下班儿。发现了一个真理,今天干了明天的事儿,明天并不会变轻松,照样会有一波一波的事儿涌过来,照样会满满的。像现在这样挺好,对自己好一点儿,生活远远大于工作本身。
 
游泳:真是锻炼身体,不到50米的泳道,每天10个来回,不管进去的时候多不情愿,每次出来都是脸红心跳喘着粗气,似乎肺都变大了。目前倒还没有明显感觉到精力比从前充沛,但是睡的比从前好了。继续坚持。
 
看奥运:想到奥运就让人兴奋。开幕式真精彩,中国人就是这么牛。各项比赛捷报连连,奖牌数蹭蹭往上蹿。中国队员一项出色,加油!加油!

想回国了

国内地震了
我捐款了
希望这点儿小钱能最终到达中国,帮上点儿小忙。
 
爸妈说国内各地都在组织捐款
他们也参与了
 
希望这些钱都能够真正用到实处,解决些实际问题。
 
只要人心齐,没有办不成的事儿。

我25岁了

我25岁了。
这个数字听上去感觉比较靠近20,呵呵,还不老。
眼睛下面似乎若隐若现有了几条小细纹。让我用眼霜给镇下去了。
青春痘还在不停的出。买了proactive套装,这周是第二周了。说明书上说6周内见效。老公建议我多喝水,多睡觉。
 
生日礼物,老公给的惊喜,2张歌剧的门票,“Man de la Mancha”,唐吉歌德的故事。
一个半月前他就偷偷定了票,为了定到正中间并且离舞台较近的位置,感动。
小不点儿的时候怎么没去学歌剧。听到台下持续不断热烈掌声的时候一定会激动的掉眼泪。
再次深切体会到歌剧是多种艺术的综合体,是多个艺术家共同合作的艺术结晶。
一台好的歌剧后面,必定有杰出的作家,作曲家,歌唱家,演员,舞蹈家和一队杰出的交响乐团。
完全理解为什么闭幕的时候所有在场观众都起立鼓掌直到所有演员退幕完毕才慢慢开始离开座位。
找到了下面这个片断,供大家欣赏:
 
这是第2次去看歌剧。第一次在墨西哥,和公婆一起去的。“Carmina Burana”
那个场面很大,也很著名。找到下面这个只有交响乐的片断,供大家欣赏。
 
我很喜欢音乐,尤其对创作型歌手情有独钟,比如王力宏。他们不卖笑,不耍酷哗众取宠。他们奋斗为了更好的作品,而不是更富有的自我。而歌剧正是上百个有这种执著品质的不同领域的艺术家共同奋斗的结果。这种艺术深刻,纯粹,并且博大。
 
有些人活着,给世界留下了些东西。一本好书,一谱好曲,一出好戏,一首好歌。。。
 
我25岁了,我给世界留下了什么,会留下些什么。。。

2。油锅里放葱和姜,然后放鸡翅,时不时翻一翻。

3。鸡翅变色时,倒可乐和酱油。可乐为主,酱油,盐适量。汤汁要基本没过鸡翅。八角也扔进去。盖上盖子煮。

4。汤汁下的差不多了就可以吃了。

旁边再炒个素菜,或者做个菜汤就行了。别忘了做鸡翅之前把米饭蒸上。

 


 



 

 

 

 

 
 

June 22

I realized that my weekend is actually only Friday Night.

It is Friday!! Great!! I have been looking forward to it since Monday. (This does not mean i was not working hard!)
 
I love Friday. There are so many reasons for it.
 
1. I can dress up casualy. No high-heels.
I love to watch girls wearing high-heels, including myself. I love to be tall. Although I am not short at all, I have always been dreaming to be a little taller. I love to be seen in the crowd. But unfortunately, I do not like to wear them really. I get tired easily. I even do not want to walk from the car to the elevator with them. I love my sandals. I can go anywhere with them.(even China) Oh God, they are soo comfortable!
 
2. I can come out from work early.
Wilda always says"Go home! It's 5:30! Nobody is left working in New York. Time to go home!"
Ivan talking through telephone at 4:30 "Hey! You asshole. Where are you going tonight?"
Bradley is yieling "Paintball? Anyone? 10:30 tomorrow morning!"
Rene and I arrived Shiki Sushi at 6:05. This place is always full. We have been there twice during the week, because they have buy 1 get 1 free policy. We love Shiki. The quaulity of food is comparable to Kanki Sushi, and price is only half of Kanki. There were not many people when we arrived. We started to doubt whether their buy 1 get 1 free policy terminated. People started to arrive around 6:30, and we already got our food when they came. Isn't that wonderful!
 
3. My time is in my hand.
It is Friday night! No more DNA meetings, no more BDLite Variable Prepaid Forwards, no more Frogs or FOBO Stats. Take my time, checking out friends' blogs, playing some music, reviewing some old photos. Those Stargazer Lilies I bought on Monday are coming out. So pretty! There are some friends on line, let me get a cup of tea and check out what they have to share with me.
 
Friday night is great! Pity it is too short. There will be a test on tuesday. I've got sth to read tomorrow. We need to go shopping again, no food left at home. We need to cook for next week. There are a pile of clothes to be washed on Sunday.
 
Cann't I just have Friday everyday !!

我还活着

好久都没来这里看看了,别人都说我消失了,今天上来就是为了向大家报告一声,我还活着,而且活的很旺。哈!
 
工作起来,就没有什么自己的时间了,早上出去,晚上回来,吃饭,洗碗,洗澡,就基本到了睡觉的点儿了。
 
新买了房,终于从apartment升级到house了,前后都有花园,正是我梦想中的哪一种。
 
最近累死了,白天上班,晚上回来不是刷墙就是铺地板,工程极其浩大,到今天为止,已经持续了一个多月了,预计这周末就可以把地板铺完了。下周开始买家具。估计又要放进去一个月的时间。买完家具,就可以开始整花园儿了,这个是我最喜欢的部分。
 
邻居家似乎也比较感冒些花花草草,经常买来一些奇花异草添在他家园子里,其实已经很满了,还不停的往进添,我看都能开植物园收门票给人参观了。
 
不过我觉得,布置花园,花草的种类和数量不重要,重要的是层次和格局。以后慢慢买些书来学习学习。。。

寿司

昨天去了旋转寿司,发现寿司还是挺好吃的。这远不是第一次吃寿司了,从前对寿司有偏见,感觉就是拿米骗钱。昨天也不知道是怎么招了,就是觉得好。这人咋就如此善变嘞 ?

讨厌做饭

 
最近越来越讨厌做饭。就是喜欢从冰箱里一拿出来,就能往嘴里放的东西。Rene还眼巴巴的等着我赶紧过去解救他,现在看来是希望不大了,他还是自救吧!
 
我这生活水平到底是提高了还是降低了。最近买做好的食物花了很是不少钱,(并不是说我有钱阿!)可是这类食物一般油大,胆固醇也高。可是做吧,洗菜,切菜,洗肉,切肉,火上功夫,花1。5小时做,5分钟就吃光了。想想实在不划算!一次做好多吧,是省了不少事儿,可是吃完第2天,基本就烦到再也不想看到它了。等到放陈了再统统倒掉。实在是浪费。如果我有很多钱就好了,可以天天去饭店里吃。不知道那些有钱人自己做不做饭。不过他们家里有超级无比大的厨房是可以肯定的。
 
想想最近也干了不少事儿,家具卖的就剩张床了,(今天有人说要,合意的话估计这周开始就要睡地上了。)房子也卖的差不多了,(现在放出去的价有点高,压一压也就出手了。)论文最重要的分析部分也大概有了模样了。
 
准备2月份就搬去北卡了。也就是说,下个月就要跳到我人生的另一个阶段上了。不知道以后还会不会回来上学。想想上学期间还是蛮容易有成就感的。不知道以后工作了会是什么情况。
 
现在深刻意识到自己的背景文化还没和美国文化完全接上轨。后悔为什么没有从一年级就开始疯狂的结交美国朋友,或者rene去北卡就立马找个美国人做room-mate. 人为什么总是到事情过后再回去反省从前没有做足的事情。为什么那些consulting firm就没有生活上的consulting业务,要是发展起来一定会火的。
 
没事儿就坐在椅子上异想天开,哈!我还是就此打住吧。

老公的名字

 

刚认识我老公的时候,总抱怨他的名字“rene” 不好读,读起来还得颤舌头。问过他能不能直接叫他lopez,他说不行,非得让叫rene

 

后来才知道rene这个名字源自法语,意思是重生。他妈妈从前的老板是法国人,叫rene,据说是个大好人,顶好顶好那种。后来给我老公也叫了这么个名字,希望他也长成个大好人。

 

那我给我将来的孩子也起名叫rene好了,那就成了 Rene Lopez Shi. 哈哈!

 

我大学同学的女儿已经出世2周了。这个是我同学中的第一个孩子。身边的人也都陆陆续续的结婚了,过两年就该陆陆续续开始生孩子了。那时候就热闹了,哈!

不能让这里总荒着

 
很久很久没来这里写东西了。今天上来看看,竟然发现了几条新留言。看来朋友们还是惦记着我和我的生活的,所以,我不能让这里总荒着。
 
先对寒假做个简单的总结吧。假期主要做了这么几件事情:
 
1。考了驾照。
从刚开始练车,到买车,到再练车,再到最终去考驾照,算算也有几个月的时间了。其实老早就会开了,可考虑到从nashville搬去北卡,驾照要重新考,本想去了北卡再考就不用费二遍事儿了,但最终还是在nashville先考了。也挺好,心里有种小小的成就感。考官是个老爷爷,很nice很nice, 有种大学教授的稳重气质,老而不衰,搞得我都差点儿有冲动想要变老。现在生活圈子大了,接触的人有不同行业和不同年龄段的。一直很怕老,怕眼角长皱纹,使劲儿抹护肤品,抹到自己心虚。其实,老人也有老人独特的魅力和风采,是岁月赐予的礼物,只要心里充满活力,不管处于哪个年龄段,都可以把生活写成一首烂漫的诗。
 
2。去了downtown博物馆
当天,博物馆里展出的有两个主题。第一个是西方千年珠宝展;第二个是美国后现代艺术。
先说第一个吧,当时展出的珠宝很多,大小展区有十几个,占了整整一层楼的空间,细细地看了一圈下来,发现还是活在现代好。
 
首先从用途上来讲,古代的珠宝,主要用来显示人的财富和地位,珠宝的含义很大程度的侧重在它的社会性上。很像现在有钱人开宝马车,在乎的不只是它实际的用途,更多的是它所带来的社会暗示;现代呢,虽然珠宝依然没有完全失去它社会暗示的作用,但是侧重点已经慢慢的转移到美化生活上来了。一来,现在的珠宝已经成为大多数人经济上都能承受的消费品了。二来,仿真的珠宝非常流行,真品的购买者也实际上承认和接受仿真品的存在和发展,不会介意这妨碍了他们用真品来显示自己。这说明,起码在珠宝这一方面,人们已经慢慢把目光从社会转向自身了,活的更真实,更自我了。
 
然后从质量上来讲,古代的珠宝,一个显著特点--量足。不管是贵重金属,还是稀有石头,量越足说明地位越显赫。当时加工工艺不发达,也就只能在量上下功夫了。现代的珠宝,小巧玲珑,做工精美细致,佩戴起来起到画龙点睛 而不是喧宾夺主的效果。这说明,现在的人们,更多的注重人自身的内在美了,比如,他的气质,风格,举止,处事。美丽由内而外自然流露,而不是靠珠宝的堆砌“显示”出来的美丽。
 
3。去滑了真冰。
大学时就向往去滑真冰,动机是电影中常常出现的男女主角在冰上摔出的美丽爱情。爱情我已经有了,这次经历让我感受到生活其实可以很大很大,也可以很小很小。至于大小,曾经听身边的人说过,如果一个人,没什么学识,没什么追求,上学出来去个很一般的城市,找个很一般的工作,挣很一般的工资,接触很一般的人,过很一般的日子。这样的生活算小;如果一个人,有丰富的学识,明确的人生规划,走遍世界各地,接触各种各样的人,见识各种各样的事。这样的生活算大。
 
我觉得,生活的大小不完全在于成就,还在于个人感受。盲目的做别人公认该做的事,按着别人公认正确的模式生活,我觉得这样的生活应该算小。很佩服张晨玉在blog里提到的她的同事,辞掉大有前途的金融工作,改去滑雪,理由是滑雪才是他的兴趣所在。我觉得他不是弃大从小,而是弃小从大。喜欢他对自己认定的事物的那份坚持,佩服他辞掉工作去滑雪的勇气。衷心祝愿他能最终得到并享受自己所追求的那份幸福感受。
 
基本就这些了,剩下的就是零零散散约朋友吃吃饭,帮朋友养养猫了。

Carmen's new car

 
Carmen got her first car in life.
She loves her car, and she is expecting all the changes it will bring to her.
July 26

Today is not my lucky day

Today I arrive offcie at 9:45 becasue the driver is available at 9:30, and those bosses were already there!! Ft! I arrive everyday at 9 and they could not see it since they arrive at 10. There is no trading, no early meeting in the mornig and why  just today they arrive soo early?  I guess they would just believe I go there everyday at 9:45.  :(
 
Just after I turned on my computer, the boss came and told me that he would check the break even result after lunch. Ft! He just gave me this assignment yesterday afternoon and he said it is with no hurry. I just started and it is almost impossible to show him the result so soon. I have no other choice but work on it like crazy.
 
Uff! Finally I got my result, and it was a little different from what the bank said. Then I started to check all the process I did. And suddenly, my excel file quit on me. I tried to open some webpages, tried to check my email, everything works fine except the excel. Oh my god! This is incredible!
 
Then I went to the risk control office since there is a free computer available. I did my changes, and finally I went to my boss's office to show him my file. And he told me that he is busy on sth else and will not check it today!! I was in such a hurry the whole day just because he said he would check it in the afternoon. Now he told me it was just a joke!!
 
Gosh!! I decided to pack my things and go home. I went back to the risk control office again to get my bag and my documents. And I found the lights were off and door was locked. They all went home, with my things locked inside!!
 
I do  not want to talk more about the traffic I had on my way back. What a day I had!! I just want to go to sleep and get today passed as soon as possible...

Pretty

Ft! Why all the girls in China are soooo pretty!!!!
 
Yesterday, I turned on my ppstream and watched the chinese cooking chanel. The host is a girl. She is young; She is tall; She is in a red top; She is soooo pretty!!! I went to China one month ago. Walking on the street, watching all the pretty girls walking on the street, feeling like in a live fashion show or a national miss selection. They do not have a lot make up, but their skin look really pure and clear. They do not have fancy and expensive clothes, but their fit body make everything look good on them. You have to be really lucky to see a fat girl. Why they are soo pretty!!
 
When I was in China, I always believed that I also have a decent look. Now in US, completely surrounded by fat Mamas,both white and black, feeling myself even more pretty than before.This is my American dream, ha!
 
US is a place without culture. No signiture construction, no special food, certainly, not much feeling of fashion either. I feel sad for those girls, they ahve access to all the chanels of the world. They can see with their eyes what is the meaning of beauty of any country. But they have no root, nothing to lead them to the type of beauty which would be agreed by the rest of the sociaty. They call it "Open". Yeah, right! They have money, a lot of money, so that they can get any fancy brand that come up to their mind. Then what? Messy and lost. Driving on the road of US, you can see resturants of any country you ever heard of or not. They call it "Open". But none of them is really original tast of hometown. I like the Japanese one opened by a Chinese family though.
 
I am worried for myself now. Living in US, in the Mama environment, in the multi-culture messy world. Will I lose myself? Will I be thinking more and more how to earn money and how to make my work more efficient and productive? Will I lose little by little the human side of me? I like my Chinese root, the way to be pretty, the way to treat friends and parents, the way to spend my leisure time, the way to manage my family. I would like to influence my husband with these things and later pass them to my children.
 
What do i do? I guess i can sell the tv and live with my ppstream now.
                   

妹妹 和 我

今天去了妹妹的blog了,很长很长的日志list,看完自己心里有点说不清的感觉。
 
背景音乐是“虫儿飞”,很清玲的音乐,童声,“黑黑的天空低垂,燎亮的繁星相随,虫儿飞,虫儿飞,你在思念谁。”妹妹高三了,妈妈把电脑从她房里搬了出来,妹妹发誓一个月不碰电脑,最后终究没忍住。妹妹打电话去朋友家,听到朋友在哭,被妈妈训了,说嫌她没使劲学习,妹妹说,都长这么大了,要坚强,不要老哭。妹妹和同学生气了,同学送的生日礼物又被要回去了。妹妹说,从前答应过送给她的礼物还是会送的,说过的话会负责。妹妹被点名了:喜欢一个人到什么程度才算是爱---就是贼爱贼爱滴!今年的情人节你怎么过--上课呢。如果时光可以倒流,你希望你现在可以回到几岁--跟在大人屁股后面屁颠屁颠得要糖吃的年龄。如果以生命作代价,你愿意用它换取什么--多换几条命呗。写东西时候遇到你根本没兴趣却又必须写的,怎么办--抄!说几个最开心的时刻来听吧--估计要说到明天了,我作业还没写呢!
 
教室的窗外,总期盼某个人突然出现。夜晚,怕被妈妈发现,借着明亮的月光写信。一张巴掌大的卡片可以拿着高兴一个礼拜,珍惜到连上厕所的时候也要拿进去看。喜欢晚上,因为可以自己藏在被子里想事情。喜欢下雨,因为第一次一个人座长途汽车去追觅爱情是在雨天。大人都去上班了,一个人被锁在家里,只准看书,不准出去。快高考了,拼命学习,晚上梦话都在做题。下课了,发现笔记本里夹着的纸条--不要生气了,我不是故意的。语文课,每当老师走近,用课本当伞遮挡唾沫星。在课桌上写诗,然后被老师罚站。
 
长大了,人生的目标明确了,自己照顾自己了,儿时的纯真还剩几分?

Love my days in Mexico City--My 3rd home.

Love my days in Mexico City

 

Mother in law wakes me up knocking my door ¨Baby, time to get up. ¨, with Popper’s warm greeting besides my bed (the dog). This is the way my day starts, feeling a lot love from the family and sunlight from my window.  

 

People here like to take shower every morning, saying that it helps to wake up. But I like to take my shower at night. Therefore, I am the last one to get up from bed in the family. Although dear Mom came to wake me up at 7:30, I get up at 8.00. I guess they still do not know it yet. 

 

Getting ready within 10 minutes, going out, breakfast is always ready on the table. Breakfast time in the family, is a bit like the 8am Morning Meeting in some of the Chinese companies. We talk about politics, world cup and the latest news. I like this kind of formality, which gets people ready emotionally to go to work.

 

Driver Corona is a nice man. He showed me around the company under the order of my father, saying that the intentions are getting me familiar with the company and the accent of local people. (Corona can not speak English) That is a brilliant idea, since I have to find my way to understand where the elevators and bathrooms are under his hometown Spanish instruction. (My father in law is always brilliant!!  ) It sounds not difficult, but not easy either, taking into account that there are more than 5 buildings in the company and only the Pemex Tower has 18 elevators, with each one takes care of some particular levels. To reach my office at floor 32, I need to change elevator at floor 18, like catching connection of the flight. Later people told me that the purpose of the design is for none of the elevator gets too busy at any time of the day, smart.

 

I enjoy the time on my way to work. Sitting in the car, holding my ipod, every singer is my favorite--Vanessa Williams, Collective Soul, Café Tacuba, Vanessa Carlton, Sting, Bon Jovi, Fool’s garden, Marc Anthony, surely can not forget U2. Listening to my music, looking at the people rushing on the street, I feel the world around me is a long movie. Cool! It is a great toy. A lot thanks to my dear husband.

 

Antonio--my boss now in “finance and market analysis” department. He is my 2nd boss here in Pemex, with Andres being the first when I was in “economic planning and project evaluation” department. They are of completely different kinds.

 

Andres, first to arrive in office everyday, with only one day exception when his car hit a motorcycle on the way to work. The common scene I saw when I step in the office was Andres sitting in front of his computer, with 2 hands busy typing, and month sucking his fruit juice at the same time. (That is his breakfast.) He does not talk most of the time, because he does not have the time. When I asked him question, normally one of the following two things might happen: 1, He says “I will tell you when I finish this.” 2, He explains me briefly with his eyes focusing on his screen and hands keep typing. What a busy man!!  Good for him, bad for me.

 

Antonio, last to arrive in office almost everyday, saying that he has a lot problems to fall a sleep at night. I told him that a cup of hot milk will help. Then comes the story that I was feeling sleepy one morning, he saw it, then he said”I am going for your milk!” Ha! My seat in office is not far from the door, so I have very vivid image of the way he enters: clean elegant suit, ipod on, earphones in his ears, food bag with breakfast in one hand (the same kind we use in Vanderbilt), document bag in another. A perfect student--businessman mix. He is just a “Huo2 Bao3” (in Chinese, proper English word does not exist. English speaking friend please do not get upset.). Fist thing he does after arrival is close his door and enjoy his breakfast, so that officemates could leave him alone for a while. From time to time, he takes wired things out of his elegant suit pants, such as toothpaste, a spoon. He has a lot of time to answer my questions. He likes to write on the white board while he is explaining, well, never forget to remind me be careful of his ipod charging wire, since the white board is a little far away from the table and I always sit at the table in order to take notes when necessary. He just loves his ipod so much!! And I do understand him very well.

 

Love my days in Mexico City. It is so sad that I have only 3 weeks left staying here. Actually Antonio is going to New York for a whole week. So I end up with only 2 weeks learning with him. I do not like to read in the office, since the secretaries are talking all the time and my seat is not far from them. But I just feel so lazy to read after I arrive my comfortable home. I should have used my time more efficiently since there are sooo many things for me to learn. I wish I could stay here for another month so that I can catch up with my reading debt. What can I say, using Doctor Clark’s words”Nothing is perfect.”  I should go back to read after writing this blog.

宠物

目标本是要养狗的,先拿养鱼练手,买了一对,晚上两人打假,一条战死,一条殉情。(自己从缸里跳出来,旱死)你说好好的打什么架阿,把人打死了到头来又后悔。哎!看来跟鱼没缘。下学期改养鸟,吼吼!

Vocation starts! Cheers!!

超级忙碌的一学期终于结束,take的课都考A了,no complain. 现在全面调整进入vocation状态。
 
这个假期非同一般,主要安排有二: 1。回国。 2。intern. 兴奋不已。
 
1。回国,迫不及待。两年没有回家了,时间过的飞快。想当初我出来的时候才22,现在转眼就老了阿!哈!想想自己这两年都干了些啥。好像除了上课,老实学习,其他没啥了。呵呵,家还是要回地!这次回国,想见得人很多,想做的事也很多。一回家,爸妈一宠着,估计我又放了羊了。不行不行,一定要提前做好准备,list提前列好,schedule提前排好。该做的事都要一件一件乖乖做了。哎,假期言行一致是我的弱项。哈!
 
2。intern. 这个可不是闹着玩的,一定要认真对待。出门在外不比在家里,何况还是在公公婆婆监督下过活。难度5个加号。哎,不管了,既然决定了就硬这头皮上了。辛苦点就辛苦点,反正年轻。不过这份intern还是很让我激动的。墨西哥石油公司世界第7。美国第3大供应商。Current Revenue  $77 Billion. 不知道他们的金融部是怎么运作的,等我去打探清楚再来给大家汇报。:)
 
恩。后天就要出发了。这两天要睡好美容觉,多吃水果多喝水。争取最佳状态见人。呵呵,临阵磨枪,不快也光。everything applys.......
 
Love you all my friends!  Big Kiss!!

The older I get, the more I admire my parents.
 
I find it difficult to imagine my time when I am in their age--50. I found in them, absolutely positive, absolutely honest, absolutely sincere to their friends. Being mature---beauty of life.
 
Living in 21st century,too many attractions, too many desires, and where I am heading. With them in mind, I won't get lost, spiritually.

D.C.I do not need to say much about it. Just this---I am happy that I do not think D.C. is "cool".
